Frequently Asked Questions - WLG503WB WESTINGHOUSE

How do I light the oven burner?
For electronic ignition, press the Electronic Ignitor Switch while turning the Oven Control Knob to the desired temperature. Hold the knob in for 15 seconds after ignition. For piezo ignition, push and hold the Oven Control Knob, turn it anticlockwise, and press the Oven Piezo Ignitor button until the burner lights. Hold the knob for 15 seconds.
What should I do if a burner does not light within 5 seconds?
Turn the knob to the 'Off' position, allow the gas to disperse for at least one minute, then try lighting again. If the problem persists, check that the burner cap and crown are clean and correctly positioned, and that the gas supply is on.
Why is there condensation on the oven door during cooking?
Steam produced during cooking may condense on the door. This is normal. Wipe away condensation carefully after cooking. To reduce it, reduce water usage in recipes or leave the door open briefly after cooking.
How do I set the clock on my oven?
After connecting power, '12.00' will flash. Press the MODE button until the clock indicator flashes, then use '-' or '+' to set the time. The clock has a 24-hour display and must be set before using the oven.
What type of cookware is recommended for best results?
For gas ovens, dark coloured trays and baking dishes are recommended. For electric hotplates (if applicable), shiny utensils are better. Always use ovenproof cookware that withstands 250°C.
How should I clean the oven door glass?
The inner glass can be removed for cleaning. Open the door, rotate the stirrups, close to stop, remove top trim, slide out the glass. Hand wash with warm soapy water, dry thoroughly, and reassemble. Do not use harsh abrasives or place glass in dishwasher.
What is the purpose of the anti-tilt device?
The anti-tilt plate and stabilising bolt must be installed to prevent the cooker from tipping forward, especially if a child climbs on the open oven door. Follow the installation instructions to secure the cooker safely.
Why does the oven not heat up?
Electric cookers: Check that the clock is set and not in a programmed mode. Gas cookers: Ensure gas supply is on, ignition electrodes are clean and dry, and burner caps are correctly fitted. Also check that the circuit breaker or fuse is not tripped.
How do I replace the oven light?
Switch off the appliance at the power supply. Use a special high-temperature resistant globe (available from Electrolux Customer Care). Remove the glass cover, replace the globe, and refit the cover. Light globes are not covered by warranty.
What is covered by the warranty?
The warranty covers faulty parts and workmanship for 24 months from purchase in Australia and New Zealand. Exclusions include light globes, cosmetic damage, misuse, improper installation, and normal wear and tear. Proof of purchase is required for claims.

Testing the gas cooker

WARNING

You MUST test the cooker after installation, before you hand it over to the customer.

You MUST have a manometer and a connecting tube.

INSTALLATION

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 or LPG inlet fitting.
  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 LPG cookers: Adjust the regulator if necessary (this may be remote from the cooker).

  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 WLG503WB - Testing Burner Performance - 1

WARNING

Disconnect electric power.

  1. Remove the control panel and adjust the bypass screw when valve is set to maximum. 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.

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 10irc C higher and the lower half approximately 10irc 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.

Ensure burner caps, crowns and trivets are properly assembled. For wok ONLY use the trivet and burner dedicated for wok cooking.

Burner cap and burner crown must be clean and located correctly for the burner to light.

USING THE ELECTRIC COOKER

Radiant hotplates

The high-speed radiant hotplates heat rapidly from a cold start. This saves power.

The hotplates have a tray underneath the hob which collects spilt liquids. This tray can be removed by sliding it out through the open grill door (except model WLE522WA).

Radiant elements also swivel for easy cleaning.

WESTINGHOUSE WLG503WB - Radiant hotplates - 1

natural_image Abstract diagram showing concentric circles with arrows indicating rotation or direction (no text or symbols)

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.

Ceramic hotplates

WESTINGHOUSE WLG503WB - 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.

Electric oven conventional baking

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The bottom element is hidden below the floor of the oven. As hot air rises naturally, the upper part of the oven will be approximately 10irc C higher than the set temperature and the lower part of the oven approximately 10irc C cooler.

For grill in oven models, the grill dish must be removed when baking.

For best baking results, preheat oven for 30 minutes, also refer to 'General Hints and Tips'.

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.

GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS

WESTINGHOUSE WLG503WB - GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS - 1

CAUTION

Using the grill

Separate Grill Grill with door open.

Grill dish must be fully inserted. (Refer to SEPARATE GRILL DISH INSERTION)

Grill In Oven Grill with door closed.

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 WLG503WB - 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.

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.

WESTINGHOUSE WLG503WB - Fan Forced - 1

Ensure oven is thoroughly rinsed and dried before subsequent use.

WESTINGHOUSE WLG503WB - Oven - 1

CAUTION

DO NOT remove the oven door.

Ceramic hotplates

Remove all spilt food with a razor blade scraper while the hotplate is still warm - NOT HOT.

  • If aluminium foil, plastic items or foods with a high sugar content melt onto glass, use a razor blade scraper to remove immediately before the hotplate has cooled, otherwise pitting of the surface may occur. High sugar content foods include jam, fruit, carrots, tomatoes and peas.
  • 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.
  • When the ceramic hotplate has cooled, wipe clean with dishwashing detergent and a damp cloth.

NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive sponges or scourers, oven sprays or stain removers on ceramic hotplates. These may damage, scratch or stain the ceramic cooktop. Any pitting, staining or scratching WILL NOT be covered by warranty.

Solid hotplates

Solid hotplates are fitted with stainless steel trim rings, which after initial use, change colour to light brown. This is a normal characteristic of stainless steel and will not affect the operation or performance of your hotplates.

  • Clean off any spillage after hotplate has cooled down.
  • At regular intervals, clean hotplate with a nylon scouring pad and soapy water. Wipe clean then warm hotplate for 30 seconds to dry the surface.
  • Apply 'hotplate protector'. Set hotplate on high for 3 minutes to allow coating to harden.

Radiant hotplates

These plates are self cleaning. Any liquid which boils over will burn to ash and can be wiped off when the hotplate has cooled. To clean the trim rings, lift front of element and remove, then wash in warm, soapy water.

To clean any spillage that falls through the element, remove the spillage tray and wash in warm soapy water.

Gas burners

  • Flame port blockages should be removed with a small metal cake skewer or nylon brush.
  • Clean dirty spark plugs very gently with a nylon scourer. Do not use steel wool. Do not bend spark plug as it may break.
  • If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a non-abrasive cleaning compound.
  • Do not clean these parts with abrasive or caustic type cleaners, or clean in a dishwasher as they will be damaged.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR OVEN

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.
