1. push the relevant control knob in
completely and turn it anticlockwise
to the maximum position ( );
2. upon ignition, keep the knob pushed
down for about 5 seconds. This will
allow the "thermocouple" (see figu-

device to be switched off, otherwise
the gas supply would be interrupted;
3. then, check the flame is regular and
adjust it as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the
control knob to zero, and try again.
If after a few attempts the burner
does not ignite, check that the burner
cap and crown (see figure - A,B) are
correctly positioned.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn
the knob in a clockwise direction to the
position " ".

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 en-
sure good contact with the plate.
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 liq-
uid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a
short while before you finish
cooking, and the final stage will
be completed on the accumu-
lated heat. Similarly, stews etc.
cooked in well covered sauce-
pans cook at lower temperature
which is more economical.

Condensation and Steam
The oven is supplied with an exclu-
sive system which produces a natural
circulation of air and the constant recy-
cling of steam. This system makes it
possible to cook in a steamy environ-
ment and keep the dishes soft inside
and crusty outside. Moreover, the cook-
ing time and energy consumption are
reduced to a minimum. During cooking
steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door.
This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back
from the oven when opening the
oven door during cooking or at the
end of it to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.

Hints and Tips for using the Oven
electrolux 19
Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which
will withstand temperatures of
230°C.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc.
should not be placed directly against
the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven
base.
Do not use baking trays larger than
30 cm x 35 cm (12 in x 14 in) as they
will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance.
Pottery
Remember that a wide-bottomed
pan allows a faster cooking than a
narrow one. Always use pots which
properly fit what you have to cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are
not too small for liquids, since these
could easily overflow. Moreover, the
pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may
spread on the bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable
moulds for baking cakes. In fact, an
openable mould lets juices and sugar
leak through, falling on the bottom of the
oven and consequently burning on the
bottom of the baking tray, making
cleaning difficult. Avoid putting plastic-
handled pans in the oven as they are not
heat-proof. You should use pans with
the right diameter to fit the burner, in
order to make the most out of it, thus
reducing gas consumption. It is also
advisable to cover any boiling casserole
and, as soon as the liquid starts boiling,
lower the flame enough to keep the
boiling point.
The effects of dishes on cooking
results
Dishes and tins vary in their
thickness, conductivity, colour, etc.
which affects the way they transmit heat
to the food inside them.

Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish
and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof
dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In
this case, remember to place the drip
tray in the first position from the bottom
with some water in it. The dripping pan
will avoid the falling of melted fat on the
oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in
general, need to be cooked at a medium
temperature (between 150°C and
175°C). If you need to cook red meat
(slightly browned on the outside and
more gently cooked in the inside), a
higher temperature (between 200 and
230°C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need to be cooked at
a medium temperature (between 150°C
and 200°C).
A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) is recommeded when cooking
cakes or baking. Once the cooking has
been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check
the cooking results through the oven
door glass.

Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat
and circulates the air, at room tempera-
ture, inside the oven. This increases the
speed of defrosting. However, please
note that the temperature of the kitchen
will influence the speed of defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable
for delicate food which could be
damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled
gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and
other yeast products.
How to Use Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob
to ans set the thermostat control
knob to OFFposition .
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place
them directly on the shelf after spread-
ing a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only
from the top element. Therefore, you
need to adjust the cooking level depend-
ing on meat or fish thickness.
Always remember to place the drip-
ping pan in the lower position with some
water in it.
Cooking times
Cooking times vary according to the
type of food to be cooked, its consist-
ency, and volume. We suggest that you
take particular note of your first cooking
experiments with the oven, since oper-
ating in the same conditions for the
same dishes you will of course obtain
similar results. Only experience will en-
able you to make the appropriate
changes to values given on charts.
Hints and Tips
Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil
or plastic film to prevent drying out
during defrosting.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.
Frozen food should be placed in a
single layer when ever possible and
turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
Only joints of meat and poultry up to
2 kg. (4 lb.) are suitable for defrosting
in this way.
