CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
WARNING
The door glass on this appliance is made from a tough,
durable material that withstands heating and cooling
without breaking. As a precaution however, do not put
cold water on hot glass. Should you have any questions
about the glass in your new appliance, please contact the
customer care centre by dialling 1300 363 640.
Door glass that is damaged should be immediately
replaced.

scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
Oven
WARNING

Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and
oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.
Keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish and grill dish
insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire. Wrap
your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag to minimise
cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can leave a varnish-
like residue which is very difficult to remove. The upper
element can be released to assist in cleaning.
Grill
WARNING
WARNING
Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean, as
any fat deposits may catch fire. Ensure that fats and oils
do not accumulate around the grill element. The grill
element can be released to assist in cleaning the top of
the grill cavity.
Cleaning your oven accessories
Removing the trays and shelves from your appliance
• Slide the dish and shelves towards you until they
reach the front stop.
• Tilt them up at the front to clear the side supports,
taking care not to spill the contents.
• For separate grill underbench model (WVG655),
open the grill door and pull out the grill slide to its full
extent. Carefully lift the dish from the support.
• Lift the dish and shelves clear.
• Wash the dish, insert and shelves in hot soapy water.
• Reverse the above steps to put the grill tray and
shelves back again.
• Ensure that they are placed between the 2 support
wires (excluding model WEVP618).
Removing the side racks
(excluding model WEVP618)
• Grasp the middle wire at the front.
• Pull firmly inwards.
• After cleaning in hot soapy water, reinstall the side
racks by inserting the rear pins first.
Removing catalytic liners (where fitted)
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
Catalytic self-clean panels are coated with a specially
formulated enamel coating over a base of regular
enamel. This enamel coating has a rough and porous
surface. During normal cooking, fats and other food
splatter is partially absorbed into the surface and
oxidised away. This oxidisation of the fat works best at
high temperatures. You will find that if you do a lot of
lower temperature baking, around 180°C, then the self-
cleaning process may not be complete. If lightly soiled,
you can set the oven to 250°C for around one hour to
completely remove the soil.
Should the panels become heavily soiled, they will need
to be taken out of the oven and cleaned by hand. They
can be cleaned by first soaking in warm soapy water for
at least 2 hours and then wiping clean with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Solid cleaning powders, creamy cleansers, caustic
oven cleaners, steel wool or other scourers will ruin the
catalytic surface and must NEVER BE USED.
• Lift the liner up to disengage the hooks.
• The liners should now be free to be pulled in towards
the centre of the oven.
Removing and replacing the oven back light and
side light (where fitted)
• Turn oven light glass anticlockwise to remove it for
globe replacement.
• To remove side light, place a spoon under the light
glass and lever off. Replace globe and snap glass
cover back into position.
• A special high temperature resistant globe should
be used. This can be purchased from Electrolux
Customer Care Centre.
NOTE: :Light globes are not covered by warranty
