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:
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.
