BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
TIPS AND INFORMATION
Setting the time
If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic or programmable timer,
you must set the time of day before you can operate your appliance.
After electrically connecting the appliance, you must set the time of the day
before you can operate your oven.
Touch control electronic clock model wfe914SB,
WVE914SB
- After the appliance has been electrically connected “12.00” will be displayed and the “clock” indicator will flash.
- To set the time of day, press – or +. 5 seconds after the last change, the “clock” indicator will disappear, confirming the time has been set.
NOTE: The clock has a 24-hour display. Programmable Controller: models WFEP915SB, WFE946SB, WVEP916SB, WVE916SB
- After the appliance has been electrically connected, the set clock symbol will flash on the clock display.
- To set the time of day, press – or +. 5 seconds after the last change the timer arrow will disappear, confirming the time has been set. Once the time has been entered, the clock advances minute by minute.
NOTE: The clock has a 24-hour display. Preparing your appliance for the first time
- Please remove all internal boxes and bags from the oven before operation.
- Please wipe out the oven interior prior to operation with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven is completely dry.
- New appliances can have an odour during first operation. It is recommended to ‘run in’ your oven before you cook for the first time. Run the oven at 180°C for 2 hours and ensure that the room is well ventilated.
- DO NOT line the oven with foil, it will damage the enamel.
INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES
Prior to installing accessories, remove all packaging and remove plastic film
from external panels.
Side racks
The side racks that come with your oven are fitted in the following manner:
- Insert the rear peg into the rear access hole provided, ensuring peg is fully inserted.
- Then locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly.
Shelves and trays
The shelves are designed so that they have maximum travel but cannot be
accidentally pulled right out. The trays are designed in the same way and fit
straight into the side racks.
- Locate the rear edge of the shelf/tray in between 2 guide rails of the side rack – see diagram. Ensure the same rail positions on both sides of the oven are being engaged.
- With the front edge raised, begin to slide the shelf into the oven.
- Once the indents have passed the front edge of the side rack, the shelf can be pushed completely in.
- When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with the closed door.
Installing burners
- The burner crown must be fitted correctly into the burner cup or damage will occur during operation.
- To do this, ensure that the 2 ribs on either side of the spark plug hole are positioned into the 2 slots on the burner cup.
- The burner cap and burner crown must be clean and located correctly for the burner to light.
NOTE: When the burner is correctly fitted it will sit level on the hob.
INSTALLING YOUR COOKTOP ACCESSORIES
Installing trivets
- The rubber feet on the trivets locate into the contours of the hob
- Take care when placing the trivets as dropping them may damage the hob or trivet
- The wok trivet sits on top of the trivet above the wok burner
Using your gas hotplates
Note: Gas controls turn anti-clockwise from ‘Off’ and have limited
movement. INSTALLING BURNERS AND TRIVETS
Lighting the burners
Electronic ignition
These hobs are fitted with mains powered electronic ignition. When the
appliance has been connected and the power is on, depressing any knob will
release sparks to all burners. To light a burner, depress the corresponding
knob and while continuing to depress knob turn anticlockwise to ‘HI’ position.
The knob may be released once the flame is established, and turned further
anti-clockwise to reduce the flame height as desired.
Flame safeguard models WFE914SB & WFEP915SB
Models with flame safeguard have the same ignition procedure as electronic
ignition, but require the knob to continue to be depressed after flame is
established for approximately 5 seconds. If the flame goes out when the knob
is released, simply depress the knob again, this time holding it down with
slightly more force for the same length of time.
WARNING
- Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
- If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try lighting again.
- Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’ settings only.
ENVIRONMENT
To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame
so that it does not go past the edge of the cookware.
NOTE: In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition directly
to the burner with a hand held ignition source.

Ceramic hotplates Model wfe946SB
The cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable material that
withstands heating and cooling without breaking. It is strong enough to hold
the heaviest utensils.
