Use of Hotplates

Note:

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. Each control can be used to select one of six temperature

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

Before using the hot plates for the first time, you should heat them at maximum temperature for approximately 4

minutes, without any pans. During this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and reaches its maximum

resistance.

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.
