Using The Oven - Electrolux EKM 6717 X Instruction Booklet

Using the oven

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.
The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that the shelf is correctly positioned.
Attention! - Do not place cookware and objects
directly 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 cooking with the oven or grill, the cover must
be kept open to avoid overheating.
Condensation and steam
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.
When food is heated, it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. When
steam comes in contact of the oven door glass,
it will condense and produce water droplets.
To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is
well heated before placing food in the oven
cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary before any
cooking. We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the appliance.
To open the oven door, always catch the
handle in its central part.
