Hotplates General Information Notes
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with
aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels.
Each control can be used to select one of six temperature
settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at
position 6. The Red Spot hotplate heats up more rapidly
to give faster boiling.
This table is provided only as a guide – settings also
depend on the type of pan used and the quality of food.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying :
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
only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in
greasy food.
5. 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.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

Control Knobs The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either
direction to provide variable heat control, the oven/grill knob can only
be rotated clockwise from the Off position.
Operating the control when the grill is in use. In common with all
cookers having controls sited above the grill compartment, care must
be taken when setting the controls, due to hot air being emitted from
the grill compartment.
Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF position, when
appliance is not in use.

To open the storage compartment door gently pull down from both
sides together, on closing the door ensure that the catch engages
correctly.
Take care as accessible surfaces inside the storage compartment will
become hot when the oven is in use.
The storage compartment is ideal for storing saucepans, meat pans,
etc. Do not use it for storing combustible materials, flammable liquids
or aerosols.
Before moving your cooker, switch off at the cooker control unit, ensure
that it is cool.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as
follows:
Open the oven/grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the
underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements or
oven interior furniture.
Note: Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy.
Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.
