Safety Thermostat

To prevent dangerous overheating (through
incorrect use of the appliance or defective
components), the oven is fitted with a safety
thermostat, which interrupts the power supply. The
oven switches back on again automatically, when
the temperature drops.

Should the safety thermostat trigger due to incorrect
use of the appliance, it is enough to remedy the error
after the oven has cooled down; if on the other hand,
the thermostat triggers because of a defective
component, please contact Customer Service.

The cooling fan

The oven is provided with a cooling fan, meant to
keep the front panel, the knobs and the oven door
handle cool.The fan switches on automatically
when the oven is activated. Warm air is blown out
through the aperture near the oven door handle.
The fan switches off when, after cooking, the oven

function control knob is set to OFF position 0.

Before using the oven for the first time

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

Before using for the first time, the oven should be
heated up without food.

During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is absolutely normal. It is caused by
manufacturing residues.

Ensure the room is well ventilated.

Using the oven

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.

Attention! - Do not place objects on the
oven base and do not cover any part of
the oven with aluminium foil while cooking,
as this could cause a heat build-up which
would affect the baking results and damage
the oven enamel. Always place pans,
heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays
on the shelf which has been inserted in the
shelf runners.When food is heated, steam
is created, like in a kettle. When the steam
comes into contact with the glass in the
oven door, it condenses and creates water
droplets.

To reduce condensation, always preheat the
empty oven for 10 minutes.

We recommend you wipe the water droplets away
after every cooking process.

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. The shelf
positions are counted from the bottom of
the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are
correctly positioned as shown in the
diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

12

electrolux 13

Fan cooking

- The food is cooked by means of preheated air

force blown evenly round the inside of the
oven by a fan set on the rear wall of the oven
itself.

- Heat thus reaches all parts of the oven evenly

and fast and this means that you can simulta­neously cook different types of foods positioned
on the various oven shelves . Fan cooking
ensures rapid elimination of moisture and the
dryer oven environment stops the different
aromas and flavours from being transmitted
from one food to another.

- The possibility of cooking on several shelf

heights means that you can cook several differ­ent dishes at the same time and up to three tins
of biscuits and mini pizzas to be eaten
immediately or subsequently deep frozen.

- Naturally the oven can also be used for

cooking on just one shelf. In this case you
should use the lowest set of runners so that
you can keep an eye on progress more easily.

- In addition, the oven is particularly

recommended for sterilizing preserves,
cooking home-made fruit in syrup, and for
drying mushrooms or fruit.

Grilling -

- 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.
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.

How to use the Full Grill

1. Turn the oven control function knob on .

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the
required temperature.

3. 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 more gentle cooking.

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.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as
described for the fan oven function.

How to use the Inner Grill Element

The inner grill provides quick direct heat to the
central area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill
element for cooking small quantities, it can help to
save energy.

1. Turn the oven control function knob on .

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the
required temperature.

3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food and follow
the instructions for grilling.

The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.

During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent
overheating.

Grill - Turnspit

To use the turnspit, proceed as follows:

1. Insert the spit frame on the second gui-

!

de from the bottom, as shown in the figu­re.

2. Insert the first fork in the spit, skewer the
food to be cooked and secure it by
inserting the second fork; fix the two forks
by tightening the special screws.

3. Insert the tip of the spit in the hole of the
turnspit motor, clearly visible in the
middle of the rear wall of the oven.

4. Place the front part of the spit on the spit
frame.

5. Unscrew the grip.

6. Turn the oven function control knob to
the symbol and the thermostat knob
to the desired temperature.

It is advisable to insert the dripping pan on
the first guide from the bottom, after pouring

about two cups of water in it.

Top oven element only

This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes,
e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese

etc.

Bottom oven element only

This function is particularly useful when blind­baking pastry. It may also be used to finish off
quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked
through.

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

temperature is being maintained.

Conventional Cooking

- 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.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
quiches and flans.

Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra
top browning also cook well in the conventional
oven.
How to use the conventional oven

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

14

electrolux 15

2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
temperature.

Thermal grilling

Turn the oven function control knob to position

and regulate the thermostat to the temperature

required.
This function offers an alternative method of
cooking food items, normally associated with
conventional grilling. The grill element and the
oven fan operate alternately, circulating hot air
around the food.
When using this function, select a maximum
temperature of 200°C.

Hints and Tips

On baking:

Cakes and pastries usually require a medium
temperature (150°C-200°C) and therefore it is
necessary to preheat the oven for about 10
minutes.
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the baking
time has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a springform tin or on
a tray for up to 2/3 of the baking time and then
garnished before being fully baked. This further
baking time depends on the type and amount of
topping or filling. Sponge mixtures must separate
with difficulty from the spoon. The baking time would
be unnecessarily extended by too much liquid.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are
inserted into the oven at the same time, a shelf
level must be left free between the trays.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are
inserted into the oven at the same time, the trays
must be swapped and turned around after about
2/3 of the baking time.

