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 ovens are 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.
