Safety requirements for deep fat frying In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire: 1. S w i t c h O f f t h e e l e c t r i c i t y s u p p l y . NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning pan and rushing outside with it. 2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth. NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan fire, as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
Grill GB Setting the Grill Door in grilling position For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting. DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard. GRILLING MUST BE DONE WITH THE GRILL DOOR OPEN. CONTROL KNOBS MAY BECOME HOT DURING GRILLING.
Top Oven Cookery Notes The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
