• Data plate – Gives information about the rating and is located behind the bottom of the oven door.

Hard wiring

• 1. Remove rear panel.
• 2. Fit wires through hole at bottom centre using the appropriate gland to protect insulation of wires from the hole edge. Note that the secondary insulation of the wires will probably need to be removed to fit through gland. If the conduit to appliance is required to bend due to rear wall an elbow may be required to achieve this.
• 3. Set the length of wiring from the gland to terminal block, ensuring length is sufficient but not excessive.
• 4. Make connections to terminals and engage wires into plastic clip. Cable tie as per diagram and secure plastic clip with two long screws supplied.
• 5. Replace rear cover.

Wiring connection for gas cooker

To allow for disconnection of the appliance after installation, the plug must be accessible after installation.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Gas connection

Read these points before connecting to the gas supply:

• The cooker inlet connection point has a ½" BSP external thread. See diagram below.

• An NG regulator or a LPG test point fitting is supplied.

• It is recommended to fit the regulator or test point fitting to the appliance connection point, then fit either hard piping or a high level flexible connection (AS/NZS 5601.1 clauses 5.9 and 6.10.1.9) which is then attached to the consumer hard piping.

• Ensure installation allows withdrawal of appliance.

Operation on universal LPG/propane

• 1. The appliance inlet fitting provided MUST be orientated so that the pressure nipple is accessible.
• 2. The inlet fitting has ½" BSP internal thread at the inlet and outlet.

Operation on SNG

• If the cooker is to be used with SNG, then the grill burner MUST be modified by the replacement of the shutter, which fits into the throat of the grill burner.

• A conversion kit can be obtained by contacting the Customer Care Centre.

WARNING

Disconnect electric power before removing control panel.

• 1. Remove the control panel.
• 2. Remove the existing NG shutter securing screw (refer to diagram above) and slide upwards to disengage from grill burner.
• 3. Slide the SNG shutter into position and secure with screws.

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.

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 1.0kPa by more then ± 20% (ie ±0.20kPa 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 1.13-5kPa.

• 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.

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 WLE522WA). Radiant elements also swivel for easy cleaning.

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

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.

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”.

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.

3 BUTTON PROGRAMMABLE CLOCK

Your oven is equipped with a 3 button timer that has the following features:

• Timer - you can set a countdown time that will beep when the set time has elapsed.

• Cook time - you can set cooking duration. A timer will count down the preset cooking time, beep when the time has elapsed and turn the appliance off.

• End time - instead of setting a cooking duration you can set a cooking finish time. When the finish time has been reached the timer will beep and turn the appliance off.

• Delayed start cooking time - you can combine the cooking time and end cooking time to switch oven on and off at a specific time during the day

Selecting the timer

• Press the MODE button until the timer ‘indicator’ begins flashing.

• Set the countdown time you want by using the and buttons. 5 seconds after the last change the timer ‘indicator’ will stop flashing and the countdown will start in minutes.

• To stop the beeper, press any button.

• Maximum countdown time is 2hrs 30mins.

Setting the cooking duration

• Select the desired oven function and temperature.

• The oven indicator light will glow and the heating source will come on.

• Press the MODE button until the cook time ‘indicator’ begins flashing.

• Set the cooking duration you want by using the and buttons. 5 seconds after the last change the cook time ‘indicator’ will stop flashing, and the time of day will be displayed.

NOTE: Remember to add pre-heating time if necessary

Setting the cooking end time

1. Check that the clock displays the correct time of day.

2. Select the desired oven function and temperature. The oven indicator light will glow and the heating source will come on.

3. Press MODE button until the end time ‘indicator’ begins flashing.

4. Enter the time of day you want to finish cooking by pressing or buttons. 5 seconds after the last change, the end time ‘indicator’ will stop flashing and the current time of day will be displayed.

Setting the delayed start cooking time

• Set the cook time and end time as described in the previous sections.

• Once both the cook time and end time have been set, the cook time and the end time ‘indicators’ will stop flashing and the current time of day will be displayed.

• To stop the beeper, press any button.

