In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.

1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and

extinguish the fire.

Hotplates General Information Notes

Use of Hotplates

Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob

surface.

Turn the control to High for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower

setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are

specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.

Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life

of the hotplate.

Control Settings Guide

This is provided only as a guide – settings also depend on the type of pan used and the

quality of food.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.

4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the

temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.

Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.

6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

Keep water boiling.
