B) TO START COOKING NOW, THEN SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY Follow the first 3 points under section 5. (A) above, and then; iv) To set the length of time you want the food to cook; turn setting knob without pulling it out, until the required cooking period can be seen in window (G), e.g.
THE RADIANT HOB (SB 420/SB 430) To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting. SB 430 ONLY To operate the dual hotplate, turn the control knobs clockwise for full area or anti-clockwise for the centre section.
THE SOLID HOTPLATES (SB 421) BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates and makes it more resistant to normal use. A harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates.
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. unfortunate event of a fire, switch OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
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 (SB 420/SB 421) Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or anticlockwise for the centre section only.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the food during cooking, or the carrier shelf can be lifted away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant work surface.
THE TOP OVEN (SB 430 ONLY) 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 on one level and for small quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.

When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf directly below the element. Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food.
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.
HINTS AND TIPS Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves 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.

DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE 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.
Harsh abrasives should also be avoided. CLEANING THE RADIANT HOB AND HOTPLATE TRIMS (SB 420/ SB 430) Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or mildly abrasive cream cleaner, e.g. Flash. The hotplate trims are removable for cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher.
