Operation

Ceramic hob cooking zones

To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant control knob clockwise to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 0 - 9.

0 - OFF

9 - Maximum

The hob has two types of cooking zones:

2 normal cooking zones (back left and front right)

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (9) for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then adjusted to the required setting.

2 double circuit cooking zones (front left and back right)

The front left cooking zone has two heating elements.

-To switch on the smaller circular cooking zone, turn the relevant control knob clockwise to the required heat setting.

-To switch on both heating elements, turn the control knob clockwise to maximum heat setting (9) then turn the knob further to nearly reach the "0" symbol. You will hear a "click" and the wider cooking zone will switch on. Then turn back the knob

remain on until the temperature falls below 30°C, even after the cooking zone is switched off.

When a cooking zone is switched on, a short buzzing may be heard. This is quite normal and does not affect the hob operation in any way.

Mains on light

The mains on light will come on when the oven function control knob and/or the cooking zone control knob are set.

Control knob for normal cooking zone

to position 9 and adjust it to the required heat setting.

Please be aware that the two heating elements will now operate together, giving a higher power output than a normal cooking zone.

Residual heat indicators

The hob is fitted with four residual heat indicators corresponding to each cooking zone. The corresponding indicator will

Using the ceramic glass hob

Ceramic hob cooking zones

Ceramic glass surface

The glass is hard, and has been tempered to withstand heat, cold and temperature shocks. But like all glass it is sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the ceramic glass surface.

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the cooker from the electrical supply to avoid the possibility of electric shock and call you nearest Service Force Centre.

Keep all objects and materials which can melt away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil.

Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks containing sugar. If anything of this nature accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic surface it must be scraped off immediately while still hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the surface.

Energy consumption

To save energy, you should:

-use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bases.

-place pots and pans in position before switching on the cooking zone.

-wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.

-switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the residual heat.

-use the residual heat of the cooking zones for keeping food warm or for melting.

-position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zones.

Saucepans and frying pans

Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10-15 mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.

Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bases.

The bases should always be clean and dry. Cook with a lid in place.

Check that the bases of utensils are smooth and undamaged; bases with burrs and sharp edges will scratch the ceramic glass surface.

To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by lifting them, and not by sliding.

Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave behind metallic discolourations which can only be removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

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.

The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.

It is important that the oven accessories are correctly positioned.

Shelf levels 2 and 4 are fitted with telescopic shelf supports to allow en easier operation when inserting or removing the shelves.

1.Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf supports completely out, as shown in the diagram.

2.Place the shelf or the grill pan on the telescopic shelf supports, then gently push them all inside the oven (see the diagram).

Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Attention! - Do not place objects on the oven base and do not cover any part of the oven with aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause a heat build-up which would affect the baking results and damage the oven enamel. Always place pans, heatresisting pans and aluminium trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the shelf runners.

Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.

Condensation and Steam

The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking 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.

When food is heated, it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. When steam comes in contact of the oven door glass it will condense and produce water droplets.

To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is well heated before placing food in the oven cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) will then be necessary before any cooking. We recommend you to wipe away condensation after each use of the appliance.

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.

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.

AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.

BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

HintsandTipsonCookingFishandMeat

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

electrolux 15

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°C 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.

Hints and Tips on grilling

If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it.

To open the oven door, always hold the handle in the centre.

Cleaning the ceramic hob

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity supply.

Never use steam or high pressure steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool.

Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or sponges with an abrasive effect.

Special cleaning agents such as Hob Brite and ceramic hob scrapers are available from your local Service Force Centre.

Cleaning after each use

Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper. Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth, and Hob Brite.

Special problems

Stain removal

Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob cleaning agent such as Hob Brite when cool.

Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this type of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause irreparable damage to the ceramic surface. When the surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and Hob Brite.

Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.

Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones. Ensure any residues are wiped off before the cooking zones are used again.

If a chemical cleaner proves inadequate	Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.
• when darks stains occur	If the use of a scraper and a ceramic hob cleaner proves
	unsuccessful, your hob surface may have been
	damaged by using unsuitable cleaning agents, or by
	pan bases with a scouring effect. This will not impair
	the efficiency of your ceramic hob.
• when metallic discolourations	Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable
appear on the cooking zone	cleaning agents have been used. The discolourations
	can only be removed with considerable effort, using a
	ceramic glass cleaner.
• when the surface shows scratches	These may be caused by scraping or melted on objects
	and cannot be removed. This will not impair the
	efficiency of your ceramic hob

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

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.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.

The 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.

The oven door and its gasket

Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to remove it from the oven.

1.open the oven door completely;

2.find the hinges linking the door to the oven (see picture 1);

3.unlock and turn the small levers located on the two hinges (see picture 2);

4.handle the door by its leftand right-hand sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-closed (see picture 3);

5.gently pull the oven door off its site (see picture 3);

6.place it on a steady plan;

Clean the oven door glass with warm

soapy water and a softh cloth only. Never use harsh abrasives.

Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door, following the procedure in reverse.

DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed the glass panel may shatter.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Contact your local Service Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
