[. . . ] Even if you have used an electric cooker before, it is important that you read these instructions thoroughly before starting to cook, paying particular attention to the installation and safety instructions. Getting Help If you have any problems with installing or operating your new cooker please contact your Electricity Company for advice. For your own safety, make sure that these instructions on installation, use and maintenance are followed. IMPORTANT We advise you to keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference. [. . . ] Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity and type of food to be cooked. l Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving pans across two hotplates as this may cause damage. RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS For speed and economy only good quality saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan base should cover the hotplate as much as possible. A base diameter of up to 225mm (9") may be used on a 180mm (7") hotplate. Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc. , should comply with the recommendations given above. Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations. l l Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings. To prolong the life of the hotplates:- l Never use utensils with a skirt, e. g. l Never line the spillage tray with aluminium foil l Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan. DEEP FAT FRYING SPECIAL FRYING NOTE: For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it. DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched ON. HINTS AND TIPS l Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hotplates. If a jam thermometer is not available, remove pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold dish and cool quickly (i. e. in a freezer or frozen food storage compartment of a refrigerator). When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a finger run through it, if it is ready. The scum should be removed as soon as possible after setting point has been reached. Marmalade should be allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel rising.
