in color
.
D
o not operate surface burners without utensils in place.
A
llow elements and burner surfaces to cool before cleaning.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Loose clothing of flammable material (pot holders) could
ignite if brought in contact with hot burners and may
cause severe burns.
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating
elements. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths as pot
holders.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of
elements on. With three or four elements turned on,
surface temperatures are high. Exercise care when
touching the cooktop.
Fire (Optional Exhaust Hood)
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good
venting and to avoid grease fires.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range.
Grease
Grease is flammab

Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the range in
vent fans. Don’t lea
ve cans of drippings sit around the
range; refrigerate or dispose of promptly. Let quantities of
hot fat (a pan of deep fat for example) cool before
attempting to mo
ve or handle it. Grease fires can often be
extinguished by quickly putting on the pan lid or by
covering with baking soda.
Do not attempt to extinguish
