Hotplates General Information Notes
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with
aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels.

settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at
position 6.
This table 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 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.

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 thegrill 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.

GRILLING CANNOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE
OVEN/GRILL DOOR CLOSED.
Open the Oven door to grilling position.
The oven/grill control is designed to operate
either the oven or grill depending on the
position of the oven door.With the door in the
open or grilling position, as shown, the door
switch enables the grill to operate.
With the oven door in the grilling position,
heating of the grill is achieved by turning the
control clockwise to the desired ‘grill setting’on
the control panel, as described under ‘setting
the Grill’.
Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.
The grill pan handle is detachable so that the
pan may also be used in the oven as a meat
pan.To fit the handle to the pan:–
Tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the
bracket.
Slide it towards the centre of the pan,up to the
‘stop’ position.
