USE OF APPLIANCE
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.
1. Remove the oven accessories.
2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective
films, if there are any.
3. Heat the oven the corresponding knob on
position “250” for about 45 min.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Clean the accessorie(s) with a soft detergent.

During cooking in the oven the oven
door is hot. Take care that children do
not play near it.
The electric oven is equipped with 3 heating
elements:
-2 heating elements (top and bottom) for
using the oven with closed door (pastry,
beaten mixture cakes in moulds)
-1 heating grill element, placed in the middle of
top for grilling with door half opened (roast
meat, frying etc.)

Grilling
Acessible parts of the appliance may
become hot when the grill is in use. Take
care that children do not play near it.
The grill is used for grilling all kind of meat (pork,
beef …) which remain tender, toasts or frying
dishes already cooked.
If you use the grid slide under it, on the lowest
shelf the dripping pan to collect the juice and fat.
Grilling
•Prepare the meat to be grilled, lightly brush it
with oil on both sides.
•Place it on the grill.
•Fix the protective screen.
•Turn the oven knob to the grill position .
•Slide the dripping pan in the guide 1.
•Slide the pan support grid in the guide 2 or 3
depending on the thickness of the meat to be
grilled.
•Use guide 3 for the thin pieces to be roasted
(toasts, pork bacon, sausage, small fish…)
•Use guide 2 for thick pieces to be roasted
(beef bacon, large fish, poultry).
•When the first side is brown, turn the meat
without pricking it in order that the juices are
not lost.
•Grill the second side.
•Salt when ending the cooking.
Cooking time has to determined by the
thickness of the piece to be roasted not by its
weight.
Browning
•Fix the protective screen.
•Turn the oven knob to the grill position .
•Place the dish on the grid and slide it in the
guide 2 or 3.
Leave the dish under the radiation of the grill for
a few minutes.

Hints and Tips
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,
always 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.
Cookware
Use any ovenproof cookware, which will
withstand temperatures of 2500C.
Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly on the oven base.
Oven Cooking
•Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end
of cooking time, and use residual heat to
complete the cooking.
•The thickness, the material and the colour
of the pan will influence the cooking
results.
•When cooking, certain dishes increase in
volume, ensure the pan is large enough.
•To prevent fat dripping when roasting use
tall rim pans proportional to the item being
roasted.
•Prick the skin of poultry and sausages with
a fork before cooking to avoid spitting.
•Use heatproof glass dishes for soufflés.
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 base browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodised aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and
coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils
increase cooking and base browning.
Removable drawer
The removable drawer is located underneath
the oven cavity.
During cooking the drawer may
become hot if the oven is in use for a long
period of time. 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.
•Catch the drawer from bottom and pull it out.
•To remove the drawer , pull it out till the
stop, than lift it slowly and pull it out
completely.
Reassemble the drawer following the same
procedure in reverse.

Electric hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The conrol knob is numbered 0 - 6
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum
Knobs of the hob elements can be turned both
clockwise and anti clockwise directions.
In order to switch the hob element turn the
corresponding knob to the "0" position.
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 rhen 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
performance of the hotplate.
It is important to note that the plate may
smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a few minutes.
Cooker operation pilot light (Red indicator lamp)
This light will illuminate when one of the
hotplates knobs is turned on and remains lit
while the hotplates are in use.
Do not put anything on the hob that is
liable to melt.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates
are given in the following table:
OFF 0
Very Gentle 1To keep food warm
To melt butter and chocolate
Gentle 2To prepare cream-sauces,
stews and milk puddings or to
fry eggs
Slow 3Dried vegetables, frozen food,
fruit, boiling water or milk
Medium 4Boiled potatoes, fresh
vegetables, pâtés, soups,
broths, pancakes or fish
High 5Larger stews, meat roll, fish,
omelettes, steaks
Fast 6Steaks, escalopes and frying
Hints and Tips

9
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have
several characteristics:
•They should be fairty heavy duty.
•They should fit the heat area exactly, or be
slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
•They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the plate. This is particularty
important when using pans for high temperature
frying presure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling,turn the plate control
knob so that it will barely keep the liqiud simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before
you finish coking, and the final stage wil be
completed on the accumulated heat.
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 ext 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.
If the control knobs become difficult to
turn, please contact your local Electrolux
Service Centre.
