warning
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a
tough, durable material that withstands heating and
cooling without breaking. However, it must be noted that
as it is glass, it may break, and must therefore be treated
with care. Should you have any questions about
the glass in your new appliance, please contact the
service centre by dialling 13 13 49
• The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show
where the elements under the glass are located
• When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light
will come on. After switching off, this light will continue
to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops
below 60°C.
Electric oven fan forced baking
In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the rear
oven element. Hot air is distributed by a fan behind the rear
wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on
all shelf levels. This means, batches of food can be baked
using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.
Radiant hotplates
The high-speed radiant hotplates heat rapidly from a
cold start. This saves power.
Radiant elements swivel up for easy cleaning.
Solid hotplates
If present, the red dot in the centre of hotplate changes
colour when heated.
When necessary to keep element looking good, apply
coating of ‘hot plate protection’ onto solid hot plates.
Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking
with equal success.
Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than
conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are
typically for conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended
that when using the fan forced mode, reduce the oven
temperature by 10 degrees (refer to ‘Oven Guide’).
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
Using the Grill
• Separate Grill: Grill with door open.
Grill dish must be fully inserted.

general hints and tips
TIPS & INFORMATION
Hints general
• For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes
• The material and finish of baking trays and dishes used will
affect the way foods are baked, especially base browning.
• Enamelware, anodised aluminium, dark bakeware or nonstick interiors and coloured exteriors will assist in maintaining
or reducing the baking time and increase base browning
• Ovenproof glassware or ceramics are poor conductors
of heat. The shiny surface of aluminium or polished steel
utensils and trays also reflects the heat rather then passing
it through to the food being baked
• Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning
• Stand casseroles dishes or similar-type dishes on suitably
sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of
oven to make cleaning of oven easier
•
• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand
• DO NOT use baking trays larger than 30 x 35cm
• Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper
Fan Forced
• DO NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly
• Make sure shelves are evenly spaced
• When baking more than one dish in fan forced oven,
• When the oven is full you may need to allow a slightly

General tips
Condensation and Steam
• Always stand back from heated oven when opening oven
door to allow any build-up of steam or heat to release
• During cooking steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door. This is quite normal
• If there is any build-up of condensation on the oven door
it is recommended that it be carefully wiped away either
during or after cooking.
Chef 540 Upright Cooker GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS 7
cleaning the cooker
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Cleaning the cooker
Ovens and hotplates are made from steel and enamel. Do not
use abrasives and harsh scourers as they may scratch the surface
Do not use steam cleaners as this may cause
moisture buildup, especially in the glass door
Stainless Steel
• All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or become
greasy. You must clean these areas regularly by following
the procedures below if you want your appliance to look
its best, perform well and have a long life
• Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless
steel edges as they can be sharp
• The front frame around the oven can be cleaned with
stainless steel cleaners if it comes soiled or discoloured
• A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux
Customer Care Centres
• Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the steel.
General
• Always clean appliance after use, especially food
spillage. DO NOT use steel wool, wax polishes or
caustic based commercial cleaners as these will
damage your oven
• Door Glass – DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean glass since they can scratch
the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
• Remove shelves when cleaning oven
• If there is a build-up of grease, place a small oven proof
dish containing ¼ cup (62mL) household ammonia/cloudy
ammonia and ¾ cup (187mL) water in the oven. Heat
oven to 110 degrees and turn oven off when 110 degrees
is reached. Leave over-night. The fumes will loosen stubborn
grease and stains. Remove bowl, wash with hot, soapy
water and dry well before closing oven door again.
Oven Shelves
• Chrome shelves: use detergent and hot water. If very
dirty use a non-abrasive nylon scourer
• Enamel dishes and tray: use detergent and hot water.
If very dirty a non-abrasive nylon scourer
• DO NOT clean oven parts with abrasive or
caustic-type cleaners.
Oven – Grill Dish and Insert
• After every use, and while still warm, sprinkle grill insert
with detergent and cover with wet paper towel as this
will loosen food particles and grease
• Wash pan and grid with hot, soapy water with a little
household ammonia/cloudy ammonia added. Rinse
and dry before replacing in position.
Ceramic Hotplates
• Clean with detergent and hot water and polish with
a soft cloth
• For harder to clean spills a blade scraper is supplied
warning
Door glass is a tough and durable material designed to
withstand heating and cooling without breaking. However it
must be remembered that it is glass and may break, therefore
must be treated with care.
If you have any questions about the glass in the oven please
contact the Service centre on 13 13 49.
Oven

cloudy ammonia if necessary) and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.
• Aluminium foil, plastic and high sugar content food can
cause pitting if not removed before the hotplate has cooled.
• Sometimes SURFACE stains appear to be ‘bubble’ marks
under the ceramic glass. These can be cleaned off with
a razor blade scraper and ceramic cleaner.
Solid Hotplates
• Solid hotplates are fitted with stainless steel trim rings,
which after initial use, change colour to light brown.
This is a normal characteristic of stainless steel and will
not affect the operation or performance of your hotplates
• Clean off any spillage after hot plate has cooled down
• At regular intervals, clean hotplate with a nylon scouring
pad and soapy water. Wipe clean then warm hotplate
for 30 seconds to dry the surface
• Apply ‘hot plate protector.’ Set hotplate on high for
3 minutes to allow coating to harden.

125g butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
4 large eggs
2 cups self-raising flour
pinch of salt

Electric wiring requirements
The cooker MUST be installed in compliance with:
• Wiring connections in AS/NZS3000 Wiring Rules.
• Local regulations, municipal building codes and other
statutory regulations.
• Data Plate – Gives information about the rating and
is located behind the bottom of the oven door.
• A functional switch MUST be provided near the appliance
in an accessible position (AS/NZS3000 – Clause 4.7.1).
• Wiring MUST be protected against mechanical failure
(AS/NZS3000 – Clause 3.9).
• Disconnection from the fixed wiring must occur as required
by AS3000 wiring rules.
• This range must be connected with cable of 75°C rating
minimum.
• This product has passed the insulation resistance test after
manufacture. If the resistance reading is low at installation,
it is probably caused by moisture from the atmosphere
being absorbed by the elements after the range has been
produced. (pass at 0.01MΩ AS/NZS 3000 Wiring
Rules Clause 8.3.6.2).
• The cooker MUST be properly earthed.
• When connections are made to a multiphase 230/240V
supply, the bridge piece MUST be removed from between
the active connections.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Hard wiring
1. Remove rear panel.
2. Fit wires through hole at bottom centre using the appropriate
gland to protect insulation of wires from the hole edge. Note
that the secondary insulation of the wires will probably need
to be removed to fit through gland. If the conduit to appliance
is required to bend due to rear wall an elbow may be
required to achieve this.
3. Set the length of wiring from the gland to terminal block,
ensuring length is sufficient but not excessive.
4. Make connections to terminals and engage wires into plastic
clip. Cable tie as per diagram and secure plastic clip with
two long screws supplied.
5. Replace rear cover.
