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.

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.

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.

Fan Assist

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below
the food. The fans circulate the hot air around the oven
cavity so that you can put the food in different places in the
oven and still cook them at the same time. You should only
use a maximum of 2 shelves with “Fan Assist”. Do not use the
bottom shelf. If two shelves are used, food on the shelf in the
higher position will cook first and should then be removed to
allow the food on the lower shelf to finish cooking.

Pizza

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.

“Pizza” is a combination of “Base Heat” and “Fan Bake” and
offers you the combined benefits of both functions. Heat
comes from the elements surrounding the fans 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.

Eco cooking

For energy saving baking and cooking on one shelf position.
Gentle heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans.
The lamps deactivate after 30 seconds.

20 USING YOUR OVEN

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.

Pyro Clean
(WVEP916SB & WFEP915SC models only)

The “Pyrolytic cleaning” function is used for cleaning
the main oven. It cleans by burning off the spatters and
temperature. This process produces ash which can be
wiped out of the oven cavity.

Fast Heat Up

“Fast Heat Up” can be selected in the initial heat up
phase of any cooking function. During “Fast Heat Up” the
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/Pizza”. See Using your programmable controller to
operate the oven instructions for more information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

COOKING GUIDE
(FREESTANDING MODELS)

• For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.

• Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.

• The grill tray can be used in the oven as a baking dish,
except in oven shelf location 1.

• Make sure dishes will fit into the oven 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.

•

Remove unnecessary trays or dishes when roasting
or baking.

COOKING GUIDE (GENERAL)

Roasting Meat

1. 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.)

2. Use the grill/oven dish and grill insert.
Place the meat on the insert.

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

4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the
oven, wrap in aluminium 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.

Grilling Guide

WARNING

Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use.
Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.

Grilling is conducted with the oven door closed

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.

his table shows how to grill different types of meat:

T

Beef Tenderloin, rump, sirloin. Brush with oil

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

Lamb Loin chops, short loin 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.

on Remove rind. Grill flat.

Bac

Guide to better grilling

Steak 15 – 20 minutes
Chops 20 – 30 minutes
Fish 8 – 10 minutes
Bacon 4 – 5 minutes

No definite times can be given for grilling because this
depends on your own tastes 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.

For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:

1.

Preheat grill for at least 5 minutes.

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.

Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this

3.
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.

32 COOKING GUIDE (GENERAL)

Fan Grill

The “Fan Grill” assists the grilling process by circulating
the heat evenly around the food. The recommended
temperature setting is 180°C for all fan grilling functions.

1.

Place the grill dish on the bottom rack.

2. Place meat/poultry on an oven shelf above the grill dish.

3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is
still warm.

CLEANING YOUR OVEN

WARNING

• Always make sure that the oven is electrically isolated
before cleaning. This can be done by
the functional switch nearby.

• Do not line the bottom of the oven with foil
or cookware.

• Do not use steam cleaners.

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.

WARNING

• The door glass on this appliance is made from a
tough, durable material that withstands heating
and cooling without breaking. However, it must be
remembered that it is GLASS, it may break. Treat it
accordingly! Should you have any questions about
the glass in your new appliance, please contact the
customer care centre by dialling 1300 363 640.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in the shattering
of glass.

34 CLEANING YOUR OVEN

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.

• Reverse the above steps to put the grill tray and
shelves back again.

• 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.

Locking tab up - normal position Locking tab down - for cleaning

• 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.

TIPS & INFORMATION

CLEANING YOUR PYROLYTIC OVEN

WARNING

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.

The cooling fan will operate at an increased speed for
Pyrolytic cleaning and will continue to run until the oven
has cooled down. It is recommended to use the Pyro clean
function regularly to keep the oven in its best condition.

Starting the Pyrolytic cleaning function
WFEP915SC

• Make sure all accessories are removed from the oven
including shelves, trays and side racks.

• Turn the oven “Function” selector clockwise to select
the “Pyro” position.

• Use the “+” or “–” buttons on the electronic clock to
select between a pyrolytic cleaning time of 1:30 hours
(light clean) or 2:30 hours (normal clean) for the
appropriate level of cleaning.

• After 5 seconds from the last change, the oven
will begin heating and the “Remaining time” will
be displayed.

The pyrolytic cleaning function can be stopped at any

•
time during the cycle by turning the function selector
counter-clockwise to the “OFF” position.

NOTE: The “Remaining time” does not include cool-down
time for the oven.

Pyrolytic cleaning programmable controller
WVEP916SB

• Switch on the appliance by pressing “On / Off”.

• Press the “Function” button repeatedly until “P1” is
displayed.

• Press the “–” or “+” symbols to choose between “1hrs
30 min” (light clean or “2hrs 30 min” (normal clean)
for the appropriate level of cleaning.

• Press the “Pyro Accept” button to commence the
cleaning process.

• The oven will begin heating and the “Remaining Time”
will be displayed.

• The pyrolytic cleaning function can be stopped at any
time during the cycle by pressing the “On / Off”.

During Pyrolytic cleaning

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).

• Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous items
(e.g. cookware).

• To prevent damage, do not use acids, sprays or similar
cleaning agents.

IMPORTANT

During the pyrolytic cleaning function, it is advisable
not to use a cooktop if it is fitted above the oven. This
could cause overheating and damage to both appliances.

When the temperature in the oven approaches 300˚C,
the door will automatically lock and a padlock symbol
will appear on the display.

After Pyrolytic cleaning

The door will only unlock when the oven has cooled to a
safe temperature. Turning the function off will not unlock
the door.

A

fter cool-down, wipe the ash out of the oven with a
soft damp cloth and warm water. To restore the enamel
shine to more difficult areas, use a damp cloth with
vinegar and detergent.

CAUTION

Do not turn off the mains power supply to the oven
during the pyrolytic cleaning cycle. This could damage
the appliance.

LPG CONVERSION
MODELS WFE904SC, WFE914SC & WFEP915SC

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 6
injectors and 1 LPG sticker.

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

Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps and burner

1.
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.

Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top hat

2.
nut and control pressure spring assembly will disengage
as an assembly.

3.

Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.
Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin

4.
back into the top hat until firm.

Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator

5.
ensuring that it is fully screwed down. The regulator
is now set for connection to LPG.

Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection

6.
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.

The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by

7.
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.

If the regulator appears to not be performing

8.
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.

One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw

9.
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.

TESTING THE OPERATION OF THE GAS COOKER

W

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.

Check the operating pressure for the particular

4.

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 ups
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 whils
pressure to determine if the inlet
pressure is in the range 1.13 – 5kPa.

Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas

2.
supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the
base of the body indicates the direction of
gas flow.

e these checks have been completed, if the regulator

Onc
still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should
be replaced.

tream regulator may be needed, or an

t measuring both the inlet and outlet

hen 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.

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.
