Sealed Hob General Information (C161E and C261E)
USE OF HOTPLATES
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob
surface.
Turn the control to 6 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.
CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE
This is provided only as a guide – settings also depend on the type of pan used and the
quality of food.
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.
