Preparing your appliance for the first time

• Please remove all boxes and bags from inside the oven before operation.
• Please wipe out the oven interior prior to operation with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven is completely dry.
• New appliances can have an odour during first operation. It is recommended to ‘run in’ your oven before you cook for the first time. Run the oven at 180°C for 30 minutes and ensure that the room is well ventilated.

Installing your oven accessories

The type of oven accessories you receive is dependant on the model you have purchased.

1. Shelves and trays

Caution: Ensure the shelves are inserted in the correct orientation, otherwise you may damage the appliance.

Your oven comes with formed “easy clean” shelf supports. The shelves are designed to travel freely on the shelf supports without being pulled out accidentally. Make sure you have the shelf in the correct orientation before you slide it in. Otherwise it could become jammed.

• Locate the rear edge of the shelf in the recess between 2 formed shelf supports. See diagram below.

NOTE: The top ‘ledge’ is not a shelf position.

• With the front edge raised, begin to slide the shelf into the oven. Lower the front edge as you push the shelf fully in.
• The grill/baking tray for underbench oven models sits into a wire carrier that fits into the oven exactly like the shelves.
• The grill/baking tray for separate grill wall oven models slides into the wire runners in a similar manner.
• When fully inserted, the shelf/tray should not interfere with the closed oven door.

2. Main oven wire side racks (where applicable)

The side racks that come with your oven can be attached to either side of your oven.

• Insert the twin pegged side into the rear access holes provided, ensuring that the pegs are fully inserted.
• Then locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly.
• When locating the left side rack into the small oven or grill, ensure the pegs are inserted into the upper two access holes.

3. Separate grill side racks (where applicable)

Separate grill wall ovens come with side racks that are to be fitted to the smaller lower grill/oven.

These can be attached to either side in the following manner:

• Insert the largest peg into rear access hole provided. See diagram above.
• Then locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly.
• When locating the left side rack into the small oven or grill, ensure the pegs are inserted into the upper two access holes.

Operating the Programmable Clock

3 button programmable clock

Your oven is equipped with a 3 button timer that has the following features:

• Timer - you can set a countdown time that will beep when the set time has elapsed.
• Cook time - you can set cooking duration. A timer will count down the preset cooking time, beep when the time has elapsed and turn the appliance off.
• End time - instead of setting a cooking duration you can set a cooking finish time. When the finish time has been reached the timer will beep and turn the appliance off.
• Delayed start cooking time - you can combine the cooking time and end cooking time to switch oven on and off at a specific time during the day.

Using Your Oven

Understanding your oven functions

Your oven will have a selection of the following functions. Refer to “Description of your appliance” to confirm what functions are available to you.

Fan Bake

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan circulates the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can put your food in different places in the oven and still cook them at the same time.

You can use the “Fan Bake” function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating cooked foods, pastries and complete oven meals. It will cook at a lower temperature and be faster than baking. Please note that some variation in browning is normal.

Bake

Heat comes from the elements, one above and one below the food. The bottom element is a clean heat element and is below the floor of the oven. Both elements are controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.

You can use the “Bake” function for single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.

Defrost

The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. You can also use “Defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Fan Grill

“Fan grill” offers you the benefits of both “bake” and traditional “grill” functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain the set temperature while the fan circulates the heated air. The oven door remains closed. You can use “Fan grill” for large cuts of meat. This gives you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked meat. Put your food on a shelf in the second lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf position to catch any spills. When using “Fan grill” it is not necessary to turn the food over during the cooking cycle. Set temperature to 180°C.

Grill

The “Grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the food. You can use the “Grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Maxi Grill

“Maxi grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use the “Maxi grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door closed.

“Maxi grill” allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook faster than normal “Grill”. For best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for 3 minutes. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Separate Grill (where applicable)

The “Grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use the “Grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door open. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. The grill dish is to be positioned between the upper pair of support rails.

Pyro Clean (where applicable)

The “Pyrolytic cleaning” function is used for cleaning the main oven. It cleans by burning off the spatters and temperature. This process produces ash which can be wiped out of the oven cavity.

Pizza (where applicable)

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The bottom element is a clean heat element and is below the floor of the oven. Both elements are controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature. You can use the “Pizza” function specifically for making pizza, using the pizza stone and rack. However, you can also use this function for a single tray of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.

Cooling/Venting fan

Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. It will operate whenever you are using your oven or grill and will blow warm air across the top of the oven door. In some appliances the cooling fan may continue to operate after the appliance is turned off. This is to cool the product.

Condensation

Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may happen when you are cooking large quantities of food from a cold start. You can minimise condensation by:

• Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to a minimum.
• Making sure that 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.

NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to steam and may condense outside your appliance. This is not a problem or fault with your oven.

Operating your oven temperature selector

A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance.

