Never touch cooktop elements, areas near cooktop elements, oven heating elements or interior surfaces of oven. Heating elements and nearby areas may be hot enough to burn you even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not let clothing or
flammable materials touch heating elements or oven surfaces until they have had time to cool. Other surfaces that may become hot during use are the oven vent duct and the oven door.
Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the entire cooktop ele- ment. This will reduce risk of ignition of clothing from a partially exposed heat- ing element, and improve efficiency.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Always keep the appliance area clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Never store flammable materials in an oven or near cooktop elements. Flammable items may catch fire and plastic items may melt and ig- nite.
Never soak or immerse removable heating elements in water.
