USING YOUR OVEN

Understanding your oven functions

The following lists the oven functions available with the programmable controller (models WFEP915SB, WFE946SB, WVE916SB and WVEP916SB). Multifunction models (WFE914SB and WVE914SB) have all oven functions except for Fan Assist, Pizza and Fast Heat Up.

Rapid Heat

Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as well as the smaller element above the food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard “Bake”. “Rapid Heat” is ideal for cooking frozen precooked foods such as savoury dishes, pastries, pizzas, mini meals (TV dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Simply place the food in the oven straight from the freezer and heat – ideal for busy people. Cook in the upper half of the oven for best results.

Fan Bake

Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans. The fans circulate the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can put your food in different places in the oven and still cook them at the same time. You can use the “Fan Bake” function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating cooked foods, pastries and complete oven meals. It will cook at a lower temperature and be faster than baking. Please note that some variation in browning is normal.

Bake/Pizza

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The bottom element is a clean heat element and is below the floor of the oven. Both elements are controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature. You can use the “Bake” function for pizza and single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.

Base Heat

Heat comes from the element below the floor of the oven. The Element is controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature. The “Base Heat” function can be used to add extra browning to the bases of pizzas, pies and pastries. Cook in the lower half of the oven when you are using only one shelf. For best results, use silver or shiny trays.

Fan Assist

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The fans circulate the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can put the food in different places in the oven and still cook them at the same time. You should only use a maximum of 2 shelves with “Fan Assist”. Do not use the bottom shelf. If two shelves are used, food on the shelf in the higher position will cook first and should then be removed to allow the food on the lower shelf to finish cooking.

Pizza

“Pizza” is a combination of “Base Heat” and “Fan Bake” and offers you the combined benefits of both functions. Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as well as the clean heat element below the oven floor.

The “Pizza” function is ideal for foods that require cooking and browning on the base. It is great for foods such as pizzas, quiches, meat pies and fruit pies. Simply place the food in the middle of the oven and set the desired temperature.

Eco cooking

For energy saving baking and cooking on one shelf position. Gentle heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans. The lamps deactivate after 30 seconds.

Defrost

The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fans. You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. You can also use “Defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Fan Grill

“Fan Grill” offers you the benefits of both “Bake” and traditional “Grill” functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain the set temperature while the fans circulate the heated air. The oven door remains closed for fan grill. You can use “Fan Grill” for large cuts of meat to give you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked meat. Put your food on a shelf in the second lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf position to catch any spills. When using “Fan Grill” it is not necessary to turn the food over during the cooking cycle. Set the temperature to 180°C.

Grill

The “Grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the food. You can use the “Grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Maxi Grill

“Maxi Grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use the “Maxi Grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door closed. “Maxi Grill” allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook faster than normal “Grill”. For best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for 3 minutes. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Pyro Clean (WVEP916SB & WFEP915SB models only)

The “Pyrolytic cleaning” function is used for cleaning the main oven. It cleans by burning off the spatters and temperature. This process produces ash which can be wiped out of the oven cavity.

Fast Heat Up

“Fast Heat Up” can be selected in the initial heat up phase of any cooking function. During “Fast Heat Up” the heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as well as the smaller element above the food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard “Bake/Pizza”. See Using your programmable controller to operate the oven instructions for more information.

Cooling/Venting fan

Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents your kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces the condensation inside the oven. It will operate whenever you are using your oven or grill and will blow warm air across the top of the oven door. In some appliances the cooling fan may continue to operate after the appliance is turned off. It will switch off by itself once oven is cool

Condensation

Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may happen when you are cooking large quantities of food from a cold start. You can minimise condensation by:

• Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to a minimum.
• Making sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
• Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller than the water container.
• Cooking casseroles with the lid on.

NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to steam and may condense outside your appliance. This is not a problem or fault with your oven.

Operating your oven temperature and function selectors model WFE914SB & WVE914SB

To set the oven, turn the function selector to the desired cooking function and then turn the temperature selector to the desired temperature. An indicator light above the temperature selector will come on. When the temperature is reached the heating source switches itself off and the indicator light goes out. When the oven temperature falls below the desired setting, the heating source switches on and the indicator light comes on again.

Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector off in an anticlockwise direction. Do not force it right round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage to the thermostat. Turn the multifunction selector off.

