Hotplates General Information Notes

Note: Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the

hob surface.

Use of Hotplates

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. The red spot hotplate heats up more rapidly to give faster boiling.

Control Settings Guide

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 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.
