Before using the appliance

Rating plate

This is situated on the lower front frame
of the appliance and can be seen upon
opening the door. Alternatively the
rating plate may also be found on the
back or top of some models (where
applicable).

The appliance must be protected by

a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.

The rating of the appliance is given

on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate
from the appliance as this may
invalidate the guarantee.

Preparing to use your appliance

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with
a soft cloth using hot soapy water.
Wash the furniture before use.

We suggest that you run the oven(s)
and grill for 10 – 15 minutes at
maximum temperature, to burn off any
residue from their surfaces. Accessible
parts may become hotter than in
normal use. Children should be kept
away. During this period an odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to
open a window for ventilation.

The cooling fan for the controls

The cooling fan comes on immediately
when the grill/top oven is switched on
and after a short time when the main
oven is in use. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the
appliance has cooled.

During the initial period the cooling
fan may turn on and off, this is quite
normal.

Always allow the cooling fan to
cool the appliance down before
switching off at the wall prior to
carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.

Control panel indicator neon(s)

The indicator neon will operate when
the grill (where applicable) or oven(s) is
switched on. The indicator neon will
glow. It may turn on and off during use
to show that the setting is being
maintained. If the neon does not
operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and reset
following the instructions for the
required setting.

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents
allow some of this steam to escape.
However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) 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
appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by a
fault on the appliance.

To prevent discolouration, regularly
wipe away condensation and foodstuff
from surfaces.

Automatic cooking

It is advisable to leave food in the oven
for as short a time as possible before
automatic cooking. Always ensure
commercially prepared food is well within
its use by date and that home prepared
food is fresh and of good quality.

When cooking is complete, do not

leave food to stand in the oven, but
remove and cool it quickly if the food is
not to be consumed immediately.

Always ensure food in the oven has

.

been covered before cooking if it is not
possible to remove food immediately
after cooking.

The ceramic hob

electrolux operation

13

Do not use the appliance if the
ceramic glass is damaged. If a
fault or crack becomes visible,
disconnect the appliance
immediately from the electricity
supply and contact your local
Service Force Centre.

Using the hob

•

To operate the hotplates, turn the
control knob in either direction to
vary the heat setting.

•

The highest number represents the
hottest setting and the lowest
number represents the coolest
setting. Choose a setting
appropriate to the quantity and
type of food to be cooked.

Recommended saucepans

Only saucepans with flat bases and
close fitting lids are recommended.
The saucepan base should be
approximately the same size as the
cooking area.

Ensure that new saucepans are well
scrubbed to remove edges and take off
any deposits left from manufacture.

Traditional round-bottomed Woks

must not be used even with a stand.

Woks with flat-bottomed bases are
available and do comply with the above
recommendations.

Occasionally the heated areas may
be seen to switch on and off when
higher heat settings are being used.
This is due to a safety device,
which prevents the glass from
overheating.

Some switching on and off when
cooking at high temperatures, e.g.
deep fat frying is quite normal, causes
no damage to the hob and little delay in
cooking times.

Excessive switching may however
be caused by the use of an unsuitable
saucepan or a saucepan which is
smaller than the heated area. If
excessive switching occurs,
discontinue use of the saucepan.

The grill

CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.

There is a switch in the top door which
automatically switches between Grill
and Top Oven cooking.

The grill will only work with the door

open.

Using the grill

•

Open the top door and turn the ‘Top
Oven/Grill’ control to the required

setting.

Things to note

•

The cooling fan for the controls may
operate after a time.

•

Some smoke from fat splashes may be
evident as the grill cleans itself.

•

The Top oven cannot be operated
when the grill is in use.

•

To ensure optimal cooking
performance the elements have
been carefully designed, so that
only the inner element glows red.
The outer element is hot, but will
remain dark in colour. This gives
you the best possible cooking
results.

•

At lower settings the grill may turn on
and off over time and you may prefer
to use these settings for keeping food
warm. The food will however continue
to cook gently if the grill is used for this
purpose.

•

The indicator neon will glow. It may
turn on and off during use to show that
the setting is being maintained.

To fit the grill pan handle

Press the button on the handle and insert
the lip into the widest part of the bracket.
Slide the handle towards the left and
release the button.