However, it must be remembered that as it is GLASS, it may break. Treat it
accordingly!
Should you have any questions about the glass in your new appliance, please
contact the service centre by dialling 13 13 49.
- Single cooking zone small 1200W
- Single cooking zone medium 1800W
- Triple cooking zone 2300/1600/800W
- Multi-purpose double cooking zone 2200/1400W
WARNING
If the ceramic glass is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the
possibility of electric shock.
The heating elements are concealed under the smooth glass surface which has a
pattern to show the location of the elements.
- Use pans with smooth, clean and dry bottoms to avoid scratching or burning residue into the glass.
- Ensure the pan bottom is the same size as the working element.
- We do not recommend ceramic glass pans because they do not conduct heat well.
- Stainless steel or enamelled saucepans are best.
- Do not use pans with copper or aluminium bottoms because they can leave traces which are difficult to remove from the glass.
- If buying new utensils select enamelled steel pans with 2-3mm thick bottoms or stainless steel pans with sandwich bottoms 4-6mm thick. The pan bottom should be flat, or preferably, slightly concave at room temperature so that it lies flat on the glass surface when hot.
ENVIRONMENT
The bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same size

Understanding your oven functions
USING YOUR OVEN
The following lists the oven functions available with the programmable
controller (models WFEP915SB, WFE946SB, WVE916SB and WVEP916SB). Multifunction
models (WFE914SB and WVE914SB) have all oven functions except for Fan Assist,
Pizza and Fast Heat Up.
Rapid Heat Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as well as
the smaller element above the food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30%
quicker than on standard “Bake”. “Rapid Heat” is ideal for cooking frozen
precooked foods such as savoury dishes, pastries, pizzas, mini meals (TV
dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Simply place the food in the oven straight
from the freezer and heat – ideal for busy people. Cook in the upper half of
the oven for best results.
Fan Bake Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans. The fans
circulate the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can put your food in
different places in the oven and still cook them at the same time. You can use
the “Fan Bake” function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating cooked foods,
pastries and complete oven meals. It will cook at a lower temperature and be
faster than baking. Please note that some variation in browning is normal.
Bake/Pizza Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the
food. The bottom element is a clean heat element and is below the floor of the
oven. Both elements are controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off
to maintain the set temperature. You can use the “Bake” function for pizza and
single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked
puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.
Base Heat Heat comes from the element below the floor of the oven. The
Element is controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain
the set temperature. The “Base Heat” function can be used to add extra
browning to the bases of pizzas, pies and pastries. Cook in the lower half of
the oven when you are using only one shelf. For best results, use silver or
shiny trays.
Fan Assist Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the
food. The fans circulate the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can
put the food in different places in the oven and still cook them at the same
time. You should only use a maximum of 2 shelves with “Fan Assist”. Do not use
the bottom shelf. If two shelves are used, food on the shelf in the higher
position will cook first and should then be removed to allow the food on the
lower shelf to finish cooking.
Pizza “Pizza” is a combination of “Base Heat” and “Fan Bake” and offers
you the combined benefits of both functions. Heat comes from the elements
surrounding the fans as well as theclean heat element below the oven floor.
The “Pizza” function is ideal for foods that require cooking and browning on
the base. It is great for foods such as pizzas, quiches, meat pies and fruit
pies. Simply place the food in the middle of the oven and set the desired
temperature.
Eco cooking For energy saving baking and cooking on one shelf position.
Gentle heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans. The lamps deactivate
after 30 seconds.
Defrost The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air that is
circulated by the fans. You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it.
You can also use “Defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to dry fruit,
vegetables and herbs.
Fan Grill “Fan Grill” offers you the benefits of both “Bake” and
traditional “Grill” functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain
the set temperature while the fans circulate the heated air. The oven door
remains closed for fan grill. You can use “Fan Grill” for large cuts of meat
to give you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked meat. Put your
food on a shelf in the second lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the
lowest shelf position to catch any spills. When using “Fan Grill” it is not
necessary to turn the food over during the cooking cycle. Set the temperature
to 180°C.
