Testing the gas cooker
WARNING
You MUST test the cooker after installation, before you hand it over to the
customer. You MUST have a manometer and a connecting tube.
INSTALLATION
11
INSTALLATION
Checking the gas supply
1 Check the manometer zero point is correct
2 Connect the manometer to the cooker pressure test point This is located on
the regulator or LPG inlet fitting
3 Turn on the gas supply and the electricity (if applicable) 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.
4 Check the operating pressure for the particular gas type (see ‘Gas Type’
table)
· For LPG cookers: Adjust the regulator if necessary (this may be remote from
the cooker)
· For Natural Gas cookers: Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured
by the component maker for use with Natural Gas The appliance installer is not
required to make an adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting
An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the direction of the gas flow
when the inlet and outlet of the regulator are orientated correctly
5 When the regulator has been fitted check for leaks from the connections with
soapy water
Checking regulator function
With the appliance operating, check the outlet pressure:
1 When all the burners of the appliance are operating at maximum
2 When the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum
Under both these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from nominal
operating pressure of 10kPa by more then ± 20% (ie ±020kPa for Natural Gas)
If the regulator does not appear to be performing satisfactorily then check
the following points:
1 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 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 113-5kPa
2 Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the
correct orientation
3 Replace the regulator if it fails to perform after the checks
Testing Burner Performance
· Observe the flame appearance on each burner when set to max If it is smaller
or larger than expected, then the injector size needs checking (refer to
table)
· When maximum flame appearance is correct, check the turn down setting on
each burner If incorrect, proceed as follows:
WARNING
Disconnect electric power.
1 Remove the control panel and adjust the bypass screw when valve is set to
maximum The screw is mounted on the body of each hotplate control valve
2 Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination
3 Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable
4 When operating correctly, show customer how to use the cooker
5 If not operating correctly, advise the customer to ring Electrolux Customer
Service Centre Place a warning sign on cooker or if dangerous, disconnect
cooker

USING THE GAS COOKER
Gas oven conventional baking
The heat comes from the bottom oven burner The temperature at the centre of
the oven is the same temperature set on the control knob When oven is used on
this mode, shelf position is important, (refer to Oven Guide’) As hot air naturally rises, the upper half of the oven will be approximately 10°C higher and the lower half approximately 10°C cooler than the set temperature For best results from your gas oven use dark coloured trays and baking dishes on a single shelf Refer to
General Hints and Tips’ section for more
information
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes
Gas hotplate
Ensure burner caps, crowns and trivets are properly assembled For wok ONLY use
the trivet and burner dedicated for wok cooking
Burner cap and burner crown must be clean and located correctly for the burner
to light

Gas oven fan forced baking
Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional
baking Most recipe books, unless stated, are for conventional oven
temperatures It is recommended when using the fan forced mode to reduce the
oven temperature by 10°C
In a fan forced gas oven the heat comes from the bottom burner Hot air is
distributed by an electrically operated fan located behind the rear wall of
the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels This means
batches of the same food can be baked using multiple shelf positions
simultaneously
Fan Forced operation can be used for single shelf baking with equal success

ELECTRIC COOKER 19
USING THE ELECTRIC COOKER
Radiant hotplates
The high-speed radiant hotplates heat rapidly from a cold start This saves
power
The hotplates have a tray underneath the hob which collects spilt liquids This
tray can be removed by sliding it out through the open grill door (except
model WLE524WC)
Radiant elements also swivel for easy cleaning
Electric oven conventional baking
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food The bottom
element is hidden below the floor of the oven As hot air rises naturally, the
upper part of the oven will be approximately 10°C higher than the set
temperature and the lower part of the oven approximately 10°C cooler
For grill in oven models, the grill dish must be removed when baking
For best baking results, preheat oven for 30 minutes, also refer to `General
Hints and Tips”
Solid hotplates
The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for fast efficient cooking
Hotplates are sealed to prevent spilt liquids from running under the hotplates
If there is a red dot present in the centre of hotplate, this indicates it is
a high power hotplate
When necessary, apply a coating of hotplate protector to solid plates to
maintain them
Electric oven fan forced baking
In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the rear oven element Hot
air is distributed by a fan behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing
an even temperature on all shelf levels This means, batches of food can be
baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously
Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking with equal success
Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional
baking Most recipe books, unless stated, are typically for conventional oven
temperatures It is recommended that when using the fan forced mode, reduce the
oven temperature by 10 degrees (refer to `Oven Guide’)
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes
Cookware
For best cooking results with electric ovens, silver or shiny trays are
recommended
NOTE: Three button timer models MUST have clock set after a power outage to
operate oven.
Ceramic hotplates
WARNING
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility
of electric shock.
· The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable material
that withstands heating and cooling without breaking However, it must be noted
that as it is glass, it may break, and must therefore be treated with care
Should you have any questions about the glass in your new appliance, please
contact the service centre by dialling 13 13 49
· The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show where the elements under the
glass are located
· When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light will come on After
switching off, this light will continue to glow until the temperature of the
hotplate drops below 60°C

GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS
CAUTION
Using the grill
Separate Grill Grill In Oven
Grill with door open
Grill dish must be fully inserted (Refer to SEPARATE GRILL DISH INSERTION)
Grill with door closed
Fan Forced
· Make sure shelves are evenly spaced
· When baking more than one dish in fan forced oven, place dishes centrally on
shelves rather than several dishes on one shelf
· When the oven is full you may need to allow a slightly longer baking time
· When using different size trays or cooking different types of food, cooking
times may vary for each dish
General hints
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes
The material and finish of baking trays and dishes used will affect the way
foods are baked, especially base browning
· Enamelware, anodised aluminium, dark bakeware or non-stick interiors and
coloured exteriors will assist in maintaining or reducing the baking time and
increase base browning
· Ovenproof glassware or ceramics are poor conductors of heat The shiny
surface of aluminium or polished steel utensils and trays also reflects the
heat rather then passing it through to the food being baked
· Always place dishes in the centre of the shelf to ensure even browning
· Stand casserole dishes on a baking tray to prevent food from spilling onto
the base of the oven
· Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250°C
· Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper ones as this shortens
cooking time in the oven
CAUTION
· DO NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly against the grid covering
the fan at the back of the oven.
· DO NOT place oven dishes directly on the oven base.
TIPS AND INFORMATION
Condensation and steam · During cooking steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door This is quite normal · If there is any
build-up of condensation on the oven door
it is recommended that it be carefully wiped away either during or after
cooking
WARNING
Always stand back from heated oven when opening oven door to allow any build-
up of steam or heat to release.
SEPARATE Grill dish insertion
CAUTION
· DO NOT place dishes, trays or baking pans directly on the oven base as they
become very hot and will crack and craze the oven liner.
· DO NOT use baking trays larger than 30 x 35cm (12 x 14 inches) as they will
restrict the circulation of the heat and may affect cooking performance of the
oven.
Conventional Oven
· The shelf position is critical The temperature in centre of the oven is the
temperature shown on the oven control knob Single shelf baking gives optimal
cooking results
· DO NOT place baking trays, oven dishes or foil directly on the base of oven,
as trapped heat will crack and craze the floor of the oven liner
Ensure this wing touches the rackwire at rear
WARNING
Door glass is a tough and durable material designed to withstand heating and
cooling without breaking. However it must be remembered that it is glass and
may break, therefore must be treated with care. If you have any questions
about the glass in the oven please contact the Service Centre on 13 13 49.
