DO NOT allow young children near to the cooker when the it is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot!Guide To Using The Hotplates Setting Type Of Food 1 Melting butter, chocolate, etc. 1 or 2 Keeping small amounts of water simmering. Heating sauces containing egg yolk and butter. Simmering stews, meat, fish vegetables and fruit. 4 or 5 Cooking food just above simmering. Maintaining a rolling boil for preserve making. Deep fat frying 6 Dissolving sugar for preserve making. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area. Never fill the pan more than one third full of oil. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This lowers the fat temperature too much resulting in greasy food. 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. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free of streaks of oil or fat. 8 Using Your Hob The hob has four cooking areas which are indicated on the hob glass. There is also an on/off light which comes on when one or more of the cooking areas are switched on. The knobs can be rotated in either direction to provide fully variable heat control.
