UNDERSTANDING THE FUNCTIONS

Baking

Heat comes from the element below the food. The element is controlled
by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.

You can use the “Bake” function for single trays of biscuits, scones,
muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.

Cook in the lower half of your oven when you are using only one shelf.

We recommend you preheat your oven before cooking. To do this 1. set the temperature you want, 2. when the
oven indicator light goes out, put your food in the oven, close the door and set the timer.

Fan Baking

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan
circulates the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can
put your food in different places in the oven and still cook
them at the same time.

You can use the “Fan bake” function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating cooked foods, pastries and complete
oven meals.
It will cook at a lower temperature and be faster than baking.
Please note that some variation in browning is normal.

We recommend you preheat your oven before cooking. To do this 1. set the temperature you want, 2. when the
oven indicator light goes out, put your food in the oven, close the door and set the timer.

Defrosting

The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air that is
circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food before
you cook it. You can also use “Defrost” to raise
your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.

12

Rapid Heat

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as
the smaller element above the food.

This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on
standard “Bake”. To do this 1. Select the “Rapid Heat”
function and then set the desired temperature. 2. When the
indicator light goes out put your food in the oven and close the door.

3. Set the timer and select the cooking function required.
“Rapid Heat” is ideal for cooking frozen pre-cooked foods such as savoury pastries, pizzas, mini meals

(TV dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Simply place the food in the oven straight from the freezer and heat

- ideal for busy people. Cook in the upper half of the oven for best results.

Baking (Multifunction)

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the
food. The bottom element is a clean heat element and is below
the floor of the oven. Both elements are controlled by the
thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.

2

You can use the “Bake/Pizza” function for single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins,
cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.

We recommend you preheat your oven before cooking. To do this 1. Set the temperature you want,

2. When the oven indicator light goes out, put your food in the oven, close the door and set the timer.
CAUTION: Do not line the bottom of the oven with foil or damage may occur.

Do not place cookware on the bottom of the oven.

Grilling (In Oven)

The "Grill" directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element
onto the food.

You can use the “Grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages,
fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with
the oven door open or closed.

Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help
seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour.

Do not cover the grill rack with foil.

You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

IMPORTANT: Always turn your grill off immediately after use as fat left there may catch fire.

WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Children should be kept

away.

UNDERSTANDING THE FUNCTIONS (Continued)

Grilling (Separate)

The “Grill” works by directing radiant heat which comes from the
powerful upper element onto the food. The grill function is suitable for tender cuts
of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick
cooking foods.

The grill door must be open in separate grill wall oven and closed in separate grill
underbench oven. Best results are obtained after 3 minutes preheat. This will help seal in the natural juices of
steak, chops etc. for a better flavour.

Do not cover the grill rack with foil.

The full width grill dish fitted to this separate grill can be used in any of the 3 height positions provided by the
grill dish side supports.

IMPORTANT: Always turn the grill off immediately after use as fat left there may catch fire.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Children should be kept away.

Fan Grilling

“Fan Grill” offers you the benefits of both “Bake” and traditional “Grill”

functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain the set temperature
while the fan circulates the heated air. The oven door remains closed
for fan grill. On 911 & 912 models both the larger and smaller grill elements operate.

You can use “Fan Grill” for large cuts of meat, which gives you a result that is similar
to “Rotisserie” cooked meat.

Put your food on a shelf in the second lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf position to
catch any spills. Set the thermostat to 180°C for all grilling functions.

When using “Fan Grill” it is not necessary to turn the food over during the cooking cycle.

Maxi Grill

“Maxi Grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto
the food. You can use the “Maxi Grill” function for tender cuts of meat,
steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods.
Grill with the oven door closed.

“Maxi Grill” allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook
faster than normal “Grill”. For best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for 3 minutes. This will help
seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour.
You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Base Heat (Multifunction)

Heat comes from the element below the food. The element is controlled
by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.

The “Base Heat” function can be used to add extra browning to the
bases
of pizzas, pies and pastries.

Cook in the lower half of your oven when you are using only one shelf.
We recommend you preheat your oven before cooking. To do this 1. Set the temperature you want, 2. When the

oven indicator light goes out, put your food in the oven, close the door and set the timer.
CAUTION: Do not line the bottom of the oven with foil or damage may occur.

Do not place cookware on the bottom of the oven.

16

USING THE OVEN

Cooling/Venting Fan

There is a cooling/venting fan in all built-in ovens. It will come on whenever you are using your oven and
blow warm air out above the door.

Condensation

Condensation may fog the oven door when you are cooking large quantities of food from a cold start. You
can minimise condensation by:

• keeping the amount of water used in cooking to a minimum;

• making sure that the oven door is firmly closed;

• baking custard in a baking dish which is just a little smaller than the water container;

• cooking casseroles with a lid.
Note: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to steam and may condense outside the oven. This

is not a problem or a fault.

Loading the Shelves (Fan Forced Ovens)

• The oven has five positions for shelves. These
are numbered from the lowest to the highest
(see diagram).

• You can make the most of the oven, if you
cook more than one tray of food at a time,
eg two trays of scones, small cakes or sausage
rolls.

