cooking time is over, an acoustic alarm
will sound and the oven will switch off
automatically.
Turn the timer knob on to set the
oven on manual operation.
Safety Thermostat
To prevent dangerous overheating
(through incorrect use of the appliance
or defective components), the oven is
fitted with a safety thermostat, which in-
terrupts the power supply. The oven
switches back on again automatically,
when the temperature drops.
Should the safety thermostat trigger due
to incorrect use of the appliance, it is
enough to remedy the error after the
oven has cooled down; if on the other
hand, the thermostat triggers because
of a defective component, please con-
tact Customer Service.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan is designed to cool the
the oven and the control panel. The fan
switches on automatically after a few mi-
controls electrolux 9

nutes of cooking. Warm air is blown out
through the aperture near the oven door
handle. When the oven is switched off,
the fan may run on after the oven is
switched off to keep the controls cool.
This is quite normal.
The action of the cooling fan will de-
pend on how long the oven has been
used and at what temperature. It
may not switch in at all at lower
temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used
for a short time.
Before the First Use
To open the oven door, always hold
the handle in the centre.
10 electrolux before the first use

Remove all packaging, both inside
and outside the oven, before using
the oven.
Before using for the first time, the oven
should be heated up without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour
may be emitted. This is absolutely nor-
mal. It is caused by manufacturing resi-
dues.
Ensure the room is well ventilated.
1. Switch the oven function control
knob to fan cooking
2. Set the thermostat control knob to
250°C.
3. Open a window for ventilation.
4. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with
the inner grill function for
approximately 5-10 minutes
Then let the oven cool down. Then
dampen a soft cloth with warm wa-
ter and a little mild washing-up liquid
and use this to clean the oven cavity.
Before using for the first time,
carefully wash the oven accessories
as well.
Using the Oven
The oven is supplied with an exclusive
system which produces a natural circu-
lation of air and the constant recycling of
steam.
This system makes it possible to cook in
a steamy environment and keep the
dishes soft inside and crusty outside.
Moreover, the cooking time and energy
consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced
which can be released when opening
the oven door. This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from
the oven when opening the oven
door during cooking or at the end of
it to allow any build up of steam or
heat to release.
When food is heated, steam is cre-
ated, like in a kettle. When the steam
comes into contact with the glass in
the oven door, it condenses and cre-
ates water droplets.
To reduce condensation, always
preheat the empty oven for 10 mi-
nutes.
We recommend you wipe the water
droplets away after every cooking proc-
ess.
using the oven electrolux 11

Always cook with the oven door
closed. Stand clear when opening
the drop down oven door. Do not al-
low it to fall open - support the door
using the door handle, until it is fully
open.
Attention! - Do not place objects on
the oven base and do not cover any
part of the oven with aluminium foil
while cooking, as this could cause a
heat build-up which would affect the
baking results and damage the oven
enamel. Always place pans, heat-re-
sisting pans and aluminium trays on
the shelf which has been inserted in
the shelf runners.

The oven has four shelf levels.
The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as
shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are
correctly positioned as shown in the
diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on
the oven base.
12 electrolux using the oven

Fan Cooking
The air inside the oven is heated by the
element around the fan situated behind
the back panel. The fan circulates hot air
to maintain an even temperature inside
the oven.
The advantage of cooking with this
function is energy saving through:
•Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches
temperature, it is not usually
necessary to preheat the oven al-
though you may find that you need to
allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking
times. For recipes which require
higher temperatures, best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first,
e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles,
etc.
•Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires
lower temperatures than conventional
cooking. Follow the temperatures rec-
ommended in the cooking chart. Re-
member to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own recipes
which use conventional cooking.
•Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on
all shelf positions. This means that
batches of the same food can be
cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown
slightly quicker than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing
of flavours between dishes.
– Shelf positions are not critical, but
make sure the shelves are evenly
spaced.
– When cooking more than one dish
in the fan oven, place dishes
centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
– When the oven is full, you may need
to allow slightly longer cooking time.
– When the oven is full of the same
food, e.g. equal trays of small cakes
or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in
the same time and removed from
the oven together. When different
sizes of trays or types of food, e.g.
biscuits and cakes are cooked, they
will not necessarily be ready
together.
– The fan oven can be used to heat
foods through without thawing first,
e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage
rolls, and other small pastry items.
Use a temperature of 190-200°C
and allow 20-40 minutes (depend-
ing on the quantity of food in the
oven).
– The use of too high temperatures
can cause uneven browning.
Check with the recommendations
for oven temperatures given in the
cooking charts, but be prepared to
adjust the temperature, if
necessary. Remember to reduce
temperatures by about 20-25°C for
your own conventional recipes.
– When roasting do use the trivet in
the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will
drain into the meat tin below and
can be used to make gravy. The
trivet also prevents splashes of fat
from soiling the oven interior.
using the oven electrolux 13

