Introduction
This gas oven has been designed and manufactured to all the necessary British Standards. It also carries the C.E. mark. The oven complies with European Council Directive 90/396/EEC.
It is important that you understand how to use and care for the oven properly before you use it for the first time.
We have written this booklet with your safety in mind. Read the booklet thoroughly before you use the oven. Keep the booklet in a safe place so that anyone who uses the oven can read it. Pass the booklet on with the oven if you sell it to someone else.
For your safety
The oven is designed to cook food and you must not use it for any other purpose.
Keep children, babies and toddlers away from the oven at all times.
The installation instructions tell you how and where it can be fitted. If the oven is already installed you must make sure that all instructions have been followed. If you are in any doubt ask a competent person. More details on installation on page 4.
We have included several drawings to show the right and wrong way of doing things.
The right way will have a smiling face by it.
A sad face shows something is wrong.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cookers as this may invalidate the guarantee.

Location
For your safety
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 of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
For further details see page 38.

General information
To get the best results from your new oven please read these instructions carefully. You should pay particular attention to cooking times and gas mark settings as these may differ from your previous oven. You may find it necessary to adjust these until you are more familiar with the oven.
For your safety
Do not block any of the oven vents.
Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.
Do not let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such as kettle flexes trail over any part of the oven.
Oven housing units vary widely in construction and finish. To avoid possible damage to the housing unit, you must not leave cabinet doors or flaps above the oven open or partially open when you are using the grill or oven.
If you install your oven in a tall oven housing the storage area above the oven will become warm when you use the oven. Do not store perishable foods in the storage area above the oven.
The cooling fan for the controls
Your oven has a cooling fan. The cooling fan will start to work as soon as you light the grill or oven. You will be able to hear the fan when it is working.
The cooling fan may continue to work after you have turned off the oven or grill. It will switch itself on and off until the oven has cooled down.
If you want to turn off the electrical supply to the oven, you should not do so until the cooling fan has stopped working.
For your safety
When you are using the grill or oven warm air will exhaust from the grill cavity and the vents below the control panel.
Take care not to stand too close to the oven or grill while in use.

Ignition
The grill and oven burners light automatically when you turn on the control. If, for any reason either of the burners go out, the spark ignition will automatically relight it.
Please note:
You can only use the grill with the door fully or partially open. You cannot use the grill when the door is closed.
You cannot use the oven and grill together.
You cannot use the oven or grill in the event of a power failure.
Oven light
Your oven has one oven light.
The oven light will come on when you use the grill or oven.
The oven light bulb will usually last for many months. If the light does not work you probably need to replace the bulb. See page 33 for details on how to change an oven light bulb.
Connecting to the electricity supply
For your safety
This cooker must be earthed and protected by a 3 amp fuse.
The plug supplied with the oven can be fitted directly to a suitable three pin earthed socket.
If you have to change the fuse replace it with a 3 amp fuse which has been ASTA approved to BS 1362.
Do not use the plug until you have put the fuse cover back on. If the fuse cover is lost you can get a replacement from an electrical retailer. The correct replacement can be identified by marking or colour coding.
If you cut the plug off dispose of it safely as it will be a shock hazard if it is inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house.
If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the plug.
If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the oven which must be put right. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the oven and tell your installer.

The grill
We suggest that you run the grill without food for approximately 5 - 10 minutes to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
For your safety
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit. Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young
children should be kept away.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires.
Heat control
The grill gives variable heat settings.
The control knob turns to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high setting should be used for fast cooking such as toast. Use a lower setting to cook thicker foods such as chicken after it has been browned on the high setting.
You should remember to turn the food regularly.
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food.
The grill pan should be used on the shelf without the metal plate underneath it. The shelf can be positioned in any of the runner positions. You can reverse the grill pan grid to suit different types of food.
If you close the door whilst the grill burner is lit, it will go out and you will hear a continuous 'sparking'. The burner will automatically relight when you open the door.

Cooking positions
Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit different thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes straight on the grill shelf. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese.
Preheating
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.
Putting food on the grid
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid. If you put food outside this area it may require rotating during cooking.
Place food which needs a more gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid.
Arrange meat products and fish to suit their thickness and how you like them cooked.
Grill shelf
You should use the shelf without the metal plate when grilling. For safety the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge raised, slot the shelf onto the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in.
Use shelf position one when toasting and adjust the height of the grid to suit. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards.

Dishes, tins and trays should not be placed directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.
For your safety
Always remove the grill pan before attempting to adjust the shelf position. Oven gloves should be used when removing or pulling the shelf in and out.
For hygiene and safety reasons this cooker 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.

The grill pan and handle
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan.
Note
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Electrolux Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

To check the progress of the food when using the grill you should withdraw the grill pan on the shelf to attend to food. After removing the grill pan you can rest it on a heat resistant work surface if you need to.
Plate warming
When using the grill, you can use the shelf below the grill pan to warm plates. Do not put plates on the shelf when the grill burner is turned on and the grill pan is not in place. The heat from the burner will damage the plates.

The oven
For your safety
Never leave the cooker unattended when the oven door is open.
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth. This will remove any dust.
We suggest that you run the oven without food for 10 - 15 minutes at Gas mark 7 to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods that need different temperatures all at the same time. You can use the base of the oven to warm plates.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the oven for casseroling and so on. Preheat the oven for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packaging.
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes.

Oven shelves
The two oven shelves can be slotted into place in any of 5 positions. The top shelf position should be reserved for grilling only.
For safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a
different position, keep the front edge raised, slot the shelf onto the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in.
The shelf positions are counted from the top downwards and recommended shelf positions are given in the cooking charts on pages 17, 18 and 19. When cooking always try to leave at least one runner position between shelves to allow the heat to circulate properly.
You cannot use the shelf fitted with the metal plate in the top runner position. When you only need to use one shelf you can store the other shelf above or below the one you are using where there is more space.
Use the shelf with the metal plate in a higher runner position when cooking on two levels. The recommended shelf positions given in the oven cooking charts give the best results.