Ensure the handle is correctly located
when lifting the grill pan.

To remove the handle, press the button on
the handle and slide the handle towards the
right. Release the button.

Always remove the grill pan handle
during grilling.
Protect your hands when removing
the grill pan handle.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the
pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.
Ensure that the cut out on the underside of
the handle bracket locates between the
bars of the shelf.

The top oven

The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It is heated by elements in the
top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking smaller quantities
of food. It gives especially good results
if used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and
savoury flans or quiche.

The top oven is ideal for use as a
warming compartment. It can be used
to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use the top oven when you want to
warm plates. Use the lowest setting on
the top oven temperature control.

There is a switch in the top door
which automatically switches
between Grill and Top Oven
cooking.

The top oven will only work with
the door closed.

Using the top oven

•

Turn the ‘Top Oven/Grill’ control to
the required setting.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays
directly on the oven base as it
becomes very hot and damage will
occur.

To fit the top oven shelf

The shelf should be fitted with the
straight rods uppermost on the frame
and the forms towards the back of the

The main oven

The fan oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food. The
advantages of fan oven cooking are:

Preheating

The fan oven quickly reaches its
temperature, so it is not usually
necessary to preheat the oven.
Without preheating however, you may
need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on
the recommended cooking times. For
recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.

bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc.,
best results are achieved if the oven is
preheated first. For best results when
cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals always preheat the oven first.

Cooking temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires
lower temperatures than conventional
cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the cooking chart.
As a guide reduce temperatures by
about 20°C – 25°C for your own
recipes, using a conventional oven.

Batch baking

The fan oven cooks evenly on both
shelf levels, especially useful when
batch baking.

Using the main oven

•

Turn the main oven temperature
control to the required setting.

Things to note

•

The indicator neon will glow. It
may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being
maintained.

•

The cooling fan for the controls
may operate after a time.

•

The oven fan will operate.

To fit the main oven shelves

The shelf should be fitted with the
straight rods uppermost on the frame
and the forms towards the back of the
oven.

If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and

safety stop mechanism will be affected.

Do not place cookware and
cooking pots with rough bases e.g.
cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.

Defrost feature

This main oven function defrosts most
foods faster than more conventional
methods. It is particularly suitable for
delicate frozen foods, which are to be
served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux,
cakes covered with icings or frostings,
cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.

Using the defrost feature

•

Turn the main oven temperature
control to the defrost setting.

•

When defrost is selected, the oven
indicator neon may come on. It will
stay on until the oven reaches
room temperature and then go off.

•

It may turn on and off periodically
during defrosting to maintain a
steady room temperature, inside
the oven.

Things to note

•

The oven fan will come on.

hints and tips

Hints and tips

Hints and tips when using the hob

•

Lift, rather than slide saucepans on
and off the hob. This will reduce
the risk of scratches and metal
marks from saucepans with
aluminium bases. Metal marks
can be easily cleaned off providing
they are not allowed to burn on.

•

Follow any guidelines provided by
the saucepan manufacturer,
particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.

•

Avoid using thin, badly dented or
distorted saucepans. Those with
uneven bases should not be used.

•

Never leave the hotplates on when
not covered with a saucepan.

•

Ensure that the hob and
saucepans are clean and dry
before the start of cooking.

•

Follow the cleaning instructions
very closely to keep the hob
looking like new.

•

If spillage occurs with sugar
solutions, e.g. jams and syrups, it
must be wiped from the hob
before it sets and becomes hard
otherwise damage to the hob will
occur.

Hints and tips when using the grill

•

Most foods should be placed on
the grid in the grill pan to allow
maximum circulation of air and to
lift the food out of the fats and
juices.

•

Adjust the grid and grill pan runner
position to allow for different
thicknesses of food.

•

Position the food close to the
element for faster cooking and
further away for gentler cooking.

•

Food should be thoroughly dried
before grilling to minimise
splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted
butter to keep them moist during
cooking.

•

Accompaniments such as
tomatoes and mushrooms may be
placed underneath the grid when
grilling meats.

•

When toasting bread, use the shelf
in position 1 with the grid in the
‘high’ position.

•

Preheat the grill on a full setting for
a few minutes before sealing
steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf as necessary
during cooking.

