Deep-frying safety requirements:

Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating
area.

Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.

Never leave oil unattended during the heating or cooking period.

Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only
lowers the temperature of the oil and results in greasy food.

Always dry food thoroughly before frying and lower it slowly into the hot oil.

Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.

Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
Never: Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands e.g. Wok stands -
they can overheat. Use utensils with skirts or rims e.g. buckets and some
kettles.
Use badly dented or distorted pans. Drag or slide utensils along the glass cooktop
surface.
Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources. Always lift
pans, do not drag. Always use pan lids except when frying. Deal with spillages
immediately but with care.
DO NOT:

Use the cooktop as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the glass.

Leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the cooktop when it is not in
use.

Place aluminium or plastic foil or plastic containers on the cooktop. We
recommend not placing large preserving pans or fish kettles across two
heating areas.

Use glass ceramic utensils.