• When placing shelves, it is important to give
the maximum space above and below. Load
shelves in this way:
– when baking with one shelf, place it at

shelf position 2,3 or 4.

– when cooking with two shelves, place them

at shelf positions 2 and 4.

shelf position 5

shelf position 4

shelf position 3

shelf position 2

shelf position 1

2

Hints for better baking

• Always pre-heat the oven.

• Individual ovens and thermostats vary. It may be necessary to adjust the temperature setting by
10°-20° to achieve the desired result.

• Select the correct shelf position for the food.

• Make sure dishes fit into the oven before switching it on.

• Keep the edges of the baking dishes at least 40mm from the side of the oven.
This provides better circulation of air and better cooking.

• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.

• Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with other foods. This will cause
food to steam and not brown.

• After the oven is turned off it retains heat. Use this heat to cook custards or to dry bread.

• Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. Too much oil will splatter the sides of the
oven.

• Use brightly finished aluminium or non-stick cooking pans for sponges and cakes.

17

2

USING THE GRILL

What is Grilling?

• The grill directs heat from the electric element in the grill
compartment onto the food (see diagram opposite).

• This way of cooking traps the juices inside the food and increases
the flavour.

• Grilling is suitable for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops,
sausages, fish and other foods which cook quickly.

Using the Grill

1. Choose only good cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick, it will dry out while grilling. If the

cut is more than 40mm thick, it may burn on the outside and remain uncooked on the inside.

2. Bring the food to room temperature before you grill it. Food straight from the regrigerator will steam under

the grill.

3. Check these cooking times for each side. Remember these are just a guide and the time taken to cook food

will depend on the size of the food and how much you like it cooked.

Steak 7 – 10 minutes each side
Chops 10 – 15 minutes each side
Fish 4 – 5 minutes each side
Bacon 2 – 3 minutes each side

4. Remove the full width grill dish and grill insert.

5. Preheat the grill for 3 – 5 minutes.

6. Set the height of the grill insert.

• The grill insert can be used on both sides to provide two different grill heights.

• Thinner pieces of food should be nearer the element and thicker pieces should be 10mm away.

7. Brush the grill insert with oil to stop the food from sticking.

8. Put food on grill insert and put under the grill.

9. Baste the food with oil, butter or marinade, while it is cooking.

10.Use tongs to turn the food as a fork will let juices escape.

18

Hints for better grilling

Read this table which gives you advice about cooking different types of meat.

Beef • Use tenderloin, rump or sirloin.

• Brush with oil or melted butter, especially if the meat is lean.

Lamb • Use loin chops, chortloin chops, chump chops or forequarter chops.

• Remove skin or cut to stop curling.

• Brush with oil or melted butter.

Sausages • Prick sausages to stop skins from bursting.
Poultry • Divide into serving pieces and brush with oil.
Fish • Brush with oil or melted butter and lemon juice.
Bacon • Remove rind.

• Grill flat and make into rolls.

Safety warnings about the grill

2

• Do not cook food on the bottom of the grill compartment. Always use the grill dish and

smokeless grill.

• Do not place foil under the food on the insert, as this prevents fats and oils running away

and may cause a fire.

• Always use the grill parts according to instructions.

• Do not put thick pieces of food too near the element. They may curl and catch fire.

• Always turn the grill off immediately after cooking. Left-over fat may cause a fire.

• Always clean the grill dish and insert after use. This will prevent fat building up and causing
a fire.

• Do not let children play with the grill.

• Do not children use the grill, if you are not with them.

• Stay in the kitchen when the grill is on.

• Be careful not to touch hot surfaces.

• Do not spray aerosols near the grill, when it is turned on.

• Do not keep flammable materials in or near the grill, eg chemicals, aerosols, etc.

CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR OVEN

IMPORTANT: Always make sure that your oven is turned off before you clean it.
Do not use steam cleaners.

Enamel

• Rub persistent stains vigorously with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Note: You can also use
household oven enamel cleaners - follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes.

Stainless Steel

All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or become greasy. You must clean these areas regularly by
following the procedures below if you want your oven to look its best, perform well and have a long life.

Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel edges…they can be sharp!

• Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water.

• If you want a better look, clean your appliance with a suitable stainless steel cleaner then wipe with a soft
lint free cloth.
A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux Service or Spares.

Note: Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the steel.

Grill

Always keep the grill dish clean as any fat left in it may catch fire.

Cleaning The Oven

Removing the Oven and Grill Door

Follow these steps to better access the oven for cleaning:

• Open door fully.

• Rotate the two stirrups forwards so that they are engaged onto the
hooks on the hinge arms.

• Hold the stirrups in place and slightly close the door. The stirrups will
now remain engaged.

• Close the door half way and lift it away from the oven.

• Do not lift the door by the handle, use one hand either side of
the door, keeping fingers clear of the hinge arms.

To Replace the Door

• Relocate both hinge arms at the same time into the front housing.

• Ensure that the location notches on the bottom of the hinge arms are positioned onto the lower cutout lip.

• Close the door partially to ensure that the location notch drops into place.

