A. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oil slowly on low
Settings.
B. Always turn hood “ON” when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of
the surface element.
