7INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES

USING THE HOTPLATE

Hotplate dos and dont’s

• Do not place heat resistant mats, wire mats or
aluminium foil under pots and pans.

• Do not allow pots and pans to boil dry, as damage to
both pan and hotplate may result.

• Do not use the hotplate as extra bench space or as a

cutting board.

• Do not allow children on or near the cooktop at any
time.

• Do not allow large cookware to overhang the
hotplate onto the adjacent benchtop. This will cause
scorching to the benchtop surface.

• Do not use round bottom woks or similar utensils
which could lead to overheating of the hotplates and
possible damage to the cooking surface.

• Use the stored heat in the hotplate by turning the

control to off before the final few minutes of cooking.

• Do not slide pans across the surface of the ceramic

glass as it could result in scratching of the surface.

Ceramic hotplates

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.

The heating elements are concealed under the smooth
glass surface which has a pattern to show the location
of the elements. When cooking, turn the control to the
required setting.

The ceramic cooktop glass will retain heat for a period of
time after the control is turned off. This will be indicated
by the hot surface warning light which will continue to
glow until the temperature drops below 60°C.

NOTE: If the ceramic glass is cracked switch off the
appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

• 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.

GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING

WARNING

TIPS & INFORMATION

WARNING

WARNING

General hints

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
non-stick 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 in the centre of the shelf to
ensure even browning.

• Stand casserole dishes on a baking tray to prevent
food from spilling onto the base of the oven.

• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.

• Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper
ones as this shortens cooking time in the oven.

CAUTION

• 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.

• 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.

CAUTION

• 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.

TIPS AND INFORMATION

Condensation and Steam

• 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.

WARNING

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

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.

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

• 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.

GUIDE TO BETTER GRILLING

CAUTION

Using the Grill

Separate Grill Grill with door open.

Grill dish must be located on slides.
Slides must be fully pushed in while
grilling.

Grill In Oven Grill with door closed.

WARNING

Always clean the grill tray and grill tray insert after every
use. Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.

For separate grill models, the door must be open while
grilling. Ensure grill slides are fully inserted while grilling.
Always switch the grill off immediately after use.

What is grilling?

• The grill directs heat from the heat source in the grill
compartment onto the food.

• This way of cooking traps the juices inside the food
and increases the flavour.

• Grilling is suitable for tender cuts of meat, steak,
chops, sausages, fish and other foods which cook
quickly.

As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:

• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry
and meat.

• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural
juices.

This table shows how to grill different types of meat:

Beef You can use tenderloin, rump, sirloin.

Brush with oil or melted butter, especially
if the meat is very lean.

Lamb You can use loin chops, shortloin chops,

chump chops, and forequarter chops.
Remove skin or cut at intervals to stop
curling. Brush with oil or melted butter.

Sausages Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.

Poultry Divide into serving pieces. Brush with oil.

Fish Brush with oil or melted butter and

lemon juice.

Bacon Remove rind. Grill flat.

No definite times can be given for grilling because
this depends on your own taste and the size of the
food. These times should only be used as a guide and
remember to turn the food over halfway through the
cooking process.

Steak 15 – 20 minutes

Chops 20 – 30 minutes

Fish 8 – 10 minutes

Bacon 4 – 5 minutes

For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:

1. Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best
results. This will help to seal the natural juices.

2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is
less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more
than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the
inside remains raw.

3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this
prevents fats and oils from draining away, which
could result in a fire.

4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil
or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated
before cooking.

5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface
and will let juices escape.

WARNING

Safety warnings about the grill

• Do not cook food on the bottom of the grill

compartment. Always use the grill dish and grill
dish insert.

• Do not place foil under the food on the grill dish
insert, as this prevents fats and oils running away and
may cause a fire.

• Always use the grill parts according to instructions.

• Do not put thick pieces of food too near the element.

They may curl and catch fire.

• Always turn the grill off immediately after cooking.

Left-over fat may cause a fire.

• Always clean the grill dish and insert after use.

Fat build up may cause a fire.

• Do not let children play with the grill.

• Do not let children use the grill without adult

supervision.

• Do not leave the grill unattended when on.

• Be careful not to touch hot surfaces.

• Do not spray aerosols near the grill, when it is

turned on.

• Do not keep flammable materials in or near the grill,

eg chemicals, aerosols, etc.

OPERATING THE 120 MINUTE MECHANICAL RINGER TIMER
(WHERE SUPPLIED)

Operating your 120 minute ringer timer

To set the timer, simply turn the knob clockwise to the
required number of minutes.

Note: For any time below ten minutes, turn the knob past
the thirty minute mark, then turn it back to the required
number of minutes.

14 120 MINUTE TIMER

USING THE OVEN

Fan baking

The temperature in the oven is controlled by a thermostat.
The fan distributes the heat throughout the oven
compartment. This allows:

• Baking on all shelves at the same time with little
variation in browning or cooking.

• Cooking at slightly lower temperatures.

• Cooking from a cold start so there is no need to
preheat the oven – this is good for casseroles and
fruit cakes.

