Control KnobsThe controls for the hotplates and grill can be turned in
either direction to provide variable heat control,the oven control knob
can only be rotated clockwise from the Off position.
Operating the control when the grill is in use. In common with all
cookers having controls sited above the grill compartment, care must
be taken when setting the controls,due to hot air being emitted from
the grill compartment.
Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF position,when
appliance is not in use.

aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels.
Each control can be used to select one of six temperature
settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at
position 6.
This table is provided only as a guide – settings also

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 too 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.
