Conventional Oven | Electrolux EPSOS specification

The Conventional Oven

When using this setting, heat comes from both the top and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as quiches and flans.

Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven.

ΦHowovento use the conventional

1.Turn the oven function control knob to the required cooking function ().

2.Turn the thermostat control knob to the required tem- perature.

Top oven element only

This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.

Bottom oven element only

This function is particularly useful when blind-baking pastry. It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked through.

THINGS TO NOTE

•The thermostat control light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show the temperature is being maintained.

•The cooling fan will operate continually during cooking. It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not switch on at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the oven has only been used for a short time.

Hints and Tips

The middle shelf position allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position.

The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier.

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10 °C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

One of the standout features of the EPSOS is its advanced induction cooking technology. Induction cooking uses magnetic fields to directly heat pots and pans rather than the surface of the cooktop, resulting in faster cooking times, precise temperature control, and enhanced energy efficiency. This technology not only reduces cooking durations but also preserves the nutritional value of the food by enabling rapid heating and cooling.

In addition to induction heat, the EPSOS integrates smart technology that allows for seamless connectivity with mobile devices. Users can access recipes, set cooking schedules, or even monitor their meals remotely. This feature ensures that cooking is not only convenient but also allows for multitasking in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. The ability to control oven settings from a smartphone adds to the overall flexibility of meal preparation, making it easier for individuals with busy schedules to manage their cooking.

Moreover, the EPSOS is designed with sustainability in mind. It features Eco Mode, which optimizes energy consumption during use, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of home cooking. The sleek and stylish design, characterized by a user-friendly interface, enhances the aesthetic appeal of any kitchen while making operations intuitive. The streamlined buttons and touch controls provide access to various settings and functions effortlessly.

The appliance is also equipped with high-performance steam cooking capabilities. This feature stands out for its ability to preserve flavor, texture, and nutrients in food, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious consumers. The steam cooking functionality allows for diverse culinary applications, from steaming vegetables to baking delicate pastries.

Furthermore, the EPSOS is designed with durability in mind. Its premium materials and construction ensure a long life span, providing excellent value for the investment. Easy-to-clean surfaces and removable components contribute to the lower maintenance requirements, allowing users to spend more time enjoying their meals rather than cleaning up.

Overall, the Electrolux EPSOS represents the perfect blend of advanced technology, sustainability, and user-friendly design, setting a new standard for modern kitchen appliances. With its sophisticated features, it empowers users to explore new culinary horizons while minimizing their ecological impact.
