Safety instructions

Important safety instructions!
Read carefully and keep for furture ref­erence!

Electrical safety

• This appliance must only be connected by
a registered electrician.

• In the event of a fault or damage to the ap­pliance: Take the fuses out or switch off.

• Repairs to the appliance must only be
carried out by qualified service engi-
neers. Considerable danger may result
from improper repairs. If repairs become
necessary, please contact our Customer
Services or your dealer.

Installation

Any work required on the cooker must be
carried out by a qualified engineer. Re­pairs carried out by inexperienced persons
may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.
For cookers with a plug: Make sure that the
plug is completely pushed into the mains
socket. The cooker is heavy. Edges and cor­ners with which you do not normally come
into contact, can be sharp. Use gloves when
moving the cooker. The anti-tip guard must
be fitted so that you avoid the cooker tipping
when subjected to abnormal loading.
Important! Do not place the cooker on an
extra plinth or other height increasing unit.
This means more risk that the cooker will tip
over!

Child Safety

• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• Never leave children unsupervised when
the appliance is in use.

• The appliance is fitted with a child safety
device.

• Accessible parts may become hot during
use. Young children should be kept away.

For people with pacemakers

Electrolux has examined the way in which in­duction hobs affect different types of pace­makers. The result shows that there is no risk
whatsoever for people with pacemakers to
use induction hobs, as long as they respect

a safety distance of 30 cm from the hob.

If you have a pacemaker, we suggest how­ever that you contact your doctor for ad­vice. If there is any doubt whatsoever, we
recommend that you do not use products
fitted with induction hobs.

Safety whilst Using

• This appliance is intended to be used for
cooking, roasting and baking food in the
home.

• Take care when connecting electric appli­ances to sockets nearby. Make sure that
the cooker cable does not get crushed be­hind the appliance when install or moving
the cooker.

•

Warning: Risk of burns! The appliance
get hot during use. Do not touch the hob
or the interior of the oven during use.

electrolux 3

• Using ingredients containing alcohol in the
oven may create an alcohol-air mixture
that is easily ignited. In this case, open the
door carefully. Do not have embers,
sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when
opening the door.

• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
the have been given supervision or instruc­tion concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

• Switch off the power supply to the cooker
and contact Service for repairs.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• Never use a cracked ceramic glass plate.
Liquids could, if they boil over, or during
cleaning, penetrate down into the live elec­trical components.

• Never place metal objects such as lids,
knives and spoons on the hob. They be­come hot if a heating zone is switched on
by mistake.

• Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting fat,
paraffin or other easily flammable sub­stance unattended. In the event of fire, turn
off the appliance and switch off the fan.
Extinguish the fire with a pot lid, never
use water.

• The ceramic glass plate must be used with
the greatest care. For example, flaming
with brandy or other forms of alcohol can
result in traces of fat in the fan igniting and
causing serious fires. Similarly, flames and
burning fat spills can cause injury to peo­ple.

• Check the bottoms of pots and pans. Pans
which bulge outwards tend to swivel easily
on the ceramic glass hob.

• Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and
do not place baking trays, pots, etc. on the
oven floor, as the heat that builds up will
damage the oven enamel.

• Do not store any flammable materials in­side the oven. These could ignite when the
oven is switched on.

•

Warning! Alcohol and similar substances,
which can form explosive gases, or other
substances that can cause a fire or explo­sion must not be used in the oven.

• After switching off the cooling fan, do not
keep uncovered dishes in the oven. Mois­ture may condense in the oven interior or
on the glass doors and may get into the
units.

• Do not keep chemicals or cleaning agents
in the storage drawer.

• Switch off the power supply to the appli­ance and contact Service for repairs.

Note on enamel coating.
Changes in the colour of the oven’s en­amel coating as a result of use do not
affect the appliance’s suitability for nor­mal and correct use. They therefore do
not constitute a defect in the sense of
the warranty law.

Care and Cleaning

• Keep the ceramic glass hob and ovens
clean. Fat and spilled material can cause
much smoke when heated and are also a
possible fire hazard.

• Immediately after use (while the plate is still
hot) clean with the blade scraper to re­move sugar and spills with a high sugar
content, such as marmalade, and also any
melted plastic or foil, in order to avoid dam­age to the hob. Be careful, the blade scra­per is extremely sharp.

Unpacking

Check that the cooker is in perfect condition
and not damaged. You must notify your re­tailer immediately of any damage that has
occurred during transport. For direct deliver­ies, any transport damage must be notified
to Customer Services within seven days of
delivery.
The packaging can be recycled. Contact
your local council for more information on re­cycling facilities in your area.
Do not forget to remove packing material
from inside the oven before it is used.

