Separate Grill Grill with door open�
Grill dish must be fully inserted�
(Refer to SEPARATE GRILL DISH
INSERTION)
Grill In Oven Grill with door closed�
General hints
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes�
The material and finish of baking trays and dishes used will
affect the way foods are baked, especially base browning�
• Enamelware, anodised aluminium, dark bakeware or
non-stick interiors and coloured exteriors will assist in
maintaining or reducing the baking time and increase base
browning�
• Ovenproof glassware or ceramics are poor conductors
of heat� The shiny surface of aluminium or polished steel
utensils and trays also reflects the heat rather then passing
it through to the food being baked�
• Always place dishes in the centre of the shelf to ensure
even browning�
• Stand casserole dishes on a baking tray to prevent food
from spilling onto the base of the oven�
• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C�
• Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper
ones as this shortens cooking time in the oven�
WARNING
CAUTION
• DO NOT place dishes, trays or baking pans directly on
the oven base as they become very hot and will crack
and craze the oven liner.
• DO NOT use baking trays larger than 30 x 35cm
(12 x 14 inches) as they will restrict the circulation of the
heat and may affect cooking performance of the oven.
Conventional Oven
• The shelf position is critical� The temperature in centre
of the oven is the temperature shown on the oven control
knob� Single shelf baking gives optimal cooking results�
• DO NOT place baking trays, oven dishes or foil directly on
the base of oven, as trapped heat will crack and craze the
floor of the oven liner�
Fan Forced
• Make sure shelves are evenly spaced�
• When baking more than one dish in fan forced oven, place
dishes centrally on shelves rather than several dishes on one
shelf�
• When the oven is full you may need to allow a slightly
longer baking time�
• When using different size trays or cooking different types
of food, cooking times may vary for each dish�
WARNING
CAUTION
• DO NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly
against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.
• DO NOT place oven dishes directly on the oven base.

Door glass is a tough and durable material designed to
withstand heating and cooling without breaking.
However it must be remembered that it is glass and may
break, therefore must be treated with care. If you have any

CLEANING COOKER
Ovens and hotplates are made from steel and enamel�
Do not use abrasives and harsh scourers as they may scratch
the surface�
Enamel
• Keep enamel clean by wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in
warm soapy water�
• Rub difficult stains with a nylon scourer or cream powder
cleanser�
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel
wool or wax polishes�
• If you use an oven cleaner, follow the instructions on the
product carefully�
Stainless Steel
• All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or
becomes greasy� Clean the cooker regularly, using the
procedures outlined below, to maintain the function and
appearance of your appliance�
• Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel
edges as they can be sharp�
• The front frame around the oven can be cleaned with
stainless steel cleaners if it becomes soiled or discoloured�
• A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux
Customer Care Centres�
• Always clean the stainless steel in the direction of the
grain� Going against the grain may scratch the surface�
Oven Shelves
• Chrome shelves: use detergent and hot water� If very dirty
use a non-abrasive nylon scourer�
Oven – Grill Dish and Insert
• After every use and while still warm, wash pan and
grill with warm soapy water and a suitable oven cleaner�
Rinse and dry before replacing in position�
Oven

110°C is reached� Leave over-night� The fumes will loosen
stubborn grease and stains� Remove bowl, wash with
hot, soapy water and dry well before closing oven door
again� Ensure oven is thoroughly rinsed and dried before
subsequent use�
WARNING
CAUTION
DO NOT remove the oven door.
Ceramic hotplates
Remove all spilt food with a razor blade scraper while the
hotplate is still warm – NOT HOT�
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or foods with a high sugar
content melt onto glass, use a razor blade scraper to
remove immediately before the hotplate has cooled,
otherwise pitting of the surface may occur� High sugar
content foods include jam, fruit, carrots, tomatoes and
peas�
• Sometimes SURFACE stains appear to be ‘bubble’ marks
under the ceramic glass� These can be cleaned off with a
razor blade scraper and ceramic cleaner�
• When the ceramic hotplate has cooled, wipe clean with
dishwashing detergent and a damp cloth�
NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive sponges or scourers, oven sprays
or stain removers on ceramic hotplates. These may damage,
scratch or stain the ceramic cooktop. Any pitting, staining or
scratching WILL NOT be covered by warranty.
Solid hotplates
Solid hotplates are fitted with stainless steel trim rings, which
after initial use, change colour to light brown� This is a normal
characteristic of stainless steel and will not affect the operation
or performance of your hotplates�
• Clean off any spillage after hotplate has cooled down�
• At regular intervals, clean hotplate with a nylon scouring
pad and soapy water� Wipe clean then warm hotplate for
30 seconds to dry the surface�
• Apply ‘hotplate protector'� Set hotplate on high for
3 minutes to allow coating to harden�
Radiant hotplates
These plates are self cleaning� Any liquid which boils over
will burn to ash and can be wiped off when the hotplate
has cooled� To clean the trim rings, lift front of element
and remove, then wash in warm, soapy water�
To clean any spillage that falls through the element, remove
the spillage tray and wash in warm soapy water�
Gas burners
• Flame port blockages should be removed with a small
metal cake skewer or nylon brush�
• Clean dirty spark plugs very gently with a nylon scourer�
Do not use steel wool� Do not bend spark plug as it
may break�
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a non-
abrasive cleaning compound�
• Do not clean these parts with abrasive or caustic type
cleaners, or clean in a dishwasher as they will be damaged�
