1. press the ignition switch marked by
a small spark ( );
2. push the relevant control knob in
completely and turn it anticlockwise
to the maximum position ( );
3. upon ignition, keep the knob pushed
down for about 5 seconds. This will
allow the safety device ("thermocouple" - see figure, letter D) to be
heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted;
4. 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 (see figure, letter A, B)
are correctly positioned.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn
the knob in a clockwise direction to the
position "z".
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 1 minute before
trying to light the burner again.
When lighting the hob manually
(in case of lack of electricity): 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.
To ensure maximum burner effi-
ciency, you should only use pots and
pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

Small (auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
The hob lid
The lid is meant to avoid dust to settle
on the hob, when it is closed, and to
collect splashes of oil or fat, when it is
open. Do not use it for any other purpose.
Always wipe off any splash of liquid
before opening the lid.
Always clean the lid from cooking
residues before opening it or taking it off.
WARNING! The
crystal lid can
splinter when
overheated. Always
ensure all the
burners are off
before closing it.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
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.
The stainless steel can become
tarnished if excessively heated.
Therefore prolonged cooking with
potstones, earthenware pans or
cast-iron plates is inadvisable.
Also, do not use aluminium foil to
protect the top during use.
Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they
could tip over or spill their contents, causing accidents.
Pots must not enter the control
zone.
When cooking with the hob,
leave the lid open in order to
avoid overheating.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your
local Service Force Centre.

Hints and tips for using the hob
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 hot-
ter 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.
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.
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.

low it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until
it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels.
The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as
shown in the diagram.
It is important that the oven accessories are correctly positioned.
Shelf levels 2 and 4 are fitted with
telescopic shelf supports to allow
en easier operation when inserting or removing the shelves.
1.Pull the right and left hand telescopic
shelf supports completely out, as
shown in the diagram.
2.Place the shelf or the grill pan on the
telescopic shelf supports, then gently
push them all inside the oven (see the
diagram).
Do not attempt to close the
oven door if the telescopic
shelf supports are not
completely inside the oven.

Important: Telescopic shelf
supports and other
accessories get very hot! Use
oven gloves or similar!
Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.
When cooking with the oven
or grilling, the cover must be
kept open to avoid over-heating.

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-heating (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 glass-
ware and bright shiny utensils reduce
cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized alu-
minium, aluminium with non-stick in-
terior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and
base browning.
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).
electrolux 21
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.
Cooking times
Cooking times vary according to the
type of food to be cooked, its consistency, and volume.We suggest that you
take particular note of your first cooking experiments with the oven, since
operating in the same conditions for the
same dishes you will of course obtain
similar results.
Only experience will enable you to
make the appropriate changes to values given on charts.
Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat
and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the
speed of defrosting. However, please
note that the temperature of the kitchen
will influence the speed of defrosting. This
function is particularly suitable for delicate
food which could be damaged by heat,
e.g. cream filled gateaux, iced cakes,
pastries, bread and other yeast products.
How to Use Defrosting
)
Turn the oven function control knob to
ans set the thermostat control knob
to OFF position z.

Maintenance and cleaning
Before any maintenance or
cleaning can be carried out,
you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
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.
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" with a
metal electrode inside. Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult
lighting, and check that the burner
crown holes are not obstructed.
Pan supports
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.
Cleaning the oven
The oven 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.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials
on your oven, 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 should
also be avoided.
• Never use steam or steam machines
to clean the appliance.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door seal using a soft
cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little washing up liquid has been
added.
To prevent damaging or weakening
the door glass panels avoid the use of
the following:
• Household detergent and
bleaches
• Impregnated pads unsuitable
for non-stick saucepans
• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool
pads
• Chemical oven pads or
aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass
using warm soapy water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled it
is recommended that a cleaning product
such as Hob Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
