Hints and Tips

This appliance is manufactured according to the following EEC directives: 73/23 EEC - 90/683 EEC - 93/68 EEC 89/336 EEC - 90/396 EEC, current edition.

Oven Door Protection Device

All our appliances comply with the European safety standards. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the highest safety level, and avoid small children to be exposed to the heat when the appliance is operated, it is possible to fit a special ptotection device to the oven door. This device can be purchased in our Service Force Centres, specifying the relevant code (35791) and the Product No. shown on the rating plate.

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.

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 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.

☞

This procedure should be repeated with the grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

1. 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.

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 5731 W/GR only), always leave the cooker lid open, in order to avoid overheating.

Hints and Tips

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.

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.

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.
