  Never heat the pot up on the highest energy level if it is filled with fat. If it overheats switch the hotplate off immediately. Never lift the pot directly off the hotplate, but first allow it to stand on the cooling plate.
  Do not place meat which is still dripping with liquid into hot fat. The fat splattering out on to a hot hob could easily cause a fire.
  The pot is suitable for use on gas, electric, ceramic, halogen and induction hobs.
