)To light a burner:

1. push the relevant control knob in completely and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum

position ().

2. then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.

If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check that the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned (see figure 2 - letter A and B).

To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a clockwise direction to the position "".

Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds.

If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the "off" position and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the burner again.

When lighting the hob manually:

Hold a flame near the burner. Never turn the control knob before approaching the burner with the flame.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to overheat.

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

Leave the burners to cool before closing the cover.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).

Burner	minimum	maximum
	diameter	diameter
Large (rapid)	180 mm.	260 mm.
Medium
(semi-rapid)	120 mm.	220 mm.
Small
(Auxiliary)	80 mm.	160 mm.

Using the Hob

Pottery

Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster cooking than a narrow one.

Always use pots which properly fit what you have to cook.

Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small for liquids, since these could easily overflow.

Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the bottom and burn easily.

It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes. In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak through, falling on the bottom of the oven and consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray, making cleaning difficult.

Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they are not heat-proof.

You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing gas consumption as shown in figure 3.

It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame enough to keep the boiling point.

Once the pre-set time has elapsed, a signal will be heard which automatically cuts out.

The oven, however, will remain on.

Before the First Use of the appliance

Before using the appliance, remove all packaging, both inside and outside the appliance, including the advertising labels and any protective film.

Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the oven accessories.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

)1. Ignite the gas oven burner and set the gas oven control knob to "240".

2.Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 60-90 minutes.

3.Open a window for ventilation.

This procedure should be repeated

with the grill function	for approxi-
mately 5-10 minutes.

Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm water to which a little mild washing-up liquid has been added.

To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part (Fig. 7).

Fig. 7

Using the Gas Oven

Always cook with the oven door closed.

During cooking, the door should be opened as little as possible to avoid heat loss, and excessive fuel consumption.

)To ignite the oven gas burner:

1.Press the gas oven control knob, turn it to 240 and wait for the flame to come on. This may take 10-15 seconds. Do not release the knob until the burner ignites. It is possible to check the flame through the holes in the bottom of the oven.

2.Upon ignition, keep the knob pressed for about 5/10 seconds, then release it and turn it to the required setting.

)If the oven burner does not light even after 15 seconds:

1.Release the gas oven control knob and turn it to the “Off position”.

2.Open the oven door and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the oven burner again.

If the oven burner accidentally goes out, turn the gas oven knob to the “Off” position and wait at least one minute before trying to light the burner again.

The gas oven and the electric grill cannot beused at the same time. The ignition of the gas oven burner prevents the electric grill control knob to operate.

When cooking with the oven and with the grill, leave the lid open in order to avoid overheating.

Oven safety device

The gas oven features a thermocouple; if for any reason the flame should extinguish, the device will stop the gas flow.

Cooking Chart

Cooking times do not include pre-heating time. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is necessary before any cooking.

zFaster Preheating

As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5- 7 minutes on cooking times. For recipes which require higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles, etc.

zLower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking.

Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20°C-25°C for your own recipes which use conventional cooking.

zEven Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf positions. This means that batches of the same food can be cooked in the oven at the same time. However, the bottom shelf may brown slightly quicker than the upper one.

This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours between dishes.

Grilling

Grilling must be carried out with the oven door closed.

)How to Use the Grill

1.Turn the “Light-Grill & Fan” clockwise control knob to position .

2.Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the top element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a

few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.

•The grill control light will come on when the "Light-Grill & Fan" control knob is set.

It will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show that the temperature is being maintained.

Hints and Tips

-Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.

-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

electrolux 19

underneath the grid when grilling meats.

-When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.

-The food should be turned over during cooking, as required.

Cooking chart

Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat and not on its weight.

Cooking times do not include pre-heating time. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is necessary before any cooking.

Hints and Tips for using the Gas burners

Start your cooking with a big flame by turning the knob to the symbol .

Then adjust the flame as necessary. The outside of the flame is much hotter than its inside (nucleus). Accordingly , the top of the flame should lick the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames mean

a waste of gas.

In contrast with electric grids, gas burners do not require flat-bottomed pans: the flames lick the bottom and spread the heat all over the surface.

No special pans are required for gas burners. However, thinwalled pans transmit the heat to the food more quickly than thick-walled ones.

Since heat doesn't spread evenly on the pan's bottom, the food may only be partially heated. Consequently it is advisable to stir the food many times.

A thick pan bottom prevents partial overheating as it allows sufficient thermic compensation.

Avoid very small pans. Wide and shallow pans are more suitable than narrow and deep ones as they allow a faster heating. Cooking is not quickened by placing narrow pans on wide burners. The result is just a waste of gas. For a proper usage, place small pans on small burners and large pans on large burners.

Remember to cover pans to reduce gas consumption.

electrolux 21

Hints and Tips for using the Oven

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.

The oven has four shelf levels which are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in Fig. 10.

It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the picture.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Attention! - 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, heatresisting pans and aluminium trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the shelf runners.

Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if overheated. For the same reason, be careful when placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.

Fig. 10

Be careful when you insert and extract the oven shelf, the dripping pan and the baking tray from the oven in order not to damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven cavity.

22 electrolux

Condensation and Steam

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.

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.

When food is heated, it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. When steam comes in contact of the oven door glass, it will condense and produce water droplets.

To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is well heated before placing food in the oven cavity. A short oven pre-heat- ing (about 10 minutes) will then be necessary before any cooking.

We recommend you to wipe away condensation after each use of the appliance.

Cookware

•Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand temperatures of 230 °C.

•Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven, or placed on the oven base.

•Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.

The effects of dishes on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to the food inside them.

A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

electrolux 23

Hints and Tips on cooking

Fish and Meat

You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the drip tray in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base.

White meat, poultry and fish in general, need to be cooked at a medium temperature (between 150°C and 175°C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher temperature (between 200°C and 230°C) for a short time is recommended.

Hints and Tips on baking

Cakes usually need to be cooked at a medium temperature (between 150°C and 200°C).

A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass.

Hints and Tips on grilling

If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them.

In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness.

Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

The oven should be kept clean at all times. Abuild-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result ina fire, especially in the grill pan.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

The Hob Top

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

-household detergent and bleaches;

-impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

-steel wool pads;

-bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily

soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

Pan Supports

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.

Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" and a metal electrode. Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Fig. 11

The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