To check or cancel settings

• To check your settings, press the MODE button until the indicator you want is flashing.

• To cancel ‘delayed start’ press the mode button until a the ‘end time’ indicator flashes. Press and hold the button until the clock no longer reverses (you will hear a beep). If you have left the temperature and function knobs at a setting the oven will start once the ‘end time’ indicator stops flashing.

• To cancel ‘auto shut off’ press the mode button until the ‘cook time’ indicator flashes. Press and hold the button until the clock no longer reverses (at 0:00 you will hear a beep). This automatically cancels ‘delayed start’. If you have left the temperature and function knobs at a setting, the oven will start once the ‘cook time’ indicator stops flashing. Because you have cancelled ‘auto off’ the oven will continue to heat until you manually turn it off.

On completion of cooking

• The heat source will turn off, the timer will beep and the end time and/or cook time ‘indicators’ will flash.

• Even though the heating element turns off the oven will still retain substantial heat. This will continue to cook the food until it is removed or the oven cools down. If you do not plan on being present when the oven turns off, you should take this extra heating time into account.

• Turn the function and temperature controls to the off position.

• Press any button to stop the timer beeping.

Adjusting the clock

• Press the MODE button until the clock ‘indicator’ begins flashing.

• Press the or buttons to change the time of day. 5 seconds after the last change, the clock ‘indicator’ will disappear, confirming the time has been adjusted.

Oven Shelves

• Chrome shelves: use detergent and hot water. If very dirty use a non-abrasive nylon scourer.

Oven – Grill Dish and Insert

• After every use and while still warm, wash pan and grill with warm soapy water and a suitable oven cleaner. Rinse and dry before replacing in position.

Oven

• Use detergent, warm water (and household cloudy ammonia if necessary) and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.
• Remove shelves when the cleaning oven.
• If there is a build-up of grease use a suitable oven cleaner, following the instructions on the cleaning product carefully. Heat oven to 110°C and turn oven off when 110°C is reached. Leave over-night. The fumes will loosen stubborn grease and stains. Remove bowl, wash with hot, soapy water and dry well before closing oven door again. Ensure oven is thoroughly rinsed and dried before subsequent use.

CAUTION DO NOT remove the oven door.

Ceramic hotplates

Remove all spilt food with a razor blade scraper while the hotplate is still warm – NOT HOT.

• If aluminium foil, plastic items or foods with a high sugar content melt onto glass, use a razor blade scraper to remove immediately before the hotplate has cooled, otherwise pitting of the surface may occur. High sugar content foods include jam, fruit, carrots, tomatoes and peas.
• 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.
• When the ceramic hotplate has cooled, wipe clean with dishwashing detergent and a damp cloth.

NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive sponges or scourers, oven sprays or stain removers on ceramic hotplates. These may damage, scratch or stain the ceramic cooktop. Any pitting, staining or scratching WILL NOT be covered by warranty.

Solid hotplates

Solid hotplates are fitted with stainless steel trim rings, which after initial use, change colour to light brown. This is a normal characteristic of stainless steel and will not affect the operation or performance of your hotplates.

• Clean off any spillage after hotplate has cooled down.
• At regular intervals, clean hotplate with a nylon scouring pad and soapy water. Wipe clean then warm hotplate for seconds to dry the surface.
• Apply ‘hotplate protector'. Set hotplate on high for minutes to allow coating to harden.

Radiant hotplates

These plates are self cleaning. Any liquid which boils over will burn to ash and can be wiped off when the hotplate has cooled. To clean the trim rings, lift front of element and remove, then wash in warm, soapy water.

To clean any spillage that falls through the element, remove the spillage tray and wash in warm soapy water.

Gas burners

• Flame port blockages should be removed with a small metal cake skewer or nylon brush.
• Clean dirty spark plugs very gently with a nylon scourer. Do not use steel wool. Do not bend spark plug as it may break.
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a nonabrasive cleaning compound.
• Do not clean these parts with abrasive or caustic type cleaners, or clean in a dishwasher as they will be damaged.

GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS
