Before first use

Remove all packaging, both inside

and outside the oven, before using

the oven. Before first use, the oven

should be heated without food.

During this time, an unpleasant

odour may be emitted. This is quite

normal.

• Remove the oven accessories.

• Remove any adhesive labels or

protective films, if there are any.

Heat the oven on the oven function knob

on position and the oven thermostat

knob on position “250” for about 45 min.

This procedure should be repeated with the

oven function knob on position for

approximately 5-10 minutes.

Clean the accessories with a soft

detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.

Rating Plate

The model number of your cooker can be

found on the rating plate on the back of the

cooker.

About condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the

same way as a boiling kettle.

The oven vents allow some of this steam to

escape. However, always stand back from

the oven when opening the oven door to

allow any build up of steam or heat to

release.

If the steam comes into contact with a cool

surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a

trim, it will condense and produce water

droplets. This is quite normal and is not a

fault with the oven.

To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away

condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware

Use any ovenproof cookware, which will

withstand temperatures of 250

Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed

directly on the oven base.

During cooking in the oven the oven

door is hot. Take care that children do

not play near it.

Operating instruction

Oven functions

0 Off

Conventional cooking - use the top and bottom element; this function will enable

you to use your favourite recipes without having to adapt the temperatures. It is

necessary to pre-heat the oven in this instance.

Bottom oven element - enables you to finish off dishes on the bottom only.

Top oven–element - enables you to finish the dishes on the top only.

Grill - The grill cannot be used at the same time as the oven. The oven door must

be closed when grilling. Attention: use the grill function at max. 210°C.

Caution

Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuits

pans or aluminium foil directly on the base of

the oven. This could cause a heat build-up,

which could affect the performance of the

oven and damage the oven enamel.

electrolux

Oven thermostat knob

By turning the oven thermostat knob

clockwise, you select the cooking

temperature.

The temperatures are shown on the control

panel.

You can set every themperature between

50°C and 250°C.

Things to note

• Once the oven temperature has been

selected, the oven thermostat pilot light

will come on and remain on until the

oven has reached the correct setting;

after that, it will go on and off with the

thermostat, showing how the

temperature is being maintained.

• The oven light will come on when the

oven function knob is set and lights

during the oven functioning.

Cooking in the oven

During use the appliance becomes

hot. Care should be taken to avoid

touching heating elements inside the

oven.

Conventional cooking

Conventional cooking is made by natural

convection of the heated air.

It is necessary to preheat the oven.

How to proceed?

For small cakes, pastry, beaten mixture

cakes in moulds.

1. Preheat the oven, the oven function

knob on position

- about 8 min. for position 50ºC to

150ºC;

- about 15 min for position 175ºC to

250ºC;

2. Insert the meal. Turn the oven

thermostat knob on to the required

temperature.

Bottom oven element

The heat comes only from the bottom of the

oven. This position of the oven function

knob is recommended for finishing cooked

dishes.

Preheating is necessary.

How to proceed?

1. Preheat the oven, the oven function knob

on position

for about 10 min with the

oven thermostat knob on maximum

position.

2. Insert the meal. Turn the oven thermostat

knob on the desire themperature.

Top heating element

It is a radiant cooking. The heat comes from

the top of the oven only. This function is

suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g.

lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese

etc.

It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

How to proceed?

1. Insert the meal on the 3

level.

2. Turn the oven control knob on position

and turn the oven thermostat knob

on the desire themperature.

For turning off the heating elements.

Turn the knob clockwise to position off “0”.

Hints and Tips

There should always be at least 2.5cm

between the top of the food and the

element. This gives the 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 below element.

Ensure that food is placed centrally on the

shelf and there is sufficient room around the

baking tray/dish to allow for maximum

circulation.

electrolux

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays

to prevent spillage onto the oven base and

to help reduce cleaning.

Enamelware, dark, or heavy utensils

increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or

polished steel trays reflect the heat away

and give less base browning.

DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven

base as it becomes very hot and damage

may occur.

DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a

baking tray as this will increase base

browning of the food.

For economy leave the door open for the

shortest possible time, particularly when

placing food into a preheated oven.

Electric grill

WARNING: Accessible parts may

become hot when the grill is in use.

Children should be kept away. All

grilling must be carried out with the

oven door closed. During use the

appliance becomes hot.

The grill pan will become hot during

use, always use oven gloves when

removing or replacing a hot grill pan.

Attention: use the grill function at

maximum 210°C.

Grilling

Heat comes from the top of the oven. It is

suitable for grilling meat (beef bacon, pork

bacon …) that remains tender, for toast or to

brown already cooked food.

Roast meat

• Prepare the meat to be roasted, lightly

brush it with oil on both sides.

• Place it on the grill.

• Fix the oven function knob on position

• Slide the dripping pan in the guide 1.

• Slide the pan support grid in the guide 2

or 3 depending on the thickness of the

meat to be roasted.

• Use guide 3 for the thin pieces to be

roasted (toasts, pork bacon, sausage,

small fish…)

• Use guide 2 for thick pieces to be

roasted (beef bacon, large fish, poultry).

• When the first side is brown, turn the

meat without pricking it in order that the

juices are not lost.

• Roast the second side.

• Salt when ending the cooking.

Cooking time has to be determined by the

thickness of the piece to be roasted not by

its weight.

Browning

• Turn the oven function knob on position

• Place the dish on the grid and slide it in

the guide 2 or 3.

• Leave the dish under the radiation of the

grill for a few minutes.

