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 cooling fan is designed to cool the oven and the
control panel. The fan switches on automatically after
a few minutes of cooking. Warm air is blown out
through the aperture near the oven door handle.
When the oven is switched off, the fan may run on
after the oven is switched off to keep the controls
cool. This is quite normal.

The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the oven has been used and at
what temperature. It may not switch in at all
at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a
short time.

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.

electrolux 19

Fan cooking

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
cooking chart. 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 shelf
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. Switch the oven ON.

2. Select the Fan Cooking Oven Function by

pressing the Oven Function control button

until the symbol appears on the display.

3. If necessary, press “ “ or “ “ buttons. to
adjust the temperature setting.

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. Switch the oven ON.

2. Select the Conventional Oven Function by

pressing the Oven Function control button

until the symbol appears in the display.

3. If necessary, press “ “ or “ “ buttons. to
adjust the temperature setting.

Top heating element only

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

etc.

19

20 electrolux

Bottom heating 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.

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. Switch the oven ON.

2. Select the Full Grill function by pressing the Oven

Function control button until the symbol
appears in the display.

3. If necessary adjust temperature setting using the
“ “ or “ “ buttons.

4. 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

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. Switch the oven ON.

2. Select the Inner Grill function by pressing the

Oven Function control button until the symbol

appears on the display.

3. If necessary adjust temperature setting using the
“ “ or “ “ buttons.

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

How to Use the Thermal Grill

Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of
cooking food items normally associated with
conventional grilling. The grill element and the
oven fan operate at the same time, circulating hot
air around the food. The need to check and turn
the food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to
minimise cooking smells in the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you
can thermally grill all the foods you would normally
cook under a conventional grill. Cooking is more
gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer
to cook with thermal grilling compared with
conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that
larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.

1. Switch the oven ON.

2. Select the Thermal Grill Oven Function by

pressing the Oven Function control button

until the symbol appears on the display.

3. If necessary, press “ “ or “ “ buttons. to
adjust the temperature setting.

When using Thermal Grill, do not
select temperatures over 200°C.

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

20

electrolux 21

Pizza Oven

The bottom element provides direct heat to the
base of pizzas, quiches or pies, while the fan
ensures air is circulated to cook the pizza toppings
or pie fillings.
To obtain the best results use the lower shelf
levels.

1. Switch the oven ON.

2. Select the Pizza Oven Function by pressing

the Oven Function control button until the

symbol appears on the display.

3. If necessary, press “ “ or “ “ buttons to
adjust the temperature setting.

Defrosting

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 defrosting delicate food
which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled
gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other
yeast products.
How to Use Defrosting

1. Switch the oven on by pressing button .

2. Select the Defrosting Oven Function by pressing

the Oven Function control button until the

symbol appears in the display.

3. The display will show the indication “def”.

• 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
layerwhen 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.

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 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

21

22 electrolux

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

This appliance cannot be cleaned with
steam or with a steam cleaning
machine.

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.

Important: Before carrying out any cleaning

operation, the appliance must be disconnected from
the power supply.

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 mild 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 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.

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.

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.

DO NOT attempt to clean catalytic liners.

26

Care of Catalytic Liners

As cooking produces oil, fats, splashes of food,
etc., catalytic enamel destroys them. To aid this
process it is a good idea to run the oven for an hour
or two per week, without food, to ensure continued
good performance from the Catalytic liners.

To clean the oven cavity, proceed as follows:

1. remove the oven accessories, if present (e.g.
pans, grids, baking tray, dripping pan, etc.).
Do not leave anything inside the oven.

2. Turn the oven function control knob to the

coventional cooking function .

3. Turn the thermostat control to 250°C.

4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes.

5. Open a window for ventilation.

This procedure should be repeated with the full

grill cooking function for approximately 5
minutes.

If the oven cavity is cold, let the oven run for 60
minutes.

Do not attempt to clean catalytic
enamel.

Hints and Tips

electrolux 27

Cooking to reduce soilage

Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase soilage.
Try cooking to lower temperatures for an increased
length of time, you will save energy and often the
joint is more tender.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat; potatoes only require brushing with fat before
cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will
increase splashing and soilage. It is NOT necessary
to add water to the meat tin when roasting. The
water and the fat juices from the joint create excessive
splattering during cooking, even at normal
temperatures, as well as causing condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces; removing the
covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra
browning, if required. Some large joints and turkeys
especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing
the joint to cook through before the outside is
overbrowned.
Do use the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat from
the joint will be contained beneath the trivet and
therefore prevent it from splattering onto the 'Catalytic'
liner.

• Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not
recommended. Damage will occur if soap
impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol cleaners
and any other abrasives are used.

• Slight discolouration and polishing of the Catalytic
surface may occur in time. This does not affect
the Catalytic properties in any way.

• Follow the recommendations in “Cooking to
reduce soilage”.

27

28 electrolux

Shelf Supports and Catalytic Panels

The shelf supports and the catalytic panels can
be removed for easy cleaning.

Make sure the appliance is
completely cooled before carrying out
this operation.

Proceed as follows:

)

1) remove the front screw while keeping the shelf
support and the catalytic panel in position with
the other hand (see diagram 1);

2) keep the shelf support and the catalytic panel
in position and lift them with a hand while
disengaging the rear hook. Take off the shelf
support and the catalytic panel (see diagram

2);

3) once the cleaning is carried out, fit the shelf
support and the catalytic panel together and
mount them following the procedure in reverse.

Please, ensure the retaining nuts are secure when
refitting the shelf support and the catalytic panel.

Cleaning the Oven Door

Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend
you to remove it from the oven.

)

Proceed as follows:

1. open the oven door completely;

2. find the hinges linking the door to the oven
(Fig. A);

3. unlock and turn the small levers located on the
two hinges (Fig. B);

4. handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides,
then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is
half-closed (Fig. C);

5. gently pull the oven door off its site (Fig. C);

6. place it on a steady plan;

Clean the oven door glass with warm soapy water
and a softh cloth only. Never use harsh abrasives.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven
door, following the procedure in reverse.

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.
