Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on fi re.
Never wear loose-fi tting or hanging clothes while
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items stored in cabinets over the hotplate. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in contact with a
hot surface unit and may cause severe burns.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they
will ignite if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smok ing 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.
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 hotplate,
be sure that the cord of the appliance does not come
into contact with the hotplate.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for hotplate cooking; others may break

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
any part of the cooker.
To avoid damage to the interior enamel, do not place
a meat tin or baking trays on the bottom of the oven

cooking foil. Do not use aluminium foil to cover
shelves, linings or the oven roof.

up may make container burst and cause injury.