• Good cooking results for cream mixtures, rich
pastries and bread but with these foods, preheating
the oven for 10 to 15 minutes is required.

Defrosting

• Defrosting uses air that is circulated by the fan.

• You should defrost food before cooking it.

• You can also use the defrost function to raise yeast
dough and dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Condensation

Condensation fogs the oven door and happens when
you are cooking large quantities of food from a cold start.
You can minimise condensation by:

• Keeping the amount of water used in cooking to
a minimum;

• Making sure that the oven door is firmly closed;

• Cooking casseroles with a lid.

NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to
steam and may condense outside the oven. This is not a
problem or a fault.

Cooking guide

• Select the correct shelf location for food being
cooked.

• The grill tray can be used in the oven as a baking dish.

• Make sure dishes will fit into the oven and remove
unnecessary trays or dishes before you switch it on.

• Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the
side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat
and ensures even cooking.

• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.

• Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven
with other foods. This will cause food to steam and
not brown.

• After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for
some time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry
bread.

• Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will
prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and
the oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave residue
which is very difficult to remove.

• When cooking things which require a high heat from
below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone
tray in the desired shelf position.

• For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished
or non-stick utensils.

Oven shelf location

Your oven comes with formed “easy clean” runners that
allow five positions for shelves These are numbered from

1 (the lowest shelf position) to 5 (the highest shelf
position). See diagram.

To give maximum space above and below the shelves,
load them in this way:

• When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3.

• When cooking with 2 shelves, use positions 2 and 4.

Roasting Meat

• You can use the grill tray and grill tray insert for
roasting meat in the oven.

• Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature
between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to
wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to
prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier
to clean your oven.)

• Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to
escape.

• When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the
oven, wrap in aluminum foil and leave to stand for
about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when
the meat is carved.

The table shows temperatures and cooking times for
different kinds of meat. These may vary depending on the
thickness or bone content of the meat.

LPG CONVERSION DONG YANG –
IMPORTANT (MODELS WFE517, WFE616 AND WFE619 ONLY)

This appliance is fitted with Natural Gas burner injectors.

Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit
UNIVERSAL LPG is required.

The conversion kit contains 5 injectors and 1 LPG sticker.

1. Remove the hotplate burners to access the hotplate
injectors. Replace the factory fitted NG injectors with
the appropriate injectors, as supplied.

2. Unscrew the hex nut from the regulator. The hex nut,
brass washer and nylon insert will disengage as an
assembly.

3. Unclip the nylon insert from the nut assembly by
rotating the insert 1/4 turn, and pulling it free.

4. Turn over the insert, and clip back into position.

5. Refit the hex nut assembly to the regulator ensuring
that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is now set
for connection to LPG.

6. Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection
check for leaks using soapy water: each hotplate
valve should be turned on, one at a time, and the
injector hole blocked off for several seconds.

7. The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by
connecting a manometer to the pressure test point
located on the side of the regulator body adjacent
to the outlet. 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 of 2.60kPa by
more than ±0.52kPa.

8. If the regulator appears to not be performing
satisfactorily then check the following points:

• 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 2.75
– 7.00kPa.

• Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.

• Check that the turret screw is fully screwed down.

• 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.

9. One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw
in the bypass screw (accessible when the knob is
removed) until a small stable flame results. Turn the
knob to maximum and then back to minimum to
ensure that the correct minimum flame is maintained.

10. Attach the LPG sticker to the cooker, near the gas
supply inlet. Cover the Natural Gas label that is
factory fitted.

LPG CONVERSION CHANT –
IMPORTANT (MODELS WFE517, WFE616 AND WFE619 ONLY)

This appliance is supplied set up for Natural Gas usage.
A conversion kit is included with the product for Universal
LPG usage. The conversion kit contains 5 injectors and 1
LPG sticker.

Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit
UNIVERSAL LPG is required:

1. Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps and burner
crowns to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the
factory fitted injectors with the appropriate injectors, as
supplied. Refer to injector orifice table for injector sizes.
The injector size is stamped on the side of the injector.

2. Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top
hat nut and control pressure spring assembly will
disengage as an assembly.

3. Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.

4. Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin
back into the top hat until firm.

5. Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator ensuring
that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is now set
for connection to LPG.

6. Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection
check for leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate valve
should be turned on, one at a time, and the injector
hole blanked off for several seconds.

7. The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by
connecting a manometer to the pressure test point
located on the side of the regulator body adjacent to
the outlet.

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 of 2.60kPa by
more than ±0.52kPa.

8. If the regulator appears to not be performing
satisfactorily then check the following points:

• 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 2.75 – 7.00kPa.

• Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.

TESTING THE OPERATION OF
THE GAS COOKER

NOTE: 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 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.

NOTE: For LPG cookers: Adjust the regulator if necessary
(this may be remote from the cooker).

For Natural Gas cookers

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 gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the
regulator are orientated correctly. When the regulator
has been fitted check for leaks from the connections
with soapy water.

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 is 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
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.
