IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,
aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials
or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks,
or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum as recommended for baking, such
as lining cookware or as a cover placed on
food. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or a short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or
steam escape before you remove or replace

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Bakeware
The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.
Material Attributes Recommendation
Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated
bakeware is the best for even heating.
It is suitable for all baked goods.
Recommended cooking temperatures
and times are based on shiny metal
bakeware.
Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny
bakeware.
Reduce the cooking temperature by
25° F (13-14° C) when using dark bake-
ware.
Glass bakeware Glass bakeware cooks hotter than
shiny bakeware.
Glass is convenient, as the same piece
of bakeware can be used for cooking,
serving, and storing food.
Reduce the cooking temperature by
25° F (13-14° C) when using glass bake-
ware.
Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than
shiny bakeware.
Insulated bakeware is designed for
baking in gas ovens.
Reduce the cooking temperature by
25° F (13-14° C) when using insulated
bakeware.

10 COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.
Condition Attributes Recommendation
Aging cookware As pans age and become
discolored, cooking times
may need to be reduced
slightly.
If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum
cook time in the recipe or packaging.
If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle
to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is
lower.
Water boils at a lower tem-
perature, and liquids evapo-
rate faster.
Foods may take longer to
bake.
Doughs may rise faster.
Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or reci-
pes as needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.
Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to
reduce evaporation.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder
in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough
and allow it to rise twice.
Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.
Result Recommendation
Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Situation Recommendation
Baking
Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Setting Oven Controls” on starting on page 14.
When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.
Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads.
Insert food immediately after the beep.
Checking food Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may re-
duce baking performance.
Bake or Convection Bake Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For best
performance, see “Convection Bake” on page 18.
Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circula-
tion.

11
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Material Recommendation
Broiling / Roasting
Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to
drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler
pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.
If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be pur-
chased from electrolux.ca.
Convection Cooking
Convection attributes Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It
browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven.
Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items
at once.
Convection bake Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the reci-
pe is written for convection baking.
Preheat the oven for best results.
Convection broil Reducing the cooking temperature for convection broil is not recommended.
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is exces-
sive, move the food farther from the broiler element.
Convection roast Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most
meats and poultry.
Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended.
Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations, adjusting
the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time.
Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also avail-
able from most grocery and home goods stores.
Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of
the oven.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from
browning properly.
When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The
broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.
If you do not have one of these accessories, they may be purchased from elec-
trolux.ca.

12 BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is
on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting
is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and
good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never
close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other
material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven
vent. This is normal.
oven vent
location
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any
other material or liners to line the oven bottom,
walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so
will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking
results, and possibly cause permanent damage to
the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self
clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough
to melt foil.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior,
oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which
can cause burns.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean
cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a
cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may
be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their
shiny finish.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not at-
tempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks
are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Single Rack Baking
Figure 10: Baking with a single rack
If you choose to use a single rack while cooking, then
Bake mode is preferred.
IMPORTANT
For this appliance, single rack baking is the recom-
mended bake function for best results for batter and
dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries,
and breads.
• For best results when baking with one oven rack,
place racks in positions 2 (Figure 9).
• When baking using one oven racks, position bake-
ware as shown in Figure 10. Allow at least 2 inches
(5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air
circulation.
NOTE
The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s also
for presentation purposes. You may also bake with
the left pan in the front and the right pan in the back.
Either position for either pan bakes correctly.
Multi-Rack Baking
If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking, then
Convection baking is preferred.
• For best results when baking cakes or cookies us-
ing two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and
4 (Figure 9) and place pans as shown in Figure 11.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation
IMPORTANT
When baking using two oven racks, the pans on
each rack must be swapped half way through the
cook time for best results.
Figure 11: Baking with multiple levels & racks
General Baking Tips:
• Preheat the oven 8-10 minutes before baking items
like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of
foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven
temperature or cook time to prevent over brown-
ing of some foods. Dark pans are recommended
for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,
cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the
door will reduce the temperature in the oven.
• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May
require reducing oven temperature

18 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven’s
heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Fig-
ure 12).
This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even
baking and browning results. It also gives better baking
results when using two oven racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing
in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan will bake
faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
Multiple rack baking may slightly increase bake time
for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Benefits of Convection Bake:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance.
• Foods bake more evenly.
• Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
IMPORTANT
When using convection bake, decrease your normal
cooking times. Adjust the cook time for desired done-
ness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending
on the amount and type of food to be cooked
CAUTION
Be aware that the convection fan will continue to run
after the door is opened. This is normal. Use caution
when reaching inside of the oven. Hot air will be
pushed out of the appliance.
Figure 12: Air movement using convection
To set convection bake:
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the

Figure 16: Baking with a single rack
IMPORTANT
For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the
recom- mended bake function for best results for
batter and dough-based baked goods such as
cakes, pastries, and breads.
• For best results when baking with one oven rack,
place racks in positions 5 (Figure 15).
• When baking using one oven rack, position bake-
ware as shown in Figure 16. Allow at least 2 inches
(5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air
circulation.
• The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s
also for presentation purposes. You may also bake
with the left pan in the front and the right pan in the
back. Either position for either pan bakes correctly.
• If you choose to use a single rack while cooking,
then radiant baking is preferred. If you choose to
use multiple rack while cooking, then Convection
baking is preferred.

20 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Broil
Use convection broil to cook thicker cuts of meat, fish,
and poultry that require direct exposure to radiant heat
and the convection fan for optimum browning results.
Convection broil gently browns the exterior and seals
in the juices. It uses the broil element and a fan to cir-
culate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within
the oven.
The convection fan will begin rotating once convection
broil has been activated.
Convection Broiling Tips:
• Always pull the rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing food.
• Always broil or convection broil with the oven door
closed.
• For optimum results, preheat the broil element for
2-to-5 minutes before adding food.
• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and
cook on the second side. Season and serve.
• Always use the broiler pan and its insert when
broiling, if included. It allows the dripping grease
to be kept away from the high heat of the broil
element.
• Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not
cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed
grease could catch fire. Do not use the roasting
rack when broiling.
• Since convection broil cooks food quickly, reduce
the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook
time of your recipe (check the food at this time).
If necessary, increase cook time until the desired
doneness is obtained.

WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door closed
and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw bak-
ing soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not
put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive
and water can cause a grease fire to spread and
cause personal injury.
The broiler pan and the insert allow grease to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover
the insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease
could ignite.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks,
and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
Be aware that the convection fan will continue to run
after the door is opened. This is normal. Use caution
when reaching inside of the oven. Hot air will be
pushed out of the appliance.
1. Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool. Turn
the oven mode knob to the conv broil position.
2. Turn the oven temp knob to the desired tempera-
ture position. For optimum results, preheat broil for
2-to-5 minutes before adding food.
3. Place the insert on the broil pan (if equipped), then
place the food on the broil pan insert (if using a
broiler pan and insert). To purchase a broiling pan
and insert, visit electrolux.ca.
4. Place the broiler pan and insert on the oven rack.
Center the broiler pan directly under the broiler
element. Broil on one side until food is browned.
5. Turn and broil food on the second side.
6. To cancel the broiling function, turn the oven mode
and oven temp knobs to the OFF positions.
NOTE
Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position
before turning or removing food.