Grill The “Grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element
onto the food. You can use the “Grill” function for tender cuts of meat,
steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods.
Grill with the oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the
best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc.
for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2
spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.
Maxi Grill “Maxi Grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper
elements onto the food. You can use the “Maxi Grill” function for tender cuts
of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking
foods. Grill with the oven door closed. “Maxi Grill” allows you to take full
advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook faster than normal
“Grill”. For best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for 3
minutes. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a
better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces
within the upper pairs of support rails.
Pyro Clean (WVEP916SB & WFEP915SB models only) The “Pyrolytic cleaning”
function is used for cleaning the main oven. It cleans by burning off the
spatters and temperature. This process produces ash which can be wiped out of
the oven cavity.
Fast Heat Up “Fast Heat Up” can be selected in the initial heat up phase
of any cooking function. During “Fast Heat Up” the heat comes from the
elements surrounding the fans as well as the smaller element above the food.
This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard
“Bake/Pizza”. See Using your programmable controller to operate the oven
instructions for more information.
Cooling/Venting fan
Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents your
kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces the condensation inside the oven.
It will operate whenever you are using your oven or grill and will blow warm
air across the top of the oven door. In some appliances the cooling fan may
continue to operate after the appliance is turned off. It will switch off by
itself once oven is cool
Condensation
Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may happen when you are
cooking large quantities of food from a cold start. You can minimise
condensation by:
- Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to a minimum.
- Making sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
- Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller than the water container.
- Cooking casseroles with the lid on.
NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to steam and may
condense outside your appliance. This is not a problem or fault with your
oven.
Operating your oven temperature and function selectors model WFE914SB &
WVE914SB
To set the oven, turn the function selector to the desired cooking function
and then turn the temperature selector to the desired temperature. An
indicator light above the temperature selector will come on. When the
temperature is reached the heating source switches itself off and the
indicator light goes out. When the oven temperature falls below the desired
setting, the heating source switches on and the indicator light comes on
again.
Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector off in an anti-
clockwise direction. Do not force it right round in a clockwise direction as
this will result in damage to the thermostat. Turn the multifunction selector
off. Preheating your oven with “Rapid Heat”
To preheat your oven select the “Rapid Heat” function.
This function allows your oven to reach the preset temperature quicker than
any other cooking function.

COOKING TEST
Get to know your new oven with this ‘Simple Test Cake’
Although we strive for a perfect performing oven, it’s possible that there
will be some variation in colour when baking. Therefore, we suggest this
simple, easy and delicious to make Simple Test Cake, it can help you
understand your new oven. All ovens do sometimes have hot or cold spots,
therefore it is important to judge with your eye as you may require to rotate
during baking.
‘Simple Test Cake’
125g butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
4 large eggs
2 cups self-raising flour pinch of salt
4 tablespoons (80ml) full-cream milk
Method:
- Butter base and sides of two 20cm straight-sided round or square cake pans. Then line the base with grease proof or baking paper.
- Preheat oven to moderate ‘180ºC’ (170ºC fan forced) and ensure oven shelf is in the centre position of oven.
- Cream softened butter and sugar until light in colour.
- Add vanilla essence.
- Then eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift flour and salt into the mixture and beat until well combined.
- Add milk and beat or stir to combine.
- Spoon mixture equally between prepared cake pans.
- Bake in preheated oven, middle shelf for about 25 to 35 minutes or until when tested with a fine cake skewer it comes out clean, or the edges of the cakes have come away slightly from the sides of the cake pans.
- Remove from oven to wire cake rack and rest for 5 minutes before removing from cake pans. Cool completely.
To Serve: sandwich together with your favourite jam or conserve, and dust top
with pure icing sugar.
NOTE: If desired substitute butter for either margarine or olive oil
spread. Recipe is based on the Australian standard metric 250ml cup and 20ml
tablespoon sets.
