Make sure to use adequately sized pans with flat 

bottoms that are large enough to cover the surface 

of the hotplate heating area. Using undersized 

pans will expose a portion of the hotplate surface 

to direct contact and may result in the ignition of 

clothing.

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.

WARNING! 

Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be 

dangerous and may result in fire.

n

n

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. 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. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a 

deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not use the top of the flue (the slot along the back of 

the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or 

softening butter.

n

n

DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick 

up a flaming pan. Turn off the controls and then 

smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering 

the pan completely with a well-fitting lid or baking 

tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical 

or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam 

burst’ when the oven door is opened. When opening the 

oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse  

(Fig.1-1). Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or 

other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking; 

others may break because of the sudden change in 

temperature.
This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.
