IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when cooking flaming foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.

BEFORE SERVICING

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be
burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels - violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and
you already know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
C. The fire department is being called.
