When using the cooktop
Grease
l
Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a cooktop could
ignite and bum you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the cooktop. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook-tops
without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
l
Never leave surface burners unat-
tended at high heat settings. A boilover
could result and cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that could ignite.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of bums, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
l
Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
l
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
l
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
flaming pan by covering with a well-
fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Flaming grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if
available, a multipurpose dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
