Gas oven conventional baking

The heat comes from the bottom oven burner. The temperature at the centre of 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 before turning on the fan.

using the gas cooker

Gas hotplate

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

Gas oven burner flame

From a cold start the oven burner flame will be higher on the left hand-side. This does not affect cooking results.

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 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 10^ C higher than the set temperature and the lower part of the oven approximately 10^ 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'

using the electric cooker

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

Line drawing of an oven interior with grilles and a central circular vent (no text or symbols)

Using the Grill

• Separate Grill: Grill with door open. Grill dish must be fully inserted.
  • Grill in oven: Grill with door closed.

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

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

• 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
• 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

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

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

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
• DO NOT use steam cleaners, as this may cause moisture build-up especially in the glass door
• 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.

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.

cleaning the cooker

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.

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.

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.

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.

Operation on NG

• The appliance regulator MUST be orientated so that the pressure nipple is accessible
• The arrow showing the direction of flow MUST be pointed correctly
• The regulator has a 12 " BSP internal thread at the inlet and outlet.

Wiring connection for gas cooker

To allow for disconnection of the appliance after installation, the plug must be accessible after installation, or a functional switch must be provided near the appliance in an accessible position.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Gas connection

Read these points before connecting to the gas supply:

• The cooker inlet connection point has a 12'' BSP external thread. See Diagram below
  • A NG regulator or a LPG test point fitting is supplied
• It is recommended to fit the regulator or test point fitting to the appliance connection point, then fit either hard piping or a high level flexible connection (AS/NZS 5601.1 clauses 5.9 and 6.10.1.9) which is then attached to the consumer hard piping
  • Ensure installation allows withdrawal of appliance.

Operation on universal LPG/propane

1. The appliance inlet fitting provided MUST be orientated so that the pressure nipple is accessible
2. The inlet fitting has 12 " BSP internal thread at the inlet and outlet.

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
  • A conversion kit can be obtained by contacting the Customer Care Centre

WARNING

1. Disconnect electric power before removing control panel
2. Remove the control panel
3. Remove the existing NG shutter securing screw (refer to diagram above) and slide upwards to disengage from grill burner
4. Slide the SNG shutter into position and secure with screws.

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.

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

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

5. For LPG cookers: Adjust the regulator if necessary (this may be remote from the cooker)

6. 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.
7. 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 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 appears to not 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 cooker features

• Observe the flame appearance on each burner. If it is smaller or larger than expected, then the injector size needs checking
  • If the flame is unsatisfactory, then refer to the Electrolux Technical Publications and correct the fault if possible
• When maximum flame appearance is correct, check the turn down setting on each burner. If incorrect, proceed as follows:

WARNING

1. Disconnect electric power
2. Remove the control panel and adjust the bypass screw mounted on the body of each hotplate control cock
3. Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination
4. Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable
5. When operating correctly, show customer how to use the cooker
6. If not operating correctly, advise the customer to ring Electrolux service. Place a warning sign on cooker or if dangerous, disconnect cooker.
