Operation

HOB BURNERS

To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position. At the same time
push the electric ignition button which is marked with
a little spark. Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed
down about 5 seconds, then adjust the flame as
required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.

When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal

i

for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.

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) 160 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 240 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Central (2 crown) 180 mm. 260 mm.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than

the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the
handle to overheat.

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

i

liquid simmering.

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

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

Before the First Use of the Oven

Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the oven.

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

☞

This procedure should be repeated with the fan
cooking and grill function for approximately 5-10
minutes.

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
approximately 45 minutes.

.

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, and is

i

supplied with two shelves. Level 2 and 4
from the bottom are supplied with
special telescopic shelf supports (see
next page).

The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.

• Do not place cookware directly on the
oven base.

Your oven is supplied with one normal shelf for use
on the telescopic shelf supports and one anti-tip shelf.

NORMAL SHELF

8

The anti-tip shelf has four small metal tabs on its
frame to prevent it from sliding out from the shelf
supports.

ANTI-TIP SHELF

metal tabs

Telescopic shelf supports

The oven shelf supports are provided with telescopic
shelf supports at level 2 and 4 from the bottom.

☞

1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf
supports completely out, as shown in the
diagram.

2. Place the shelf or the dripping pan on the
telescopic shelf supports, as shown in the
diagram, then gently push them all inside
the oven.

Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely
inside the oven. This could damage the door
enamel and glass.

The anti-tip shelf is not designed for use on
the telescopic shelf supports.
Please, do not use the anti-tip shelf on the
telescopic shelf supports, as it will be
unstable and may fall.

Hints and Tips

i

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the oven when opening the oven door 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 oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and
is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware

• Use any oven proof cookware which will

withstand temperatures of 250°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
underneath browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and underneath browning.

9

Using the Conventional Oven

When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a
single level and is particularly suitable for dishes
which require extra base browning such as pizzas,
quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top
browning also cook well in the conventional oven.
This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to
cook without the fan in operation.

How to Use the

☞

Conventional Oven

1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required
cooking function (

2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempe­rature.

THINGS TO NOTE

●

function control knob is set.

).

●

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

Hints and Tips

i

The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower
the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the
shelf position.

The material and finish of the baking trays and
dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base
browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less
base browning.

Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent
spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning
easier.

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will
occur.

For faster preheating use the fan oven function to
preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes
out, then swich the selector to the conventional oven
setting.

10

Single level cooking gives best results. If you

i

require more than one level cooking use the fan
oven function.

Using the Fan Oven & Defrosting function

The air inside the oven is heated by the element
around the fan situated behind the back panel. The
fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature
inside the oven.

The advantages of cooking with this function are:

✓

Faster 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.

✓ Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the
chart at page. 14. Remember to reduce
temperatures by about 20-25°C for your own
recipes which use conventional cooking.

✓ Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same
food can be cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly
quicker than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.

How to Use the Fan Oven

☞

1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempe­rature.

Hints and Tips

i

Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spread.

When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.

When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.

A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place
dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the
oven base, to allow air circulation around the food.

When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time and
removed from the oven together. When different sizes
of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes are
cooked, they will not necessarily be ready together.

The fan oven can be used to heat foods through
without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies,
sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a
temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes
(depending on the quantity of food in the oven).

The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be
prepared to adjust the temperature by 10°C if
necessary. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own conventional recipes.

When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and
can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.

THINGS TO NOTE

●

The oven light will come on when the oven
function control knob is set.

●

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

12

The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate or burner as this may cause the enamel to
crack.

How to Use Defrosting

☞

1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF
position.

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.

Hints and Tips

i

• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic
film to prevent drying out during defrosting.

• ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.

• Frozen food should be placed in a single layer
when ever possible and turned over half way
through the defrosting process.

• Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.)
are suitable for defrosting in this way.

Refer to the table at page 15 for approximate
defrosting times.

Hints and Tips

i

- 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 underneath the grid when grilling
meats

- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner

position is used.

- The food should be turned over during cooking, as

required.

The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.

Cleaning the Hob

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

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

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing 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

When washing the pan supports, take care when
drying them as the enamelling process occasionally
leaves rough edges. If necessay, remove stubborn
stains using a paste cleaner.

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning.

Wash the burners 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.

17

Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning always allow the cooling
fan to cool the oven down before switching
off at the electricity supply.

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.

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 non­stick 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.

DO NOT clean the oven door while the
glass panels are warm. If this precaution is
not observed the glass panel may shatter.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches, the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to prevent
the possibility of the panel shattering.
Contact your local Service Centre who will
be pleased to advise further.

18

Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will
be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.

If the soilage has become set, after the oven has
cooled down, the following process will help to
soften the splatters to help make cleaning easier.

1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf

☞

positioned in the lowest runner.

2. Add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the
pan and fill to about 12 mm. with boiling
water from the kettle.

3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function
knob on fan oven
knob on 50°C.

4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat
and allow the fan oven to continue without
heat for a further 5 minutes, when the
temperature of the water will have cooled
down.

5. Carefully remove the pan of water from the
oven and use normal oven cleaners to clean
away soil residues.

6. Leave a little of the soapy water to soak into
any burned on spillage on the floor of the
oven for a longer time if necessary.

and set the thermostat

Oven Shelves and Shelf Supports

To clean the oven shelves and the shelf supports, soak
in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks

Installation

IMPORTANT

This cooker must be installed by qualified
personnel to the relevant British Standards.

Any gas installation must be carried out by
a registered CORGI installer.

The manufacturer will not accept liability,
should the above instructions or any of the
other safety instructions incorporated in
this book be ignored.

Connecting to Gas

This cooker is designed to be installed with an
appliance flexible connection. Connection is made to
the RC 1/2 (1/2" B.S.P.) threaded entry pipe located
just below the hotplate level on the rear right-hand
side of the cooker.
A second entry pipe is located on the rear left-hand
side and it is locked by a security nut. Should this
second entry pipe allow a safer gas connection,
remove the security nut and the relevant gasket from
the left-hand entry pipe and place it onto the main
entry pipe, ensuring the gasket is correctly positioned
and the nut is well secured.

When the final connection has been made, it
is essential that a thorough leak test is
carried out on the cooker and installation.
Ensure that the main connection pipe does
not exert any strain on the cooker.

these instructions should be read in conjunction with
the leaflet packed with the stability bracket.

1. Place the cooker in its intended position

☞

and mark the cooker height.

2. Mark 165mm below the cooker height. This
is the position of the stability bracket.

3. Fix a large type of stability bracket (using
two of the provided five fixing holes) to
the rear wall (see the picture below).

4. Pull the cooker towards the rear wall as
shown in the diagram. The stability bracket
should then come into contact with the rear
panel of the cooker (see diagram).

Should the stability bracket currently installed not
allow the cooker to stand correctly, ask the installer
to replace it with the correct type.

Electrical connections

Any electrical work required to install this
cooker should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person, in
accordance with the current regulations.

THIS COOKER MUST BE
EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability
should these safety measures not be
observed.

This cooker is designed to be connected to
a 230-240V 50Hz AC electrical supply.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the cooker
rating plate. The rating plate is located on the oven
frame.

The cooker is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply
cord incorporating a 13amp plug fitted. In the event
of having to change the fuse, a 13amp ASTA
approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason,
the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the
cooker and the electricity supply (mains), with a
minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts
and of a type suitable for the required load in
compliance with the current electric regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth
cable at any point.

Ensure that the cooker supply cord does
not come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.
