flammable vapours. Keep flames or
heated objects away from fats and oils
when you cook with them.
• The vapours that very hot oil releases
can cause spontaneous combustion.
• Used oil, that can contain food rem-
nants, can cause fire at a lower temper-
ature than oil used for the first time.

for example opening of a window, or
more effective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical venti-
lation where present.

rect shape and diameter larger than the
dimensions of the burners. There is a
risk of overheating and rupture of the
glass plate (if applicable).
