Frequently Asked Questions - WDE135WA WESTINGHOUSE

How do I set the clock on the WDE135WA?
Press the MODE button until the clock indicator flashes. Use the - or + buttons to adjust the time. After 5 seconds, the clock indicator will disappear, confirming the time is set. The clock uses a 24-hour display.
What is the recommended way to clean the oven door?
The inner door glass is removable. Open the door, rotate the stirrups, close the door until it stops, remove the top trim by pressing the clips, then gently slide out the inner glass. Hand wash only with soft cloth and warm soapy water. Do not use harsh abrasives or place the glass in the dishwasher.
Can I use the oven without setting the clock?
No, if your model has a 3-button programmable clock, you must set the time of day before operating the oven. After a power outage, the clock will flash '12:00' and must be reset.
What are the power requirements for the WDE135WA?
The oven requires a 230-240V supply with a 50A circuit. It must be hardwired with a 6 mm² cable rated at 75°C. A functional switch must be provided nearby.
How do I use the fan forced baking mode?
Select the desired oven temperature using the oven control knob. The fan will circulate hot air evenly. For fan forced mode, reduce the recipe temperature by 10°C compared to conventional baking. Preheat for 30 minutes for best results.
What should I do if the oven does not heat up?
Check that the clock is set (if applicable), the circuit breaker is on, and the oven control knob is turned to a temperature. Also ensure the oven door is closed properly. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
Is it safe to leave the grill unattended?
No. Never leave the grill unattended as fat left on the dish can be a fire hazard. Always keep the grill door open when grilling and turn off immediately after use.
How do I install the anti-tilt plate?
The anti-tilt plate must be installed to prevent tipping. Position it on the rear wall 762 mm from the left side of the wall, aligning with the 'v' at the front of the plate. Securely fix it with fasteners. This is mandatory for safety.
What type of cookware is recommended for the solid hotplates?
Use flat-bottomed pots and pans that fully cover the hotplate. Avoid boiling dry. For maintenance, apply hotplate protector coating periodically. Do not use oversized cookware that may become unstable.
How long is the warranty for the Westinghouse WDE135WA?
The warranty period is 24 months from the date of original purchase in Australia and New Zealand. It covers manufacturing defects but excludes consumables, cosmetic damage, and misuse. Proof of purchase is required.

INSTALLING THE GAS ELEVATED COOKER (CONTINUED)

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.

  1. Check the operating pressure for the particular gas type (see 'Gas Type' table).

  2. For Propane cookers convert NG regulator to suit Propane gas. For detail see pages 27 and 28.

  3. 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 the gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the regulator are orientated correctly.

  4. 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 both these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from nominal operating pressure of 1.0kPa by more then ±20% (ie ±0.20kPa for Natural Gas).

If the regulator does not appear to be performing satisfactorily then check the following points:

  1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then

  2. the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or

  3. an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line. 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.

  4. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation.

  5. Replace the regulator if it fails to perform after the checks.

Testing Burner Performance

  • Observe the flame appearance on each burner when set to max. If it is smaller or larger than expected, then the injector size needs checking (refer to table).
  • When maximum flame appearance is correct, check the turn down setting on each burner. If incorrect, proceed as follows:

WESTINGHOUSE WDE135WA - Testing Burner Performance - 1

WARNING

Disconnect electric power.

  1. Remove the control panel and adjust the bypass screw when valve is set to minimum. The screw is mounted on the body of each hotplate control valve.
  2. Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination.
  3. Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable.
  4. When operating correctly, show customer how to use the cooker.
  5. If not operating correctly, advise the customer to ring Electrolux Customer Service Centre. Place a warning sign on cooker or if dangerous, disconnect cooker.

Ceramic Hotplates

WESTINGHOUSE WDE135WA - Ceramic Hotplates - 1

WARNING

If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

  • The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable material that withstands heating and cooling without breaking. However, it must be noted that as it is glass, it may break, and must therefore be treated with care. Should you have any questions about the glass in your new appliance, please contact the service centre by dialling 13 13 49.
  • The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show where the elements under the glass are located.
  • When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light will come on. After switching off, this light will continue to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops below 60°C.
  • If the ceramic knob is accidentally cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid electric shock.

Solid hotplates

The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for fast efficient cooking.

Hotplates are sealed to prevent spilt liquids from running under the hotplates.

If there is a red dot present in the centre of hotplate, this indicates it is a high power hotplate.

When necessary, apply a coating of hotplate protector to solid plates to maintain them.

Electric oven fan forced baking

In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the rear oven element. Hot air is distributed by a fan behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels. This means, batches of food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.

Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking with equal success.

Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are typically for conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended that when using the fan forced mode, reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees (refer to 'Oven Guide').

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.

Cookware

For best cooking results with electric ovens, silver or shiny trays are recommended.

NOTE: Three button timer models MUST have clock set after a power outage to operate oven.

3 Button Programmable Clock

Your oven is equipped with a 3 button timer that has the following features:

  • Timer 📁 - you can set a countdown time that will beep when the set time has elapsed.
    •Cooktime |→|- you can set cooking duration. A timer will count down the preset cooking time, beep when the time has elapsed and turn the appliance off.
  • Endtime →| - instead of setting a cooking duration you can set a cooking finish time. When the finish time has been reached the timer will beep and turn the appliance off.
  • Delayed start cooking time - you can combine the cooking time and end cooking time to switch oven on and off at a specific time during the day.

