Gas oven features and descriptions

1. Burner Control Knob – sets burner temperature.

2. Grill Control Knob – sets grilling temperature.

3. Oven Control Knob – sets oven temperature.

4. Timer 60 Minute (where fitted) – sets reminder time. When timer returns to zero, timer gives a short ring.

NOTE: for any time below 15 minutes, turn knob past 15 minutes, then back to required time setting.

5. Manual Grill or Oven Igniter or Hotplates – ignites grill burner, oven burner or hotplates when appropriate control knobs are set.

6. Light Switch (where fitted) – turns oven light on/off.

7. Fan Switch – turns oven fan on/off.

Gas oven conventional baking

The heat comes from the bottom oven burner. The temperature at the centre of 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 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.

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes before turning on the fan.

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 burner flame

From a cold start the oven burner flame will be higher on the left hand-side. After reaching the set temperature, the flame will become even. This does not affect cooking results.

LIGHTING GAS HOTPLATE, GRILL AND OVEN

Electronic ignition with flame safeguard

This hob is fitted with mains powered electronic ignition. When the appliance has been connected and the power is on, depressing ignite button will release sparks to all burners. To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anticlockwise to ‘HI’ position. The flame sensor must warm-up in order for the flame to stay alight.

The knob may be released once the flame is established, and turned further anticlockwise to reduce the flame height as desired.

• Before releasing the knob, ensure the knob is fully depressed.
• If the flame goes out when the knob is released, simply repeat the ignition procedure again.

Hotplate Ignition – (Manual)

To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob approximately 5 seconds, turn anti-clockwise to 'HI' position. At the same time, hold hand-ignitor next to the burner and ignite (hand-ignitors not supplied). The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight

Grill Ignition – Electronic

While pressing the electronic ignitor switch, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anti-clockwise to HI' position. The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight.

Grill Ignition – Piezo

Depress the grill control knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anticlockwise to 'HI' position. The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight.

Grill – in Oven

Grill is electric and is operated by control knob only.

Oven Ignition – Electronic

While pressing the Electronic Ignitor Switch, push turn and hold the Oven Control Knob to the desired temperature. Hold Control Knob in for 15 seconds after ignition.

Oven Ignition – Piezo

With the left hand push and hold the Oven Control Knob in and turn it a quarter of the way anti-clockwise. Keep the oven Control Knob pushed in firmly and at the same time push the Oven Piezo Ignitor button on the right hand side of the control panel (several times if necessary). It will make a loud ‘clack’ noise as the Piezo mechanism creates a spark. Hold control knob in for 15 seconds after ignition

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.

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.

general hints and tips

Using the Grill

• Separate Grill: Grill with door open.

Grill dish must be fully inserted.

• Grill in oven: Grill with door closed.

Hints general

• 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 nonstick 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 centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning
• Stand casseroles dishes or similar-type dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of oven to make cleaning of oven easier
• 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
• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250°C
• 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
• Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper ones as this shortens cooking time in 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.

Fan Forced

• 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
• 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 tips

Condensation and Steam

• Always stand back from heated oven when opening oven door to allow any build-up of steam or heat to release
• 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.

Cleaning the cooker

Ovens and hotplates are made from steel and enamel. Do not use abrasives and harsh scourers as they may scratch the surface

Do not use steam cleaners

Stainless Steel

• All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or become greasy. You must clean these areas regularly by following the procedures below if you want your appliance to look its best, perform well and have a long life
• Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel edges as they can be sharp
• The front frame around the oven can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaners if it comes soiled or discoloured
• A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux Customer Care Centres
• Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the steel.

General

• Always clean appliance after use, especially food spillage. DO NOT use steel wool, wax polishes or caustic based commercial cleaners as these will damage your oven
• DO NOT use steam cleaners, as this may cause moisture build-up especially in the glass door
• Door Glass – DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

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.

cleaning the cooker

Oven

• Do not remove the oven door
• Make sure oven knobs are in the off position
• Clean immediately after use as a warm oven is easier to clean
• Use detergent, hot water (and household ammonia/ cloudy ammonia if necessary) and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.
• Remove shelves when cleaning oven
• If there is a build-up of grease, place a small oven proof dish containing ¼ cup (62mL) household ammonia/cloudy ammonia and ¾ cup (187mL) water in the oven. Heat oven to 110 degrees and turn oven off when 110 degrees 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.

Oven Shelves

• Chrome shelves: use detergent and hot water. If very dirty use a non-abrasive nylon scourer
• Enamel dishes and tray: use detergent and hot water. If very dirty a non-abrasive nylon scourer
• DO NOT clean oven parts with abrasive or caustic-type cleaners.

Oven – Grill Dish and Insert

• After every use, and while still warm, sprinkle grill insert with detergent and cover with wet paper towel as this will loosen food particles and grease
• Wash pan and grid with hot, soapy water with a little household ammonia/cloudy ammonia added. Rinse and dry before replacing in position.

Ceramic Hotplates

• Clean with detergent and hot water and polish with a soft cloth
• For harder to clean spills a blade scraper is supplied
• Aluminium foil, plastic and high sugar content food can cause pitting if not removed before the hotplate has cooled.
• 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.

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 hot plate has cooled down
• At regular intervals, clean hotplate with a nylon scouring pad and soapy water. Wipe clean then warm hotplate for 30 seconds to dry the surface
• Apply ‘hot plate protector’’. Set hotplate on high for 3 minutes to allow coating to harden.

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.

Cleaning the Oven Door

Cool air circulates through the door to lower the surface temperature on the outside of the oven door.

• Do not remove the oven door
• This product has a removable inner door glass.

To remove the inner door glass for cleaning

• Open the door fully to access the hinges then rotate the “stirrups” on both hinges fully towards the door.

• Slowly close the door until it stops against the ‘stirrups’ (about 45°)

• To remove the top trims (2 off), press the ribbed release clips at each end and lift top trim away from the door

• Using both hands, gently remove the inner glass by sliding out and lifting away from the door

• Wipe inner and outer glass gently with detergent and warm water

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 preadjusted 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 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 appears to not 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 cooker features

• Observe the flame appearance on each burner. If it is smaller or larger than expected, then the injector size needs checking
• If the flame is unsatisfactory, then refer to the Electrolux Technical Publications and correct the fault if possible
• When maximum flame appearance is correct, check the turn down setting on each burner. If incorrect, proceed as follows:

warning

1. Disconnect electric power.
2. Remove the control panel and adjust the bypass screw mounted on the body of each hotplate control cock.
3. Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination.
4. Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable.
5. When operating correctly, show customer how to use the cooker.
6. If not operating correctly, advise the customer to ring Electrolux service. Place a warning sign on cooker or if dangerous, disconnect cooker.
