The cooling fan

The cooling fan is designed to cool the 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.

Function symbols

Fan Cooking - This setting allows

you to roast or roast and bake simultaneously using any shelf, without flavour transference. Pre-set temperature: 175 °C

Conventional Cooking - The heat comes from both the top and bottom element, ensuring even heating inside the oven. Pre-set temperature: 200 °C

Inner Grill - can be used for grilling small quantities. Pre-set temperature: 250 °C

Thermal Grilling - This function offers an alternative method of cooking food items, normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. Preset temperature: 180 °C

Select a maximum temperature of 200°C.

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. Pre-set temperature: 175 °C

Full Grill - The full grill element will be on. Recommended for large quantities. Pre-set temperature: 250 °C

Bottom Heat - The heat comes from the bottom of the oven only, to allow you to finish your dishes. Pre-set temperature: 250 °C

Top Heat - The heat comes from the

top of the oven only, to allow you to finish your dishes. Pre-set temperature: 250 °C

Defrosting – The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. 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.

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.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Telescopic Shelf Supports

Important: Telescopic shelf supports and other accessories get very hot! Use oven gloves or similar!

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

Shelf levels 1, 2 and 4 are fitted with telescopic shelf supports, to allow en easier operation when inserting or removing the shelves.

Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf supports completely out.

Place the shelf or the grill pan on the telescopic shelf supports, then gently push them all inside the oven (see diagram).

°C

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.

electrolux 15

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. Press the Oven Function Control button and select the “Fan Cooking” function .

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

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.

Top Heat

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

etc.

16 electrolux

Bottom Heat

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.

How to use the Inner Grill

1. Switch the oven ON.

2. Select the Inner Grill Element 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 alternately, 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.

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

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.

How to use the Pizza Oven

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

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 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.
