USING THE HOTPLATE

Ceramic hotplates

The cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable

material that withstands heating and cooling without

breaking. It is strong enough to hold the heaviest utensils.

However, it must be remembered that as it is GLASS, it may

break. Treat it accordingly! Should you have any questions

about the glass in your new appliance, please contact the

service centre by dialling 13 13 49.

The heating elements are concealed under the smooth

glass surface which has a pattern to show the location of

the elements. When cooking, turn the control to the

required setting. The hot surface warning light will illuminate to indicate the switch is on.

The ceramic cooktop glass will retain heat for a period of time after the control is turned

off. This will be indicated by the hot surface warning light which will continue to glow

until the temperature drops below 60°C.

Note: If the ceramic glass is cracked switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of

electric shock.

Hotplate Dos and Don’ts

• Do not place heat resistant mats, wire mats or aluminium foil under pots and pans.

• Do not allow pots and pans to boil dry, as damage to both pan and hotplate may result.

• Do not use the cooktop as extra bench space or as a cutting board.

• Do not allow children on or near the cooktop at any time.

• Do not allow large cookware to overhang the cooktop onto the adjacent benchtop.

This will cause scorching to the benchtop surface.

• Use pans with smooth, clean and dry bottoms to avoid scratching or burning residue

into the glass.

• Ensure the pan bottom is the same size as the working element.

• We do not recommend ceramic glass pans because they do not conduct heat well.

• Stainless steel or enamelled saucepans are best.

• Do not use pans with copper or aluminium bottoms because they can leave traces which

are difficult to remove from the glass.

• If buying new utensils select enamelled steel pans

with 2–3mm thick bottoms or stainless steel pans

with sandwich bottoms 4–6mm thick. The pan

bottom should be flat, or preferably,

slightly concave at room temperature so

that it lies flat on the glass surface when

hot.

• Do not use aluminium foil on the ceramic hotplates.

• Do not use round bottom woks or similar utensils which could lead to overheating of

the hotplates and possible damage to the cooking surface.

• Use the stored heat in the hotplate by turning the control to off before the final few

minutes of cooking.

A flat or slightly

concave pan is

preferable for

ceramic hotplates.

USING THE HOTPLATE

Gas hotplates

Operation

• The Gas Hotplate has “Flame Safe Guard” which will cut the

gas supply if the flame is extinguished.

• To ignite, push knob in and turn anti-clockwise to the

“HIGH” mark, sparks are sent to all burners. The knob must be

held in for approximately 5 seconds.

• If the flame goes out when the knob is released simply depress

the knob again and hold it down for the required length of

time. The height of the flame can be varied by turning the

control knob toward the “LOW” position.

• In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition

directly to the burner with a hand held ignition source.

1 Low heat burner (5.1 Mj/h)

Used for simmering and for use with small cookware items.

2 High heat burner (12.4 Mj/h)

Used for fast heating with large size cookware items.

3 Intense heat wok burner (15.0 Mj/h)

Used for very fast heating with woks and other large size cookware items. Use wok support

provided when cooking with a wok.

4 Medium heat burner (9.0 Mj/h)

Used for normal cooking and simmering with mid size cookware items.

To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so that it

does not go past the edge of the cookware.

USING THE OVEN

Rapid Heat

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as the smaller

element above the food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker

than on standard “bake”.

“Rapid heat” is ideal for cooking frozen pre-cooked foods such as savoury

pastries, pizzas, mini meals (TV dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Simply

place the food in the oven straight from the freezer and heat - ideal for busy

people. Cook in the upper half of the oven for best results.

Fan Forced

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan circulates the hot

air around the oven cavity so that you can put your food in different places

in the oven and still cook them at the same time. You can use the “fan

forced” function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating cooked foods, pastries

and complete oven meals. It will cook at a lower temperature and be faster

than baking. Please note that some variation in browning is normal.

Bake

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The

bottom element is a clean heat element and is below the floor of the oven.

Both elements are controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to

maintain the set temperature. You can use the “bake” function for single

trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings,

roasts and delicate egg dishes.

Base Heat

Heat comes from the element below the food. The element is controlled by

the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature. The

“base heat” function can be used to add extra browning to the bases of

pizzas, pies and pastries. Cook in the lower half of the oven when you are

using only one shelf.

Defrost

The “defrost” function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan.

