Fan Baking (Fan forced oven models)

  • With fan forced ovens, heat comes from the element surrounding the fan (see diagram below).
  • The fan circulates the hot air and so the temperature is more even throughout the oven.
  • Fan baking:
  • Cooks faster and at lower temperatures than conventional baking
  • Is good when you are cooking food on different shelves at the same time.

NOTE: Some variation in browning is normal with a fan forced oven.

NOTE: 3 Button timer models MUST have the clock set after a power outage to operate oven!

Check the hotplates on your cooker against the diagrams and instructions below before you use your cooker for the first time.

Solid hotplates

Coated hotplates are strong, solid cast hotplates that give a wide contact with pots and pans for fast efficient cooking.

The hotplates are sealed all round with stainless steel trim rings, food spills can't penetrate to make cleaning easier. The hotplates featuring a red dot in the centre indicate the hotplate temperature. Once the hotplate is heated the red dot turns darker.

natural_image Circular gray speaker or button component with a central hole, no text or symbols visible

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 utensil. However, it must be remembered that as it is GLASS, it may break. Treat it accordingly!
  • The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show where the elements under the glass are located (see diagram below).
  • When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light (see diagram below), will come on. When the hotplate is turned off this light will continue to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops below 60°C.

WARNING

• ALWAYS switch the cooker off if the ceramic glass top is cracked or broken.
• DO NOT use aluminium foil on the ceramic hotplates. NOTE: Stored heat in the hotplate can be used for the last few minutes of cooking. Simply turn off the control.

CHOOSING UTENSILS

WESTINGHOUSE GEK1235LWLPG - CHOOSING UTENSILS - 1

text_image GOODBAD BAD (recessed base) BAD (convex base) BAD (undersize) BAD (oversize) (moisture on hotplate) BAD (no utensil)

Look at this diagram above which shows you which utensils to use on the hotplates and which utensils should not be used.

• ALWAYS use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste electricity and cook slowly.
• ALWAYS use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste electricity.
• ALWAYS put pots and pans which are dry on the hotplates.
• DO NOT use pots and pans which are too large.

Pans which overhang the hotplate more than 50mm can damage enamel cooktops.

USING HOTPLATE BURNERS

Using the Burners of your Gas Cooker

Check the hotplates on your cooker against the diagram below before you use your cooker for the first time.

NOTE: To save gas, place pots and pans centrally over the burners and adjust gas so that flames do not go past edges.

Checking gas pressures

The cooker MUST be installed in compliance with:

  • The Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment – AS 5601/AG 601 – issued by Standards Australia (Particular reference to sections 4.8 & 5.12.1).
  • Local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes and other statutory regulations.

The cookers come in two gas types: Natural gas and Propane. Before installation check that the cooker is suitable for the gas supply. To do this check the gas type on the carton sticker or on the data plate behind the bottom of the oven door.

The following table shows the supply and operating pressures for various gas supplies.

GAS TYPE NATURAL GAS PROPANE
Supply Pressure at inlet to appliance regulator (if fitted)1.13 (kPa) Minimum2.75* (kPa)
Operating Pressure at appliance test point1.00 (kPa) 2.75 (kPa)

* If the regulator is placed upstream of the cooker inlet, as is normal for cookers operating on Propane, then the supply pressure and operating pressure are the same.

The following table shows the injector sizes for each burner.

INJECTOR ORIFICE NATURAL GAS PROPANE
Low Heat Burner 1.00 mm 0.62 mm
Medium Heat Burner 1.35 mm 0.82 mm
High Heat Burner 1.60 mm 0.95 mm

Checking pipe size

To work out a suitable pipe size for connection use the information in the table below.

GAS TYPE NATURAL GAS PROPANE
Hourly gas consumption for this cooker57.2 MJ/h56.5 MJ/h

• Information about the length of the run, number of elbows, tees and bends, the available service pressure and the supply requirements.

NOTE: The Code AS 5601/AG 601 will help you with this matter.

INSTALLING THE GAS COOKER

(continued)

Gas connection

Read these points before connecting to the gas supply:

  • The cooker inlet connection point is the inlet to the regulator or LP test point adaptor. This connects to the flexible hose fitted to the appliance. The appliance must be installed using the hose supplied.
  • The regulator/inlet connection must be accessible when the appliance is installed.

Operation on NG/SNG

Read these points about operation on NG/SNG and look carefully at the diagram:

  • The appliance regulator provided MUST be fitted and positioned so that the pressure nipple is accessible.
  • The arrow showing the direction of the flow MUST be pointed correctly.
  • Connect the gas supply to the 1/2" BSP internal thread inlet of the regulator.
  • The flat fibre washer provided with the regulator MUST be used when making the gas connection.

Operation on SNG

  • If the cooker is to be used with SNG, then the grill burner MUST be modified by the replacement of the shutter which fits into the throat of the grill burner.
  • You can buy the kit for this modification from your nearest spare parts stockist. (refer to rear cover for contact details.)

  • Remove the control panel. Remove the existing NG shutter securing screws (as in diagram) and slide upwards to disengage from grill burner.

  • Slide the SNG shutter into position and secure with screws.

WESTINGHOUSE GEK1235LWLPG - Operation on SNG - 1

text_image Grill Shutter

Operation on Propane

An inlet fitting with pressure test point is provided. Orient the fitting so that gas flows in the direction of the arrow marked on the fitting. Use the sealing washer to connect the fitting to the flexible hose. Connect the gas supply to the 1/2" BSP internal thread inlet of the fitting.

Testing appliance operation

(Apparatus: manometer and connecting tube)

After installation, test the appliance and ensure that it operates correctly, before handing it over to the customer. The following procedure is recommended:

  • Check that the manometer zero point is correct; then connect the manometer to the appliance pressure test point. This is located on the Regulator or L.P.G. Inlet Fitting behind the kick panel (or under the Storage Drawer where fitted).
  • Turn on the gas supply and electricity (if applicable) and attempt ignition. (For correct procedure, refer to the Ignition Instructions.) Note that additional time needs to be allowed for the initial lighting as air has to be purged from the pipes.
  • Check the operating pressure for the particular gas-type, as given in the Table on page 23.

For L.P.G. appliances, the regulator in question may be remote from the appliance.

For Natural Gas appliances

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

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:

  1. When all 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 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
