Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on surface unit
by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie
sheet or flat tray or, if available, a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering with baking soda, or if available, a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Flame in oven can be smothered completely by
closing the oven door and pressing the
CLEAWOFF
pad or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
●
Do not cook on a broken glass cooktop.
Spillovers
or cleaning solution may penetrate a
broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your cooktop become broken.
●
Use care when touching the cooktop.
The
glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
●
Do not touch surface units.
These surfaces may
be hot enough
to
burn even though they are d~k,
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas nearby surface units; allow
sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
. When cooking pork,
follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
