USING YOUR OVEN

Understanding your oven functions

Rapid Heat

Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as well as the smaller element above the food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard “Bake”. “Rapid Heat” is ideal for cooking frozen precooked foods such as savoury dishes, 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. Cook in the upper half of the oven for best results.

Fan Bake

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

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The bottom element is a clean heat element and is below the floor of the oven. Both elements are controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature. You can use the “Bake” function for pizza and single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.

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.

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.

1. Turn the function selector to “Rapid Heat”.
2. 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.

Operating the Programmable Controller (WVEP916SB, WVE916SB & WFE946SC)

General features

CLEANING YOUR OVEN

Stainless steel

WARNING

• The oven door trim, the control panel and the storage compartment are decorated with a special stainless steel that resists finger marks and should only be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents on these parts.

NOTE: Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the stainless steel.

• All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or become greasy. You must clean these 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, they can be sharp!

• The stainless steel gas hob can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaners if it becomes soiled or discoloured.

• A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux Customer Care Centres.

Glass

• Glass surfaces on doors and control panels are best cleaned immediately after soiling.

• A damp cloth may help remove baked on food deposits.

Gas hotplate

• The trivets can be removed for cleaning by carefully lifting them from the hob.

• Clean by washing with warm soapy water.

• The burner caps and crowns are also removable for cleaning.

• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a non-abrasive cleaning compound.

• Flame port blockages should be removed by using a matchstick or brush.

• Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic type cleaners, or clean them in a dishwasher.

Ceramic hotplate

• Remove all spilt food and fat with the supplied razor blade scraper, while the ceramic glass is still warm but not hot. Wipe clean with dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth.

• If aluminium foil, plastic items or high sugar content foods are allowed to melt on the ceramic glass, clean immediately with the supplied razor blade scraper before the surface has cooled down, otherwise pitting of the surface can occur.

NOTE: Items with high sugar content not only include jam and fruit, but also vegetables such as peas, tomatoes and carrots.

• When the ceramic glass is cool, apply a suitable ceramic glass cleaner.

• It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. Remove any cleaning residue from the surface as staining of the cooktop may occur.

• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, as they may scratch the surface.

• Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface deterioration is excluded from the warranty.

• 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.

Oven

• Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.

• Always keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish and grill dish inserts clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

• Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.

Grill

• Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

CLEANING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES

Removing the trays and shelves from your appliance

• Slide the dish and grill tray towards you until they reach the front stop.

• Tilt them up at the front to clear the side supports, taking care not to spill the contents.

• Lift them clear.

• Wash the tray and shelves in hot soapy water.

• Ensure that they are placed between the 2 support wires.

Removing the side racks or shelf supports

• Grasp the shelf support at the front.

• Pull it firmly inwards

Cleaning your oven door

The oven door has been designed to allow the two inner door glasses to be removed for cleaning without removing the door from the product.

Removing the inner door glass for cleaning:

• Open the door fully to gain access to the hinges.

• Push down the hinge locking tab as shown in the diagram on both sides of door.

• Gently close the door until it stops in partially open position on the locking tab (the door will not fully close with the locking tab in the down position).

• In this position the top door trim can be removed by pushing each side on the serrated surface to release the clips and lift the trim away from the door.

• To remove the inner glass, tilt top of glass towards the oven and lift out.

• The middle glass is removed in the same way.

• The inner side of outer glass can be cleaned in-situ when inner and middle glass is removed.

• Clean glass using detergent and warm water, wipe clean and dry thoroughly.

Re-assembling the door glass panels:

• Replace the middle glass back to the door. The middle glass is a clear pane and orientation of the glass is not important.

• Replace the inner glass back to the door, ensuring the side with black ceramic paint faces away from the oven cavity when door is closed.

• Fully open the door and return the locking tabs to their normal position and close the door.

Cleaning your oven door

WARNING

• DO NOT use the oven without the inner and middle door glass fitted.

• NEVER spray any caustic cleaners on any surface of the door or damage to the surface coatings will result.

• DO NOT use metal utensils, scrapers, scourers, or abrasive cleaners to clean the glass or any of the door trims. These will damage or scratch the surface coatings and degrade the finish and appearance.

• DO NOT place glass in dishwasher.

• Use only warm water and liquid detergent with a soft cloth to clean the glass or trims.

• Before refitting the glass panes to the door ensure they are dried with a soft cloth.

• The glass edges have been specially ground to remove any sharp edges. However it is glass, and should be handled carefully to avoid injury to your person and damage to the glass.

WARNING

Make sure the appliance power is switched off at the isolating switch before you remove or replace parts, to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Changing the light globes

• There are 2 light globes located in the top of the oven cavity towards the front. The light globe glass is accessible between the passes of the upper element.

• To remove, turn oven light glass anti-clockwise.

• A special high temperature resistant globe should be used. This can be purchased from the customer care centre.

The storage compartment is accessible through the pivoting door.

Unused oven racks and grill dishes can be stored here.

WARNING

DO NOT store flammable or combustible items in the storage compartments. This is not a compartment for warming food.

CLEANING YOUR PYROLYTIC OVEN

WVEP916SB & WFEP915SC

Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven cavity

The oven has the Pyrolytic self-cleaning function, it cleans by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and grease from the oven liner, at high temperature. This process produces ash which can then be wiped out of the oven cavity. It is recommended you clean your oven regularly to keep the oven in its best condition.

• Light clean - this is an energy saving cycle that can be used on a regular basis if the oven is lightly soiled. Possibly after every 2nd or 3rd roast.

• Normal clean - use this as the regular cycle about once every 2-3 months.

Before carrying out the Pyrolytic cleaning function

WARNING

• Clean large deposits, spills or grease from the oven cavity.

• Please keep small children at a safe distance. The appliance becomes very hot.

• Never clean non-stick baking trays and tins in the oven during the pyrolytic cycle. High temperatures damage the non-stick coating and poisonous gas is released.

• Pyrolytic cleaning can release fumes that are not harmful to humans, including infants or persons with medical conditions, however you are strongly advised to provide good ventilation during and after each pyrolytic cleaning process.

• Unlike humans, some birds and reptiles can be extremely sensitive to the potential fumes emitted during the pyrolytic cleaning process. It is strongly advised to remove any pets (especially birds) from the vicinity of the appliance during and after each pyrolytic cleaning process.

• Small pets can also be highly sensitive to the localized temperature changes in the vicinity of all pyrolytic ovens when the pyrolytic self cleaning program is in operation.

CAUTION

• All accessories must be removed from the oven, including shelves, trays and side racks.

• During pyrolytic cleaning the air outlet vent above the door must be kept clear of any obstruction (e.g. tea towels).
