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.
When the grill is on, do not use the top of the flue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.
When using an electrical appliance near the hob, be sure that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact with the surface area.
If you find a crack in the hob surface immediately disconnect the appliance from the supply and arrange for its repair.
