First let appliance cool down. To collect the water,
place an appropriate container with sufficient capacity
under the appliance.

Only remove the cooking vessel with the provided
hand grip. The hand grip must engage securely on the
cooking container. The hand grip is not appropriate
for turning over the cooking insert to empty the
contents.

Risk of burns
Heat builds up when the appliance cover is closed.
Let appliance cool down prior to closing the cover.
Never switch on the appliance with the cover closed.
Do not use the appliance cover to keep food warm or
as a surface for placing objects on it.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil
is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
WARNING

If the appliance cover (VD) is fitted: do not close the
appliance cover until the appliance has cooled down
completely. Do not operate the appliance with the
cover closed. Do not use the appliance cover for
placing objects or for keeping things warm.