Electric Hotplates

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant

control knob to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 0 – 6

0 – OFF

1 – Minimum

6 – Maximum.

The hob has two types of hotplates:

Normal Hotplates

We recommend the plates are switched to

maximum (6) for a short while to boost the

plate, and then adjusted to the required

setting.

Rapid Hotplate (Front right)

The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot,

will heat up more quickly than a normal

plate.

electrolux

Hob plates pilot light

This light will illuminate when use one or

more of the hotplates knob are turned on

and remains lit while these are in use.

Over a period of time the red spot may

disappear, this will not affect the

performance of the hotplate.

It is important to note that the hotplate

may smoke and produce a slightly

unpleasant odour when used for the

first time. This is quite normal and will

disappear after some time.

Do not put anything on the hob that is

liable to melt

Suggestions for the correct setting of the

plates are given in the following table:

Hints and tips

Saucepans for use on solid plates should

have several characteristics:

• They should be fairly heavy duty

• They should fit the heat area exactly,

or be slightly larger for efficient use,

NEVER smaller.

• They should have a flat base to ensure

good contact with the plate.

Good use

Bad use

(Power waste)

This is particularly important when using

pans for high temperature frying or

pressure-cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down

the plate control knob so that it will barely

keep the liquid simmering.

You can switch off the plate a short while

before you finish cooking and the final stage

will be completed on the accumulated heat.

Similarly, stews etc. cooked in well covered

saucepans cook at lower temperature which

is more economical.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid

liquids being split into the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a

pan on them or with an empty pan on

them.

electrolux

Take care never to lean or reach over a

hot electric plate. Always point pan

handles inward or over the work

surface next to the hob to avoid

accidentally knocking over a pan as

you pass by.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or

fat, as the overheated splashes could

easily ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to

turn, please contact your local Service

Centre.

Accessories delivered with the appliance

Beside the accessories delivered with the

appliance we advise you to use only heat

proof pots (according to the instructions of

the manufacturer).

Your cooker is equipped with:

• Oven grid, pan support for putting the

dishes on (roast, pastry moulds …)

The dish has to be put in the middle of

the grate to balance the weight.

• Dripping pan - it is used to collect juice

when cooking in it, place it on the shelf

Storage Compartment

Can be used for kitchen utensils or different

accessories, or when the oven is warm,

even for keeping the food warm. For

opening lift a little bit the door than turn it

downwards.

Important

Never use it for storing inflammable

materials.

Cleaning and care

The oven should be kept clean at all

times. A build-up of fats or other

foodstuffs could result in a fire,

especially in the grill pan.

Before cleaning, ensure all control

knobs are in the OFF position, and the

appliance has cooled completely.

Before any maintenance or cleaning

can be carried out, you must

DISCONNECT the cooker from the

electricity supply.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be

used as they may dull the surface finishes.

Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning the

oven and hobs. Harsh abrasives should also

be avoided.

External cleaning

We recommend for cleaning cleaners that

do not scratch the surface; after that rinse

and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid use of metall

objects (knife, edge), steel wool or nylon

pads, abrasive or caustic products, or

diluents.

Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned

whilst the oven is still warm.

electrolux

Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked

in warm soapy water after each use. From

time to time it will be necessary to do a

more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary

oven cleaner.

The Hob Top

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still

warm; as spillage can be removed more

easily than if it is left to cool.

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft

cloth well wrung out in warm water to which

a little washing up liquid has been added.

Avoid the use of the following:

• household detergent and bleaches;

• impregnated pads unsuitable for non-

stick saucepans;

• steel wool pads;

• Bath/sink stains remover.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it

is recommended that a cleaning product

such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is

used.

The Hotplates

Spills onto the actual plate should be

removed using warm water and a soft

brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the

plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner

can be purchased from most hardware

stores, e.g. “4 Hob” by Home Care

Products (follow the manufacturer’s

instruction for use).

Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of

olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is

important to note that the plate will smoke a

little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour

when next used.

Drying

Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates

throughly by switching on to a low-medium

setting for a few minutes.

Restoring

To maintain the appearance of your sealed

hotplates apply a little salt-free vegetable oil

or restorative agent (i.e. :”Collo Electrol”, or

Minky Hotplate Cleaning Cloths) periodically.

Cleaning the oven door

Removing oven door from its hinges

To make it easier to clean the oven, the

oven door can be removed.

Open the oven door into the horizontal

position. Then lift up the clips on the two

door hinges as far as they will go (a).

Slowly close the door again as far as the

stop and lift the door until the hinges come

out (b).

Replacing the oven door on its hinges

When putting the door back on its hinges,

reverse the procedure for removing the door

from its hinges.

Re-insert the door’s hinges into the slots (c).

When you do this, make sure the hinges

engage properly and evenly.

Then slowly lower the door downwards.

When you do this, make sure the corners of

the door do not touch the bottom of the

frame (if this happens, lift the door up again

and realign the hinges).

electrolux

Finally fold the clips back down towards the

oven (d). So that the door closes properly,

press down on the clips with something

(e.g. a screwdriver) (e).

Slowly check the correct operation of the

door.

Important: Never leave the door hinge levers

standing up. Otherwise the spring action

can lead to injury.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or

sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven

door glass since they can scratch the

surface, which may result in shattering

of the glass.

Oven lamp replacement

Ensure that the appliance is switched

off before replacing the lamp to avoid

possibility of electric shock.

If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must

comply with the following specifications:

Electric Power: 15W
