Safety information

Warning! This new appliance is easy to
use.
However, make sure to read this hand­book before installing and using it for the
first time. In this way you can obtain best
performance, avoid incorrect opera­tions, use the appliance in complete
safety and respect the environment.

Installation

•This oven must be installed by qualified
personnel in accordance with existing
rules and regulations.

• This oven is heavy. Take care when mov­ing it.

• Remove all packaging, both inside and

• This appliance is not connected to a com­bustion products evacuation device. It
must be installed and connected in ac­cordance with current installation regula­tions. Particular attention shall be given to
the relevant requirements regarding venti­lation.

• The use of a gas cooking appliance results
in the production of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Ensure that
the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechan­ical ventilation device (mechanical extrac­tor hood).

• Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may call for additional ventilation, for ex­ample opening a window, or more effec­tive ventilation, for example increasing the

level of mechanical ventilation where
present.

People Safety

• This oven is designed to be operated by
adults. Do not allow children to play near
or with the oven.

• This appliance is not intended for use by
children or other persons whose physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge prevents them
from using the appliance safely without su­pervision or instruction by a responsible

• The oven gets hot when it is in use. Chil­dren should be kept away until it has
cooled.

During Use

• This oven is intended for domestic cooking
only. It is not designed for commercial or
industrial purposes.

• Appliances become very hot with use, and
retain their heat for a long period after use.
Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven.

• 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.

• Do not block any of the oven vents. Never
line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.

• Do not allow heatproof cooking material,
e.g. roasting bags, to come into contact
with oven elements.

Controls

Oven function control knob

This control is used for selecting the type of
cooking.
Turn the knob to one of these symbols to
obtain the required function. At the same
time, the oven light is switched on.

Thermostat control knob

The cooking temperature can be set be­tween 50°C and MAX (240°C), turning the
thermostat knob clockwise.

Oven functions

The oven is off

The oven emits heat from the bottom.

Electric grill and rotisserie operation.

The grill is switched on: the oven emits
heat only from the top (suitable for
browning food)

The oven light is switched on but the
oven does not heat

Thermostat light

This light on the control panel comes on
when the oven is heating. The light goes off
when the oven temperature reaches the level
selected with the thermostat. Simultaneous­ly, the gas flow is stopped. The light may
come on several times during cooking with
the automatic lightning of the burner, to keep
the temperature constant.

Block” warning light

This light comes on to indicate gas “block”
and therefore burner shutdown. To eliminate
the block, turn the selector knob to “0” and

the thermostat knob to

(off), wait for one

minute then repeat the lighting operation.

Safety Thermostat

To prevent dangerous overheating (through
incorrect use of the appliance or defective
components), the oven is fitted with a safety
thermostat, which interrupts the power sup­ply. The oven switches back on again auto­matically, when the temperature drops.
Should the safety thermostat trigger due to
incorrect use of the appliance, it is enough to
remedy the error after the oven has cooled
down; if on the other hand, the thermostat
triggers because of a defective component,
please contact Customer Service.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air
is expelled through vents between the oven
door and the control panel, as shown in the
diagram.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is
switched off to keep the controls cool. This
is quite normal.

Before first use

The oven will work only if the time of day
has been set.

When using the oven for the first time, set the
current time with the programmer (refer to
the instructions in the section “The timer”)

electrolux 5

When used for the first time, it is advisable to
heat the oven empty in order to eliminate any
unpleasant odours caused by the insulation
and manufacturing residues.

When switching the oven on for the first time:

1. set the thermostat to MAX;

2. heat the oven EMPTY for about 45 mins;

3. switch the grill on for 5-10 minutes

4. air the room during the entire operation.
During the first minutes of operation, IT IS
ABSOLUTELY NORMALif the oven produ­ces unpleasant odours and fumes. This is
due to heating of the insulation and manu­facturing residues.

Before cooking for the first time, carefully
wash the GRILL and DRIP-TRAY (i.e. the
enamelled metal tray with raised edges
located inside the oven).

Using the oven

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

4

3

2

1

It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
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.

Warning! 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.

Warning! 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, heat-resisting pans
and aluminium trays on the shelf which
has been inserted in the shelf runners.
When food is heated, steam is created,
like in a kettle. When the steam comes
into contact with the glass in the oven

door, it condenses and creates water
droplets.

Warning! Take care not to damage the
enamelled parts of the oven when
inserting and removing the driptray and
grill.

To reduce condensation, always pre­heat the empty oven for 10 minutes.

We recommend you wipe the water droplets
away after every cooking process.

Warning! 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.

Gas oven operation

The oven cannot be lit with a naked
flame.

To light the oven:

1.

Turn the selector knob to the symbol
(the oven light comes on);

2. Turn the thermostat knob to the required
temperature (the thermostat light comes
on);

3. The oven starts the lightning phase in
about 6 seconds. The “block” light
comes on after 6 seconds (safety time) if
the oven fails to light. To try lighting again,
turn the selector knob to “0” and the ther-

mostat knob to
nute then repeat the operations descri­bed above.

When used for the first time, several
lighting attempts are normally required
due to the presence of air in the gas
pipe.

4. The thermostat light goes off when the
oven temperature reaches the level set
with the thermostat. The light may come
on several times during cooking, to keep
the temperature constant.

In case of a power failure during gas
oven operation, the oven switches off
and the gas flow is stopped. The appli­ance switches on again automatically as
soon as the power is restored.