The temperature can be selected within the specified range. To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector in a clockwise direction to the desired setting. An indicator light above the temperature selector will come on. When the temperature is reached, the heating source switches itself off and the indicator light goes out. When the oven temperature falls below the desired setting, the heating source switches on and the indicator light comes on again. Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector back in an anticlockwise direction. Do not force it right round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage to the thermostat.

NOTE: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking function must be selected before the oven will operate. Once the desired function has been selected, use the temperature selector to set the required temperature.

Pre-heating your appliance

Pre-heating your appliance is recommended in cooking and grilling functions. For best results when baking you must preheat your oven for 30 minutes.

With “Fan Bake”

1. It is recommended to preheat your appliance when cooking or baking.
2. Set the desired temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector.

When the indicator light above the temperature selector goes out, the oven has reached the desired temperature, place your food into the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.

With “Grill”

Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results. This will help to seal the natural juices of steak, chops and other meats for a better flavour.

Setting temperatures

The following table displays the temperature settings for recipes which do not show actual temperatures.

Cooking Guide

On completion of cooking

1. Turn the function and temperature controls to the off position.
2. Press any button to stop the timer from beeping.
3. After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.

Cooking guide

• Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
• Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on.
• Keep edges of 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.
• 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. Polyunsaturated fats can leave varnish like residue which is very difficult to remove.
• For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished or non-stick utensils.

Oven shelf location

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 the table on the following page.
Use the oven efficiently by cooking many trays of food at the same time. For example:

• Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.
• Cook a roast dinner at the same time as you cook chips or vegetables.

Choosing the best oven settings

The following table is intended as a guide and experience may show some variation in cooking times necessary to meet individual requirements. For best baking results preheat the oven for 30 minutes.

*Shelf position is counted from the bottom up. Bottom shelf is 1.
# Turn down temperatures and times shown.

Cooking with the pizza stone

WARNING:

Keep out of reach of children.

Always use oven gloves, the pizza stone will retain heat for a long time.

Always place a heat proof surface under the pizza stone to protect benchtops.

The stone may crack if dropped. Handle with care.

Do not use a damage or chipped stone.

Do not put a cold pizza stone into a hot oven. It may shatter the stone.

Pizza ovens cook at high temperatures. Do not leave this cooking process unattended. It must be supervised at all times.

Place the stone on the pizza rack as described in the“ Before operating your appliance for the first time” section.

Use the middle or lower position

TIPS:

Lightly flour the pizza stone to prevent the dough from sticking. Do not use grease or oils.

Close the lower door.

Turn the lower function knob clockwise to the “Pizza” function. Turn the lower oven knob clockwise until it points to “Pizza”. The lower over will now start heating the stone.

Heat the stone for 15 to 20 minutes.

Carefully place the uncooked pizza onto the hot stone. A pizza paddle may help with this (sold separately - contact the customer care team. Refer to the last page for contact details).

Your pizza should be ready between 5 to 8 minutes.

Roasting meat

1. Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier to clean your oven.)
2. Use the grill/oven dish and grill dish insert. Place the meat on the insert.
3. Do not pierce the meat as this will allow juices to escape.
4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminum foil and leave to stand for about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when the meat is carved. The table shows temperatures and cooking times for different kinds of meat. These may vary depending on the thickness or bone content of the meat.

Roasting poultry and fish

1. Place the poultry or fish in an oven set at a moderate temperature of 180°C.
2. Place a layer of foil over the fish for about three quarters of the cooking time.

The table shows temperatures and cooking times for different kinds of fish and poultry. These may vary depending on the thickness or bone content of the meat.

Grilling Guide

Grilling hints

NOTE: Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use. Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.

Depending on your model of appliance, you will grill:

• With the door open, if you are grilling in the separate grill compartment.
• With the door open or closed, if you are grilling in the oven compartment.

As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:

• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry and meat.
• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.

This table shows how to grill different types of meat:

Guide to better grilling

No definite times can be given for grilling because this depends on your own tastes and the size of the food. These times should only be used as a guide and remember to turn the food over halfway through the cooking process.

For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:

1. Remove oven/grill dish and grill dish insert and preheat the grill for about 3 minutes.
2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could result in a fire.
4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated before cooking.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface and will let juices escape.

Fan Grill (multifunction models only)

If your appliance has Fan Grill as a function, this will assist the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly around the food. The recommended temperature setting is 180°C for all fan grilling functions.

1. Use the grill dish insert and oven dish for all Turbo grilling.
2. Position the dish in the lower half of the oven, for best results.
3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is still warm.

There is no need to turn the meat as both sides are cooked at the same time which means that the food is succulent.

Dealing With Cooking Problems

Cleaning Your Appliance

Important:

• Always make sure that the oven is electrically isolated before cleaning. This can be done via the functional switch located nearby. Do not use steam cleaners.
• Do not line the bottom of the oven or grill with foil or cookware as trapped heat will crack and craze the floor of the oven.

Enamel inside oven and grill compartments

• Rub persistent stains vigorously with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers.
  NOTE: You can also use household oven enamel cleaners – follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes.