•

The food should be turned over
during cooking as required.

electrolux

hints and tips

23

Hints and tips when using the top
oven

•

Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the
oven ON. Shelf positions are
counted from the bottom
upwards.

•

There should always be at least

2.5cm (1”) between the top of the
food and the element. This gives
best cooking results and allows
room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings etc. When
cooking cakes, pastry, scones
bread etc., place the tins or baking
trays centrally on the shelf.

•

Ensure that food is placed centrally
on the shelf and there is sufficient
room around the baking tray/dish
to allow for maximum circulation.

•

Stand dishes on a suitably sized
baking tray on the shelf to prevent
spillage onto the oven base and to
help reduce cleaning.

•

The material and finish of the
baking tray and dishes used affect
base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils
increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays
reflect the heat away and give less
base browning.

•

Because of the smaller cooking
space and lower temperatures,
shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by
the recommendations given in the
cooking chart.

•

Do not place baking trays directly
on the oven base as it interferes
with the oven air circulation and
can lead to base burning; use the
lower shelf position.

•

For economy leave the door open
for the shortest possible time,
particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.

Hints and tips when using the main
oven

•

Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the
oven on. Shelf positions are
counted from the bottom
upwards.

•

When cooking more than one dish
in the fan oven, place dishes
centrally on different shelves rather
than cluster several dishes on one
shelf, this will allow the heat to
circulate freely for the best cooking
results.

24

electrolux

•

When batch baking one type of
food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes,
those of similar size will be cooked
in the same time.

•

It is recommended that when
baking larger quantities the shelf
positions should be evenly spaced
to suit the load being cooked. A
slight increase in cooking time may
be necessary.

•

Do not place baking trays directly
on the oven base as it interferes
with the oven air circulation and
can lead to base burning; use the
lower shelf position.

Hints and tips when defrosting

•

Place the frozen food in a single
layer where possible and turn it
over half way through the
defrosting process.

•

The actual speed of defrosting is
influenced by room temperature.
On warm days defrosting will be
faster than on cooler days.

•

It is preferable to thaw fish, meat
and poultry slowly in the fridge.
However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost
function. Small or thin fish fillets,
frozen peeled prawns, cubed or
minced meat, liver, thin chops,
steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 –
2 hours.

•

A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken
will be thawed in approximately 5
hours. Remove the giblets as soon
as possible during the thawing
process.

hints and tips

•

Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in
weight can be thawed using the
defrost function.

•

All joints of meat and poultry must
be thawed thoroughly before
cooking.

•

Always cook thoroughly
immediately after thawing.

•

Do not leave food at room
temperature once it is defrosted.
Cook raw food immediately or
store cooked food in the fridge,
once it has cooled.

•

Care must always be taken when
handling foods in the home.
Always follow the basic rules of
food hygiene to prevent bacterial
growth and cross contamination
when defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing
foods.

care and cleaning

27

Before cleaning always allow the
appliance to cool down before
switching off at the electricity
supply.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on
your appliance, 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 and
scourers should also be avoided.
Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning
products should not be used on the
ceramic hob or on the surrounding
trims.

Cleaning the outside of the
appliance
Do not

use abrasive cleaning materials
e.g. abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool
pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel,
doors and appliance sides using a soft
cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent
streaking, finish with a soft cloth.

Stainless Steel cream cleaners are
abrasive and should be avoided as
they may dull the surface finish.

Any
spillage on the stainless steel finish
must be wiped off immediately.

Do not attempt to remove any of
the control knobs from the
appliance as this may cause
damage and is a safety hazard.

Cleaning the control knobs and
handles

It is strongly recommended that only
hot soapy water be used for cleaning
the control knobs and handles.

ANY
OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS
MAY DULL THE SURFACE FINISH.

Cleaning the ceramic hob

Make sure the ceramic glass is cool
before cleaning. It is important to clean
the ceramic hob daily to prevent
foodstuff being burnt on.

Take care to avoid the hob trims
when cleaning the ceramic glass as
they may be damaged by the cleaning
agents.

Daily cleaning

Use a hob-cleaning product specifically
designed for ceramic hobs daily. If
foodstuff is not allowed to burn on it
will be much easier to clean off.