You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. You can also use

“defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Understanding your ELECTRIC oven functions

USING THE OVEN

Turbo Grill

“Turbo grill” offers you the benefits of both “bake” and traditional “grill”

functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain the set temperature

while the fan circulates the heated air. The oven door remains closed for

“turbo grill”. You can use “turbo grill” for large cuts of meat, which gives

you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked meat. Put your food on a

shelf in the second lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf

position to catch any spills. When using “turbo grill” it is not necessary to

turn the food over during the cooking cycle.

Grill

The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the

food. You can use the “grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops,

sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the

oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This

will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour.

You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs

of support rails.

Maxi Grill

“Maxi grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the

food. You can use the “maxi grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak,

chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill

with the oven door closed.

“Maxi grill” allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and

will cook faster than normal “grill”. For best results it is recommended to

preheat your grill for 3 minutes. This will help seal in the natural juices of

steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either

of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

USING THE OVEN

Loading the shelves

• The oven has five positions for shelves. These

are numbered from the lowest to the highest

(see diagram opposite).

• You can make the most of the oven, if you cook

more than one tray of food at a time, eg two

trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.

• When placing shelves, it is important to give the

maximum space above and below. Load shelves in this way:

– when baking with one shelf, place it at shelf position 3 or 4

– when cooking with two shelves, place them at shelf positions 2 and 4.

Hints for better baking

• Select the correct shelf position for the food.

• Make sure dishes fit into the oven before switching it on.

• Keep the edges of the baking dishes at least 40mm from the side of the oven. This

provides better circulation of air and better cooking.

• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.

• Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with other foods. This will cause

food to steam and not brown.

• After the oven is turned off it retains heat. Use this heat to cook custards or to dry bread.

• Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. Too much oil will splatter the sides of

the oven.

• Use brightly finished aluminium or non-stick cooking pans for sponges and cakes.

Condensation

Condensation fogs the oven door and happens when you are cooking large quantities of

food from a cold start. You can minimise condensation by:

• keeping the amount of water used in cooking to a minimum;

• making sure that the oven door is firmly closed;

• baking custard in a baking dish which is just a little smaller than the water container;

• cooking casseroles with a lid.

Note: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to steam and may condense outside

the oven. This is not a problem or a fault.

Roasting meat

1. Place the meat in the oven and set the

temperature between 180°C and 200°C. (It is

recommended to wrap your meats in an oven

roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils

from splattering, making it easier to clean

your oven.)

2. Use the grill / oven dish and smokeless grill

insert. Place the meat on the insert.

3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices

to escape.

4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminum foil and leave to

stand for about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when the meat is carved.

The table shows temperatures and cooking times for different kinds of meat.

These may vary depending on the thickness of the meat or if there is a bone, or stuffing in the

meat.

Roasting poultry and fish

1. Place the poultry or fish in an oven set at a

moderate temperature of 180°C.

2. Place a layer of foil over the fish for about

three quarters of the cooking time.

The table shows temperatures and cooking

times for different kinds of fish and poultry.

These may vary depending on the thickness of

the fish or poultry, or if there is stuffing in the food.

GRILLING GUIDE

Grilling hints

This table shows how to grill different types of meat:

Beef You can use tenderloin, rump, sirloin.

Brush with oil or melted butter, especially if the meat is very lean.

Lamb You can use loin chops, shortloin chops, chump chops, and forequarter chops.

Remove skin or cut at intervals to stop curling.

Brush with oil or melted butter.

Sausages Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.

Poultry Divide into serving pieces.

Brush with oil.

Fish Brush with oil or melted butter and lemon juice.

Bacon Remove rind.

Grill flat and make into rolls.

NOTE: Always clean the grill / oven dish after every use. Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.

As a method of cooking. Grilling can be used to:

• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry and meat.

• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.

Guide to better grilling

No definite times can be given for grilling

because this depends on your own tastes and

the size of the food. These times should only be

used as a guide and remember to turn the food

over half way through the cooking process.

For better grilling results, follow these easy

instructions:

1. Remove oven / grill dish and smokeless grill insert and preheat grill for about 5 minutes.

2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut

is more than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside remains raw.

3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this prevents fats and oils from draining away,

which could result in a fire.

4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil or marinade. Grilled food is better if

marinated before cooking.

5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface and will let juices escape.

Turbo Grill

Using turbo grill will assist the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly around the food. The

recommended temperature setting is 180°C for all turbo grilling functions.