Oven

• Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.
• Always keep the oven dish, bake trays and grill dish insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.
• Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.

Grill

• Always keep the grill dish insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

Stainless steel

All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or became greasy. You must clean these areas regularly by following the procedures below if you want your appliance to look its best, perform well and have a long life.

Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel edges...they can be sharp!

• Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water.
• If you want a better look, wipe your appliance with a suitable stainless steel cleaner then wipe with a soft lint free cloth.
• Use a stainless steel cleaner only where the stainless steel is extremely dirty and/or discoloured. A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux Service or Spares. See back cover.

Glass

• Glass surfaces on doors are best cleaned immediately after soiling.
• A damp cloth may help remove baked on food deposits.
• Oven cleaners can be used to remove stubborn marks and stains.

Control panel & door trim

• Wash with soapy water and rinse with clean water.
  Wipe dry with a soft, lint free cloth.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes.

Oven accessories

Removing the grill dish and shelves from your appliance

• Slide the shelves towards you until they reach the front stop.
• Tilt them up at the front, taking care not to spill any contents.
• Lift them clear.
• Wash the grill dish, grill dish insert and the shelves in hot soapy water.
• Reverse the above steps to put the grill dish and shelves back again.

Removing the wire side racks (where applicable)

• Grasp the middle wire at the front.
• Pull firmly inwards.
• After cleaning in hot soapy water, reinstall the side racks by inserting the rear pins first.

Removing and replacing the oven back light and side light (where fitted)

• Turn oven back light glass anticlockwise to remove it for globe replacement.
• To remove side light, place a spoon under the light glass and lever off. Replace globe and snap glass cover back into position.
• A special high temperature resistant globe should be used. This can be purchased from Electrolux Customer Care Centre. See last page.

WARNING: Make sure the appliance is turned off before you remove or replace parts, to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Releasing the grill element

Retaining wire models

We have designed the upper element with a hanger clip to help you reach your oven roof for cleaning.

Pyrolytic Cleaning of the Oven Cavity (Pyrolytic models only)

The oven has a pyrolytic self-cleaning function. It cleans by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and grease from the oven liner, at high temperature. This process produces ash which can then be wiped out of the oven cavity. It is recommended you clean your oven regularly to keep the oven in its best condition.

• Light clean - this is an energy saving cycle that can be used on a regular basis if the oven is lightly soiled. Possibly after every 2nd or 3rd roast.
• Normal clean - use this as the regular cycle about once every 2-3 months.

Before carrying out the Pyrolytic cleaning function

WARNING

• Clean large deposits, spills or grease from the oven cavity.
• Please keep small children at a safe distance. The appliance becomes very hot.
• Never clean non-stick baking trays and tins in the oven during the pyrolytic cycle. High temperatures damage the non-stick coating and poisonous gas is released.
• Pyrolitic cleaning can release fumes that are not harmful to humans, including infants or persons with medical conditions, however you are strongly advised to provide good ventilation during and after each pyrolytic cleaning process.
• Unlike humans, some birds and reptiles can be extremely sensitive to the potential fumes emitted during the pyrolytic cleaning process. It is strongly advised to remove any pets (especially birds) from the vicinity of the appliance during and after each pyrolytic cleaning process.
• Small pets can also be highly sensitive to the localized temperature changes in the vicinity of all pyrolytic ovens when the pyrolytic self cleaning program is in operation.

Caution

• All accessories must be removed from the oven, including shelves, trays and side racks.
• During pyrolytic cleaning the air outlet vent above the door must be kept clear of any obstruction (e.g. tea towels).
• Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous items (e.g. cookware).
• To prevent damage, do not use acids, sprays or similar cleaning agents.

Important: During the pyrolytic cleaning function, it is advisable not to use a cooktop if it is fitted above the oven. This could cause overheating and damage to both appliances. The cooling fan will operate at an increased speed for Pyrolytic cleaning and will continue to run until the oven has cooled down. It is recommended to use the Pyro clean function regularly to keep the oven in its best condition.

Starting the Pyrolytic cleaning function

• Turn the oven “Function” selector clockwise to select the “Pyro” function.
• Use the + or – buttons on the electronic clock to select between a pyrolytic cleaning time of 1:30 hours (light clean) or 2:30 hours (normal clean) for the appropriate level of cleaning required.
• After 5 seconds from the last change, the oven will begin heating and the “Remaining time” will be displayed.
• The pyrolytic cleaning function can be stopped at any time during the cycle by turning the function selector counter-clockwise to the “OFF” position.

During Pyrolytic cleaning

When the temperature in the oven approaches 300C the door will automatically lock and a padlock symbol will appear on the display.

After Pyrolytic cleaning

The door will only unlock when the oven has cooled to a safe temperature. Turning the function off will not unlock the door.

After cool-down, wipe the ash out of the oven with a soft damp cloth and warm water. To restore the enamel shine to more difficult areas, use a damp cloth with vinegar and detergent.

Note: The “Remaining time” does not include cool-down time for the oven.
