Knob Position
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with
aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels.
Each control can be used to select one of six temperature
settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at
position 6. The Red Spot hotplate heats up more rapidly
to give faster boiling.
This table is provided only as a guide – settings also
depend on the type of pan used and the quality of food.
Type of food
1 To melt butter,chocolate,etc.
1 or 2 To heat food gently.
To keep small amounts of water simmering.
To heat sauces, containing egg yolks and butter,
To simmer:stews,meat, fish, vegetables,fruit.
3 To heat solid and liquid foods.
Keep water boiling.
Thaw frozen vegetables.
Make 2-3 egg omelettes.
Storage Compartment
To open the storage compartment door gently pull down from both
sides together,on closing the door ensure that the catch engages
correctly.
Take care as accessible surfaces inside the storage compartment will
become hot when the oven is in use.
The storage compartment is ideal for storing saucepans,meat pans,
etc. Do not use it for storing combustible materials, flammable liquids
or aerosols.
4 or 5 To cook foods, just above simmering.
To maintain 'rolling' boil for preserve making.
5 or 6 To seal meat and fry fish.
6 Frying potatoes.
Bringing water to the boil.
Deep fat frying.
Dissolve sugar for preserve making.
Safety requirements for deep fat frying :
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
only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much,resulting in
greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying,and lower it slowly into the
hot oil or fat. Frozen foods,in particular,will cause frothing and
spitting, if added too quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
