It gives especially good results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is ideal for use as a warming compartment. It can be used to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
electrolux operation The main oven The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: Preheating The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc.
electrolux operation Defrost feature This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods, which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc. Using the defrost feature • Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting. • When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may come on.

electrolux hints and tips Hints and tips Hints and tips when using the hob • Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on. • Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings. • Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans.
electrolux hints and tips Hints and tips when using the top oven • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. • There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.
electrolux hints and tips • When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time. • It is recommended that when baking larger quantities the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary. • Do not place baking trays directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position.
