Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is situated on the 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 and 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.

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.

The following items of grill and oven
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.
1 grill pan

The mechanical minute minder
Your oven is equiped with a
mechanical minute minder.
To set the minute minder turn the
control clockwise to the required time.
Once the end time has been reached
you will hear an acoustic alarm.
Things to note
When setting shorter periods of time
(30 minutes or less) you should set a
longer period to be timed initially.
You should then wind the control
back to the required time.
This will improve the accuracy of
your timer for shorter periods of time.
The longer the set time duration, the
longer the acoustic alarm will sound

The grill
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be
hot when the grill is in use. Young
children should be kept away.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means
that the full area of the grill can be used,
or for economy purposes, the centre
section only can be used when cooking
smaller quantities of food.
Using the dual grill
• Turn the top oven/grill function
selector
clockwise to the
required power setting.
The grill settings are as follows: -
Centre grill area at full power.
Full grill area at full power.
• Turn the top oven/grill temperature
control to the right as far as it will go.
This is the hottest setting .
• To use the grill at a lower setting turn
the top oven/grill temperature control
knob to a lower setting .
Things to note
• To oven light will illuminate.

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. It can be used
to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use the lowest setting on the top oven
temperature control.
Using the top oven
• Turn the top oven/grill function
selector to the required setting
.
• Turn the top oven/grill 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 will
operate.
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.

The fan 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 fan oven
• Turn the main oven function
selector to the required setting.
• 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.
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.
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelves should be fitted with the
straight rods uppermost on the frame
and the forms towards the back of the
oven.
Back of the oven

electrolux hints and tips 19
Hints and tips
Hints and tips when using the grill
• Most foods should be placed on the
grid in the grill pan to allow
maximum circulation of air and to lift
the food out of the fats and juices.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner
position to allow for different
thicknesses of food.
• Position the food close to the
element for faster cooking and
further away for gentler cooking.
• Food should be thoroughly dried
before grilling to minimise splashing.
Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to
keep them moist during cooking.
• Accompaniments such as tomatoes
and mushrooms may be placed
underneath the grid when grilling
meats.
• When toasting bread, use the shelf
in the top position with the grid in
the ‘high’ position.
• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a
few minutes before sealing steaks or
toasting. Adjust the heat setting and
the shelf as necessary during
cooking.
• The food should be turned over
during cooking as required.
• When using the centre section grill,
ensure food is placed centrally on
the grilling grid directly beneath the
grill element.
Hints and tips when using the top
oven
• Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the oven
ON. Shelf positions are counted
from the bottom upwards.
• There should always be at least
2.5cm (1”) between the top of the
food and the element. This gives
best cooking results and allows
room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings etc. When
cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread
etc., place the tins or baking trays
centrally on the shelf.
• Ensure that food is placed centrally
on the shelf and there is sufficient
room around the baking tray/dish to
allow for maximum circulation.
• Stand dishes on a suitably sized
baking tray on the shelf to prevent
spillage onto the oven base and to
help reduce cleaning.
• The material and finish of the baking
tray and dishes used affect base
browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy
or non-stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
• Because of the smaller cooking
space and lower temperatures,
shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by
the recommendations given in the
cooking chart.

20 electrolux hints and tips
• For economy leave the door open
for the shortest possible time,
particularly when placing food into a
pre-heated oven.
Hints and tips when using fan
cooking
• Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the oven
on. Shelf positions are counted
from the bottom upwards.

• When cooking more than one dish in
the fan oven, place dishes centrally
on different shelves rather than
cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate
freely for the best cooking results.
• When batch baking one type of
food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes,
those of similar size will be cooked in
the same time.
• It is recommended that when baking
larger quantities the shelf positions
should be evenly spaced to suit the
load being cooked. A slight increase
in cooking time may be necessary.
• Do not place baking trays directly on
the oven base as it interferes with
the oven air circulation and can lead
to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.
Hints and tips when defrosting
• Place the frozen food in a single
layer where possible and turn it over
half way through the defrosting
process.
• The actual speed of defrosting is
influenced by room temperature. On
warm days defrosting will be faster
than on cooler days.
• It is preferable to thaw fish, meat
and poultry slowly in the fridge.
However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost
function. Small or thin fish fillets,
frozen peeled prawns, cubed or
minced meat, liver, thin chops,
steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2
hours.
• A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will
be thawed in approximately 5 hours.
Remove the giblets as soon as
possible during the thawing process.
• Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in
weight can be thawed using the
defrost function.
• All joints of meat and poultry must
be thawed thoroughly before
cooking.
• Always cook thoroughly immediately
after thawing.
• Do not leave food at room
temperature once it is defrosted.
Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge, once it
has cooled.
