Hints and Ti s
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have
several characteristics:
lThey should be fairly heavy duty
lThey should fit the heat area exactly, or be
slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER
smaller.
lThey should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the plate.
This is particularly important when using pans
for high temperature frying or pressure
cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the
plate control knob so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before
you finish cooking, and the final stage will be
completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly,
stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans
cook at lower temperature which is more
economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid
liquids being split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot
electric plate. Always point pan handles
inward or over the work surface next to the
hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a
pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
f the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Electrolux
Service Centre.
Electric Hot lates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered - 6
- OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates
We recommend the plates are switched to
maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate,
and then adjusted to the required setting.
Rapid Hotplate (Front right)
The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will
heat up more quickly than a normal plate.
Over a period of time the red spot may
disappear, this will not affect the perfor-
mance of the hotplate.
It is important to note that the plate may
smoke a little and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a few minutes.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates
are given in the following table.

Before the First Use of the Oven
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated
without food. During this time, an unpleasant
odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.
F1. Set the oven function control knob to
MAX.
2. Open a window for ventilation.
3. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-1 minutes.

Using the Oven
 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, and is
supplied with one shelf.
The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
It is important that the shelf is correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
 Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
 Additional shelves are available from your
local Service Force Centre.
Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will
withstand temperatures of 25 °C.
 Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be
placed directly against the grid covering the
fan at the back of the oven, or placed on the
oven base.
 Do not use baking trays larger than 3 cm x
35 cm (12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect performan-
ce.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents
allow some of this steam to escape. However,
alwa s stand back from the oven when
opening the oven door to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool
surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it
will condense and produce water droplets. This
is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Hints and Ti s
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness,
conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way
they transmit heat to the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware
and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
underneath browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and
coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils
increase cooking and underneath browning.
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the
oven cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may
become hot if the oven is on high for a
long period of time, therefore flammable
materials such as oven gloves, tea towels,
plastic aprons etc. should not be stored in
the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets,
will also become hot, therefore care
should be taken when removing these
items from the drawer whilst the oven is in
use or still hot.

Using the Conventional Oven
How to Use the
Conventional Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the
required temperature.
THINGS TO NOTE
l The thermostat control light will remain on
until the correct temperature is reached. It will
then cycle on and off to show that temperatu-
re is being maintained.
To oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked
dishes, eg; lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower
cheese etc.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-
baking pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be
used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the
base pastry is cooked through.
Hints and Ti s
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.
Single level cooking gives best results.

Grilling
Grilling must be carried out with the
oven door closed. he grill pan
handle must be removed from the
pan.
How to Use the Grill
1. Turn the oven control function knob to .
2. 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 for a few minutes before
sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the shelf as
necessary, during cooking.
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air 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.

Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNEC the cooker from the
electricity supply.
The Hob To
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use
of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as
Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
The Hot lates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed
using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or
plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as
new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from
most hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by
HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's
instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive
oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important
to note that the plate will smoke a little and pro-
duce a slightly unpleasant odour when next
used.
Drying
Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates
thoroughly by switching on to a low-medium
setting for a few minutes.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Restoring
To maintain the appearance of your sealed
hotplates apply a little salt-free vegetable oil or
restorative agent (i.e. "Collo Electrol", or Minky
Hotplate Cleaning Cloths) periodically.
To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 3 seconds then turn off.
Pour a very small amount of salt-free oil onto a
dry cloth or kitchen paper. Apply a thin coat of oil
to the hotplate surface and wipe off any excess.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1
minute.
To apply restorative agent: first heat the hotplate
on a medium setting for 3 seconds then turn
off. Apply a very thin coating of Collo Electrol
(using the applicator). Heat the hotplate on a high
setting for 2-3 minutes to cure. Some smoke will
occur, this is normal and nontoxic. (NB: this
product is a resorative agent not a cleanser. It is
available from hardware stores).
Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill
rings may become straw coloured with use. Use
a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove
this straw discolouration. This also applies to the
area around the hotplates on stainless steel
hobs.

13
Oven Cavity
The enamelled 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.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy
water and remove stubborn marks with a well
wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and
dry with a soft cloth.
Before cleaning always allow the cooling
fan to cool the oven down before
switching off at the electricity supply.
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.
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.
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 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
 mpregnated 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, or Bar
Keepers Friend is used.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the
glass panels are warm. f this
precaution is not observed the glass
panel may shatter.
f 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.

This cooker is designed to be connected to a
23 -24 V 5 Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity
supply voltage is the same as that indicated on
the hob rating plate. The rating plate is located on
the bottom of the hob. A copy is attached on the

which is marked with the letter "L".
4) Connect the black (neutral) wire to the
terminal which is marked with the letter
"N".
5) After fitting a green or yellow/green sleeve
over the bare copper wire (earth wire),
connect the exposed end to the terminal
which is marked with the earth symbol
or with the letter "E"coloured green and
yellow.
NOTE: The earth wire should be about 2 cm.
longer than the live and neutral wires.
6) Secure the cable by means of the clamp
screws and refit the back protective
screen.
The cooker should be connected to a double
pole switch with a minimum gap of 3 mm.
between the switch contacts and of a type
suitable for the required load in compliance with
the current electric regulations. The switch
should be sited within 2m of the hob and be
easily accessible upon completion of the
installation.

earth cable at any point.

does not come into contact with
surfaces with temperatures higher
than 50 deg. C.
