Using the gas cooker
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.
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.
Using the gas cooker
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

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.
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 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. cleaning the cooker
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.

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
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 (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.
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