- For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
- Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
- The grill tray can be used in the oven as a baking dish, except in oven shelf location 1.
COOKING GUIDE
- Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on.
- Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat and ensures even cooking.
- Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
- Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with other foods. This will cause food to steam and not brown.
- After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
- Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and the oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave residue which is very difficult to remove.
- When cooking things which require a high heat from below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone tray in the desired shelf position.
- For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished or non-stick utensils.
- Remove unnecessary trays or dishes when roasting or baking.
Oven shelf location
Your oven has seven positions for shelves.
These are numbered from 1 (the lowest shelf position) to 7 (the highest shelf
position). See diagram. To give maximum space above and below the shelves,
load them in this way:
- When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3 or 4.
- When cooking with 2 shelves, use position 3 and 5.
Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the same time. For example:
- Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.
Choosing the best oven settings
The following table is intended as a guide and experience may show some
variation in cooking times necessary to meet individual requirements. We
recommend that you preheat your oven for 30 minutes.

Roasting Meat- Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier to clean your oven.)
- Use the grill/oven dish and grill insert. Place the meat on the insert.
- Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to escape.
- When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand for about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when the meat is carved. The table shows temperatures and cooking times for different kinds of meat. These may vary depending on the thickness or bone content of the meat.
MEAT | RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE | MINUTES PER KG |
---|---|---|
Beef | 180°C – 200°C | Rare Medium Well done |

Grilling Guide
WARNING
Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use. Excessive fat build up may
cause a fire.
Grilling is conducted with the oven door closed
As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:
- Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry and meat.
- Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.
This table shows how to grill different types of meat:
Beef| Tenderloin, rump, sirloin. Brush with oil or melted butter, especially
if the meat is very lean.
---|---
Lamb| Loin chops, short loin chops, chump chops, and forequarter chops. Remove
skin or cut at intervals to stop curling. Brush with oil or melted butter.
Sausages| Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.
Poultry| Divide into serving pieces. Brush with oil.
Fish| Brush with oil or melted butter and lemon juice.
Bacon| Remove rind. Grill flat.
Guide to better grilling
Steak | 15 – 20 minutes |
---|---|
Chops | 20 – 30 minutes |
Fish | 8 – 10 minutes |
Bacon | 4 – 5 minutes |
No definite times can be given for grilling because this depends on your own
tastes and the size of the food. These times should only be used as a guide
and remember to turn the food over halfway through the cooking process.
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
- Preheat grill for at least 5 minutes.
- Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside remains raw.
- Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could result in a fire.
- Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated before cooking.
- Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface and will let juices escape.
Fan Grill
The “Fan Grill” assists the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly
around the food. The recommended temperature setting is 180°C for all fan
grilling functions.
- Place the grill dish on the bottom rack.
- Place meat/poultry on an oven shelf above the grill dish.
- Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is still warm.

- If aluminium foil, plastic items or high sugar content foods are allowed to melt on the ceramic glass, clean immediately with the supplied razor blade scraper before the surface has cooled down, otherwise pitting of the surface can occur.
NOTE: Items with high sugar content not only include jam and fruit, but also vegetables such as peas, tomatoes and carrots.
- When the ceramic glass is cool, apply a suitable ceramic glass cleaner.
- It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. Remove any cleaning residue from the surface as staining of the cooktop may occur.
- Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, as they may scratch the surface.
- Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface deterioration is excluded from the warranty.
- Sometimes surface stains appear to be ‘bubble’ marks under the ceramic glass. These can be cleaned off with a razor blade scraper and ceramic cleaner.
Oven
- Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.
- Always keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish and grill dish inserts clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.
- Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.
Grill
- Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.
CLEANING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES
Removing the trays and shelves from your appliance
- Slide the dish and grill tray towards you until they reach the front stop.
- Tilt them up at the front to clear the side supports, taking care not to spill the contents.

