Safety Safety Cooker technology is constantly improving. The way you use your new cooker may be different from the way you used your old one. Please read the whole instruction book before using your new cooker. This cooker is intended for normal domestic use. Take care of the instruction book which will be needed by the new owner if the cooker is sold or passed on to someone else. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or viewpoints about the cooker and its use. warning triangle is to do with safety.
The Cooker The Cooker 1 1 Removable oven vent 2 Hob with HOTPLATES 2 3 Control panel with controls, buttons and an information window 4 Oven 5 Storage drawer 6 Plinth 3 To make it easier to clean behind the cooker, it has wheels at the rear. To move the cooker forwards, open the oven door, lift carefully holding the upper edge and then pull the cooker out from the wall. 4 5 6 Unpacking Check that the cooker is undamaged and in perfect condition.
The safety equipment The safety equipment There should be at least 40 cm of worktops on both sides of the cooker (SEE PICTURE). Alternatively the cooker can be installed with a wall or a tall kitchen unit on one side and a worktop on the other. Child safety is further improved if the following equipment is fitted/in use: min. 40 cm min. 40 cm Non-tip device The non-tip device should be fitted, to prevent the cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal loading.
The safety equipment The door catch The door catch makes it harder for children to open the oven door/storage drawer. The catches are already activated when the cooker is supplied new, but can be deactivated if necessary. A Press the catch down when you want to open the door. B If you wish to deactivate the catch, check first that the oven is not hot. Press the catch on the top edge of the door downwards and then a few millimetres to the right.
The safety equipment Heat the hotplates When supplied, the hotplates have been pretreated with an anti-corrosion product which will provide better protection if the hotplates are heated without pans the first time. Heat one hotplate at a time on full power for no more than five minutes. The hotplates will get very hot, so be extra mindful of the safety of anyone near the cooker during this procedure. Some smoke and fumes are to be expected as the remaining solvent evaporates.
The safety equipment The control panel 5a 1 5b 3 2 1 Indicator lights 2 3 4 5a 5b function control OVEN temperature control HOTPLATE controls Information window Buttons for THE CLOCK OVEN The indicator light bulbs These are neon indicator lights, which normally have a long service life. If one should fail, contact your service centre.
The hob The hob The hob has four cast-iron hotplates. The two on the right, the rapid hotplates, are identified by red spots and have built-in protection against overheating. ø 145 mm ø 180 mm ø 180 mm ø 145 mm Using the hob Never leave the cooker unattended while deep frying, or when using it for melting fats, paraffin wax or other flammable substances. In the event of a fire, turn off all the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan. SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, never use water.
The hob Frying It is best when frying not to use food that has come straight out of the refrigerator. Only about 2/3 of the bottom of the pan should be covered by food. Put the margarine or butter in the frying pan and turn on to the recommended heat. In order to get the best results, it is important that the fat is the right colour (temperature) when you start frying. Hold a light-coloured spatula to the bottom of the pan to see the colour of the fat.
The hob Cleaning the hotplates Remove spillages as soon as possible, to prevent them from burning onto the hotplate. Soilage impairs the transfer of heat to the pan. Cleaning and anti-corrosion treatment 1 Clean the hotplates thoroughly with soapimpreg- nated steel-wool. Wash off all traces of soap, and dry using paper towels. 2 When the hotplates are cold and dry, apply an even layer of the anti-corrosion product to each. This product is available from Electrolux dealers.
The oven The oven The oven has removable side racks for the shelves (1) with three rungs on each side. The roasting sensor socket is on the right-hand inside of the oven (2) and the fan with ring element is on the back wall of the oven (3). 3 2 1 The functions of the oven For all oven functions, the indicator light comes on when the oven is heating and goes out when the set temperature is reached (goes on and off as the thermostat switches in and out).
The oven THE PRINCIPLE FOR FAN-ASSISTED OVEN Top and bottom elements and a ring element around the fan heat the air which then spreads through the air ducts in the back wall of the oven. The hot air circulates in the oven before being drawn back in through the fan grill. The heat is transferred quickly and effectively, and often means you can use a lower temperature than with top/bottom heat. The temperature can be lowered by 1520% if the recipe specifies a temperature between 160ºC and 225ºC.
The oven Oven time Use this function to set the length of time you want the food to be in the oven. The oven turns off after the set time. TO SET THE OVEN TIME: 1 Switch the oven on by turning the function control and the thermostat control to the required positions. A 2 Press and set the time using or . The symbols A and now appear in the information window. 3 The oven comes on at once. 4 When the set oven time has been reached, the symbol A flashes, the symbol goes out and a sound is emitted.
The oven Oven time and end time Would you like dinner to be ready when you get home? Put the food in the oven and set the END TIME plus the length of time the oven needs to be on, i.e. the OVEN TIME . Maximum oven time is 10 hours. TO DO THIS: 1 Place the food to be cooked into the oven and switch the oven on by turning the function control and the thermostat control to the required positions. 2 Press and set the required cooking time (e.g. A 45 minutes) using and .
The oven Practical use Never place aluminium foil, baking trays or oven dishes directly on the bottom of the oven. Blocking heat from the bottom of the oven can damage the enamel through overheating. The oven gets hot when in use: CHILDREN NEARBY MUST BE SUPERVISED. The baking tray may warp temporarily due to temperature fluctuations, or if the food, (pizza, etc.) is unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes its shape when cool.
The oven Roasting Using the TOP/BOTTOM HEAT and FAN-ASSISTED OVEN for roasting is both easy and practical. Joints of beef such as topside and sirloin retain their natural juices best if roasted at 125ºC. However, cooking time is slightly longer than at a higher temperature. Use a meat dish in which there is just sufficient room for the joint so that the juices do not burn dry. Use a large roasting pan or ovenproof dish when roasting a joint of ham as there is usually a lot of meat juice.
The oven TURNING OFF When the correct meat temperature has been reached, a sound is emitted and the oven switches off. 1 Press the buttons at the same time and to turn off the sound. 2 Remove the sensor from the socket in the oven and remove the meat. NOTE! Both the oven and the sensor are hot. 3 When the oven has cooled down, replace the protective socket cover. It will only be possible to use the oven again when the sensor has been removed.
The oven Pizza/Quiche position Perfect for cooking a pizza. Heat the oven to 225ºC and place the pizza on the middle shelf. Use a baking tray, not a roasting dish, to prevent the edges of the pizza from burning. Browning (swift start) Excellent for browning au gratin dishes, toasted sandwiches, etc. You can also use this function to heat the oven quickly to the set temperature. When the oven has reached that temperature, you can then select whichever function is required.
The oven Cleaning and maintenance The oven The oven surfaces are of vitreous enamel. The outer section, the door front, can easily be removed for cleaning (see “The oven door” below). IF THE OVEN IS VERY SOILED: 1 Use a spatula or similar implement to remove spillages which have hardened. 2 Use a sponge to spread soft soap inside the oven. 3 Close the door. Set the oven to (top/bottom heat) and 100°C for about 10 minutes. 4 When the oven has cooled, wash the surfaces with clean water.
The oven To change the oven light bulb 1 Turn all controls to off and check that the oven 2 3 4 5 is not hot. Unscrew the glass cover (see illustration). Unscrew the old bulb. Fit a new bulb, marked 230–240 V, 15 W and 300°C, with an E14 screw fitting. Refit the glass cover. The fan You can remove the fan blades for cleaning, but do so with care, as they have sharp edges. 1 Make sure the oven is turned off and is cold. 2 Unscrew the four screws (A) and remove the back wall of the oven.
