10 electrolux tips on cooking and frying
Tips on Cooking and Frying
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific
knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products con-
taining starch, can constitute a
health risk due to acrylamides.
Therefore we recommend cooking
at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Cookware
•You can recognise good cookware
from the bottoms of the pans. The
bottom should be as thick and flat as
possible.
•Cookware made of enamelled steel
or with aluminium or copper bottoms
can leave discolorations on the glass
ceramic surface which are difficult or
impossible to remove.

tips on cooking and frying electrolux 11
Energy saving
Always place cookware on the
cooking zone before it is switched
on.
If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
Switch cooking zones off before the
end of the cooking time, to take ad-
vantage of residual heat.
Bottom of pans and cooking zones
should be the same size.

Installation Instructions
Safety instructions
Warning! This must be read!
The laws, ordinances, directives and
standards in force in the country of use
are to be followed (safety regulations,
proper recycling in accordance with the
regulations, etc.)
Installation may only be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
The minimum distances to other appli-
ances and units are to be observed.
Anti-shock protection must be provided
by the installation, for example drawers
may only be installed with a protective
floor directly underneath the appliance.
The cut surfaces of the worktop are to
be protected against moisture using a
suitable sealant.
The sealant seals the appliance to the
work top with no gap.
Avoid installing the appliance next to
doors and under windows. Otherwise
hot cookware may be knocked off the
rings when doors and windows are
opened.
zRisk of injury from electrical cur-
rent.
•The electrical mains terminal is live.
•Make electrical mains terminal free of
voltage.
•Follow connection schematic.
•Observe electrical safety rules.
•Ensure anti-shock protection by in-
stalling correctly.
•The appliance must be connected to
the electrical supply by a qualified
electrician.
zRisk of injury from electrical cur-
rent.
•Loose and inappropriate plug and
socket connections can make the
terminal overheat.
•Have the clamping connections cor-
rectly installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
•Use strain relief clamp on cable.
•CAUTION: The surface temperature
exceeds 95°C. To avoid a hazard,
underbench access must be restrict-
ed.
•Supply cords must have a tempera-
ture rating not less than 105°C.

18 electrolux installation instructions
Electrical Connection
Before connecting, check that the nom-
inal voltage of the appliance, that is the
voltage stated on the rating plate, corre-
sponds to the available supply voltage.
The rating plate is located on the lower
casing of the hob.
The heating element voltage is
AC230V~. The appliance also works
perfectly on networks with AC220V~ or
AC240V~.
The hob is to be connected to the mains
using a device that allows the appliance
to be disconnected from the mains at all
poles with a contact opening width of at
least 3 mm, eg. automatic line protect-
ing cut-out,earth leakage tripsorfuse.
A cable with minimum temperature rat-
ing of V90HT or one with a higher grade
must be used as the mains connecting
cable.
The connection must be carried out as
shown in the diagram. The connecting
links should be fitted according to the
appropriate connection diagram. The
earth lead is connected to terminal E.
The earth lead must be longer than
leads carrying electric current.
The cable connections must be
made in accordance with regula-
tions and the terminal screws tight-
ened securely.
Finally, the connecting cable is to be se-
cured with the mains cable cleat and the
covering closed by pressing firmly (lock
into place).
Before switching on for the first time,
any protective foil or stickers must be re-
moved from the glass ceramic surface.
Once connected to the mains sup-
ply check that all cooking zones are
ready for use by briefly switching
each on in turn at the maximum set-
ting.
Sticking on the seal
•Clean the worktop around the cut-
out area.
•Stick the single-sided adhesive seal-
ing tape provided on the underside
of the hob around the outside edge
ensuring that it is not stretched. The
two ends of the tape should join in
the middle of one side. After trim-
ming the tape (allow it to overlap by
2-3 mm), press the two ends togeth-
er.
