USE OF APPLIANCE

Before the First Use of the Oven

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.

1. Remove the oven accessories.

2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective

films, if there are any.

3. Heat the oven the corresponding knob on

position “290” for about 45 min.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill

function 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 lower front frame of

the cooker upon opening the door.

The cooker must be protected by a suitably

rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the

cooker is given on the rating plate.

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 290°C.

Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed

directly on the oven base.

Child safety

The door catch

The door catch makes it harder for children to

open the oven door.

To open the door, lift the lever at the same time

as pulling the door towards you.

During cooking in the oven the oven

door is hot. Take care that children do

not play near it.

When using the oven the lid has to be

opened to avoid over-heating.

ELECTRIC OVEN

The oven

The oven has removable side racks for the

shelves with four rungs on each side and the fan

with ring element on the back wall of the oven.

The functions of the oven

For all oven functions, the indicator light comes on

when the oven is heating and goes out when the

set temperature is reached (goes on and off as the

thermostat switches in and out). To choose an

oven function, turn the function control clockwise to

the symbol for the desired function (see below).

Oven Function Control Knob

0 - Oven switched off

Oven light

Conventional cooking – used 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 onl y.

Fan cooking – Thermaflow cooking; this

system will allow you to roast and bake at the

same time with very little flavour transference,

and on any shelf.

Grill - Using the grilling and top element

simultaneously

Turbo grill - Using the grill and top element

simultaneously and the fan out of time.

Pizza function - Using fan-assisted oven

(fan plus an element around the fan) and bottom

heating element.

Defrost – (NB: This is NOT a cooking

position). This position is intended to assist in

thawing of frozen foods.

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.

Thermostat Control Knob

By turning the oven control knob clockwise, you

select the cooking temperature.

Temperature selection starts at 50°C and will

reach approximately 290°C at the centre of the

oven.

The thermostat controlling the temperature is

totally variable so it is possible to select

temperatures between those marked.

The maxim setting is particularly suitable for

grilling.

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 control knob is set and lights during

the oven functioning.

THE PRINCIPLE FOR FAN-ASSISTED OVEN

Top and bottom elements and a ring element

around the fan heat the air which then spreads

through the air ducts in the back wall of the oven.

The hot air circulates in the oven before being

drawn back in through the fan grill.

The heat is transferred quickly and effectively,

and often means you can use a lower

temperature than with top/bottom heat. The

temperature can be lowered by 15-20% if the

recipe specifies a temperature between 160ºC

and 225ºC. The higher the temperature, the more

it can be lowered. It is better to use top/bottom

heat for temperatures over 225ºC.

USING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

When using this setting, heat comes from both

the top and bottom elements. This allows you to

cook on a single level and is particularly suitable

for dishes which require extra base browning

such as quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and

hotpots which require extra top browning also

cook well in the conventional oven.

This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to

cook without the fan in operation.

How to use the conventional oven

• Turn the oven function control knob to the

required cooking function

• Turn the thermostat control knob to the

required temperature.

Bottom oven element only

This function is particularly useful when blind-

baking pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be

used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the

base pastry is cooked through.

USING THE FAN OVEN

The Fan Oven

The air inside the oven is heated by the element

around the fan situated behind the back panel.

The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even

temperature inside the oven.

The advantages of cooking with this function

are:

Faster Preheating

Because the fan oven quickly reaches

temperature, it is not usually necessary to

preheat the oven although you may find that you

need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking

times. For recipes, which require higher

temperatures, best results are achieved if the

oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries,

scones, souffles, etc.

Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower

temperatures than conventional cooking.

Remember to reduce temperatures by about

20- 25°C for your own recipes, which use

conventional cooking.

Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner

positions. This means that batches of the same

food can be cooked in the oven at the same

time. However, the top shelf may brown slightly

quicker that the lower one.

This is quite usual. There is no mixing of

flavours

between dishes .

How to Use the Fan Oven

1. Turn the oven function control knob to

2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the

required temperature.

Grilling

When grilling, the accessible parts of

the appliance are hot and the appliance

should not be left unattended. Take care that

children do not play near it.

The grill pan will become hot during

use, always use oven gloves when removing

or replacing a hot grill pan.

All grilling must be carried out with the

oven door closed.

To switch on the grill, turn the oven

function control knob to GRILL, and then turn

the thermostat knob to the maximum

temperature.

Most foods should be placed on the grid in the

grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift

the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as

fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on

the grill pan, if preferred.

Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to

allow for different thicknesses of food.

Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling

to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and

fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep

them moist during cooking.

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid

when grilling meats.

When toasting bread, we suggest that the top

runner position is used with‘the ’rid in its 'high'

position.

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few

minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust

the heat setting and the shelf as necessary,

during cooking.

The food should be turned over during cooking,

as required.

NOTE: For safety in use, the thermostat

controls the grill element. During cooking,

the grill cycles on and off to prevent

overheating.

Cooking time depends on the thickness of the

meat and not on its weight.

Practical use

Never place aluminium foil, baking trays

or oven dishes directly on the bottom of

the oven. Blocking heat from the bottom of

the oven can damage the enamel through

overheating. The oven gets hot when in

use: CHILDREN NEARBY MUST BE

SUPERVISED .

The baking tray may warp temporarily due to

temperature fluctuations, or if the food, (pizza,

etc.) is unevenly distributed on its surface. The

tray resumes its shape when cool.

How does one know which oven functions to use

in different situations? See below for practical

advice on how to efficiently use the oven

functions for various ways of cooking:

Baking

Use a skewer to check whether sponge cakes

are ready when there are about 5 minutes left.