On Roasting:

Do not roast joints smaller than 1 kg. Smaller pieces
could dry out when roasting. Dark meat, which is
to be well done on the outside but remain medium
or rare inside, must be roasted at a higher tem-

perature (200°C-250°C).
White meat, poultry and fish, on the other hand,
require a lower temperature (150°C-175°C). The
ingredients for a sauce or gravy should only be
added to the roasting pan right at the beginning if
the cooking time is short. Otherwise add them in
the last half hour.
You can use a spoon to test whether the meat is
cooked: if it cannot be depressed, it is cooked
through. Roast beef and fillet, which is to remain
pink inside, must be roasted at a higher tempera­ture in a shorter time.
If cooking meat directly on the oven shelf, insert
the roasting pan in the shelf level below to catch
the juices.
Leave the joint to stand for at least 15 minutes, so
that the meat juices do not run out.
To reduce the build up of smoke in the oven, it is
recommended to pour a little water in the roasting
pan. To prevent condensation forming, add water
several times. The plates can be kept warm in the
oven at minimum temperature until serving.

Caution!
Do not line the oven with aluminium
foil and do not place a roasting pan
or baking tray on the floor, as other­wise the oven enamel will be dam­aged by the heat build-up.

Cooking times

Cooking times can vary according to the different
composition, ingredients and amounts of liquid in
the individual dishes.
Note the settings of your first cooking or roasting
experiments to gain experience for later prepara­tion of the same dishes.

Based upon your own experiences you will be
able to alter the values given in the tables.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning switch the oven off
and let it cool down.

The appliance must not be cleaned
with a superheated steam cleaner or
a steam jet cleaner.

Important:

operation, the appliance must be disconnected from
the power supply.
To ensure a long life for your appliance, it is
necessary to perform the following cleaning
operations regularly:

- Only perform when the oven has cooled down.

- Clean the enamelled parts with soapy water.

- Do not use abrasive cleaners.

- Dry the stainless steel parts and glass with a

- If there are stubborn stains, use commercially

The oven’s enamel is extremely durable and highly
impermeable. The action of hot fruit acids (from
lemons, plums or similar) can however leave
permanent, dull, rough marks on the surface of the
enamel. However such marks in the brightly
polished surface of the enamel does not affect the
operation of the oven. Clean the oven thoroughly
after every use. This is the easiest way to clean
dirt off. It prevents dirt being burnt on.

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.

Before carrying out any cleaning

soft cloth.

available for stainless steel or warm vinegar.

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 liquid detergent 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 is used. Do not use
paint scrapers to remove soilage.

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
Force Centre who will be pleased to
advise further.

Oven Cavity

The enamelled base of the 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.

Grill heating element

This model has been fitted with a hinged grill ele­ment to make the roof of the oven especially easy
to clean.

Fig). When carrying out this operation for the
first time, we recommend using a screwdriver.

2) Then gently pull the grill downwards to allow
access to the oven roof (see Fig).

3) Clean the oven roof with a suitable cleaner
and wipe dry before returning the hinged grill
element to its original position.

4) Carefully push the grill element up into its origi­nal position and re-tighten the retaining nut.

Ensure the retaining nut on the grill
element is properly tightened so that
it does not fall down when in use.

Oven Shelves and Shelf Supports

and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad.
Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning.

Stainless steel or aluminium appliances:

We recommend that the oven door is only cleaned
using a wet sponge and dried after cleaning with a
soft cloth.

Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products
as they can damage the oven surface. Clean the
oven control panel following the same precautions.

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.

is cool and is isolated from the
electricity supply.

When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted
over the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in
the back panel. This will prevent a built-up of fat
on the fan impellor. Do not use abrasive materials
to clean the seal. The grease filter is dishwasher
proof.
When cooking is completed and the oven has
cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the
protruding tongue on the filter upward (see figu­re).

Declaration of guarantee terms

Belgium

Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur. Our

consumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the guarantee period.
The service life of the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a result.

This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the

provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this legislation are not
affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.

This declaration does not affect the vendor’s statutory warranty to the end user. The appliance is

guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following terms:

1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of charge any

defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is delivered to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes.

2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before the

defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become
our property.

3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention immediately.

4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase showing the

purchase and/or delivery date.

5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic),

synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.

6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or the overall reliability

of the appliance.

7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:

- a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,

- abnormal environmental conditions in general,

- unsuitable operating conditions,

- contact with harsh substances.

8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred outside of our

responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate installation or assembly,
lack of maintenance or failure to respect the assembly instructions or directions for use.

9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are not qualified or expert

or defects that result from the addition of non-original accessories or spare parts are not covered
by the guarantee.

10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer services

department. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or built-in appliances.

11. If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that removing and

replacing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half an hour, the costs that result
therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage caused by these removal and replacement
operations will be the responsibility of the user.

12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if the

repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with the consumer, the defective
appliance may be replaced with another appliance of the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated according to the
length of time it has been used.

26

electrolux 27

13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be extended nor

that a new guarantee period begins.

14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.

15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms excludes

any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the consumer wishes to assert his
rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, compensation will not exceed the purchase price
paid for the appliance.

These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For exported

appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency,
installation instructions, etc.) for the country concerned and that they can withstand the local climatic and
environmental conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the user must first ensure that they meet
the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments are not covered by the
guarantee and are not possible in all cases.

Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee period

has expired.
