Always check the positions of the
control knobs to make certain the cooktop is off when you are finished cooking.
When deep fat frying, be sure that
the pan is large enough to accom- modate the desired volume of food without overflow caused by bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat frying of moist or frost- covered foods, as foods with high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combi- nations of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Use a deep fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash point.
Always light each burner prior to placing a pan on the burner grate.
Also, turn the control knob to the OFF position before removing a pan from the burner grate.
