Freestanding cooker with electric ceramic hob and multi-function electric oven
Control Panel
Testing the operation of the gas cooker
Checking 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 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.
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.
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. 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.
2. 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:
1. 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.
2. Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination.
3. Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable.
4. 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.
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
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.
Prior to installing accessories, remove all packaging and remove plastic film from external panels.
Auto Off timer
If your appliance is fitted with a mechanical “Auto Off” timer, make sure it is set to “Off” marker for manual operation.
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.

The minutes will then flash and can be set in the same manner as above. 5 seconds after the last change, the clock display will stop flashing, confirming that the time has been set.
NOTE: The clock has a 24-hour display
INSTALLING BURNERS AND TRIVETS
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 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 (WFE916DSD & WFEP917DSD only).
Trivet installation sequence
Install the middle trivet first by aligning the trivet with the wok burner and gently placing the trivet on hob.
The middle trivet is designed to guide the location of the side trivets. Gently place the side trivets in the orientation shown.
Flame safeguard
Models with flame safeguard 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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKTOP
Ceramic hotplates (WFE946SD)
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
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.

USING YOUR OVEN
Understanding your oven functions
Rapid Heat
Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as the smaller element above the food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than the standard “Bake”. “Rapid Heat” is ideal for cooking frozen precooked foods such as savoury 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
AirFry
AirFry enables advanced convection cooking function without having to turn the food, giving crispy great tasting results in a shorter time without all the oil. This is suitable for french fries, chicken wings, nuggets and similar products
Fan Bake/ Fan forced
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
“Pizza” is a combination of “Base heat” and “Fan bake” and offers you the combined benefits of both functions. Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as the clean 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
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.
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.
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 (on selected models)
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.
Turn the function selector to “Rapid Heat”.
Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector. When the indicator light above the temperature selector goes out, the oven has reached the desired temperature. Select the oven function you require for cooking or baking and place the food in the oven.
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.
