Safety requirements for deep fat frying

1.Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.

2.Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.

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

4.Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly.

5.Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

How to deal with a fat fire

1.Do not move the pan.

2.Turn off the hotplate burners.

3.Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.

4.Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

Griddle

WARNING ! The oven is provided with a stop system to extract the racks and prevent them from coming

out of the oven (1).

As shown in the drawing, to

extractthemcompletely,simply

lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and pull (2).

A non-stick griddle is supplied for use over the two burners on the right hand side of the hob. The griddle is made of cast iron and the surface is covered with a special nonstick finish. To protect the non-stick coating never use metal cooking utensils as they may scratch the surface. Wooden or heat resistant plastic utensils may be used. Do not use saucepans on the griddle plate.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE GRIDDLE PLATE BE USED OVER ANY OTHER HOTPLATE BURNERS.

Use of the griddle

The griddle may be used with either or both of the burners on, depending on the food being cooked. The griddle can be positioned with the ridged portion at the front or at the rear.

1.Secure the griddle above the two simmer burners, on the right hand side of the hob, making sure that the support feet are located correctly on the pan support fingers.

2.Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob(s) of the burners anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas. Preheat the griddle plate for approximately four minutes.

3.Place the food directly on the griddle plate. However when cooking drier foods eg. drop scones the griddle plate can be lightly greased.

4.The controls can be left at high for the sealing of foods or turned down to a lower heat setting depending on what food is being cooked.

NB. A gentle heat is all that is required for the majority of griddling. Once the griddle plate is up to temperature it maintains the cooking temperature on a medium/low setting.

5.Cook the food for the required time, which will depend on the type of food being cooked.

6.To turn off, push in and turn the control knob(s) fully clockwise to the O position.

7.Allow the griddle plate to cool before cleaning.

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner controls and do not attempt to re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.
