Safety
The hotplate has been designed to be as safe as
possible in use. Keep all pan handles turned to a
safe position so that they are out of reach of
children and they can not be accidentally
knocked as you walk past.
Safety Recommendations for Deep Fat Frying
Use a deep pan.
Never fill the pan more than one third full.
Do not overload the pan by trying to fry too much
food at one time.
The pan should never be more than two thirds
full with food and fat or oil.
Dry food thoroughly on kitchen paper before
frying and always lower the food slowly into the
fat or oil.
Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from
streaks of fat or oilt.
Never leave fat or oil unattended during the
heating or cooking period.
Do not put anything on the hob that is
liable to melt.
