Never leave the hotplate unattended at
high heat settings. Pans boiling over can
cause smoking and greasy spills may
catch on fire.
Never wear loose-fitting 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.
When the grill is on, do not use the top of
the flue (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.
If you find a crack in the Warmer surface
immediately disconnect the appliance
from the supply and arrange for its repair.

Only certain types of glass, glass-
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
