Tada! Here’s my very own Elba Electric Oven; model EO-3586. Bought it at Carrefour at RM259.00. Considered a good price because at Jusco, it was RM279.00 and HSL Electrical shop RM270.00. Thank God both places have no stock. If not bought from them already.
Unfortunately, it is a lil bit small to bake a batch of muffins (12 pcs). I can’t place 2 muffin’s tray side by side like what I did with my mom’s electric oven. Like what I did at the above, the bottom tray bakes slower and the surface of the muffins did not crack like it should; just flat like cupcakes surface. I did switch their places after 12 minutes but it is too late for the cracking part. 
Since the muffins are for our own consumption, we have no problem with the look of our muffins. My children picked the non-crack one first to eat. Main thing, must save electricity. 
**********
Since that a few left comment about the control knob, here’s how I uses it.
The control knob:
At 12 o’clock is the Rotate Only.
At 3 o’clock is the Blow Only.
At 6 o’clock is the Rotate and Blow.
For baking cakes, cookies and muffins, I use the Blow function so that the temperature will be distributed evenly. So that the surface of our creation will be nice and brown. Oh ya! For cakes and cookies, I uses Bottom heating (the 3rd knob from above) only because if you use the Top and Bottom heating, the top of your cakes and cookies will get burnt very fast. As for muffins, I use Top and Bottom heating coz muffins get cooked within 15 minutes times and we need the heat to make the top of the muffins crack. 
About the temperature, I use between 150′c to 170′C. All this you got to trial and error.
For Pizza, I use Top and Bottom Heating at 250′C.
Remember this…
Roasting Chicken – Use top and bottom heating for the first half an hour. The other half, use bottom heating only. So that the top of the chicken does not burnt.
Baking Cookies – Use bottom heating only.
Baking Cake – Use the top and bottom heating for 10-15mins (depending on the thickness of the cake) or until the cake has risen. Then bottom heating till done. This is to avoid the top part being burnt and cracked.
The above is the result of my trial and error for a few years.
For recipe and picture of my burnt chicken, visit my recipe below at www.simpledishonline.info. Btw, I am a Nyonya; so if you wanna try some Nyonya dish, they are there too.

Hi hi, I bought the same oven, however I can’t find the instruction manual and have no idea how to use it. Do u have it?
Hi KC,
Yup the oven does not come with instruction manual. You must trial and error. If you read careful my blog post, you will find that I posted the on how to use the oven.
patut la kek tak jadi….sebab guna api atas bawah….atas masak…bawah tak masak…kali nie kena try api bawah je la…..
kenapa kek tak jadi?saya dah guna api bawah…tp saya tak guna kipas,pusing..saya guna pangkah….kek mmg tak jadi…guna oven lain jadi…..
Hi,
how do u find your new oven ?
Is it good for baking? I’m thinking to get one.. debating faber or elba…
Hi, I just bought this oven too. It is RM239 at carefour now. Do you know what is the meaning of the X at the function knob (top most) which is at 9 o’clock?
Thanks for the info. But why you use the rotate function to bake? The rotate function means the skewer for rottisserie is rotating. It has nothing to do with temperature circulation.
Hi there…tq for the info on control knob… just wondering… if I wanna cook lasagna..which control knob should I use.. is it similar with cooking pizza?
May i know where can buy the element such as baking net and bake tray of the Elba Electric Oven EO3586
tq so much for sharing the tips..my mom bought me this oven,but i got no idea how to contol de knob.. baking cake asyik failed je..bcause id use de top+bottom heating..hee so now got the solution! tq
hi,just want to know how’s your elba oven, is it still working well? i am struggling in between elba and cornell, i cant find any comment online about them in terms of reliability and long lasting, so just want to know if you are satisfied with your elba after using it for a few years….
My Elba oven is still serving me well. As good as new.
i also got problem to choose between elba or cornell, coz both oven got strong names in market. anyone have suggestion? tq.
Really, everyone is having the same problem with knobs. And Elba does not supply with a manual book on how to switch to control the knobs.Funny things is either the food or cakes is not cooked or it is burned!(sigh….)and i had not tried it out yet ever since bought it in December 2011!!!