– The meat tin should not be placed
on a heated hotplate as this may
cause the enamel to crack.
How to use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob
to symbol
2. Turn the thermostat control to the re-
quired temperature.
Things to note
• The oven light will come on when the
oven function control knob is set.
• The oven fan will operate continually
during cooking.
• The thermostat control light will re-
main on until the correct temperature
is reached. It will then cycle on and off
to show the temperature is being
maintained.
Grilling
– 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. Food such as
fish, liver and kidneys may be placed
directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
– Food should be thoroughly dried be-
fore 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 un-
derneath the grid when grilling meats
– When toasting bread, we suggest that
the top runner position is used.
– The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
How to use the Inner Grill
Element
The inner grill provides quick direct heat
to the central area of the grill pan. By us-
ing the inner grill element for cooking
small quantities, it can help to save
energy.
1. Turn the oven control function knob
on symbol
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on
the required temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner
position to allow for different
thicknesses of food and follow the
instructions for grilling.
The grill element is controlled by the
thermostat. During cooking, the grill cy-
cles on and off to prevent overheating.
How to Use Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature,
inside the oven. This increases the
speed of defrosting. However, please
note that the temperature of the kitchen
will influence the speed of defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for
delicate food which could be damaged
by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux, iced
cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast
products.
1. Turn the oven function control knob
to symbol
2. Ensure the thermostat control knob
is in the OFF position.

Hints and Tips
• Prepare foods in the same way as for
conventional grilling. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or
butter to keep them moist during
cooking.
• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or
plastic film to prevent drying out dur-
ing defrosting.
• ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.
• Frozen food should be placed in a sin-
gle layer when ever possible and
turned over half way through the de-
frosting process.
• Only joints of meat and poultry up to
2 kg. (4 lb.) are suitable for defrosting
in this way.
On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a
medium temperature (150°C-200°C)
and therefore it is necessary to preheat
the oven for about 10 minutes.
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of
the baking time has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a spring-
form tin or on a tray for up to 2/3 of the
baking time and then garnished before
being fully baked. This further baking
time depends on the type and amount
of topping or filling. Sponge mixtures
must separate with difficulty from the
spoon. The baking time would be
unnecessarily extended by too much liq-
uid.
If two baking trays with pastries or bis-
cuits are inserted into the oven at the
same time, a shelf level must be left free
between the trays.
If two baking trays with pastries or bis-
cuits are inserted into the oven at the
same time, the trays must be swapped
and turned around after about 2/3 of the
baking time.
On Roasting:
Do not roast joints smaller than 1 kg.
Smaller pieces could dry out when
roasting. Dark meat, which is to be well
done on the outside but remain medium
or rare inside, must be roasted at a
higher temperature (200°C-250°C).
White meat, poultry and fish, on the
other hand, require a lower temperature
(150°C-175°C). The ingredients for a
sauce or gravy should only be added to
the roasting pan right at the beginning if
the cooking time is short. Otherwise add
them in the last half hour.
You can use a spoon to test whether the
meat is cooked: if it cannot be de-
pressed, it is cooked through. Roast
beef and fillet, which is to remain pink
inside, must be roasted at a higher
temperature in a shorter time.
If cooking meat directly on the oven
shelf, insert the roasting pan in the shelf
level below to catch the juices. Leave the
joint to stand for at least 15 minutes, so
that the meat juices do not run out.
To reduce the build up of smoke in the
oven, it is recommended to pour a little
water in the roasting pan. To prevent
condensation forming, add water
several times.The plates can be kept
warm in the oven at minimum tempera-
ture until serving.
using the oven electrolux 15

Do not line the oven with aluminium
foil and do not place a roasting pan
or baking tray on the floor, as other-
wise the oven enamel will be dam-
aged by the heat build-up.
Cooking times
Cooking times can vary according to the
different composition, ingredients and
amounts of liquid in the individual dishes.
Note the settings of your first cooking or
roasting experiments to gain experience
for later preparation of the same dishes.
Based upon your own experiences you
will be able to alter the values given in the
tables.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning always allow the
cooling fan to cool the oven down
before switching off at the electricity
supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned
with steam or with a steam cleaning
machine.
The oven should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire,
especially in the grill pan.
Important: Before carrying out any
cleaning operation, the appliance must
be disconnected from the power supply.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel,
oven door and door seal using a soft
cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little mild washing-up liquid has
been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
• Household detergent and bleaches
• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
cleaning and maintenance electrolux 19

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass us-
ing warm soapy water. Should the inner
door glass become heavily soiled it is
recommended that a cleaning product
such as Hob Brite is used. Do not use
paint scrapers to remove soilage.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on
your oven, check that they are suitable
and that their use is recommended by
the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should
NOT be used as they may dull the sur-
face finishes. Harsh abrasives should
also be avoided.
Oven Cavity
The enamelled base of the oven cavity is
best cleaned whilst the oven is still
warm. Wipe the oven over with a soft
cloth soaked in warm soapy water after
each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough clean-
ing, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
DO NOT attempt to clean catalytic
liners.
Care of Catalytic Liners
As cooking produces oil, fats, splashes
of food, etc., catalytic enamel destroys
them. To aid this process it is a good
idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week, without food, to ensure con-
tinued good performance from the
Catalytic liners.
To clean the oven cavity, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Remove the oven accessories, if
present (e.g. pans, grids, baking