1. Use the smokeless grill insert and oven dish for all fan grilling.

2. Position the dish in the middle of the lower part of the oven, for best results.

3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is still warm.

There is no need to turn the meat as both sides are cooked at the same time which means that

the food is succulent.

Steak 15 - 20 minutes

Chops 20 - 30 minutes

Fish 8 -10 minutes

Bacon 4 - 5 minutes

RemediesCausesProblem

Ceramic hotplates

• Remove all spilt food and fat with the supplied razor

blade scraper, while the ceramic glass is still warm

but not hot. Wipe clean with dishwashing detergent

on a damp cloth.

• If aluminium foil, plastic items or high sugar content

are allowed to melt on the ceramic glass, clean

immediately with the supplied razor blade scraper

before the surface has cooled down, otherwise

pitting of the surface can occur.

Note: Items with high sugar content not only include jam and fruit, but also vegetables

such as peas, tomatoes and carrots.

• When the ceramic glass is cool, apply a suitable cleaner (supplied with the unit).

• It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturers instructions. Remove any cleaning

residue from the surface as staining of the cooktop may occur.

• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, as they may scratch the cooktop.

• Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface deterioration is excluded from

the warranty.

Gas hotplates

Removing trivets

• The trivets locate on the hob with rubber

feet.

• They can be removed for cleaning by

carefully lifting them from the hob.

• Clean by washing with warm soapy water.

• Take care when replacing the trivets as

dropping them may damage the hob or

the trivet.

• The wok support should only be used

when wok cooking and should be

removed when using flat bottom pans.

Removing burners

• The burner caps and crowns are removable

for cleaning.

• Flame port blockage should be removed by means of

a match stick or brush.

• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a

non-abrasive cleaning compound.

• Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic type

cleaners, or clean in a dishwasher.

Refitting burner crowns and caps

• The burner crown must be fitted correctly into the

burner cup or damage will occur during operation.

• To do this, ensure that the rib next to the side hole

of the burner crown is positioned into the slot in the

burner cup. The burner cap is simply positioned over

the top of the burner crown.

Note: When the burner is correctly fitted it will sit

level on the hob.

CLEANING THE OVEN

Safety warnings for cleaning

• Make sure that the appliance is turned off before cleaning and removing and replacing parts.

• Always immediately clean up spilled food.

Cleaning products

• Do not use caustic based cleaners, as this appliance has aluminium fittings.

• Do not use steam cleaners, as this will cause moisture build-up.

Cleaning enamel

Follow instructions on product carefully.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishers.

Cleaning stainless steel

All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or become greasy. You must clean these

areas regularly by following the procedures below, if you want your appliance to look its

best, perform well and have a long life.

Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel edges…they can be

sharp!

• Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water.

• If you want a better look, wipe your appliance with a suitable stainless steel cleaner

then wipe with a soft lint free cloth.

• Use a stainless steel cleaner only

where the stainless steel is extremely dirty and / or

discoloured. A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux Service or Spares.

Note: Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the steel.

The element will drop down freely.

CLEANING THE OVEN

Catalytic self-clean panels

These panels are coated with a special enamel coating, over normal enamel. During

normal cooking food spatters and fats are partially absorbed into the panels and

oxidises away.

If the liners and the cover become very dirty, they will need to be taken out of the oven

and cleaned.

Removing the catalytic panels

1 Grasp the shelf supports at the front.

2 Pull the shelf supports towards the centre

of the oven.

3 Separate the catalytic liners from the

shelf supports.

4 Soak the liners in hot soapy water for at least

two hours.

5 Wipe clean with a soft cloth.

6 To replace the liners, align them to the shelf

support by aligning the rails to the holes (see

diagram opposite).

7 Make sure that the catalytic surface is facing the

shelf support.

8 Clip the shelf support to the liner.

9 Fit the liner and the shelf support to the oven by:

• inserting the rear hook to the hole in the oven

(see diagram opposite).

• inserting the front hook to the hole in the oven

(see diagram opposite).

Note: Never use cleaning powders,

creamy cleansers, caustic oven

cleaners, steel wool or other

scourers on the liner surface.

If you have a problem with the oven or the grill, check the table below. You may be able

to solve the problem and this will save you from paying for a service call. You will have to

pay for a service call even in the warranty period if the problem is one listed in the table.

Note: Only an authorised technician should carry out servicing.

When you need information about your cooker, a service or replacement parts, look

at the data plate which you can see when the grill door is open. Tell the service

agent the Model Number and the Serial Number.
