SAFETY ADVICE

IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN 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.

3. 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.

cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for a short period.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION

Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the
timer control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only
during the same automatic cooking programme.

NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically
because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause bacterial
growth in food.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time
so the food is ready when you require it.

3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.

4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as
possible.

5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto
cooking, keep the delay start time to a minimum.

6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could
cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.

7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay
period.

8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial
growth in food.

9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period
so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in
water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the
oven.

11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the
loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before
serving.

14. Only reheat food once.