You can then shorten or lengthen the baking

time. The material, colour, shape and size of the

baking tins as well as the recipe can affect

results. TOP/BOTTOM HEAT gives an even

colour.

Fan-assisted baking

The FAN-ASSISTED OVEN reduces the total

baking time as two trays can be in the oven at

the same time. However, the bread or buns may

not brown evenly particularly if the dough had not

risen well.

Did not you get quite the result you expected? In

“Practical tips & advice” on p. 30, we give you a few

tips on solutions to your baking problems.

Cooking

TOP/BOTTOM HEAT is normally best when

using an oven shelf.

Fan-assisted cooking

Use the FAN-ASSISTED OVEN when cooking

several shelves at the same time, e.g.

meatloaf, meatballs and complete meals

(starter, main dish and dessert).

Remember to choose dishes that need the

same temperature. Dishes that need different

amounts of time in the oven will have to be put

in according to when you want them to be

ready.

Roasting

Using the TOP/BOTTOM HEAT and FAN-

ASSISTED OVEN for roasting is both easy and

practical. Joints of beef such as topside and

sirloin retain their natural juices best if roasted at

125ºC. However, cooking time is slightly longer

than at a higher temperature. Use a meat dish in

which there is just sufficient room for the joint so

that the juices do not burn dry. Use a large

roasting pan or ovenproof dish when roasting a

joint of ham as there is usually a lot of meat juice.

Be careful when removing it from the oven. If you

are using a roasting bag, cut a hole in one corner

before putting it in the oven. That way you are

less likely to burn yourself on hot steam when

you open the bag.

Grilling

Size, shape, quantity, the degree of fat marbling,

and even the initial temperature of the meat all

affect the outcome and time of the grilling

process. Fish, poultry, veal and pork will not

brown as much as the darker meats such as beef

and game. Vegetable oil and/or seasoning will

improve the colour, but it also increases the risk

of surface burning.

For best results, avoid grilling food straight from

the refrigerator. Dry the surface of the meat,

place it on the oven shelf and season to taste.

Place an oven dish, ideally lined with foil,

underneath the shelf to catch the fat etc. which

runs off. Pork chops, steaks and fish should be

grilled high up in the oven, while meats such as

thick spare ribs are better lower down.

Set the function control to

and the tempe-

ratur control to the temperature require (230ºC

maximum). Preheat the grill for 3 to 5 minutes.

Keep an eye on the food, and turn it at least

once. Grilling for too long makes food dry, dull,

and possibly burnt as well. The oven door should

be closed when grilling.

Turbo grill

The turbo grill cooks food faster and browns it

more evenly than the grill. The grill element

browns the food and the fan circulates the hot air.

Perfect for ‘tall’ dishes such as grilling ham to

give it an even, all-round colour.

Defrosting

Set the function control to . When thawing

frozen meat, fish, glazed, iced or filled bakery

products, the temperature control should be off.

Oven shelves/baking trays can be placed on

several shelf positions if you have a large quantity

of food to defrost. The times required cannot be

given here. Test using a skewer.

Pizza function

The bottom element provides direct heat to the

base of pizzas, quiches or pies, while the fan

ensure air is circulated to cook the pizza toppings

or pie fillings.

To obtain the best results use the lower shelf

levels.

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.

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.

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 left)

The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will

heat up more quickly than a normal plate.

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 fairty 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. This is particularty

important when using pans for high

temperature frying presure cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling,turn the plate

control knob so that it will barely keep the liqiud

simmering.

You can switch off the plate a short while before

you finish coking, and the final stage wil be

completed on the accumulated heat.

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.

Take care never to lean or reach over a

hot electric plate. Always point panhandles

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 Electrolux

Service Centre.

Accessories delivered with the appliance

The following accessories are supplied with your

appliance.

• Shelf for placing dishes on (roast, pastry

mounds)

The dish should be put in the middle of the

shelf to balance the weight.

• Backing tray

• Roasting tray

It is used to collect juice when cooking in it,

place it on the shelf 2 from low.

In addition to the accessories supplied we

recommend you only use heatproof dishes/pans

(according to the instructions of the manufacturer).

Removable drawer

The removable drawer is located underneath the

oven cavity.

During cooking the drawer may

become hot if the oven is in use for a long

period of time. Flammable materials such as

oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons etc.

should not be stored in the drawer.

Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will

also become hot, therefore care should be taken

when removing these items from the drawer

whilst the oven is in use or still hot.

To opening

• Catch the drawer from bottom and pull it out.

• To remove the drawer, pull it out till the stop,

than lift it slowly and pull it out completely.

Reassemble the drawer following the same

procedure in reverse.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The oven should be kept clean at all

times. A build-up of fats or other

foodstuffs could result in a fire.

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.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your

oven, check that they are suitable and that the

manufacturer recommends their use.

Cleaners that contain bleach should

NOT be used as they may dull the

surface finishes. A steam cleaner is not

to be used. Harsh abrasives should also

be avoided.

External cleaning

We recommend for cleaning cleaners type

AXION or CIF 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.

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.

Oven Shelves and shelf support

To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support soak

in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks

with a well-wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse

well and dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Oven door

For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it

is advisable to disassemble it in the following

way:

- Open the door completely.

- Turn the two locking parts on the hinge arms

to 170°;

- Partially close the door, to a 30

angle;

- Lift the door and pull out.

locking parts

Refit the door by reversing the operation

described above.

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 stain removers.

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 HomeCare 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.
