Rating plate
This is situated on the 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.

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 odor may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on immediately the
top oven or grill is switched on. It may run on
after the ovens are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the cooling down
period the cooling fan may switch on and off.
Warning! Always allow the cooling fan
to cool the appliance down before
switching off the electrical supply to
carry out cleaning or maintenance.
Control panel indicator neon(s)
The indicator neon will operate when the
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 discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and foodstuff from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of
the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.
Cookware
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be
placed directly against the grid covering the
fan at the back of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x
35cm (12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.
Setting the Time
The oven only operates when the time
has been set.
1. When the appliance is connected to the
electrical supply or when there has been
a power cut, Time
flashes automati-
cally.
2.

Operation
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, sweet
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 lowest setting on
the top oven temperature control.
Warning! 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.
Important! Always grill with the door
closed.
Switching the Oven On and Off
1. Turn the oven functions dial to the desired
function.

2 tray, e.g. oven levels 1 and 3
1 cake in cake tin, e.g. oven level 1
Baking tins
• Baking tins made from dark-coloured metal with Teflon coating are suitable for baking using Conventional Cooking.
• For baking using the Fan Cooking function,
baking tins made of shiny light-coloured
metal are suitable.
General instructions
• Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
• When baking using Conventional Cooking
and Fan Cooking , you can also place two
baking trays next to one another on one
level. This does not significantly affect the
baking time.
When frozen items are placed on baking
trays, they can buckle during cooking.
This happens due to the large difference
in temperature between the frozen item
and the oven. After cooling, the buckling
in the trays disappears.

How to use the Baking Tables
• The tables give the required temperature
settings, cooking times and oven levels for
a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and baking times are for
guidance only, as these will depend on the
consistency of pastry, dough or mixture,
the amount and the type of baking tin.
• We recommend setting the oven to a lower
temperature for the first time and only setting a higher temperature when required,
e.g. if you require more browning or if the
baking is taking too long.
• If you cannot find the settings for a certain
recipe, look for similar items.
• The baking time can be 10-15 minutes
longer when baking cakes on trays or in
tins on multiple levels.
• Recipes with moist ingredients such as
pizzas or fruit flans are to be baked on one
level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights
may brown at an uneven rate at first. You
should not change the temperature setting
if this occurs. Different rates of browning
even out as baking progresses.
• Baking and roasting times could differ from
those of your previous oven. For this reason you should adjust the settings you
usually use (temperature, cooking times,
etc.) and oven levels to the recommendations provided in the following tables.
Roasting
Ovenware for roasting
• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to
use for roasting. (Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.)
• You can place large roasts directly in the
roasting tray or on the shelf with the
roasting tray underneath.
• We recommend roasting leaner cuts in a
roasting pan with a lid. The meat will be
more succulent.
• All types of meat which are supposed to
be browned or form a crust or crackling
can be roasted in a roasting pan without
a lid.
The information given in the following tables is for guidance only.
• We recommend meat and fish weighing
1 kg or more for roasting in the oven.
• To prevent escaping meat juices or fat
from burning on to the pan, we recommend placing some liquid in the roasting
cookware.
• If required, turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of
the cooking time.
• Use the cooking juices to baste large
roasts and poultry several times during the
cooking time. This will give better roasting
results.
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 the
top position 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.
• When using the centre section grill, ensure
food is placed centrally on the grilling grid
directly beneath the grill element.
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.
10 electrolux
• 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.
• 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 fan cooking
• 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 placing several
dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat
to circulate freely for the best cooking results.
• When batch baking one type of food, e.g.
Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar
• 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.
• 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.
