Never leave a cooking hob or ring on without a pot or pan on
top of it, to avoid the possibility of excess heat damaging the
unit. Gas, oil in particular should never be left uncovered.
Special care should be taken when using deep fat fryers since
the oil in them can overheat and burst into flames.
The risk of a fat fire increases when using dirty oil.
It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a
fire.
Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.
Always disconnect the unit from the power supply
before carrying out any work on the hood, including
replacing the light bulb (take the cartridge fuse out of the
fuse holder or switch off the automatic circuit breaker).
It is very important to clean the hood and replace the
filter at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so
could cause grease deposits to build up, causing a fire
hazard.
