When deep fat frying, be sure that the pan is large enough to accommodate 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 frostcovered foods, as foods with high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot fat.

Blocking these holes may affect burner operation and may result in a hazard. When using the cooktop, do not touch the grates, burner caps, burner bases or any other parts in proximity to the flame. These components may be hot enough to cause burns.
