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.
The Cooker The Cooker Removable oven vent Hob with HOTPLATES Control panel with controls, buttons and an information window Oven Storage drawer Plinth 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.

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. Press the catch down when you want to open the door.
The safety equipment Heat the hotplates When supplied, the hotplates have been pretreated with an anti-corrosion product which will provide bet- ter 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 safety equipment The control panel Indicator lights function control OVEN temperature control OVEN controls HOTPLATE Information window Buttons for THE CLOCK The indicator light bulbs These are neon indicator lights, which normally have a long service life.

The hob The hob The cooker has four hotplates. Fast-heating hotplates are marked with a red dot and have an overheating cut-out function. The back left hotplate cannot be used at the same time as the Swift Start, fan-assisted or pizza functions; this prevents a surge of power from overloading the mains.

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.
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 product now needs to be heated on the hot- plates. Heat one hotplate at a time on full power for no more than five minutes.
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).
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 circu- lates in the oven before being drawn back in through the fan grill.

The oven Roasting Using the BOTTOM HEAT ASSISTED OVEN 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.
The oven TURNING OFF When the correct meat temperature has been reached, a sound is emitted and the oven switches off. Press the buttons at the same time turn off the sound. Remove the sensor from the socket in the oven and remove the meat.

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. Swift start (browning) Excellent for browning au gratin dishes, toasted sand- wiches, etc.
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.
The oven To change the oven light bulb Turn all controls to off and check that the oven 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.
