The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram. It is important that the shelf is correctly positioned. Do not place cookware directly on the oven base. 4 3 2 1 Condensation and Steam The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may be produced which can be released when opening the oven door. However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. electrolux 53 When food is heated, it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. When steam comes in contact of the oven door glass, it will condense and produce water droplets. To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is well heated before placing food in the oven cavity. A short oven preheating (about 10 minutes) will then be necessary before any cooking. We recommend you to wipe away condensation after each use of the appliance. To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part. Hints and tip for using the oven Traditional cooking As heat originates from top and bottom, dishes should preferably be placed in the middle. If cooking requires more heat from the bottom or the top, use the upper or lower level. Fan cooking Heat is produced by a circular heating element placed at the back of the oven and transmitted to dishes by hot air forcibly circulated by a fan. By this method, heat is quickly and evenly circulated throughout the oven, permitting several different dishes to be cooked at the same time on different levels. With this cooking method, through the elimination of humidity in the air and a drier environment, smells and tastes are not given off and do not mix with those of other dishes. You can also cook 54 electrolux on only one level. In this case, it is advisable to place the dish on the lower level for better cooking control. This oven is particularly suitable for defreezing rapidly, sterilizing preserves, homemade jams and, finally, for drying mushrooms and fruit. For the cooking of cakes Pre-heat the oven, unless indicated differently, for at least 10 minutes before use. Do not open the oven door when cooking dishes which must raise (e. g. raised pastries and soufflés); the jet of cold air would block the raising process.
