Thermostat Control Indicator The thermostat control indicator will come on when the thermostat control knob is turned. The indicator will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show the temperature is being maintained. Safety Thermostat To prevent dangerous overheating (through incorrect use of the appliance or defective8 electrolux

components), the oven is fitted with a safety thermostat, which interrupts 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 contact Customer Service. The cooling fan The oven is provided with a cooling fan, meant to keep the front panel, the knobs and the oven door handle cool.The fan switches on automatically when the oven is activated. Warm air is blown out through the aperture near the oven door handle. The fan switches off when, after cooking, the oven function control knob is set to OFF position 0. Hotplate control knobs The Control Knobs for the hotplates can be found on the oven control panel. The energy regulator of the hotplates can be set by means of a 7-position control knob: 0 = Off 1 = Minimum 3 = Maximum The intermediate positions give an increasing heating power. Double circuit cooking zone If you wish to have the two electric circuits work simultaneously, turn the knob to Max position (3) and then turn it towards symbol “0”. You will hear a click. Now the 2 circuits work together. Then, you can regulate the power of the cooking zone by turning the control knob anticlockwise. Carefully supervise cookings with oil or fats, since these types of food can result in a fire, when over-heated.electrolux 9

Before using the oven for the first time To open the oven door, always hold the handle in the centre. 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 normal. It is caused by manufacturing residues. Ensure the room is well ventilated.

3. Open a window for ventilation.

4. Allow the oven to run empty for ap-

proximately 45 minutes. This procedure should be repeated with the Con- ventional cooking and the grill functions for approximately 5-10 minutes. Then let the oven cool down. Then dampen a soft cloth with warm water 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. )10 electrolux

Using the oven The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural circulation 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. 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-resisting pans and aluminium trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the shelf runners.When food is heated, steam is created, like in a kettle. When the steam comes into contact with the glass in the oven door, it condenses and creates water droplets. To reduce condensation, always preheat the empty oven for 10 minutes. We recommend you wipe the water droplets away after every cooking process. Always cook with the oven door closed. Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open.

The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with two shelves. 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.electrolux 11

Conventional Cooking - The middle shelf position allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. - The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. - Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning. - Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier. - Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.When using this setting, heat comes from both the top and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. How to use the conventional oven

2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required

temperature. Bottom oven element only This function is particularly useful when blind- baking pastry. It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked through. The thermostat control light will remain 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 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, 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 using the inner grill element for cooking small quantities, it can help to save energy.

1. Turn the oven control function knob on .

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required

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 cycles on and off to prevent overheating.12 electrolux

Defrosting The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF position. Hints and Tips 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 springform 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 liquid. If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits 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 biscuits 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 tem- perature (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 Thermal grilling Turn the oven function control knob to position and regulate the thermostat to the temperature required. This function offers an alternative method of cooking food items, normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate alternately, circulating hot air around the food. When using this function, select a maximum temperature of 200°C. Fan cooking - The food is cooked by means of preheated air force blown evenly round the inside of the oven by a fan set on the rear wall of the oven itself. - Heat thus reaches all parts of the oven evenly and fast and this means that you can simulta- neously cook different types of foods positioned on the various oven shelves . Fan cooking ensures rapid elimination of moisture and the dryer oven environment stops the different aromas and flavours from being transmitted from one food to another. - The possibility of cooking on several shelf heights means that you can cook several differ- ent dishes at the same time and up to three tins of biscuits and mini pizzas to be eaten immediately or subsequently deep frozen. - Naturally the oven can also be used for cooking on just one shelf. In this case you should use the lowest set of runners so that you can keep an eye on progress more easily. - In addition, the oven is particularly recommended for sterilizing preserves, cooking home-made fruit in syrup, and for drying mushrooms or fruit.electrolux 13

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 depressed, it is cooked through. Roast beef and fillet, which is to remain pink inside, must be roasted at a higher tempera- ture 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 temperature until serving. Caution! 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 prepara- tion of the same dishes. Based upon your own experiences you will be able to alter the values given in the tables.14 electrolux

Before cleaning switch the oven off and let it cool down. The appliance must not be cleaned with a superheated steam cleaner or a steam jet cleaner. Important: Before carrying out any cleaning operation, the appliance must be disconnected from the power supply. To ensure a long life for your appliance, it is necessary to perform the following cleaning operations regularly: - Only perform when the oven has cooled down. - Clean the enamelled parts with soapy water. - Do not use abrasive cleaners. - Dry the stainless steel parts and glass with a soft cloth. - If there are stubborn stains, use commercially available for stainless steel or warm vinegar. The oven’s enamel is extremely durable and highly impermeable. The action of hot fruit acids (from lemons, plums or similar) can however leave permanent, dull, rough marks on the surface of the enamel. However such marks in the brightly polished surface of the enamel does not affect the operation of the oven. Clean the oven thoroughly after every use. This is the easiest way to clean dirt off. It prevents dirt being burnt on. 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 surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided. Cleaning and Maintenance 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 liquid detergent 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

