this appliance while it is in operation.
This appliance is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial
purposes.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example, opening of
a window, or increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
Use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans.
Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware.
Take care not to let pot holders or gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer though the

Perishable food, plastic items and
aerosols may be aected by heat and
should not stored above or below the
