8 electrolux before using the appliance
Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is usually situated on the front
frame of the appliance and can be
seen upon opening either the main or
top oven door. Alternatively the rating
plate may also be found on the back or
top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
The rating of the appliance is given on
the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate
from the appliance as this may
invalidate the guarantee.
Preparing to use your appliance
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with
a soft cloth using hot soapy water.
Wash the furniture before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s)
and grill for 10 – 15 minutes at
maximum temperature, to burn off any
residue from their surfaces. Accessible
parts may become hotter than in
normal use. Children should be kept
away. During this period an odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to
open a window for ventilation.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents
allow some of this steam to escape.
However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) to
allow any build up of steam or heat to
release.
If the steam comes into contact with
a cool surface on the outside of the
appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by a
fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly
wipe away condensation and foodstuff
from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the
rear of the appliance should be
securely fixed to the wall.
Cookware
Do not use baking trays larger than
30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will
restrict the circulation of heat and may
affect performance.
Grill and oven furniture

furniture have been supplied with the
