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.
HINTS AND TIPS · · · · GRILLING CHART In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling.
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.
· 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. · When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf directly below the element. · DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
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.
HINTS AND TIPS · Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. · 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. · When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

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.
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 CLEANING MATERIALS The chrome hotplate trims are removable for easy cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher. The chrome hotplate supports should NOT be removed. Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or a mild abrasive cream cleaner.
CLEANING INSIDE COMPARTMENTS THE OVEN/GRILL HINTS AND TIPS The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not be cleaned manually. See “Care of Stayclean Surfaces”. The vitreous enamel oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care.
