Cooktop Safety Instructions - IO Mabe IO7660 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

In the event of a fire, take the following steps to
prevent injury and fire spreading
WARNING
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick-up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. If necessary, use a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven
door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-ty-
pe fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the
fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven.

Cooktop safety instructions

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings.
Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to
surrounding cabinets.
• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking
point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use
a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when using a
shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Use a proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select
cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames should be
adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive
flame may be hazardous.
• Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the
burners have ignited.
• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service;
others may break because of sudden change in temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range
without extending over nearby burners.
• Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and
block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
