NEVER leave the hotplate unattended
•
at high heat settings. Pans boiling over
can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent fat
overheating beyond the smoking point.
WARNING:
Unattended cooking on a
•
hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and
may result in fire.
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.
NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat,
•
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the
fat is cool. 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.
DO NOT use the top of the flue (the slots
•
along the back of the cooker) for warming
plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.
DO NOT use water on grease fires and
•
never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the
controls off and then smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well fitting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
DO NOT modify this appliance. This
•
appliance is not intended to be operated
by means of external timer or separated
remote-control system.
If flammable materials are stored in the
•
drawer, oven(s) or grill(s) it may explode
and result in fire or property damage.
ALWAYS allow any cookware to cool
•
before cleaning.
Induction care
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
•
PACEMAKER AND IMPLANTED
INSULIN PUMP USERS:
of this hob comply with the applicable
European standards on electromagnetic
interference. If you are fitted with a
pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and
are concerned please consult your doctor
for medical advice.
When the hob is in use keep magnetic
•
items away, such as credit and debit cards,
floppy disk, calculators, etc.
To fully utilise the power of your
•
induction hob and to ensure longevity of
performance, we recommend the use of
AGA Rangemaster Induction cookware.
If you decide to purchase an alternative
set of cookware for use on your induction
cooker, we would strongly recommend
that composite aluminium cookware
with steel inserts, example shown Fig. 1.3,
are avoided. This type of construction
can significantly reduce the lifetime and
performance of your induction cook top.
Take care when touching the marked
•
cooking areas of the hob.
Use adequately sized pans with flat
•
bottoms that are large enough to cover
the surface of the hotplate heating area.
The use of undersized pans will expose a
portion of the surface unit to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
•
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for use on the warming zone;
others may break because of the sudden
