Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.
Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always
heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep
fry pans should be only one third full of
fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spill over when food is added. If you use a
combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them
together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills
or overheating of foods when frying at high or
medium high temperatures. Never try to move
a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait
until the fat is cool.
When the grill is on, do not use the top
of the fl ue (the slot along the back of the
cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying
tea towels or softening butter.
When using an electrical appliance near the
hob, be sure that the cord of the appliance does
not come into contact with the surface area.
If you fi nd a crack in the hob surface
immediately disconnect the appliance from
the supply and arrange for its repair.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for hob cooking; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
Use proper pan size-select pans having fl at
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit’s
heating area. The use of undersized pans will
expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of pans to surface unit will
also improve effi ciency.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on any part of the cooker.
Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves,
linings or the oven roof.
Make sure that your kitchen is well
ventilated at all times. Use extractor fans or
hoods when fi tted.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make container burst and cause
injury.
The cooker is designed for cooking foods
only and must not be used for any other
purpose.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the
kitchen, not only does this waste fuel but the
control knobs may become overheated.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave the
oven door open for longer than necessary.
The specifi cation of this cooker should not be
altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when
moving it.
When the cooker is not in use ensure that the
control knobs are in the off position.
Do not slide pans across the hob because
this can scratch the glass - the glass is
scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Sharp
instruments, rings or other jewellery and
rivets on clothing could scratch the hob
surface.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Don’t store heavy items above the hob.
If they drop on the hob, they could cause
damage.
