Rapid Heat/AirFry

This function can be either used for a quicker pre-heat of your oven or used to turn your oven into an AirFry for your frying needs. Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as well as the smaller element above the food. This will heat up your oven 30% faster.
Selected models are provided with an AirFry. The AirFry enables advanced convection cooking without having to turn the food, giving crispy great tasting results in a shorter time without all the oil. This is suitable for chips, chicken wings, nuggets and similar products.
Food items should be placed onto the mesh tray, spread out evenly and positioned in the middle of the oven. Set the function to AirFry and set the temperature as recommended.
Fan Forced/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 Force” 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.
Easy Bake Steam (WVEP917DSC model only)

Easy Bake Steam adds humidity at the beginning of the baking process. In bakery products, this allows the dough to rise and helps create a moist interior while obtaining a golden and crispy crust. Before preheating, when the oven is cold, add water to the cavity well. Refer to chapter ‘Easy Bake Steam’ for more details. For best results preheat the empty oven for 10 minutes prior to inserting food.
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/Pizza” 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 Forced” 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.
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.
Left Grill (WVEP917DSC model only)

‘The ‘Left Grill’ directs radiant heat from only one of the powerful upper elements onto the food. The ‘Left Grill’ function is used instead of ‘Full Grill’ when only half the amount of grill area is needed. Left Grill has 2 temperature settings, ‘LO’ and ‘HI’. Grill with the oven door closed.’
Maxi Grill/Full Grill

“Maxi Grill/Full Grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use the “Maxi Grill/Full 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/Full 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.
Pyro Clean

The oven has a Pyrolytic self-cleaning function. It cleans by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and grease from the oven liner, at high temperature. This process produces ash which can then be wiped out of the oven cavity.
Pyrolytic cleaning will not remove salt and mineral residue left in the cavity well when water evaporates. It is recommended that such residue is cleaned prior to conducting pyrolytic cleaning cycle.
Roast

The Roast Function is designed for roasting meats and poultry by utilising heat from all elements in combination with the fan to surround the food. This provides even cooking throughout and enhanced browning. This function starts at a higher temperature to seal the meat. The oven will then automatically reduce to the selected temperature to cook the meat for as long as desired. For example, if you use the default 200°C the “Roast” cycle will start at 220°C and then lower to 200°C.
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.
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.
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.
NOTE: WVE915SCA and WVEP917DSC have Fast Heat Up function. See ‘Operating WVE915SCA and WVEP917DSC’ chapter.

Your WVEP917DSC has the ability to add steam while baking. Cooking with steam is a great addition to straight ‘hot air’ cooking. Steam brings out all the natural flavours and goodness in the food, cooks evenly from surface to centre and retains more nutrients and vitamins. Steam assisted cooking consistently produces juicy, succulent interiors with crisp, golden exteriors.

WARNING Make sure that the appliance is cool before you remove the remaining water from the cavity well.
Although we strive for a perfect performing oven, it’s possible that there will be some variation in colour when baking. Therefore, we suggest this simple, easy and delicious to make Simple Test Cake, it can help you understand your new oven. All ovens do sometimes have hot or cold spots, therefore it is important to judge with your eye as you may require to rotate during baking.
‘Simple Test Cake’
Method:
1. Butter base and sides of two 20cm straight-sided round or square cake pans. Then line the base with grease proof or baking paper.
2. Preheat oven to moderate ‘180ºC’ (170ºC fan forced) and ensure oven shelf is in the centre position of oven.
3. Cream softened butter and sugar until light in colour.
4. Add vanilla essence.
5. Then eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Sift flour and salt into the mixture and beat until well combined.
7. Add milk and beat or stir to combine.
8. Spoon mixture equally between prepared cake pans.
9. Bake in preheated oven, middle shelf for about 25 to 35 minutes or until when tested with a fine cake skewer it comes out clean, or the edges of the cakes have come away slightly from the sides of the cake pans.
10. Remove from oven to wire cake rack and rest for 5 minutes before removing from cake pans. Cool completely.
To Serve: sandwich together with your favourite jam or conserve, and dust top with pure icing sugar.
NOTE: If desired substitute butter for either margarine or olive oil spread. Recipe is based on the Australian standard metric 250ml cup and 20ml tablespoon sets.
Oven shelf location
Your oven has 5 positions for mounting the shelves or grill dish carrier. These are numbered from 1 (the lowest shelf position) to 5 (the highest shelf position). See diagram.

To give maximum space above and below the shelves, load them in this way:
• When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 2 or 3.
• When cooking with 2 shelves, use position 1 and 3.
• When grilling use position 4 or 5.
NOTE: Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the same time e.g. 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.
