WARNING
: Use only hob guards designed
by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the manufacturer
of the appliance in the instructions for use
as suitable or hob guards incorporated in
the appliance. The use of inappropriate
guards can cause accidents.
•
DO NOT
use unstable saucepans. Always
make sure that you position the handles
away from the edge of the hotplate.
•
NEVER
leave the hotplate unattended
at high heat settings. Pans boiling over
can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent fat
overheating beyond the smoking point.
n
WARNING:
Unattended cooking on a
hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and
may result in fire.
n
NEVER
try to extinguish a fire with water,
but switch off the appliance and then cover
the flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
•
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.
•
WARNING:
Danger of fire: do not store
items on the cooking surfaces.
•
NEVER
try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the
fat is cool. 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.
