Do
Always Always Always Always Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both
clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base
diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used
on the front cooking areas.

Cleaning).
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT 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 must not be left unattended must not be left unattended must not be left unattended must not be left unattended (e.g. to
answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the
patterned cooking areas.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover
the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or
oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating
or cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially
frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the
oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. 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.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from
streaks of oil or fat.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.
Safety requirements for deep fat frying
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:
1. Switch Off Off Off Off Off the electricity supply.
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and
injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up
the burning pan and rushing outside with it.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER 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 NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you
FACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED from the
flames to save you from becoming hurt.
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE
PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES
BEFORE MOVING IT.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade
immediately.
