Function Description
The Electrolux oven is designed for cooking purposes, suitable for single household domestic use in an indoor environment. It can also be used in offices, hotel guest rooms, bed & breakfast guest rooms, farm guest houses, and similar accommodations where usage does not exceed average domestic levels. The oven features various heating functions to cater to different cooking needs, including:
- True Fan Cooking PLUS / Aqua Clean: Adds humidity during cooking for improved color, crispy crust, and juiciness. Also used for reheating and as a cleaning function.
- True Fan Cooking: Bakes on up to two shelf positions simultaneously and dries food. Recommended temperature is 20-40 °C lower than Conventional Cooking.
- Moist Fan Baking: Energy-saving function for cooking. The cavity temperature may differ from the set temperature, and heating power may be reduced.
- Bottom Heat: For baking cakes with crispy bottoms and preserving food.
- Fan Cooking: Roasts and bakes food at the same cooking temperature on multiple shelf positions without flavor transfer.
- Turbo Grilling: Roasts large meat joints or poultry with bones on one shelf position, makes gratins, and browns food.
- Conventional Cooking: Bakes and roasts food on one shelf position.
- Fast Grilling: Grills thin pieces of food in large quantities and toasts bread.
- Light: Turns on the oven lamp.
The oven is equipped with an electric cooling system that operates automatically to keep the appliance surfaces cool. A safety thermostat is integrated to prevent dangerous overheating by interrupting the power supply and restarting the oven when the temperature drops.