Selecting the timer 🔊

  • Press the MODE button until the timer 'indicator' begins flashing.
  • Set the countdown time you want by using the — and +buttons. 5 seconds after the last change the timer 'indicator' will stop flashing and the countdown will start in minutes.
    • To stop the beeper, press any button.
    • Maximum countdown time is 2hrs 30mins.

TIMER COOK TIME 12.00 CLOCK → END: TIME - MODE +

  • The oven indicator light will glow and the heating source will come on.
  • Press the MODE button until the cook time || 'indicator' begins flashing.
  • Set the cooking duration you want by using the — and + buttons. 5 seconds after the last change the cook time 'indicator' will stop flashing, and the time of day will be displayed.

NOTE: Remember to add pre-heating time if necessary.

TIMER I→I COOK TIME 12.00 CLOCK →I END TIME - MODE +

Setting the cooking end time →

  1. Check that the clock displays the correct time of day.
  2. Select the desired oven function and temperature. The oven indicator light will glow and the heating source will come on.
  3. Press MODE button until the end time →|'indicator' begins flashing.
  4. Enter the time of day you want to finish cooking by pressing — or + buttons. 5 seconds after the last change, the end time 'indicator' will stop flashing and the current time of day will be displayed.

TIMER COOK TIME 82.00 CLOCK END TIME - MODE +

Setting the delayed start cooking time

  • Set the cook time and end time as described in the previous sections.
  • Once both the cook time and end time have been set, the cook time and the end time 'indicators' will stop flashing and the current time of day will be displayed.
    • To stop the beeper, press any button.

To check or cancel settings

• To check your settings, press the MODE button until the indicator you want is flashing.
- To cancel 'delayed start' press the mode button until a the 'end time' indicator → | flashes. Press and hold the -button until the clock no longer reverses (you will hear a beep). If you have left the temperature and function knobs at a setting the oven will start once the 'end time' -indicator stops flashing.
- To cancel 'auto shut off' press the mode button until the 'cook time' |→|indicator flashes. Press and hold the -button until the clock no longer reverses (at 0:00 you will hear a beep). This automatically cancels 'delayed start'. If you have left the temperature and function knobs at a setting, the oven will start once the 'cook time' | indicator stops flashing. Because you have cancelled 'auto off' the oven will continue to heat until you manually turn it off.

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.

Adjusting the clock ⏻

  • Press the MODE button until the clock indicator begins flashing.

- Pressthe — or + buttons to change the time of day. 5 seconds after the last change, the clock 'indicator' will disappear, confirming the time has been adjusted.

Gas oven conventional baking

The heat comes from the bottom oven burner. The temperature at the centre of the 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.

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.

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.

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.

Cookware

For best baking results with gas ovens, dark coloured trays and baking dishes are recommended.

Gas oven burner flame

From a cold start the oven burner flame will be higher on the left hand-side. After reaching the set temperature, the flame will become even. This does not affect cooking results.

GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS

WESTINGHOUSE WDE135WA - GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS - 1

CAUTION

Using the Grill

  • Grill with door open.
  • Grill dish must be fully inserted.

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 than 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.

WESTINGHOUSE WDE135WA - General Hints - 1

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.

Using the Fan Forced Oven

• 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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR OVEN

Using the 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.

WESTINGHOUSE WDE135WA - Using the Conventional Oven - 1

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.

WESTINGHOUSE WDE135WA - CAUTION - 1

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.

WESTINGHOUSE WDE135WA - Condensation and Steam - 1

WARNING

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

WESTINGHOUSE WDE135WA - WARNING - 1

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.

Getting to know your new oven with this simple 'Test Cake'

When baking, it is normal to experience some slight variation in temperature throughout the oven, resulting in minor differences in colour of the items being baked. You may need to rotate items whilst cooking to ensure an even colour.

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 180^ C ( 170^ C fan forced) for 30 minutes 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.

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.

GAS CONVERSION PROCEDURE

  1. Turn off gas supply to appliance.
  2. Disconnect appliance from electrical power (if applicable).
  3. Pull off control knobs and remove control panel (2 screws).
  4. Remove grill burner injector and replace with appropriate Injector.
  5. Change the aeration control (shutter) supplied to grill burner. See page 11 of instruction book for grill shutter assembly diagram.
  6. Remove existing hotplate injectors and fit appropriate Injectors supplied.
  7. Remove by pass screw in oven thermostat and fit appropriate by pass screw supplied.
  8. Remove back panel and disengage oven supply pipe from oven burner.
  9. Remove oven injector and replace with injector supplied.
  10. Refit oven supply pipe to burner and replace the back panel.
  11. Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top hat nut and control pressure spring assembly will disengage as an assembly.
  12. Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.
  13. Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin back into the top hat until firm.
  14. Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator ensuring that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is now set for connection to Propane. For detail please see regulator diagram on page 28.
  15. Turn on gas and check for leaks.
  16. The operation of the regulator can be tested by connecting a manometer to the pressure test point located on the side of the regulator body adjacent to the outlet.
  17. With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:
  18. When all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum.
  19. When the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum.
    • Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from the normal outlet pressure of 2.6kPa by more than ±0.52kPa.

  20. 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.

  • Light all burners and operate at maximum.

  • For each hotplate and grill burner adjust the burner to minimum and screw in the bypass screw until a small stable flame results. Adjust the burner to maximum and back to minimum to ensure correct adjustment. The burner should stay alight at minimum setting.

  • Refit the control panel and re-connect to electrical power.

  • Place Propane gas sticker supplied onto rear panel over existing sticker.