CLEANING YOUR PYROLYTIC OVEN
WVEP916SB & WFEP915SB
Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven cavity
The oven has the Pyrolytic self-cleaning function, it cleans by burning off
the spatters and accumulated dirt and grease from the oven liner, at high
temperature. This process produces ash which can then be wiped out of the oven
cavity. It is recommended you clean your oven regularly to keep the oven in
its best condition.
- Light clean – this is an energy saving cycle that can be used on a regular basis if the oven is lightly soiled. Possibly after every 2nd or 3rd roast.
- Normal clean – use this as the regular cycle about once every 2-3 months.
Before carrying out the Pyrolytic cleaning function
WARNING
- Clean large deposits, spills or grease from the oven cavity.
- Please keep small children at a safe distance. The appliance becomes very hot.
- Never clean non-stick baking trays and tins in the oven during the pyrolytic cycle. High temperatures damage the non-stick coating and poisonous gas is released.
- Pyrolitic cleaning can release fumes that are not harmful to humans, including infants or persons with medical conditions, however you are strongly advised to provide good ventilation during and after each pyrolytic cleaning process.
- Unlike humans, some birds and reptiles can be extremely sensitive to the potential fumes emitted during the pyrolytic cleaning process. It is strongly advised to remove any pets (especially birds) from the vicinity of the appliance during and after each pyrolytic cleaning process.
- Small pets can also be highly sensitive to the localized temperature changes in the vicinity of all pyrolytic ovens when the pyrolytic self cleaning program is in operation.
CAUTION
- All accessories must be removed from the oven, including shelves, trays and side racks.
- During pyrolytic cleaning the air outlet vent above the door must be kept clear of any obstruction (e.g. tea towels).
- Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous items (e.g. cookware).
- To prevent damage, do not use acids, sprays or similar cleaning agents.
IMPORTANT
During the pyrolytic cleaning function, it is advisable not to use a cooktop
if it is fitted above the oven. This could cause overheating and damage to
both appliances. The cooling fan will operate at an increased speed for
Pyrolytic cleaning and will continue to run until the oven has cooled down. It
is recommended to use the Pyro clean function regularly to keep the oven in
its best condition.
Pyrolytic cleaning
- Switch on the appliance by pressing “On / Off”.
- Press the “Function” button repeatedly until “P1” is displayed.
- Press the “–” or “+” symbols to choose between “1hrs 30 min” (light clean or “2hrs 30 min” (normal clean) for the appropriate level of cleaning.
- Press the “Pyro Accept” button to commence the cleaning process.
- The oven will begin heating and the “Remaining Time” will be displayed.
- The pyrolytic cleaning function can be stopped at any time during the cycle by pressing the “On / Off”.
During Pyrolytic cleaning
When the temperature in the oven approaches 300˚C, the door will automatically
lock and a padlock symbol will appear on the display.
After Pyrolytic cleaning
The door will only unlock when the oven has cooled to a safe temperature.
Turning the function off will not unlock the door.
After cool-down, wipe the ash out of the oven with a soft damp cloth and warm
water. To restore the enamel shine to more difficult areas, use a damp cloth
with vinegar and detergent.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the mains power supply to the oven during the pyrolytic
cleaning cycle. This could damage the appliance.
Storage
Cleaning your oven door
WARNING
- DO NOT use the oven without the inner and middle door glass fitted.
- NEVER spray any caustic cleaners on any surface of the door or damage to the surface coatings will result.
- DO NOT use metal utensils, scrapers, scourers, or abrasive cleaners to clean the glass or any of the door trims. These will damage or scratch the surface coatings and degrade the finish and appearance.
- DO NOT place glass in dishwasher.
- Use only warm water and liquid detergent with a soft cloth to clean the glass or trims.
- Before refitting the glass panes to the door ensure they are dried with a soft cloth.
- The glass edges have been specially ground to remove any sharp edges. However it is glass, and should be handled carefully to avoid injury to your person and damage to the glass.
