SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. 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.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire.
Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner
controls and do not attempt to re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the
chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press
the ignition button until the spark lights the gas. When operating the dual
control burner there is a separate control knob for the inner and outer
burners.
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small
flame symbol for adjusting the setting.
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the O position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignition electrode for lighting the gas.
To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the electrodes must be
kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the electrodes
using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush.
Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when
the burners are cool.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the
pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for further information.
