Electric grill
When grilling, the accessible parts of
the appliance are hot and the appliance
should not be left unattended. Take care that
children do not play near it. While the grill is
operating leave the oven door half open and
put the grill deflector “A” into place. During
use the appliance becomes hot. Care should
be taken to avoid touching heating elements
inside the oven, or the grill deflector (fig. 5).
The grill is used for grilling all kind of meat which
remain tender, toast or browning dishes already
cooked. Slide the dripping pan under the grid on
the lowest shelf to collect the juice and fat.
For turning off the heating elements.
Turn the knob clockwise to position off “0”.
Grilling
Heat comes from the top of the oven. It is suitable
for grilling meat (beef bacon, pork bacon …) that
remains tender, for toast or to brown already
cooked.

•Slide the dripping pan in the guide 1.
•Slide the pan support grid in the guide 2 or 3
depending on the thickness of the meat to be
grilled (fig. 6).
•Use guide 3 for the thin pieces to be roasted
(toasts, pork bacon, sausage, small fish…)
•Use guide 2 for thick pieces to be roasted
(beef bacon, large fish, poultry).
•When the first side is brown, turn the meat
without pricking it in order that the juices are
not lost.
•Grill the second side.
•Salt when ending the cooking.
Cooking time has to determined by the
thickness of the piece to be roasted not by its
weight.
Frying
•Fix the protective screen.
•Fix the knob oven grill on position .
•Place the dish on the grid and slide it in the
guide 2 or 3.
•Leave the dish under the radiation of the grill
for a few minutes.

Hints and Tips
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents
allow some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the oven when
opening the oven door 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 oven, e.g. a trim, it
will condense and produce water droplets. This
is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
Use any ovenproof cookware, which will
withstand temperatures of 2500C.
Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly on the oven base.
Oven Cooking
•Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end
of cooking time, and use residual heat to
complete the cooking.
•The thickness, the material and the colour of
the pan will influence the cooking results.
•When cooking, certain dishes increase in
volume, ensure the pan is large enough.
•To prevent fat dripping when roasting use
tall rim pans proportional to the item being
roasted.
•Prick the skin of poultry and sausages with a
fork before cooking to avoid spitting.
•Use heatproof glass dishes for soufflés.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness,
conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way
they transmit heat to the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware
and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
base browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodised aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase
cooking and base browning.

Electric hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The conrol knob is numbered 0 - 6
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum
Knobs of the hob elements can be turned both
clockwise and anti clockwise directions.
In order to switch the hob element turn the
corresponding knob to the "0" position.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates
We recommend the plates are switched to
maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate,
and rhen adjusted to the required setting.
Rapid Hotplate (Front right)
The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will
heat up more quickly than a normal plate.
Over a period of time the red spot may
disappear, this will not affect the
performance of the hotplate.
It is important to note that the plate may
smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a few minutes.
Cooker operation pilot light (Red indicator lamp)
This light will illuminate when one of the
hotplates knobs is turned on and remains lit
while the hotplates are in use.
Do not put anything on the hob that is
liable to melt.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates
are given in the following table:

Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have
several characteristics:
•They should be fairty heavy duty.
•They should fit the heat area exactly, or be
slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
•They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the plate. This is particularty
important when using pans for high temperature
frying presure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling,turn the plate control
knob so that it will barely keep the liqiud simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before
you finish coking, and the final stage wil be
completed on the accumulated heat.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid
liquids being split onto the plates. Never leave
the plates on without a pan on them or with an
empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot
electric plate.Always point pan handles inward
or over the work surface ext to the hob to avoid
accidentally knocking over a pan as you pass
by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to
turn, please contact your local Electrolux
Service Centre.
