8 electrolux before using the appliance
Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is usually situated on the front
frame of the appliance and can be
seen upon opening either the main or
top oven door. Alternatively the rating
plate may also be found on the back or
top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
The rating of the appliance is given on
the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate
from the appliance as this may
invalidate the guarantee.
Preparing to use your appliance
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with
a soft cloth using hot soapy water.
Wash the furniture before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s)
and grill for 10 – 15 minutes at
maximum temperature, to burn off any
residue from their surfaces. Accessible
parts may become hotter than in
normal use. Children should be kept
away. During this period an odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to
open a window for ventilation.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents
allow some of this steam to escape.
However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) 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
appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by a
fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly
wipe away condensation and foodstuff
from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the
rear of the appliance should be
securely fixed to the wall.
Cookware
Do not use baking trays larger than
30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will
restrict the circulation of heat and may
affect performance.
Grill and oven furniture
The following items of grill and oven
furniture have been supplied with the
appliance. If you require replacements
of any of the items listed below please
contact your local service force centre.

Operation
The hob
The gas hob has different burner sizes
to suit different types of cooking.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency
only use pots and pans with flat bases
appropriate to the burner size used.
The largest pan, which you should use
on any burner, is 230mm (9") and the
smallest pan should not measure less
than 100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are
correctly fitted before using the
hob.
To light the hob burners
The hob ignition works by means of a
battery.
• Lift up the lid. You can not use the
hob when the lid is down.
• Push in and turn the control knob to
the highest setting.
• Press the ignition button
immediately.
• When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust
the setting as required.
If the ignition button is not pressed
immediately a build up of gas may
cause the flame to spread.
Things to note
If you are having any difficulty lighting a
hob burner turn all the hob controls off
and make sure the burner parts have
been replaced correctly.
To turn off any burner
• Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a dot.
If you close the lid of the appliance
while any of the hotplate burners
are lit, the gas will go out. This is
because it would be dangerous if
the burners stayed on when the lid
was closed.
Always use the control knob to turn
off a burner. Do not use the lid as a
cut-off device. This will only cut off
the gas when the lid is closed. The
gas will flow again when the lid is
opened.
When lighting any burner, ensure
that it is lit before you leave the
appliance.
When turning off any burner,
ensure the flame has gone out
before leaving the appliance.

Place pans on the centre of the
burners. Position pans so the
handles cannot be accidentally
knocked or overhang the
appliance. Lift pans on and off the
pan supports. Do not slide them
across the hob.
Take care to avoid burns and
scalds when reaching across the
hotplate.
Take extra care when deep fat
frying, do not cover the pan with a
lid. Do not leave a pan unattended.
If the pan catches fire, leave it
where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid
over the pan to smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire. Leave
to cool for 30 minutes.
Do not use the lid as a work
surface or chopping board. This
could damage the glass and
reduce it’s strength.
To fit the top oven shelf
Only use the shelf with the large solid
metal plate at the rear of the shelf in the
top oven.
The shelf should be fitted with the
straight rods uppermost on the frame
and the forms towards the back of the
oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be
affected.
The grill
Accessible parts may be hot when
the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
When you first operate the grill you may
hear some sounds as the burner heats
up, this is quite normal and is not a
fault on the appliance.
Using the grill
• Fully open the door.
• Push in and turn the control knob to
the highest setting.
• Press the ignition button
immediately.
• When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust
the setting as required

