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 the 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.
10
electrolux 11
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..

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 .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
temperature.
Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven.
Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the
OFF position.
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
12
or rare inside, must be roasted at a higher temperature (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.
electrolux 13
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.
