COOKING GUIDE
Cooking guide
•
Select the correct shelf location for food being
cooked.
•
Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before it is
switched on.
•
Keep edges of non Electrolux baking dishes at least
40mm from the side of the oven. This allows free
circulation of heat and ensures even cooking.
•
Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
•
Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven
with other foods. This will cause food to steam and
not brown.
•
After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some
time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
•
Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will
prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and
the oven door.
•
When cooking items that require a high heat (e.g.
tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone tray in the
desired shelf position.
•
For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright
finished or non-stick cookware.
Condensation
Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may
happen when you are cooking large quantities of food
from a cold start. Minimise condensation by:
•
Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to
a minimum.
•
Making sure the oven door is firmly closed.
•
Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller
than the water container.
•
Cooking casseroles with the lid on.
If water is being used in cooking, it will turn to steam
and may condense outside your appliance. This is not a
problem or fault with the appliance.
Oven shelf location
The oven has 7 positions for shelves (as shown in the
diagram below). To give maximum space above and below
the shelves, load them in this way:
When cooking with 1 shelf, position at 1 or 2.
When cooking with 2 shelves, position them at 2 and 6.
For more detailed shelf locations. Refer to cooking tables
for individual cooking functions.
Oven shelf location (EVEP604 and EVEP606 only)
Your oven comes with formed "easy clean" shelf supports
that allow five positions for shelves. These are numbered
from 1 (the lowest shelf position) to 5 (the highest shelf
position). See diagram.
In general:
•
When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3.
•
When cooking with 2 shelves, use positions 2 and 4.
For more specific recommendations refer to page 54 & 55.
