SAFETY extremely hot. • Turn off the heat if it is safe to do so but never lean over a pan to reach the controls. If you have a fire blanket, put it over the pan. If you have put the fire out, leave the pan to cool completely. Deep-fat frying presents more dangers in your kitchen. • Never fill a chip pan (or other deepfat fryer) more than one-third full of oil. • Do not use a fire extinguisher on a pan of oil, the force of the extinguisher can spread the fire and create a fireball.
USING THE HOB - GAS • If your hob is supplied with left and right handed pan supports, ensure that they are located over the alignment pins and are sitting flat on the hob. • Use pans which are large enough to avoid overflows onto the hob surface. • Wipe any spillage as soon as possible. • Clean the hob top as regularly as possible, this will prevent any build up of grease which may be a fire hazard.
USING THE HOB - GAS FOLD DOWN LID (IF FITTED) Caution: Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn off all the burners before shutting the lid. When opening and closing the lid, use the cooler outer sides of the lid glass. The lid must be opened fully, so there is no danger of it closing while the hob is being used. Appliances fitted with glass lids are fitted with a safety system which will automatically turn off the hot plate burners if they are inadvertently left on as the lid is closed.
