The gas cooktop
Control knobs on the gas hob
The knobs for using the gas hob of
the cooker are found on the control
panel. The regulation knobs could be
turned in anti-clockwise direction until
the small flame symbol, and vice-versa
for the larger symbol.
No gas supply
Maximum gas supply

To light a burner:
)
Your cooker is provided with
automatic integrated ignition:
1. Press the knob corresponding to the
burner ring and turn it anticlockwise
to the “Max” symbol ( ). The oven
will light automatically.
2. Make sure the flame is even and turn
the knob to the required setting.
After lighting the flame, keep the
knob pressed for about 5 seconds;
this is the time necessary to deactivate
the safety valve, which would otherwise
stop the delivery of gas. Make sure the
flame is even and turn the knob to the
required setting.
If the flame fails to light after a few
attempts, check that the cap (shown in
figure 1 by letter A) and flame
spreaders (letter B) are in the correct
position.
To turn off the flame, turn the knob
clockwise to the symbol.
To light the burner rings more easily,
ignite them before placing
cookware on the grate.
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.
If the burner flame goes out
accidentally, turn the control knob
off and do not try to reignite for at
least 1 minute.
Always lower the flame or turn it
off before removing cookware
from the burners.

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).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Semi-rapid 120 mm. 220 mm.
(medium)
Rapid (big) 160 mm. 260 mm.
Auxiliary (small) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Triple crown 180 mm. 260 mm.
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.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your
local Service Force Centre.

Electric oven
Oven function and thermostat
control knobs
They enable you to select the most
appropriate type of heating for the different cooking requirements by appropriately connecting the heating elements and
adjusting temperature to the required level.
Turn the thermostat control knob
clockwise to select temperatures between 50°C and 230°C (MAX).
0 The oven is off.
Oven Light - The oven light will be
on without any cooking function
Conventional cooking - The heat
comes from both the top and bot-
tom element, ensuring even heating
inside the oven.
Fan cooking - This allows you to
roast or roast and bake simultane-
ously using any shelf, without flavour
transference.
Inner grill - It can be used for grilling small quantities.
Oven Thermostat Pilot Light
The thermostat control light will
come on when the thermostat control
knob is turned. The light will remain on
until the correct temperature is reached.
It will then cycle on and off to show the
temperature is being maintained.
The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety
thermostat. In case of malfunctioning of
the main thermostat, and consequential
over-heating, the safety device will stop
the power supply to the appliance. If this
happens, call your local Service Force
Centre. Under no circumstances should
you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
The Minute Minder
The minute minder will mark the end
of a timed period with an acoustic alarm.
The maximum timing is 60 minutes.
Turn the Minute Minder knob
clockwise to the maximum time position,
then turn it back to the required time.
The Minute minder will not affect in
any way the oven operation, if it is in use.
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. Switch the oven function control
knob to conventional cooking .
2. Set the thermostat control knob to
MAX.
3. Open a window for ventilation.
4. Allow the oven to run empty for ap-
proximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with
the full grill function and fan cooking
electrolux 11
function for approximately 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 hold the handle in the
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 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, thin-walled 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 thermal 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.
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.
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.
