SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire. 1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH. 2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire. 3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it. NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires. Features Rating plate (on rear panel) Hotplate Bezel Oven Door Grill Pan Model/Serial no.

Hotplates General Information Notes Use of Hotplates Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface. Turn the control to High for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering. Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.

Make 2-3 egg omelettes. Thaw frozen vegetables. To heat solid & liquid foods. Safety requirements for deep fat frying 1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area. 2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil. 3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period. 4. Never 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 to 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. Hob General Information CHOICE OF UTENSILS Every Electric Hob deserves the right choice of utensils. We recommend for optimum performance the use of good quality utensils. PANS SHOULD NOT Be concave (bowed in) Be convex (bowed out) Be rimmed Be deeply ridged But essentially Flat Always Never . Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric heat sources. Ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use. Ensure pans match size of heating area. Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only a low or medium heat is necessary. Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources. Lift pans, do not drag. Use pan lids except when frying. Deal with spillage immediately but with care. Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands e.g. Wok stands – they can cause overheating. Use utensils with skirts or rims e.g. buckets and some kettles. Use badly dented or distorted pans. Leave an element switched on when not cooking. Cook food directly on the hotplate. Drag or slide utensils across the hob surface. Place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two hotplates. Place plastic vessels or utensils on a hot hob. Use the hob as an area for storage Always place pans centrally on the hotplate Temperature Conversion Chart Gas Mark oF Main Convection Oven Top Convection Oven Main Fan Oven 1/2 250 120 110 100 1 275 140 130 120 2 300 150 140 130 3 325 160 150 140 4 350 180 170 160 5 375 190 180 170 6 400 200 190 180 7 425 220 210 200 8 450 – 220 210 9 475 – – 220 Grill Door in grilling position Setting the Grill Grill pan handle CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. THE GRILL WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE GRILL DOOR CLOSED Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

When toasting, place the grill pan on the grill runner. Position the pan centrally below the grill element. Leave the control at High setting for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the control to a low...
