Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is situated on the lower front frame
of the appliance and can be seen upon
opening the 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.
The cooling fan for the controls
The cooling fan comes on immediately
when the grill/top oven is switched on
and after a short time when the main
oven is in use. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the
appliance has cooled.
During the initial period the cooling
fan may turn on and off, this is quite
normal.
Always allow the cooling fan to
cool the appliance down before
switching off at the wall prior to
carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Control panel indicator neon(s)
The indicator neon will operate when
the grill (where applicable) or oven(s) is
switched on. The indicator neon will
glow. It may turn on and off during use
to show that the setting is being
maintained. If the neon does not
operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and reset
following the instructions for the
required setting.
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.

electrolux before using the appliance 9
For your safety wall coverings at the
rear of the appliance should be
securely fixed to the wall.
Cookware
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be
placed directly against the grid
covering the fan at the back of the
oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than
30cm x 35cm (12” x 14”) as they will
restrict the circulation of heat and may
affect performance.

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.

remove and cool it quickly if the food is
not to be consumed immediately.
Always ensure food in the oven has
been covered before cooking if it is not
possible to remove food immediately
after cooking.

electrolux operation 13
The gas 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.
Larger burner (Rapid or triple crown
where applicable) - use a large pan for
food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for
everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for
simmering foods such as soups and
stews.
The largest pan which you should
use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The
base of 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 an
electric spark system.
• Lift up the lid. You cannot use the
hob when the lid is down.
• Push in and hold the control knob,
turn to the large flame symbol .
• Press the ignition button
immediately. Keep the control
knob depressed for up to 5
seconds, but no longer than 10
seconds. After this time release
the controls. The flame should
remain alight. If after 10 seconds
the burner has not lit, stop
operating the appliance and wait at
least 1 min before attempting a
further ignition of the burner.
• When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust
the setting as required.
Warning: If the ignition button is
not pressed immediately a build up
of gas may cause the flame to
spread.
When lighting any burner, ensure
that it is lit before you leave the
appliance.
If you close the lid of the appliance
while any of the hob 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.

14 electrolux operation
To turn off any burner
• Turn the control knob to the off
position
when turning off any burner, ensure
the flame has gone out before
leaving the appliance.
In the event of the burner flames
being accidentally extinguished,
turn off the burner control and do
not attempt to re-ignite the burner
for at least 1 min.
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.
Do not use the lid as a work
surface or chopping board. This
could damage the glass and
reduce its strength.
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
hob.
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.

The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It is heated by elements in the
top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking smaller quantities
of food. It gives especially good results
if used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and
savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is ideal for use as a
warming compartment. Use the lowest
setting on the top oven temperature
control.
Using the top oven
• Turn the top oven/grill selector to
top oven .
• Turn the top oven temperature
control to the required setting.
Things to note
• The oven light will illuminate.
• The indicator neon will glow. It
may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being
maintained.
• The cooling fan for the controls
may operate after a time.
Do not place dishes, tins and trays
directly on the oven base as it
becomes very hot and damage will
occur.
To fit the top oven shelf
The shelf should be fitted with the
straight rods uppermost on the frame
and the forms towards the back of the
oven.
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. Each shelf position has an
upper and lower support wire, ensure
the shelf is placed between these two
support wires.
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.

electrolux operation 17
The main oven
The fan oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food. The
advantages of fan oven cooking are:
Preheating
The fan oven quickly reaches its
temperature, so it is not usually
necessary to preheat the oven.
Without preheating however, you may
need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on
the recommended cooking times. 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.
Cooking temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires
lower temperatures than conventional
cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the cooking chart.
As a guide reduce temperatures by
about 20°C – 25°C for your own
recipes, using a conventional oven.
Batch baking
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf
levels, especially useful when batch
baking.
Using the main oven
• Turn the main oven temperature
control to the required setting.
Things to note
• The oven light will illuminate.
• The indicator neon will glow. It
may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being
maintained.
• The cooling fan for the controls
may operate after a time.
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.
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.
Each shelf position has an upper and
lower support wire, ensure the shelf is
placed between these two support
wires.
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.

18 electrolux operation
Defrost feature
This function defrosts most foods
faster than more conventional methods.
It is particularly suitable for delicate
frozen foods, which are to be served
cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes
covered with icings or frostings,
cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.
Using the defrost feature
• Turn the main oven temperature
control to the defrost setting.
Things to note
• The oven fan and interior light will
come on.
