Appliance Installation*

Frequently Asked Questions

See our frequently asked questions for all you need to know about the use, maintenance and care of your appliances.

• Do I need a qualified person to install my new oven or cooktop?

  Australian Standards for electric/gas oven installation are used to make sure kitchen appliances are safely used and correctly installed.

  For electrical appliances, only a licensed electrician can install them as there are electrical circuits and multiple wires involved. The electrician also needs to look into your existing wiring to ensure that your wiring is capable of handling the requirements of your new oven or cooktop. Newer models can often require increased circuitry.

  If you need to upgrade your wiring to suit the power needs of your new oven, a site inspection can be arranged to provide a quote to do this.

  For gas appliances, ONLY a licensed gas fitter/plumber can install them. Gas is dangerous and needs to be connected to the correct gas line and adhere to regulations around minimum clearances for combustible materials.

  When the installation is completed, your electrician or plumber will provide you with a Compliance Certificate.

• How can I remove stickers from my Electrolux appliance safely?
  Simply peel the stickers off. We recommend using eucalyptus oil to help remove any sticker residue from your appliance.
• Is installation different to connection?
  Yes, a ‘connection’ is plugging an appliance to an existing power supply, or hooking a laundry appliance to available plumbing. Installation is more complex and requires qualified tradespeople (e.g. electricians, plumbers, carpenters etc) to fully install to your cabinetry and connect to services like electricity, gas and water.
