20 TESTING THE OPERATION OF THE GAS COOKER
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Preparing your appliance for the first time
• Please remove all internal boxes and bags from the
oven before operation.
• Please wipe out the oven interior prior to operation
with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft
clean cloth. Do not close the oven door until the
oven is completely dry.
• New appliances can have an odour during first
operation. It is recommended to ‘run in’ your oven
before you cook for the first time. Run the oven at 180°C
for 2 hours and ensure that the room is well ventilated.
• DO NOT line the oven with foil, it will damage the enamel.
• Prior to installing accessories, remove all packaging
and remove plastic film from external panels.
Auto Off timer
• If your appliance is fitted with a mechanical “Auto
Off” timer, make sure it is set to “Off” marker for
manual operation.
Setting the time
If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic
or programmable timer, you must set the time of day
before you can operate your appliance.
After electrically connecting the appliance, you must set
the time of the day before you can operate your oven.
Touch control electronic clock model (WFE915SD,
WFE946SD and WFE916DSD)
1. After the appliance has been electrically connected
“12.00” will be displayed and the “clock” indicator
will flash.
2. To set the time of day, press
or . 5 seconds after
the last change, the “clock” indicator will disappear,
confirming the time has been set.
NOTE: The clock has a 24-hour display.
Electronic controller WFEP917DSD
1. When power is supplied to the oven the clock
icon will be displayed. Along with the clock symbol
the “12” will be flashing. This indicates that the ‘hour’
portion of the time is ready to be changed.
2. Toggle the temp selector
or
, then touch
when the correct hour is displayed.
3. The minutes will then flash and can be set in
the same manner as above. 5 seconds after the
last change, the clock display will stop flashing,
confirming that the time has been set.
NOTE: The clock has a 24-hour display.
TESTING THE OPERATION OF THE GAS COOKER
Checking 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 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.
Checking the function of the regulator
With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:
• when all burners of the appliance are operating
at maximum,
• 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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
Testing the cooker features
• Observe the flame appearance on each burner. If it
is much smaller or larger than expected, then the
injector size needs checking.
NOTE: When flame is unsatisfactory, then refer to the
Electrolux Technical Publications and correct the fault,
if possible.
When maximum flame appearance is correct, then check
the turn-down setting on each burner. If the settings
appear to be incorrect, proceed as follows:
1. Adjust the bypass screw mounted on the body of
each hotplate control cock. This is accessible when
the control knob and the control panel are removed.
2. Check the ignition on all burners both separately and
in combination.
3. Check the operation of the electrical components,
if applicable.
4. If you are satisfied that the cooker is operating
correctly, then turn it off and show the customer how
to use it. Make sure you ask the customer to operate
the clock and controls.
NOTE: If the cooker cannot be adjusted to perform
correctly, then inform the customer of the problem
and put a warning notice on the cooker. If the problem
is dangerous, then disconnect the cooker. If there is a
fault, then the customer should be advised to contact
the manufacturer’s local service organisation or
the retailer.
