Dimensions of the appliances

Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is located under-

neath the oven cavity.

During cooking the storage drawer

may become hot if the oven is on

high for a long period of time,

therefore flammable materials

such as oven gloves, tea towels,

plastic aprons etc. should not be

stored in the drawer.

Oven accessories such as baking

sheets, will also become hot,

therefore care should be taken

when removing these items from

the drawer whilst the oven is in use

or still hot.

To light a burner:

1. push the relevant control knob

in completely and turn it

anticlockwise to the maximum

position ( ).

2. then, check the flame is regular

and adjust it as required.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the

control knob to zero, and try again.

If after a few attempts the burner

does not ignite, check that the burner

cap and crown are correctly positioned

(see figure 2 - letter A and B).

To interrupt the supply of gas, turn

the knob in a clockwise direction to the

position " ".

Do not keep the control knob

pressed for more than 15

seconds.

If the burner does not light

even after 15 seconds, re-

lease the control knob, turn it

the "off" position and wait for

at least one minute before try-

ing to light the burner again.

When lighting the hob manually:

Hold a flame near the burner. Never

turn the control knob before approach-

ing the burner with the flame.

When switching on the mains,

after installation or a power cut, it

is quite normal for the spark

generator to be activated

automatically.

If you use a saucepan which is

smaller than the recommended

size, the flame will spread beyond

the bottom of the pan, causing the

handle to overheat.

As soon as a liquid starts boiling,

turn down the flame so that it will

barely keep the liquid simmering.

Take care when frying food in

hot oil or fat, as the overheated

splashes could easily ignite.

Leave the burners to cool be-

fore closing the cover.

If the control knobs become

difficult to turn, please contact

your local Service Force Centre.

electrolux 11

Pottery

Remember that a wide-bottomed

pan allows a faster cooking than a nar-

row one.

Always use pots which properly fit

what you have to cook.

Particularly make sure that the pans

are not too small for liquids, since these

could easily overflow.

Moreover, the pans should not be

too large for a faster cooking. In fact,

grease and juices may spread on the

bottom and burn easily.

It is better to use non-openable

moulds for baking cakes. In fact, an

openable mould lets juices and sugar

leak through, falling on the bottom of the

oven and consequently burning on the

bottom of the baking tray, making

cleaning difficult.

Avoid putting plastic-handled pans

in the oven as they are not heat-proof.

You should use pans with the right

diameter to fit the burner, in order to

make the most out of it, thus reducing

gas consumption as shown in figure 3.

It is also advisable to cover any boil-

ing casserole and, as soon as the liquid

starts boiling, lower the flame enough to

keep the boiling point.

Using the Fan Gas OvenUsing the Fan Gas Oven

Using the Fan Gas Oven

The air inside the oven is heated

by the gas burner and the fan

circulates hot air to maintain an

even temperature inside the oven.

The advantage of cooking with this

function is energy saving through:

z Faster Preheating

As the fan oven quickly reaches tem-

perature, it is not usually necessary to

preheat the oven although you may

find that you need to allow an extra 5-

7 minutes on cooking times. For reci-

pes which require higher tempera-

tures, best results are achieved if the

oven is preheated first, e.g. bread,

pastries, scones, souffles, etc.

z Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires

lower temperatures than conven-

tional cooking.

Follow the temperatures recom-

mended in the cooking chart. Re-

member to reduce temperatures by

about 20°C-25°C for your own reci-

pes which use conventional cooking.

z Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on

all shelf positions. This means that

batches of the same food can be

cooked in the oven at the same time.

However, the bottom shelf may brown

slightly quicker than the upper one.

This is quite usual. There is no mix-

ing of flavours between dishes.

Always cook with the oven

door closed.

When cooking with the fan gas

oven, leave the lid open in

order to avoid overheating.

To use the Fan Gas Oven:

1. Light the oven gas burner as

described in “Using the Gas

Oven”, steps 1 and 2.

2. Upon ignition, turn the “Light-

Grill & Fan” control knob to

position .

The oven fan will start as soon

as the oven cavity reaches the

required cooking temperature.

Grilling must be carried out

with the oven door closed.

How to Use the Grill

1. Turn the “Light-Grill & Fan” clockwise

control knob to position .

2. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner

position to allow for different

thicknesses of food. Position the food

close to the top element for faster

cooking and further away for more

gentle cooking.

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a

few minutes before sealing steaks or

toasting.

• The grill control light will come on

when the "Light-Grill & Fan" control

knob is set.

It will remain on until the correct tem-

perature is reached. It will then cycle

on and off to show that the tempera-

ture is being maintained.

Hints and Tips

- Most foods should be placed on the

grid in the grill pan to allow maximum

circulation of air to lift the food out of

the fats and juices. Food such as fish,

liver and kidneys may be placed

directly on the grill pan, if preferred.

- Food should be thoroughly dried

before grilling to minimise splashing.

Brush lean meats and fish lightly with

a little oil or melted butter to keep

them moist during cooking.

- Accompaniments such as tomatoes

and mushrooms may be placed

Grilling

underneath the grid when grilling

meats.

- When toasting bread, we suggest that

the top runner position is used with

the grid in its 'high' position.

- The food should be turned over

during cooking, as required.

Cooking time depends on the thick-

ness of the meat and not on its weight.

Hints and Tips for using the Gas burners

Start your cooking with a big flame

by turning the knob to the symbol .

Then adjust the flame as necessary.

The outside of the flame is much hot-

ter than its inside (nucleus). Accordingly

, the top of the flame should lick the bot-

tom of the pan. Excessive flames mean

a waste of gas.

In contrast with electric grids, gas

burners do not require flat-bottomed

pans: the flames lick the bottom and

spread the heat all over the surface.

No special pans are required for gas

burners. However, thinwalled pans

transmit the heat to the food more

quickly than thick-walled ones.

Since heat doesn't spread evenly on

the pan's bottom, the food may only be

partially heated. Consequently it is ad-

visable to stir the food many times.

A thick pan bottom prevents partial

overheating as it allows sufficient ther-

mic compensation.

Avoid very small pans. Wide and

shallow pans are more suitable than nar-

row and deep ones as they allow a

faster heating. Cooking is not quickened

by placing narrow pans on wide burn-

ers. The result is just a waste of gas. For

a proper usage, place small pans on

small burners and large pans on large

burners.

Remember to cover pans to reduce

gas consumption.
