Conversion to SNG or ULPG (NZ only)

Please contact Electrolux Customer Service for conversion kit and instructions.

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.

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).

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 these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from nominal operating pressure of 1.0kPa (for Natural Gas) or 2.75kPa (for Propane and ULPG) by more than ± 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 flowcapacity may be present in the gas supply line. It may benecessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both theinlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is1.13 - 5kPa for NG, 2.75 - 7 kPa for Propane and ULPG.

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.

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.

warning

For CFG504 models only, do not operate the gas oven and grill together.

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.

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.

• Grill in oven: Grill with door closed.

Hints general

• For best baking results, across all models, 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

•

• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand

• DO NOT use baking trays larger than 30 x 35cm

When baking, it is possible that there will be some variation in colour. Therefore, we suggest to make this simple, easy and delicious test cake to help you understand your new oven. All ovens do sometimes have hot or cold spots, therefore it is important to judge with your eye as you may need to rotate your dishes during baking.

‘Simple Test Cake’

125g butter, softened to room temperature 1 cup caster sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence 4 large eggs 2 cups self-raising flour pinch of salt 4 tablespoons (80mL) full-cream milk

Method:

1. Butter base and sides of two, 20cm straight-sided round

or square cake pans. Then line the base with grease proof paper or baking paper.

2. Preheat oven to moderate ‘180ºC’ (170ºC fan forced) for

30m and ensure oven shelf is in position 2 of the oven.

3. Cream softened butter and sugar until light in colour.

4. Add vanilla essence.

5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

6. Sift flour and salt into the mixture and beat until well

combined.

7. Add milk and beat or stir to combine.

8. Spoon mixture equally between prepared cake pans.

9. Bake in preheated oven, position 2 for about 25 to 35

minutes. Tip: Insert a fine cake skewer into the cake mix. If it comes out clean, or if the edges of the cake have come away slightly from the sides of the cake pan, the cake is ready.

10. Remove from oven and place on wire cake rack and rest for

5 minutes before removing from cake pans. Cool completely.

To Serve: sandwich together with your favourite jam or conserve, and dust top with pure icing sugar.

FOOT NOTE: if desired, substitute butter for either margarine or olive oil spread.

Recipe is based on the Australian standard metric 250mL cup and 20mL tablespoon sets.
