Condensation; Operating Your Oven Temperature Selector; Pre-Heating Your Appliance - Electrolux 63K914 User Manual

Condensation

Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may
happen when you are cooking large quantities of food
from a cold start. You can minimise condensation by:
• K eeping the amount of water used whilst cooking
to a minimum.
• M aking sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
• B aking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller
than the water container.
• C ooking casseroles with the lid on.
Note: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn
to steam and may condense outside your appliance.
This is not a problem or fault with your oven.

operating your oven temperature selector

A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance.
The temperature can be selected within the specified range.
To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector in a
clockwise direction to the desired setting. An indicator light
above the temperature selector will come on. When the
temperature is reached, the heating source switches itself off
and the indicator light goes out. When the oven temperature
falls below the desired setting, the heating source switches
on and the indicator light comes on again. Once the food
is cooked, turn the temperature selector back in an anti-
clockwise direction. Do not force it right round in a clockwise
direction as this will result in damage to the thermostat.
Note: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking function
must be selected before the oven will operate. Once the
desired function has been selected, use the temperature
selector to set the required temperature.

Pre-heating your appliance

Pre-heating your oven is recommended in cooking and
grilling functions. For best results when baking you must
preheat your oven for 30 minutes.
With "Fan Forced"
1. It is recommended to preheat your appliance when
cooking or baking.
2. Set the desired temperature, by rotating your oven
temperature selector.
When the indicator light above the temperature selector goes
out, the oven has reached the desired temperature, place your
food into the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.
With "Grill"
Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results.
This will help to seal the natural juices of steak, chops and
other meats for a better flavour.