• When the hinges are located, open the door fully and ensure the stirrups are disengaged.

Note: Never use force and always ensure that the location notch is correctly engaged before you operate the
door.

IMPORTANT: Never lift or carry the door by the handle. Do not immerse the door in water.

CATALYTIC SELF CLEAN PANELS

Catalytic Self Clean Panels are available as an optional accessory.

Operation

Catalytic self clean panels are coated with a specially formulated enamel coating, over a base of
regular enamel. This enamel coating has a rough surface which is also porous. During normal cooking,
fats and other food spatter is partially absorbed into the surface and then oxidises away.

This oxidisation of the fat works best if the oven is set at high temperatures. Users will find that if
they do a lot of lower temperature baking, say around the normal 180°C, then the cleaning process
may not be complete. Every now and then the user should turn the oven on to 260°C for around one
hour to completely remove the soil.

Cleaning

Should the panels become heavily soiled, they will need to be taken out of the oven and cleaned
by hand. They should be soaked in warm, soapy water for at least 2 hours and then wiped clean with
a soft cloth. Solid cleaning powders, creamy cleansers, caustic oven cleaners, steel wool or other
scourers will ruin the catalytic surface and must NEVER BE USED.

Removing the catalytic liners

• Grasp the shelf supports at the front.

• Pull them inwards.

• Separate the catalytic liners from the shelf
supports.

26

Installing the catalytic liners

• Align the shelf support to the catalytic liner by
aligning the rails with the corresponding holes.

• Ensure the catalytic surface is facing the shelf
support.

• Clip the shelf support to the catalytic liner.

• Fit the liner and shelf support assembly to the
oven inserting the rear hook to the rear hole in
the oven. Then locate the front peg into the front
hole and push in firmly.

• A Catalytic liner kit can be ordered under Part
No. CKCLK1.

INSTALLATION

Please follow the points below when installing your appliance:
USE AN AUTHORISED PERSON

As stated in the local municipal building codes and other relevant statutory regulations.

• Wiring connections must be in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules and any particular conditions
of the local authority.

• Refer to data plate for rating information and circuit diagram. The data plate is positioned behind the
bottom of the oven door. The circuit diagram is positioned on the top panel of the appliance.

• A functional switch must be provided near the appliance in an accessible position.
Refer to AS/NZS 3000 clause 4.3.11

• Wiring must be protected against mechanical failure. Refer to AS/NZS 3000 clause 3.9

• A means of disconnection with a contact separation of at least 3mm must be supplied in the fixed wiring.

• To gain access to the mains connection terminals, remove the top panel by unscrewing the 2 assembly
screws.

Note: Where connection is made to a multi-phase 240V supply, the bridge piece must be removed from
between the active connections.

IMPORTANT: This appliance must be properly earthed.

• Do not lift the appliance by the door handles.

• Prepare the cupboard opening to match your appliance measurements. (See diagrams).

• Slide appliance into the cupboard, ensuring that the supply cable (where fitted) does not kink.

• To prevent tipping, use the screws supplied to secure your oven into the cupboard by fastening through
the 2 holes (underbench) or 4 holes (separate grill) to the front panel.

• For appliances fitted with a supply flexible cord, if the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The plug

must be accessible after installation.

• Where the appliance is built into a cabinet, the cabinet material must be capable of withstanding 85°C.
Installation into low temperature tolerant cabinetry (e.g. vinyl coated) may result in deterioration of the
low temperature coating by discolouring or bubbling.

• If the appliance is installed adjacent to vinyl-wrapped surfaces, use an installation kit available from
the vinyl-wrap supplier.

• Electrolux Home Products cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by installation into low
temperature tolerant cabinets.

• After installation, test and ensure that the appliance operates correctly before handing it over to the
customer.

IMPORTANT: Before you cook in your new oven:

• Make sure that the room is well ventilated (to allow smoke to escape).

• It may take several hours to totally eliminate the smell of the adhesive used in the insulation. It is best
to initially operate the oven with windows and doors open for 4-8 hours.

CAUTION: To avoid any potential hazard, you must follow our instructions below when you install
your appliance. Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability
claims and lead to prosecution.

Cabinet Construction for your appliance

For the best integration within a kitchen, install this appliance in a standard 600mm wide cupboard that
gives a flush fit with the surrounding cupboard fronts (figure A).
A recess of 21 mm is ideal. It can also be installed using a proud fit with the surrounding cupboard
(figure B).

Note: Your appliance must be mounted on a flat surface for the full width and depth of the product.

PREPARING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Please remove all stickers and leaflets from the floor of the oven before operation.

Please wipe out the oven interior prior to operation with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft clean
cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven is completely dry.

New appliances have a smell during first use. It is recommended to operate the oven empty at a temperature
of 180°C for approximately 4 - 8 hours to eliminate the smell of the adhesive used in the insulation. Please
ensure the room is well ventilated during this process.

If your appliance is fitted with a 2-hour “Auto Off” timer, make sure it is set to the ‘Off’ marker for manual
operation.

If your appliance is fitted with a 3 button electronic timer you must set the time before the oven
will operate. (see page 15)