1. Apply a small amount of hob

cleaner in the centre of each area
to be cleaned.

2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a

plastic pad designed for non-stick
saucepans and rub vigorously until
all marks are removed. This may
take a few minutes.

28

electrolux

care and cleaning

3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with
another damp paper towel and
polish dry with a soft cloth.

If hob cleaner is unavailable, one or
more of the cleaning agents below may
be used temporarily:

a. Cream Cleaner
b. Baking Soda

To remove more stubborn marks

1. Cream cleaner may be used to
clean off more stubborn stains or
to remove discolouration.

It may be necessary to rub the marks
hard for several minutes.

2. Use a plastic pad designed for
non-stick saucepans with cream
cleaner for removal of more
stubborn stains.

To remove burnt on foodstuff

We strongly recommend the use of a
Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a
single edge razor blade) to remove
spillage on the hob, in particular sugar
solutions, which if not removed can
cause permanent damage.

1. Make sure the ceramic glass is
cool.

2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with
care at an angle of 30° to remove
as much foodstuff as possible.

Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner to
finish off as directed above.

To remove discolourations or white
and silver marks

These marks sometimes give the
impression of being in or underneath
the hob glass. They can almost always
be removed provided they have not
become excessively burnt on. Follow
the instructions above under ‘To
remove more stubborn marks’.

If this is unsuccessful, make up a
paste of one part water to three parts
Cream of Tarter and leave on the
discoloured areas overnight. The
marks should be easily removable the
next day provided they have not been
excessively burnt on. The paste should
be thoroughly washed off afterwards.

To reduce marking of the hob

•

Make sure the bottom of the
saucepan and the cooking area is
clean and dry before cooking
begins.

•

Ensure saucepans are large
enough to accommodate food to
avoid boil-over.

•

If possible, wipe up spills and
splatters as they occur, but take
care to avoid steam burns.

•

Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge
to clean the hob. These may leave
a layer of soiled detergent on the
hob surface, which will burn and
discolour the next time the hob is
used.

•

Avoid the use of:

•

Household detergents and
bleaches.

•

Impregnated plastic or nylon
pads that are not described as
suitable for non-stick
saucepans.

•

Abrasive cleaning pads,
scourers and steel wool pads.

•

Chemical oven cleaners, e.g.
aerosols and oven pads.

•

Rust stain, bath and sink stain
removers.

•

Any of the above products may
cause damage to the hob.

•

It is dangerous to mix different
cleaning products. The chemicals
in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.

•

Sugar solutions must be removed
from the hob before the syrup has
set otherwise damage to the hob
surface will occur.

•

Avoid placing plastic items, foil or
dishes on the hot surface as this
will cause damage to the hob

Cleaning the grill and oven
furniture

All removable parts, except the grill pan
handle can be washed in the
dishwasher.

The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven
shelves may be cleaned using a soap
impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking
first in hot soapy water will make
cleaning easier.

Cleaning inside the grill and oven
compartments

The sides and back of the grill/second
oven and main oven compartments are
coated with a special Stay-clean
coating. They should not be cleaned
manually.

The vitreous enamel main oven base
and grill compartment base can be
cleaned using normal oven cleaners
with care. Ensure that the
manufacturers instructions are followed
and that all parts are well rinsed
afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not come
into contact with elements, the
door seal, or any painted finishes
as this may cause damage.

Aerosol cleaners must not be
used on Stay-clean surfaces.

•

To carry out the cleaning cycle,
remove the oven shelves and set the
oven to 220°C.

•

It is a good idea to run the oven for
an hour or two per week to ensure
continued good performance from
the Stay-clean finish.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat
when roasting meat, potatoes only
require brushing with fat before
cooking. Extra fat in the oven
during roasting will increase
splashing and staining of the
cavity.

•

It is

not

necessary to add water to
a meat tin when roasting. The
water and the fat juices from the
joint create excessive splattering
during cooking – even at normal
temperatures, as well as causing
condensation.

•

Covering joints during cooking will
also prevent splashing onto the
interior surfaces. Removing the
covering for the last 20-30 minutes
will allow extra browning if
required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this
method of cooking, allowing the
joint to cook through before the
outside is over-browned.
