ELECTRIC COOKER
Radiant hotplates
The high-speed radiant hotplates heat rapidly from a cold
start� This saves power�
The hotplates have a tray underneath the hob which collects
spilt liquids� This tray can be removed by sliding it out through
the open grill door (except model WLE524WC)�
Radiant elements also swivel for easy cleaning�
Solid hotplates
The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for fast
efficient cooking�
Hotplates are sealed to prevent spilt liquids from running
under the hotplates�
If there is a red dot present in the centre of hotplate,
this indicates it is a high power hotplate�
When necessary, apply a coating of hotplate protector to
solid plates to maintain them�
Ceramic hotplates
WARNING
WARNING
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough,
durable material that withstands heating and cooling
without breaking� However, it must be noted that as it is
glass,
it may break, and must therefore be treated with care�
Should you have any questions about the glass in your
new appliance, please contact the service centre by
dialling 13 13 49�
• The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show where the
elements under the glass are located�
• When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light will
come on� After switching off, this light will continue to
glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops
below 60°C�
Electric oven conventional baking
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below
the food� The bottom element is hidden below the floor of the
oven� As hot air rises naturally, the upper part of the oven will
be approximately 10°C higher than the set temperature and
the lower part of the oven approximately 10°C cooler�
For grill in oven models, the grill dish must be removed
when baking�
For best baking results, preheat oven for 30 minutes, also refer
to ‘General Hints and Tips”�
Electric oven fan forced baking
In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the rear
oven element� Hot air is distributed by a fan behind the rear
wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all
shelf levels� This means, batches of food can be baked using
multiple shelf positions simultaneously�
Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking with
equal success�
Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than
conventional baking� Most recipe books, unless stated, are
typically for conventional oven temperatures� It is recommended
that when using the fan forced mode, reduce the oven
temperature by 10 degrees (refer to ‘Oven Guide’)�
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes�
Cookware
For best cooking results with electric ovens, silver or shiny
trays are recommended�
NOTE: Three button timer models MUST have clock set after a
power outage to operate oven.
