FOR YOUR SAFETY
When used properly, your appliance is completely safe but as with any
product there are certain precautions that must be observed.
PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING YOUR
APPLIANCE.
ALWAYS
●
Always make sure you understand the controls prior to using the appliance.
●
Always keep children away from the appliance when in use as the surfaces will get
extremely hot during and after cooking.
●
Always make sure all controls are turned off when you have finished cooking and
when not in use.
●
Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the controls.
●
Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall switch and allow the appliance to cool
before cleaning .
●
Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can
cause a fire.
●
Always follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the
possibility of bacterial growth.
●
Always refer servicing to a qualified appliance service engineer.
●
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 too quickly.
●
Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
●
Always place pans centrally over the burner making sure handles are kept away from
the edge of the hob and cannot become heated by other burners / pans.
SAFETY ADVICE
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to
the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying. Cooking utensils containing oil must not
be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the cooking
areas.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1.
TURN OFF THE BURNERS.
2.
COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the
flames and extinguish the fire.
3.
LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the
extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil or
fat fires..
