Safety Requirements for Deep Fat
Frying
The following recommendations
should be followed:
a) NEVER leave the pan unattended
on the heat, eg. to answer the
telephone.
b) ALWAYS use a deep pan large
enough to cover the cooking zone.
c) NEVER fill the pan more than one
third full with oil or fat. On no
account mix oil and fat.
d) NEVER overload the pan by trying
to fry too much. The pan
containing oil and food should not
be more than two thirds full.
e) ALWAYS dry food thoroughly before
frying and lower it slowly into the
oil.
f) NEVER use a lid on the pan.
g) ALWAYS keep the outside of the pan
clean and free from fat and oil.
h) NEVER allow excessive splashing
of oil onto the hob.
In the event of fire follow these
steps:
1. If a saucepan or chip pan catches
fire TURN OFF THE HEAT IF
SAFE TO DO SO, using the switch
on the front of the cooker.
2. NEVER attempt to move the pan,
this may cause the fire to spread to
other areas.
3. NEVER use WATER to put out
the fire.
4. Smother the flames with a DAMP
CLOTH; SAUCEPAN LID or FIRE
BLANKET.
When smothering the flames DO
ENSURE that your FACE AND
ARMS are WELL PROTECTED
from the flames to save you from
becoming hurt.
5. After the fire has been extinguished
NEVER MOVE OR TOUCH the
pan for at least 30 minutes.
6. If you FAIL to put the fire out call
the fire brigade immediately.
