Electrical safety
•This appliance must be only con-
nected by a registered electrician.
•In the event of a fault or damage to
the appliance: Take the fuses out or
switch off.
•Repairs to the appliance must only
be carried out by qualified service
engineers. Considerable danger
may result from improper repairs. If
repairs become necessary, please

your dealer.
Child Safety
•Never leave children unsupervised
when the appliance is in use.
Safety whilst Using
•This appliance is intended to be
used for cooking, roasting and bak-
ing food in the home.
•Take care when connecting electric
appliances to sockets nearby. Do
not allow connecting leads to come
into contact with or to catch beneath
the hot oven door.
•Warning: Risk of burns! The interi-
or of the oven becomes hot during
use.
•Using ingredients containing alcohol
in the oven may create an alcohol-air
mixture that is easily ignited. In this
case, open the door carefully. Do not
have embers, sparks or naked
flames in the vicinity when opening
the door.
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.
How to avoid damage to the
appliance
•Do not line the oven with aluminium
foil and do not place baking trays,
pots, etc. on the oven floor, as the
heat that builds up will damage the
oven enamel.
•Fruit juices dripping from the baking
tray will leave stains, which you will
not be able to remove. For very moist
cakes, use a deep tray.
•Do not put any strain on the oven
door when open.
•Never pour water directly into the
oven when it is hot. This could cause
damage to or discoloration of the
enamel.
•Rough handling, especially around
the edges of the front panel, can
cause the glass to break.

6electrolux safety instructions
•Do not store any flammable materi-
als inside the oven. These could ig-
nite when the oven is switched on.
•Do not store any moist foods inside
the oven. This could damage the
oven enamel.
•After switching off the cooling fan, do
not keep uncovered dishes in the ov-
en. Moisture may condense in the
oven interior or on the glass doors
and may get into the units.
Note on enamel coating
Changes in the colour of the oven’s
enamel coating as a result of use do not
affect the appliance’s suitability for nor-
mal and correct use. They therefore do
not constitute a defect in the sense of
the warranty law.

Inserting the Oven Shelf, Baking
Tray and Roasting Pan
Shelf runner safety and anti-tip de-
vice
As a shelf runner safety device, all
insertable components have a small
curved indentation at the bottom on
the right and left-hand edge.
Always insert insertable compo-
nents so that this indentation is at
the back of the oven interior. This in-
dentation is also important for pre-
venting the insertable components
from tipping.

Uses, Tables and Tips
Baking
Oven function: Convection or
Conventional
Baking tins
•For Conventional , dark metal and
non-stick tins are suitable.
•For Convection bright metal tins
are also suitable.
Oven levels
•Baking with Conventional is only
possible on one level.
•With Convection you can bake
dry cakes and biscuits on 2 baking
trays at the same time.
1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3
1 cake tin:
e.g. oven level 1
2 baking trays:
e. g. oven levels 1 and 3

20 electrolux uses, tables and tips
General Instructions
•Insert the tray with the bevel at the
front.
•With Conventional or
Convection you can also bake
with two tins next to one another on
the oven shelf at the same time. This
does not significantly increase bak-
ing time.
When frozen foods are used the
trays inserted may distort during
cooking. This is due to the large dif-
ference in temperature between the
freezing temperature and the tem-
perature in the oven. Once the trays
have cooled the distortion will dis-
appear again.
How to use the Baking Tables
The tables give the required tempera-
ture settings, baking times and oven
shelf levels for a selection of typical dish-
es.
•Temperatures and baking times are
for guidance only, as these will de-
pend on the consistency of pastry or
mixture, the number and the type of
cake tin.
•We recommend using the lower
temperature the first time and then if
necessary, for example, if a deeper
browning is required, or baking time
is too long, selecting a higher tem-
perature.
•If you cannot find the settings for a
particular recipe, look for the one
that is most similar.
•If baking cakes on baking trays or in
tins on more than one level, baking
time can be extended by 10-15 min-
utes.
•Moist recipes (for example, pizzas,
fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one lev-
el.
•Cakes and pastries at different
heights may brown at an uneven rate
at first. If this occurs, please do not
change the temperature setting.
Different rates of browning even out
as baking progresses.
•Your new oven may bake or roast dif-
ferently to your previous appliance.
So adapt your normal settings (tem-
perature, cooking times) and oven
shelf levels to the recommendations
in the following tables.
With longer baking times, you can
switch the oven off about 10 min-
utes before the end of the baking
time, in order to utilise the residual
heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values
given in the tables assume that
cooking is started with the oven
cold.
