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 spillage 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.

Using Your Hob

Type Of Food

Melting butter, chocolate,etc.

Heating food gently.

Keeping small amounts of water simmering.

Heating sauces containing egg yolk and butter.

Simmering stews, meat, fish vegetables and fruit.

Heating solid and liquid foods.

Keeping water boiling.

Thawing frozen vegetables.

Making 2-3 egg omelettes.

Cooking food just above simmering.

Maintaining a rolling boil for preserve making.

Sealing meat and fry fish.

Frying potatoes. Boiling water. Deep fat frying

Dissolving sugar for preserve making.

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 to 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.

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

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

extremely hot!

Setting the Hotplate

Step 1 Place the saucepan centrally on the required hotplate.

Step 2 Turn the associated hotplate control to the required setting.

Step 3 When you have finished, turn the hotplate control knob to the OFF position O.

❍

Using Your Hob

Something Wrong ?

Do not leave a hotplate turned on when you are not cooking as this makes it harder to

clean the ceramic surface.Temperature cut-outs are built into the hob elements to

protect them from over heating. After several minutes with the control setting on

FULL the temperature cut-out switches the element OFF and ON continuously. This

protects the hob element against the build-up of excessive heat in the cooking area.

In the unlikely event of a crack (no matter what size) appearing in the ceramic surface

switch of the electricity supply to the appliance IMMEDIATELY and contact your Service

Centre.

DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED!

Tip: Only use stainless steel pans with copper or aluminium and copper sandwich bases in

accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. The base of the pan and the

hob surface must be cleaned and the hob surface conditioned after every use. If these

recommendations are not followed a thin copper layer will build up on the hob

surface which if not cleaned after each use will result in permanent marking of the

hob surface.

Before contacting your Hotpoint Service Centre / Installer, check the following; there may be

nothing wrong with your appliance.

Care should be taken when using any pans on a ceramic surface not to drag and cause

scratching.

PROBLEM

Nothing works Is the main wall switch to the cooker turned on ?.

If a control is on, the adjacent ‘hob on’ lamp will illuminate.

Check that your pans conform with the recommendations

detailed in this book.

Hotplates are slow to boil or

will not simmer

CHECK

To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of your product carefully and

safely. Remove all doors and lids (where fitted). Remove the mains cable (where fitted)

by cutting off flush with the appliance and always ensure that no plug is left in a

condition where it could be connected to the electricity supply.

To help the environment Local Authority instructions should be followed for the

disposal of you product.
