Safety Advice In Case Of A Chip-Pan Fire

In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.

1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and

extinguish the fire.

LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE

MOVING IT. Injuries are often

caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.

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.

Using Your Hob

●Use good quality flat-based

cookware on all electric heat

sources.

●Ensure pans have clean, dry

bases before use.

●Ensure pans match size of

heating area.

●Remember good quality pans

retain heat well, so generally

only a low or medium heat is

necessary.

●Ensure pan handles are

positioned safely and away from

heat sources.

●Lift pans, do not drag.

●Use pan lids except when frying.

●Deal with spillages immediately

but with care.

Always ✓

●Use gauze, metal pan diffusers,

asbestos mats and stands e.g.

Wok stands – they can cause

overheating.

●Use utensils with skirts or rims

e.g. buckets and some kettles.

●Use badly dented or distorted

pans.

●Leave an element switched on

when not cooking.

●Cook food directly on the

hotplate.

●Drag or slide utensils across

the hob surface.

●Place large preserving pans or

fish kettles across two

hotplates.

●Place plastic vessels or utensils

on a hot hob.

●Use the hob as an area for

storage

THE BEST COMBINATIONS

This table is a general guide to the types of pan suitable for different types of hobs and

cookers. Remember pans should be good quality, with smooth, flat bases. For any

further information refer to manufacturers’instructions.

1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a paper towel to

avoid unnecessary damage to the hob. Extreme care should be taken to avoid

steam burns and hot surfaces when cleaning spillage from the hob.

2. When cooking food that contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a utensil which is

large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar spillage will permanently

damage the hob and therefore should be cleaned off with care immediately. If

sugar spillage has occurred, remove it as long as it is still hot with a metal safety

razor scraper.This will avoid any damage.

NEVER LET IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.

3. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the hob.

Hob Spillage Notes

Extreme caution should be used when cleaning the hot hob !

Using Your Hob

Deep Fat Frying Safely

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 lowers the fat

temperature too much resulting in greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, then lower it slowly into the hot oil or

fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause the fat to froth and spit if added too

quickly.

6. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free of streaks of oil or fat.

The Halogen Solarglo Cooking Zones ensure the immediate visibility of their

operation and provide instant heat.

We recommend you use these zones to cook dishes requiring fierce heat and for rapid

heating up of small quantities of food.

The Radiant Cooking Zones take longer to turn red. We recommend their use for

simmering and slow cooking.

Both the Halogen Solarglo Cooking Zones and the Radiant Cooking Zones feature

touch controls to ensure the correct supply of energy according to time. The cooking

zones do not heat up constantly but rather in pre-set sequences. This feature has

many advantages: utmost reliability, extremely quick temperature rises and accurate

control, ideal for cooking over very low heat and for delicate dishes.

NEVER allow aluminium foil to be in contact with the hob surface when in use.

DO NOT allow young children near to the hob when the it is in use as the surfaces get

extremely hot!
