Warnings and Important Safety Information

Always keep these user instructions with the appliance. Should the appliance be passed on
to third persons or sold, or if you leave this appliance behind when you move house, it is
very important that the new user has access to these user instructions and the accompanying
information.
These warnings are provided for the safety of the users and those living with them. So read
them carefully before connecting and/or using the appliance.

Installation

• The installation must be performed by a

qualified person in accordance with the rules
and regulations in force. The individual op­erations for installing the appliance are de­scribed under the instructions for the installer.

• Have the appliance installed and connected

by a qualified person with specialist knowl­edge, who will carry it out in accordance
with the directives.

• If any modifications to the power supply are

required because of the installation, these
should also be carried out by a qualified
electrician.

Operation

• This oven is designed for cooking foodstuffs;

never use it for other purposes.

• When opening the oven door during or at
the end of cooking be careful of the stream
of hot air, which comes out of the oven.

• Be very careful when using the cooker. Th e

extreme heat of the heating elements makes
the shelves and other parts very hot.

• If you should for whatever reason use alu-

minium foil to cook food in the oven, never
allow it to come into direct contact with the
floor of the oven.

• When cleaning the oven, proceed with care:

never spray anything onto the grease filter
(if fitted), the heating elements and the ther­mostat sensor.

• During the baking, roasting and grilling pro-

cess, the oven window and the other parts
of the appliance get hot, so children should
be kept away from the appliance. T ake care,
if connecting electrical appliances to sock­ets near the oven, that cables do not come
into contact with hot rings or get caught in
the oven door.

• Always use oven gloves to take hot oven-

proof dishes or pots out of the oven.

• Regular cleaning prevents the surface ma-

terial from deteriorating.

• Before cleaning the oven, either turn the

power off or pull the mains plug out.

• Make sure that the oven is in the “ OFF”

position, when the oven is no longer being
used.

• This oven (even if it is linked to an electrical

cooking table) is made to function at 230 V
mono, double or three-phase with neutral.

• A polyphase linking without neutral (400

V)can induce the distruction of the oven and
of the eventual cooking table.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp metal

scrapers. These can scratch the glass in the
oven door , which may result in the shattering
of the glass.

• The appliance must not be cleaned with a

superheated steam cleaner or a steam jet
cleaner.

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 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.

T o 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.

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.

50

- 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..

electrolux 51

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. T o 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.

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

51

52 electrolux

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.
Y ou 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.
T o reduce the build up of smoke in the oven, it is
recommended to pour a little water in the roasting
pan. T o prevent condensation forming, add water
several times. The plates can be kept warm in the
oven at minimum temperature until serving.

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.

52

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.

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

electrolux 55

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.

T o 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.

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.

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.

Instructions for the Installer

The instructions given below are designed
specifically for a qualified installer and
should aid him or her to perform all
installation, adjustment, and maintenance
operations with absolute precision and in
compliance with all current legislation and
regulations. We strongly recommend that
all operations for the installation of your
cooker be carryed out by Qualified
Personnel in accordance with existing
rules and regulations.

Electrical connection

Prior to making the electrical connection, make sure
that:

- the protection fuse and the domestic wiring system
are suitable to carry the total electric load of the
oven (see rating plate);

- your domestic wiring system has an efficient earth
connection in compliance with rules and laws in
force;

- the wall socket or the omnipole switch used for the
electrical connection can easily be reached after
the oven is built in.

This appliance is delivered without an electric
supply cable, therefore, you will have to fit to it a
supply cable with standard plug, suitable for the
total electric load shown on the rating plate. The
plug is to be inserted into a suitable wall socket. If
you require a direct connection to the electric
network (mains), it will be necessary to fit between
the appliance and the mains an omnipole switch,
with a minimum gap between contacts of 3 mm,
suitable for the required load and in compliance
with rules in force. The green & yellow ground
wire must not be interrupted by the switch, and
should be 2-3 cm longer than the phase and
neutral wires. The supply cable must in all cases
be laid out in such a way as to ensure that it does
not reach at any given point a temperature 50°C

electrolux 61

higher than the ambient temperature.
Suitable power supply cables are the following
types, considering the respective necessary
section of cable: H07 RN-F , H05 RN-F, H05 RR­F, H05 VV-F, H05 V2V2-F (T90), H05 BB-F.

Connecting the terminal board

The appliance incorporates an easily accessible
6-pole terminal board whose jumpers (bridges)
are already pre-set for operation on 400 V
tri-phase with neutral wire (Fig. A). In case a
different mains voltage is present, the jumpers on
the terminal board must be rearranged as shown
in the diagram (Fig. B). The ground cable must be

connected to terminal . After connecting the
supply cable to the terminal board, secure it with a

junction clamp.

Electrical connection with the hob

This oven can be connected to hobs indicated in
the paragraph "Technical data". The socket for
connecting the hob is located at the top of the oven
cabinet. The hobs come complete with connecting
leads for the hot plates/heat areas and ground
cable; these leads feature plug-in connectors.
Connection of the hob to the oven is carried out by
plugging-in these connectors to the corresponding
oven socket.
The plug-to-socket connection design is such as
to prevent possible wrong plugging-ins.

The Manufacturer disclaims any
liability in case these
accident-preventing rules are not
observed.
