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 is switched on and after a
short time when the 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.

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 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
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.

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 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.

To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is

that the stops clear the side supports.

To install a shelf, reverse the above
steps. Each shelf position has an

Defrost
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 required setting.
Things to note