WARNING
Make sure the appliance power is switched off at the isolating switch before
you remove or replace parts, to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

- Gas installation must be made in accordance with AS/NZS5601.1, the local gas fitting regulations, municipal codes and other statutory regulations.
- The gas connection point is a ½” BSP external thread located at the rear of the appliance as shown.
- The regulator is to be fitted to the manifold inlet at the rear of the appliance and the connection is sealed using a tape or jointing compound suitable for gas connections. The consumer piping is then connected to the inlet of the regulator, either
1. directly, or
2. using a hose assembly and in accordance with Clause 6.10.1.9 of AS 560101 (High level connection) together with the supplied elbow. The elbow is fitted to the inlet of the regulator and oriented to allow the hose to hang downward. The connection thread between the regulator and elbow is sealed using a tape or jointing compound suitable for gas connections.
LPG CONVERSION MODELS WFE914SB & WFEP915SB
This appliance is supplied set up for Natural Gas usage. A conversion kit is
included with the product for Universal LPG usage. The conversion kit contains
6 injectors and 1 LPG sticker.
Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit UNIVERSAL LPG is
required:
-
Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps and burner crowns to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the factory fitted injectors with the appropriate injectors,as supplied. Refer to injector orifice table for injector sizes. The injector size is stamped on the side of the injector.
-
Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top hat nut and control pressure spring assembly will disengage as an assembly.
-
Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.
-
Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin back into the top hat until firm.
-
Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator ensuring that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is now set for connection to LPG.
-
Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection check for leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate valve should be turned on, one at a time, and the injector hole blanked off for several seconds.
-
The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by connecting a manometer to the pressure test point located on the side of the regulator body adjacent to the outlet.
With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:
• when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum,
• when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum.
Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 2.60kPa by more than ±0.52kPa. -
If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily then check the following points:
• If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line. If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 2.75 – 7.00kPa.
• Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.
• Check that the turret screw is fully screwed down.
• Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.
Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced. -
One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw in the bypass screw (accessible when the knob is removed) until a small stable flame results. Turn the knob to maximum and then back to minimum to ensure that the correct minimum flame is maintained.
-
Attach the LPG sticker to the cooker, near the gas supply inlet. Cover the Natural Gas label that is factory fitted.
NOTE: You MUST test the cooker after installation, before you hand it
over to the customer. You MUST have a manometer and a connecting tube.
TESTING THE OPERATION OF THE GAS COOKER
Checking gas supply
-
Check the manometer zero point is correct.
-
Connect the manometer to the cooker pressure test point. This is located on the regulator or LPG inlet fitting.
-
Turn on the gas supply and the electricity and try to ignite the gas.
NOTE: It will take additional time to light the gas for the first time as air needs to be purged from the pipes. -
Check the operating pressure for the particular gas type.
Checking the function of the regulator
With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:
- when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum,
- when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum.
Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal
outlet pressure by more than ±20% of the nominal outlet pressure (ie ±0.20kPa
for Natural Gas).
If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily then check the
following points.
- If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line. If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 1.13 – 5kPa.
- Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.
Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to perform
in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.
Testing the cooker features
- Observe the flame appearance on each burner. If it is much smaller or larger than expected, then the injector size needs checking.
NOTE: When flame is unsatisfactory, then refer to the Electrolux
Technical Publications and correct the fault, if possible.
When maximum flame appearance is correct, then check the turn-down setting on
each burner. If the settings appear to be incorrect, proceed as follows:
- Adjust the bypass screw mounted on the body of each hotplate control cock. This is accessible when the control knob and the control panel are removed.
- Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination.
- Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable.
- If you are satisfied that the cooker is operating correctly, then turn it off and show the customer how to use it. Make sure you ask the customer to operate the clock and controls.
NOTE: If the cooker cannot be adjusted to perform correctly, then inform the customer of the problem and put a warning notice on the cooker. If the problem is dangerous, then disconnect the cooker. If there is a fault, then the customer should be advised to contact the manufacturer’s local service organisation or the retailer.
