Electrolux D98000VF operating instructions Before Using the Appliance

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the 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 and hot soapy water and 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.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on after a short time when the hob, grill/second oven and main oven is in use. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

TOUCH CONTROL SENSORS

This appliance is operated using touch control sensors. Functions are controlled by touching sensor fields and confirmed by displays and acoustic signals. Touch the sensor fields from above, without covering other sensor fields.

SWITCHING THE HOB ON/OFF

The hob must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme. When the on/off touch sensor ( ) is pressed and held, the hotplate settings will show in the electronic display.

To switch off the hob, you can press and hold the on/off touch sensor ( ) at any time. Any cooking functions or programme will stop.

After switching on, within approximately 10 seconds a heat setting or function must be set, otherwise the appliance automatically switches itself off.

SWITCHING THE OVEN ON/OFF

The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme. When the on/off touch sensor ( ) is pressed and held, the cavity symbol will show in the electronic display.

To switch off the oven, you can press and hold the on/off touch sensor ( ) at any time. Any cooking functions or programme will stop, the interior-lighting will switch off and the electronic display will show the time of day only.

After switching on, within approximately 10 seconds a heat setting or function must be set, otherwise the appliance automatically switches itself off.

OPERATING TIME

The operating time display shows how long the oven has been operating. This display can only be seen if none of the clock functions Countdown ( ), Cook

Time ( ) or End Time ( ) are set.

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 also soilage from surfaces.

For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.
