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.
