• This appliance must be installed by an authorised person according to all codes and regulations as stated in the local municipal building code and other relevant statutory regulations.

• Wiring connections must be in accordance with AS/ NZS 3000 Wiring Rules and any particular conditions of the local authority.

• Refer to data plate for rating information. The data plate is positioned behind the bottom of the oven door.

• Disconnection in the fixed wiring must occur in accordance with the AS/NZS3000 wiring rules.

• Wiring should be protected against mechanical failure. Refer to AS/NZS3000 clauses 3.3.2.6, 3.9, 3.10

• A means of disconnection with a contact separation of at least 3mm must be supplied in the fixed wiring.

• This range must be connected with cable of 75°C rating minimum.

• This product has passed the insulation resistance test after manufacture. If the resistance reading is low at installation, it is probably caused by moisture from the atmosphere being absorbed by the elements after the range has been produced. (Pass at 0.01MΩ AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules Clause 8.3.6.2).

WARNING

This appliance must be properly earthed.

• Do not lift the appliance by the door handles.

• Prepare the cupboard opening to match your appliance measurements. (See diagrams)

• Slide appliance into the cupboard, ensuring that the supply cable (where fitted) does not kink.

• To prevent tipping, use the screws supplied to secure your oven into the cupboard. Use just 2 screws for underbench and separate grill underbench ovens, and 4 screws for separate grill wall ovens. Remove the bottom door in separate grill wall ovens to provide access to the bottom 2 screwing points.

• For appliances fitted with a flexible supply cord, if the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The plug must be accessible after installation.

• Where the appliance is built into a cabinet, the cabinet material must be capable of withstanding 70°C. Installation into low temperature tolerant cabinetry (e.g. vinyl coated) may result in deterioration of the low temperature coating by discolouring or bubbling.

• If the appliance is installed adjacent to vinyl-wrapped surfaces, use an installation kit available from the vinyl-wrap supplier.

• Electrolux Home Products cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by installation into low temperature tolerant cabinets.

• After installation, test and ensure that the appliance operates correctly before handing it over to the customer. It is recommended that this product is not installed in an unvented living space, particularly if that space incorporates sleeping quarters.

Cabinet construction for your appliance

For the best integration within a kitchen, install the appliance in a standard 600mm wide cupboard that gives a flush fit with the surrounding cupboard fronts as shown in Fig. A. A recess of 20 mm is ideal.

With the exception of pyrolytic ovens, the appliance can also be installed using a proud fit to the surrounding cupboard as shown in Fig. B.

CAUTION

For all Pyrolytic clean oven models, the oven must be installed as a flush fit to the surrounding cupboards and the “Infill panel” MUST not exceed 100mm in length. This ensures a 16mm gap is maintained between the cabinet and oven side to prevent the cupboard overheating.

16 INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES

USING YOUR OVEN

Understanding your oven functions

Your oven will have a selection of the following functions. Refer to “Description of your appliance” to confirm what functions are available to you.

Large oven

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 with standard “Bake”. “Rapid heat” is ideal for cooking frozen pre-cooked 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.

Air Fry

Air fry 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.

Bake

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 a single tray of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.

Steam Assisted Cooking (WVEP618 model only)

Perfect for all kinds of meat, poultry and fish dishes. The hot air ensures the outside of the food is sealed whilst the steam keeps the inside tender. Steam comes from the outlet pipe and heat comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan circulates the hot air and steam around the oven cavity so that you can position the food anywhere in the oven. The browning of meat or fish will be perfect, with the best cooking result at the core. Shape will be preserved and evenly firm. Vegetables will retain a high level of nutrients.

NOTE: Steam will only start if the water tank has been filled and the oven temperature is above 130°C.

Fan Forced (Fan Bake for WVEP618 model)

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan circulates 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 Forced” 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 food. 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.
