Burn Prevention

WARNING
Risk of burns
The grill stays hot for a long time after switching off. Do
not touch the grill for 30 - 45 minutes after switching it
off.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly, on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc., before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
WARNING
Risk of burns
If the appliance cover (VD) is fitted: do not close the
appliance cover until the appliance has cooled down
completely. Do not operate the appliance with the cover
closed. Do not use the appliance cover for placing
objects or for keeping things warm.
