During Use
● This cooker is intended for domestic cooking only.
It is not designed for commercial or industrial

● When in use a gas cooker will produce heat and
moisture in the room in which it has been
installed. Ensure there is a continuous air supply,
keeping air vents in good condition or installing a

build-up of fats or foodstuffs could result in a
fire.
● Never use plastic dishes in the oven or on the hob
burners.

aluminium foil.
● Always ensure that the oven vent which is located
at the centre back of the hob is left unobstructed to
ensure ventilation of the oven cavity.

Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner, push in and turn the relevant
control knob anticlockwise to maximum position. At
the same time push the electric ignition button which
is marked with a little spark. Then adjust the flame as
required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should
only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the
size of the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
i
i
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the pan, causing the
handle to overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
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.

Before the First Use of the Cooker
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the cooker, before using it.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
☞
1. Ignite the gas oven burner (see page 9)
and set the oven function control knob to
MAX.
2. Open a window for ventilation.
3. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Using the Oven
• Always cook with the oven door closed.
• Stand clear when opening the drop
down oven door. Do not allow it to fall
open - support the door using the door
handle, until it is fully open.
• The oven has four shelf levels, and is
supplied with one shelf.
The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
It is important that the shelf is correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
• Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
• When cooking in the oven (EK 5701 W/GR
only), always leave the cooker lid open, in
order to avoid overheating.
i
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.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and
bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
underneath browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and underneath browning.
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 oven proof cookware which will
withstand temperatures of 250°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.

Hints and Tips
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven
cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may
become hot if the oven is on high for a long
period of time, therefore 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.

Before using your oven
Switch the oven to MAX. and leave it to run empty
for about 30 minutes to remove any unpleasant smell.
During cooking, the door should be opened as little as

consumption.

reason the flame should extinguish, the device will
stop the gas flow.
