Separate grill (separate grill models only)
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. 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.
For models with a separate grill, the door must be left
open while grilling.
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
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 or grill door.
NOTE: (Model WVG655 only) If the oven is still hot from
cooking, the cooling fan will keep running to cool the oven
down and will switch off automatically when cool.
Condensation
This appliance is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This steam makes it possible to
cook in a steamy environment ensuring that dishes are
soft inside and crusty on the outside. This process also
reduces cooking time and energy consumption. During
cooking, steam may be produced and released when the
door is opened. This is absolutely normal. When food is
heated, it produces steam in the same way a boiling kettle
does. When steam comes into contact with the oven door
glass, it will condense and produce water droplets. To
reduce condensation, ensure that the oven is pre-heated
before placing food in the oven cavity. It is recommended
that condensation is wiped away after each use of
the oven.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour
etc. which affects the way they transfer heat to the food.
• Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
• Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
• To increase base browning simply lower the shelf
position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf
position.
• Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.
• Single level cooking gives best results in conventional
modes. If cooking on more than one level use a fan
cooking function.
Operating your oven temperature selector
A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance.
The temperature can be selected within the specified
range. To set the temperature, turn the temperature
selector
in a clockwise direction to the desired setting. An
indicator light above the temperature selector will
come on and the oven burner will ignite. When the
set temperature is reached, the gas burner flame goes
out and the indicator light goes off. When the oven
temperature falls below the set temperature the flame
automatically re-ignites and the oven indicator light
comes on again.
WARNING
CAUTION
Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector
back in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not force it right
round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage
to the thermostat.
NOTE: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking
function must be selected before the oven will operate.
Once the desired function has been selected, use the
temperature selector to set the required temperature.
Pre-heating your appliance
For best results when baking you must preheat your oven
for 30 minutes. Preheat grill for 3 minutes to obtain best
results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to reach the
required temperature quickly and efficiently.
When baking bread or cakes, load the oven as quickly
as possible after pre-heating, only leaving the oven door
open for the shortest time. This will minimise loss of heat
from the oven and ensure the best results.
With “bake” or “fan bake”
• It is recommended you preheat your appliance when
cooking or baking.
• Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your
oven temperature selector.
Once the oven has been preheated, place your food into
the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.