• Bath/Sink stain removers Clean the outer and inner door glass using 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. DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed the glass panel may shatter. If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further. 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 cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.electrolux 17

Replacing The Oven Light Disconnect the appliance If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply with the following specifications: - Electric power: 25 W, - Electric rate: 230 V (50 Hz), - Resistant to temperatures of 300°C, - Connection type: E14. These bulbs are available from your local Service Force Centre. To replace the faulty bulb:

The oven door The oven door consists of two panes of glass. The oven door can be disassembled and the internal panes can be removed to make cleaning easier. Important - Remove the oven door before cleaning it. The oven door could abruptly close if you try to remove the internal panes of glass when the door is still assembled. To do so, proceed as follows.

1) open the door fully;

2) locate the two door hinges (Fig. 1);

3) lift and turn the levers on the two hinges (Fig. 2);

4) hold the door by the side edges and close it slowly

but not COMPLETELY (Fig. 3); 5 ) pull the door forward, removing it from its seat (Fig. 3); Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 )electrolux 19

protected by a soft cloth to prevent the handle surface from being damaged;

7) release the locking system to remove the inter-

nal panes of glass (Fig. 5);

8) turn the 2 fasteners 90° and extract them from

their seats (Fig. 6);

9) gently lift and carefully take off the uppermost

pane marked by a decorative frame on 4 sides (Fig. 7). Clean the oven door with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not use products such as scouring pads, steel wool, abrasive sponges or acids because they could damage the special heat-reflecting sur- face of the internal panes of glass. After cleaning, reassemble the panes in the door and then the oven door, following the procedure described above in reverse. Make sure you repo- sition the panes correctly. To perform this operation correctly, proceed as follows: - the decorated internal pane with a frame on the 4 sides must be reassembled so that the screen- printing is facing outwards. The side of the pane of glass is correct if you do not feel any roughness near the screen printing when you pass your fingers over the surface. Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Fig. 4 90°20 electrolux

How to clean the oven door seal A rubber seal around the oven opening guarantees correct operation. Check the condition of this seal periodically. If it has to be cleaned, do not use abrasive objects or substances. If you notice that the seal is damaged, contact your local service centre and do not use the oven until it has been repaired. The internal pane of glass must be put back into the right seats as shown in Fig. 8 After the panes of glass have been reassembled in the oven door, perform the procedure described in point 8) in reverse to ensure they are locked. Do not clean the oven door when it is still hot, as the glass could shatter. If scratches or deep cracks are noted on the surface of the glass, contact the authorised Assistance Centre for replacing the glass. Models in stainless steel or aluminium: It is advisable to clean the oven door and control panel in stainless steel or aluminium only with a moist sponge, carefully drying with a soft cloth after cleaning. Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products as they can damage the surface.

Instructions for the Installer The instructions given below are designed specifically for a qualified installer and should aid him or her to perform all installation, adjustment, and maintenance operations with absolute precision and in compliance with all current legislation and regulations. We strongly recommend that all operations for the installation of your cooker be carryed out by Qualified Personnel in accordance with existing rules and regulations. Electrical connection Prior to making the electrical connection, make sure that: — the protection fuse and the domestic wiring system are suitable to carry the total electric load of the oven (see rating plate); — your domestic wiring system has an efficient earth connection in compliance with rules and laws in force; — the wall socket or the omnipole switch used for the electrical connection can easily be reached after the oven is built in. This appliance is delivered without an electric supply cable, therefore, you will have to fit to it a supply cable with standard plug, suitable for the total electric load shown on the rating plate. The plug is to be inserted into a suitable wall socket. If you require a direct connection to the electric network (mains), it will be necessary to fit between the appliance and the mains an omnipole switch, with a minimum gap between contacts of 3 mm, suitable for the required load and in compliance with rules in force. The green & yellow ground wire must not be interrupted by the switch, and should be 2-3 cm longer than the phase and neutral wires. The supply cable must in all cases be laid out in such a way as to ensure that it does not reach at any given point a temperature 50°C higher than the ambient temperature. Suitable power supply cables are the following types, considering the respective necessary section of cable: H07 RN-F, H05 RN-F, H05 RR-F, H05 VV-F, H05 V2V2-F (T90), H05 BB-F. Connecting the terminal board The appliance incorporates an easily accessible 6-pole terminal board whose jumpers (bridges) are already pre-set for operation on 400 V tri-phase with neutral wire (Fig. 9). In case a different mains voltage is present, the jumpers on the terminal board must be rearranged as shown in the diagram (Fig. 10). The ground cable must be connected to terminal .

15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms excludes

any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the consumer wishes to assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, compensation will not exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance. These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For exported appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation instructions, etc.) for the country concerned and that they can withstand the local climatic and environmental conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the user must first ensure that they meet the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments are not covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases. Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee period has expired.