The grill door must be left open
when grilling.
Things to note
• Some smoke from fat splashes may
be evident as the grill cleans itself.
• The shelf in the grill/top oven is
different from the shelves in the main
oven. Only use the shelf with the
large solid metal plate in the grill/top
oven.
Never cover the grill pan or grid
with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.
To turn off the grill
• Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a dot.
Ensure that the grill is turned off
before closing the door.
To fit the grill pan and handle
(Natural gas models)
The grill pan has a removable handle.
Attach and remove as described.
• To attach. Press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot
slightly upwards inserting the lip into
the widest part of the bracket.
• Move the handle towards the left,
lower into position and release the
button.
• To Remove. Press the button on
the handle with the thumb and pivot
the handle slightly upwards and
towards the right to remove from the
bracket.
• Release the button
Ensure the handle is properly
located.
Protect your hands when removing
the grill pan handle. Always remove
the grill pan handle during grilling.
To check the progress of the food
being grilled, the grill pan should
be withdrawn on the shelf to attend
to food during cooking.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

electrolux operation 13
To fit the grill pan and handle (LPG
gas models)
The grill pan has a removable handle.
Attach and remove as described.
• To attach. Place the wirework
under the cut out in the pan so that
the metal plate hooks over the top
of the grill pan.
• Slide the handle to the left and over
the central bump on the grill pan.
• To Remove. Slide the handle to the
right and lift the handle away from
the cut out on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is properly
located. It is not necessary to
remove the gril pan handle during
grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that
the pan is positioned centrally beneath
the grill.
The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It is designed for cooking
smaller quantities of food. Place single
dishes on the centre of the shelf
The top oven is also ideal for use as
warming compartment to warm dishes
and keep food hot. Use the top oven
when you want to warm plates. Use
the lowest setting on the top oven
temperature control.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven,
we recommend you do so for 20
minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures,
e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés
etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first. For best results
when cooking frozen or cooked chilled
ready meals always preheat the oven
first.
Using the top oven
• Open the oven door.
• Push in the control knob and turn it
to gas mark 1.
• Press the ignition button
immediately.
• When the burner has lit release the
button. There will only be small
flames at first.
• When the burner is showing large
flames, adjust the setting as
required.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

14 electrolux operation
Do not close the door until the
burner is showing large flames.
To turn the top oven off
• Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a dot.
Do not place dishes, tins and trays
directly on the oven base as it
becomes very hot and damage will
occur.
Do not place cookware and
cooking pots with rough bases e.g.
cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelf should be fitted with the
straight rods uppermost on the frame
and the forms towards the back of the
oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be
affected.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is
reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so
that the stops clear the side supports.
Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above
steps.
The main oven
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the
oven. The temperature in the middle is
the gas mark you have chosen. The
top of the oven is slightly hotter and the
lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of
the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can
make use of these heat zones when
you are cooking foods requiring
different temperatures all at the same
time.
If you are cooking more than one tray
of similar items, for example cakes or
biscuits, swap the trays during cooking
or you can remove the top tray when
the food is cooked and move the lower
tray to the higher shelf to finish
cooking.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven,
we recommend you do so for 20
minutes.
For recipes needing high
temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first.
For best results when cooking frozen
or cooked chilled ready meals always
preheat the oven first.

the off position. This is shown by a
dot.
Do not place cookware and
cooking pots with rough bases e.g.
cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.
Slow cook
The slow cook setting gives a very low
heat in the oven. It is particularly useful
when you are cooking soups, stews
and casseroles because the long slow
cooking will make cheaper, tougher
cuts of meat more tender.
Some foods such as pastry and
biscuits are not suitable for slow
cooking because the temperature is
too low. Cover all food during cooking
to prevent it from drying out. You can
uncover food for the last half hour if it is
normally served golden brown.
Using slow cook
You need to cook food at gas mark 6
for 30 minutes before you turn the oven
down to the slow cook setting. This
makes sure that the temperature of the
food gets hot enough to start the food
cooking.
• Fully open the door before lighting
the main oven.
• Push in the control knob and turn it
to gas mark 9
• When the burner has lit release the
control knob.
• There will only be small flames at
first
• Turn the main oven control knob to
gas mark 6.
• When the burner is showing large
flames place your food in the oven
and close the door.
Do not close the door until the
burner is showing large flames.
• After 30 minutes push in and turn
the main oven control to the slow
cook setting
To turn the slow cook off
• Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a dot.
