GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill/oven furniture have
been supplied with the appliance. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below,
please contact your local Service Force Centre
quoting the relevant part number.
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10
– 15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated
with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open
ventilation.

(311409401)
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some
of this steam to escape. However, always stand
back from the appliance when opening the oven
door to allow any build up of steam or heat to
release.
1 grill pan handle
(311468100)
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the
appliance.
NOTE:
If you require an additional handle for your grill
pan, this can be ordered from your local Service
Force Centre by quoting the relevant part number
311479800\6
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces,
including the vent at the rear of the hob.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

pans across two hotplates as this may cause
damage.
S The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to
the quantity and type of food to be cooked.
S To operate the dual hotplate, turn the control
knobs clockwise for full area or anti-clockwise for
the centre section.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans
with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
S Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
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.
S Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
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.
S To prolong the life of the hotplates:
S
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
S
Never use an asbestos mat.
HINTS AND TIPS
S
S
Never line the spillage tray with foil.
S Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hob to help reduce scratches and maintain the
efficiency of the hotplates.
Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.

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 appliance OFF
at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid
or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. 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.
PRESERVING
1. Preparing the food.
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with
batter coated foods as they will stick.
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be
no more than one third full when all the
ingredients have been added. It is better to use
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
2. Amount of oil.
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil.
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a
small cube of bread into the oil which should
brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the
correct temperature of 190°C/375°F.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour of the jam.
4. Cooking the food.
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do Not add
too much food at once or the temperature of the
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,
greasy food.
6. To test jam for setting:
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned.
absorbent paper.
Once cooked, drain the food on
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 at setting point.
5. Double frying chips.
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.
Increase the temperature of the oil to
190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the
chips.
7. 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.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

THE DUAL GRILL
USES OF THE DUAL GRILL
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used, or for economy purposes, the
centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.
SELECTING THE GRILL
Please Note: SB431 Green Timer will differ from the one shown in the diagram.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump

S To use the grill at lower settings, turn the
temperature control knob so that 110°C or 150°C
on the knob lines up with the off dot on the fascia
panel.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
The inner element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the outer element. This is quite normal.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the

as required.
S When using the centre section of the dual grill,
ensure food is positioned centrally on the grill
pan grid in the grill pan.
S The inner element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the outer element. This is quite
normal.
NOTE:
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,
this can be ordered from your local Service Force
Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

THE TOP OVEN
USES OF THE TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or
savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a
temperature setting of 80C° - 100°C on the top oven control dial.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
Please Note: SB431 Green Timer will differ from the one shown in the diagram.
HINTS AND TIPS
S Turn the top oven function selector to

required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The top oven neon indicator will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then go
out. It will then turn ON and OFF showing that the
oven temperature is being maintained.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
S Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be
cooked on a shelf placed on the base of the top
oven provided there is sufficient room for air
circulation around the food.
S Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.

S There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.
S When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.
S DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.
S The material and finish of the baking trays and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
S DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this
will increase base browning of the food.
S Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 22.
S For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating, however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 –10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 22. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for your own
recipes, using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
Please Note: SB431 Green Timer will differ from the one shown in the diagram.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
S Turn the oven temperature control to the required
setting.
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The main indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then
go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.

HINTS AND TIPS
S Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are numbered from the bottom upwards.
S When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf.
This will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
S When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.
S It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.
S DO NOT place baking trays directly on the oven
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.
S The use of excessively high temperatures can
cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to
reduce temperatures slightly.
Refer to the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart on page 22.

DEFROST FEATURE
USES OF DEFROST
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed
or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 – 2 hours.
This fan oven function defrosts most foods faster
than more conventional methods. It is particularly
suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be
served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered
with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits,
scones, etc.
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in
approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon
as possible during the thawing process.
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly
in the fridge.
However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function.
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE
THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
SELECTING DEFROST
Please Note: SB431 Green Timer will differ from the one shown in the diagram.
HINTS AND TIPS
S Turn the oven temperature control to the defrost
setting.
S Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
S When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon
may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven
reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
S It may turn ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain
temperature, inside the oven.
a
steady room
THINGS TO NOTE
Care must always be taken when handling foods in
the home. Always follow the basic rules of food
hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth
and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing foods.
S The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
S DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH
AND ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
CLEANING THE RADIANT HOB AND
HOTPLATE TRIMS
Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or a mild
abrasive cream cleaner.
The chrome hotplate trims are removable for easy
cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher. The
chrome hotplate supports should NOT be removed.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
The spillage tray below the hotplates can be cleaned
using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
For convenience, the hob is hinged and can be
supported using the hob stay rod during cleaning.
CLEANING THE BRASS PLATED
HANDLES (SB431 GR ONLY)
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS
PLATED FINISH.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or
scourers on the outside of the appliance as some of
the finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Regularly wipe
over the control panel, splashback, oven doors and
appliance sides using a soft cloth and liquid
detergent.
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher. The chrome hotplate
supports should NOT be removed.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

Surfaces”.
See “Care of Stayclean
S Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
The vitreous enamel oven base can be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with
care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are
followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
S A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important not to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean
surfaces from working.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the
Stayclean surfaces and must not come into
contact with elements as this may cause damage.
S Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
S Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for
an increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
S Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
S It is not necessary to add water to a meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking even at normal temperatures as well as
causing condensation.
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week to ensure continued good performance
from the Stayclean finish.
S Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.
