English
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp
n n
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch
a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of a glove – it might catch re if brought into
contact with a hot surface.
NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure
n n
that you position the handles away from the edge of
the hotplate.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on re. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.
WARNING! Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or
n n
oil can be dangerous and may result in re.
NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
n n
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.
Do not use the top of the ue (the slot along the back of
the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.
DO NOT use water on grease res and never pick

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking;
others may break because of the sudden change in
