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 8 positions for shelves (as shown in the
example 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.