Preheating your oven with “Rapid Heat”

To preheat your oven select the “Rapid Heat” function. This function allows your oven to reach the preset temperature quicker than any other cooking function.

1. Turn the function selector to “Rapid Heat”.
2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector. When the indicator light above the temperature selector goes out, the oven has reached the desired temperature. Select the oven function you require for cooking or baking and place the food in the oven.

On completion of cooking

• The heat source will turn off, the timer will beep and the end time and/or cook time ‘indicators’ will flash.
• Even though the heating element turns off the oven will still retain substantial heat. This will continue to cook the food until it is removed or the oven cools down. If you do not plan on being present when the oven turns off, you should take this extra heating time into account.
• Turn the function and temperature controls to the off position.
• Press any button to stop the timer beeping.

Adjusting the clock

• Press the MODE button until the clock ‘indicator’ begins flashing.
• Press the or buttons to change the time of day. 5 seconds after the last change, the clock ‘indicator’ will disappear, confirming the time has been adjusted.

COOKING GUIDE

Roasting Meat

1. Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier to clean your oven.)
2. Use the grill/oven dish and grill insert. Place the meat on the insert.
3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to escape.
4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand for about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when the meat is carved. The table shows temperatures and cooking times for different kinds of meat. These may vary depending on the thickness or bone content of the meat.

Roasting poultry and fish

1. Place the poultry or fish in an oven set at a moderate temperature of 180°C.
2. Place a layer of foil over the fish for about three quarters of the cooking time.

The table shows temperatures and cooking times for different kinds of fish and poultry. These may vary depending on the thickness or bone content of the meat.

Grilling Guide

Grilling is conducted with the oven door closed

As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:

• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry and meat.
• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.

This table shows how to grill different types of meat:

Guide to better grilling

No definite times can be given for grilling because this depends on your own tastes and the size of the food.

These times should only be used as a guide and remember to turn the food over halfway through the cooking process.

For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:

1. Preheat grill for at least 5 minutes.
2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could result in a fire.
4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated before cooking.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface and will let juices escape.

Fan Grill

The “Fan Grill” assists the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly around the food. The recommended temperature setting is 180°C for all fan grilling functions.

1. Place the grill dish on the bottom rack.
2. Place meat/poultry on an oven shelf above the grill dish.
3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is still warm.

DEALING WITH COOKING PROBLEMS

(SEE ALSO TROUBLESHOOTING)

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

Removing the trays and shelves from your appliance

• Slide the dish and grill tray 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.
• Lift them clear.
• Wash the tray 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.

Removing the side racks or shelf supports

• Grasp the shelf support at the front.
• Pull it firmly inwards

Cleaning your oven door

The oven door has been designed to allow the two inner door glasses to be removed for cleaning without removing the door from the product.

Removing the inner door glass for cleaning:

• Open the door fully to gain access to the hinges.
• Push down the hinge locking tab as shown in the diagram on both sides of door.

• Gently close the door until it stops in partially open position on the locking tab (the door will not fully close with the locking tab in the down position).
• In this position the top door trim can be removed by pushing each side on the serrated surface to release the clips and lift the trim away from the door.
• To remove the inner glass, tilt top of glass towards the oven and lift out.
• The middle glass is removed in the same way.
• The inner side of outer glass can be cleaned in-situ when inner and middle glass is removed.
• Clean glass using detergent and warm water, wipe clean and dry thoroughly.

Re-assembling the door glass panels:

• Replace the middle glass back to the door. The middle glass is a clear pane and orientation of the glass is not important.
• Replace the inner glass back to the door, ensuring the side with black ceramic paint faces away from the oven cavity when door is closed.
• Fully open the door and return the locking tabs to their normal position and close the door.

CLEANING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES

Cleaning your oven door

WARNING

• DO NOT use the oven without the inner and middle door glass fitted.
• NEVER spray any caustic cleaners on any surface of the door or damage to the surface coatings will result.
• DO NOT use metal utensils, scrapers, scourers, or abrasive cleaners to clean the glass or any of the door trims. These will damage or scratch the surface coatings and degrade the finish and appearance.
• DO NOT place glass in dishwasher.
• Use only warm water and liquid detergent with a soft cloth to clean the glass or trims.
• Before refitting the glass panes to the door ensure they are dried with a soft cloth.