Telescopic runners

Make sure that the cooker anti-tip guard
is fitted.

The telescopic runners consist of two rails
that can be pulled out. The shelves, the
roasting pan and the grid are laid on top of
the rails. A locating pin keeps the shelf in po­sition (see the illustration).
Using of the telescopic runners facilitates
cooking. For example, when steak or chips
are to be basted, the roasting pan is easily
pulled out on the rails.

Warning! The rails must be pushed in
when the oven door is closed.

Using grids, baking plates and roasting
pan

It is important that the oven grid, the shelves
and the roasting pan are fixed between the
stops in the front and rear edges of the rails
to prevent them from falling off the rails. Place
the baking plate/roasting pan/grid in the rear
edge and fix against the front edge. The lo­cating pin fits into a slot under the edge of the
baking plate/roasting pan, which means that
the baking plate/roasting pan is held in posi­tion. The rails must be in their pushed-in po­sition when the grid/baking plate/roasting
pan is inserted. For the best shelf stability,
make sure that the bevelled edge is inwards
in the oven. Pull the accessories carefully
when using them so that the plate/pan/grid
does not fall off the rails. Maximum load 20
kg.

Using the oven grid

The locating pin is not needed when using
the grid. The oven grid shelf has a mark on
its upper surface. This marking must be at
the front (towards the oven door) when in
use. Make sure that food placed on the grid
is positioned behind the marking. Otherwise
there is a risk that it will not be cooked prop­erly at the front. The grid can be placed in the
roasting pan. The maximum weight to be
placed on the grid is 10 kg.

edge/roasting pan and that the baking
plate/roasting pan rests on the rails,
otherwise it can fall off the rails in the
pulled-out position. When the baking
plate/roasting pan is removed in the
pulled-out position, the rails must be
pushed back again so that the oven
door can be closed. Use oven gloves
because the rails are hot.

The cooling fan

The cooker is fitted with a cooling fan. The
purpose of the fan is to keep the appliance
cool. The cooling fan starts automatically
when the oven temperature is approx.

C. When only the hob is used, the fan
has a delayed start. When the appliance is
switched off, the fan stops automatically
when oven temperature has decreased to

approx. 250

o

C.

Operating the induction hob

The induction hob

The hob has four heating zones. They are
heated with the aid of a magnetic field, i.e.
induction. This means that

• cooking takes place faster compared with
a normal glass hob

• the zone responds “directly” to a change
in the heating setting.

Note that the induction zones can still be
hot after use.

The glass in the hob tolerates, heat, cold
and temperature shocks, but is sensitive
to impact. A spice jar or grinder falling
onto the plate could crack it. Never use
the hob to stand on, off-load materials
onto or use as a storage area.

The top oven and the left heating zones
share the same energy source (the same
electric phase) when they are used si­multaneously. It is a power regulation to
prevent a circuit overload.

The power applied to the left heating zones
will vary according to how much energy the
top oven needs. The more power that is used
for the oven (e.g. Quickstart, Conventional
heating, Turbo Max Grill or Max grill) the less
power will be available for the right heating
zones.
When a zone cannot be used fully, the dis­play for the selected zone will flash between
the maximum available power and the set
value. When the oven is switched off, the
zone will automatically return to the set value.
If the two right or left cooking zones are used
at the same time their power cannot be used
maximal. Depending which cooking zone
that first started decides which cooking zone
that got the highest power.

The induction zones

The induction zones have settings from 0 to
9 (can be seen in the hob), where 9 provides
the greatest heat.
Do this when you want to use the hob:

electrolux 9

1. Check that

– the pan or frying-pan has a magnetic

bottom.

– the pan or frying-pan is not too small.

2. Place a pan or frying-pan on the heating

zone.

3. Choose the desired setting with

or .
Remember that the pan heats up much
faster than on an ordinary hob.

4. Turn off the hob after use.

The zones share the heating effect

NOTE that when the left or the right induction
zones are switched on at the same time, they
share the heating effect. This is shown by a
clicking sound from the hob and the fact that
cooking may possibly increase and de­crease.
The reason is that they share the same en­ergy source. In order to utilise the maximum

of the other zones must be reduced (this is
done automatically).
It is possible to use both zones at the same
time, even with one set on booster. BUT RE­MEMBER that one zone has a reduced ef­fect, which means a longer cooking time. In
the case of other settings, you will not notice
any great difference, no zone has priority
over the others.
A certain sound can occur when using cer­tain pans.

A simple induction principle

When a current passes through a coil, it cre­ates a magnetic field. Under a heating zone
there is a coil fitted with ferrite rods. When a
pan (with a magnetic bottom) is placed on the
zone, the coil and rods create an almost
closed magnetic system. The energy pro­duced heats up the pan and its contents.
