Never wear loose-fi tting or hanging clothes while
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching
for items stored in cabinets over the hotplate.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with a hot surface unit and may cause
severe burns.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they
will ignite if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
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 fl ue (the slot along the
back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes,
drying tea towels or softening butter.
When using an electrical appliance near the
hotplate, be sure that the cord of the appliance
does not come into contact with the hotplate.
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.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on any
part of the cooker.
Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings
or the oven roof.
To avoid damage to the interior enamel, do not
place the oven pan or baking trays on the bottom
of the oven and do not line the base of the oven
with aluminium cooking foil.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make container burst and cause
injury.
