Gasoline and low flash-point solvents are extremely flammable and may explode, causing severe burns. Do not use gasoline or a low flash-point solvent to clean the element. Clean the element in a well-ventilated area. Be sure there are no sparks or flames in the work area, including any appliance with a pilot light.
