Frequently Asked Questions - CLE527WB Chef

How do I set the timer on the Chef CLE527WB?
Turn the timer knob past 15 minutes, then back to the desired time. The timer rings briefly when it reaches zero.
Why is my oven not heating up?
Check that the electricity is on, the circuit breaker is not tripped, and the correct oven knob is turned. Preheat the oven for 30 minutes as recommended.
How do I clean the oven door glass?
Remove the inner glass by opening the door, rotating the stirrups, and lifting off the top trims. Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or place in dishwasher.
What should I do if there is condensation in the oven?
Reduce the amount of water used in cooking. Some condensation is normal. Leave the door open after cooking if food remains inside to allow moisture to escape.
Why are my cakes unevenly browned?
Ensure the oven is preheated, use correct shelf position, avoid opening the door too early, and rotate dishes if needed. Also check that the grill tray is removed during baking.
Can I line the oven with aluminum foil?
No, do not line the oven with foil or place anything on the bottom. Trapped heat can crack the oven liner.
How do I replace the oven light bulb?
Switch off the appliance at the power supply. Turn the light cover anticlockwise to remove it, then replace the bulb with a suitable type (refer to manual).
What type of cookware is best for the hotplates?
Use flat-bottomed pots and pans that match the size of the hotplate. Avoid recessed or convex bases. Do not operate without a utensil.
Why does the grill smoke and what should I do?
New appliances may have an odour; run the grill on high for 15 minutes with the door open. Keep the grill clean and do not leave unattended.
How do I level the cooker?
Adjust the front adjustable feet using a spanner. Ensure the anti-tilt plate is installed to prevent tipping.

Solid hotplates

If present, the red dot in the centre of hotplate changes colour when heated.

When necessary to keep element looking good, apply coating of 'hot plate protection' onto solid hot plates.

Ceramic Hotplates

! 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 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.

Using the Grill

- Separate Grill: Grill with door open. - Grill dish must be fully inserted.

general hints and tips

Hints general

• 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 centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning
- Stand casseroles dishes or similar-type dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of oven to make cleaning of oven easier
• 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
- Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250°C
- 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
- Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper ones as this shortens cooking time in the oven.

Fan Forced

  • DO NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the 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.

Chef CLE527WB - Fan Forced - 1

General tips

Condensation and Steam

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

cleaning the cooker

Cleaning the cooker

Ovens and hotplates are made from steel and enamel. Do not use abrasives and harsh scourers as they may scratch the surface

Chef CLE527WB - Cleaning the cooker - 1

Do not use steam cleaners as this may cause future buildup, especially in the glass door

Stainless Steel

  • All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or become greasy. You must clean these areas 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 as they can be sharp
  • The front frame around the oven can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaners if it comes soiled or discoloured
  • A suitable cleaner can be purchased from Electrolux Customer Care Centres
    • Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the steel.

General

- Always clean appliance after use, especially food spillage. DO NOT use steel wool, wax polishes or caustic based commercial cleaners as these will damage your oven

- Door Glass – DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Chef CLE527WB - General - 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.

Oven

  • Do not remove the oven door
    • Make sure oven knobs are in the off position
  • Clean immediately after use as a warm oven is easier to clean
  • Use detergent, hot water (and household ammonia/cloudy ammonia if necessary) and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.

  • Remove shelves when cleaning oven

  • If there is a build-up of grease, place a small oven proof dish containing 14 cup (62mL) household ammonia/cloudy ammonia and 34 cup (187mL) water in the oven. Heat oven to 110 degrees and turn oven off when 110 degrees is reached. Leave overnight. The fumes will loosen stubborn grease and stains. Remove bowl, wash with hot, soapy water and dry well before closing oven door again.

Oven Shelves

  • Chrome shelves: use detergent and hot water. If very dirty use a non-abrasive nylon scourer
  • Enamel dishes and tray: use detergent and hot water. If very dirty a non-abrasive nylon scourer
  • DO NOT clean oven parts with abrasive or caustic-type cleaners.

Oven - Grill Dish and Insert

  • After every use, and while still warm, sprinkle grill insert with detergent and cover with wet paper towel as this will loosen food particles and grease
  • Wash pan and grid with hot, soapy water with a little household ammonia/cloudy ammonia added. Rinse and dry before replacing in position.

Ceramic Hotplates

  • Clean with detergent and hot water and polish with a soft cloth
  • For harder to clean spills a blade scraper is supplied
  • Aluminium foil, plastic and high sugar content food can cause pitting if not removed before the hotplate has cooled.
  • 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.

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 hot plate 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 'hot plate protector.' Set hotplate on high for 3 minutes to allow coating to harden.

cleaning the cooker

Cleaning the Oven Door

Cool air circulates through the door to lower the surface temperature on the outside of the oven door.

• Do not remove the oven door
• This product has a removable inner door glass.

To remove the inner door glass for cleaning

- Open the door fully to access the hinges then rotate the "stirrups" on both hinges fully towards the door.

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

When baking, it is possible that there will be some variation in colour. Therefore, we suggest to make this simple, easy and delicious test cake to help you understand your new oven. All ovens do sometimes have hot or cold spots, therefore it is important to judge with your eye as you may need to rotate your dishes during baking.

'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 30m 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.

FOOT 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.

The following is intended as a guide and experience may show some slight variation in order to meet individual requirements. Where the gas models vary from the electric models, details for gas cooking is shown in brackets. For best results when baking, preheat your oven for 30 minutes.

- A functional switch MUST be provided near the appliance in an accessible position (AS/NZS3000 – Clause 4.7.1).
- Wiring MUST be protected against mechanical failure (AS/NZS3000 – Clause 3.9).
- Disconnection from the fixed wiring must occur as required by AS3000 wiring rules.
- This range must be connected with cable of 75°C rating minimum.
