BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Preparing your appliance for the first time

  • Please remove all internal boxes and bags from the oven before operation.
  • Please wipe out the oven interior prior to operation with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven is completely dry.
  • New appliances can have an odour during first operation. It is recommended to ‘run in’ your oven before you cook for the first time. Run the oven at 180°C for 2 hours and ensure that the room is well ventilated.
  • DO NOT line the oven with foil, it will damage the enamel.
  • Prior to installing accessories, remove all packaging and remove plastic film from external panels.

Auto Off timer

  • If your appliance is fitted with a mechanical “Auto Off” timer, make sure it is set to “Off” marker for manual operation.

Setting the time

If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic or programmable timer, you must set the time of day before you can operate your appliance.

After electrically connecting the appliance, you must set the time of the day before you can operate your oven.

Touch control electronic clock model (WFE915SD, and WFE916DSD)

  1. After the appliance has been electrically connected “12.00” will be displayed and the “clock” indicator will flash.
  2. To set the time of day, press or . 5 seconds after the last change, the “clock” indicator will disappear, confirming the time has been set.

NOTE: The clock has a 24-hour display.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKTOP

  1. Low heat burner (5.1MJ/h)
    Used for simmering with small cookware items.
  2. Medium heat burner (9.0MJ/h)
    Used for normal cooking and simmering with mid size cookware items.
  3. High heat burner (12.1MJ/h)
    Used for fast heating with large size cookware items.
  4. Intense heat wok burner (19.0MJ/h)
    Used for very fast heating with woks and other large size cookware items. Use wok trivet provided when cooking with a wok.

Using your gas hot plates (All gas hob model)

To light a burner with this knob, firstly depress and turn anti-clockwise to the ‘High’ flame position. The knob maybe released once the flame is established and turned further anti-clockwise to reduce the flame height as desired.

Note 1: Gas control has limited movement.

Note 2: If the flame goes out when either knob is released, simply depress the knob again, this time holding it down for approximately 5 seconds.

Using your dual flame wok hot plates (WFE916DSD & WFEP917DSD)

To light the wok burner, depress the knob and turn anti-clockwise to ignite the inner and outer burners. The knob may be released when both inside and outside flames are established. Turning the knob further anti-clockwise will reduce the height of the outer flame.

Turning the knob to ‘Mid’ and further will distinguish the outer flame and control the height of the inner flame.

Turning the knob back to ‘High’ will reignite the outer flame.

USING YOUR OVEN

Understanding your oven functions

Rapid Heat

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as the smaller element above the food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than the standard “Bake”. “Rapid Heat” is ideal for cooking frozen pre-cooked foods such as savoury 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.

AirFry

AirFry enables advanced convection cooking function without having to turn the food, giving crispy great tasting results in a shorter time without all the oil. This is suitable for french fries, chicken wings, nuggets and similar products

Fan Bake / Fan forced

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.

EasyBake +Steam (WFEP917DSD model only)

EasyBake +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 “EasyBake +Steam” for more details. For best results preheat the empty oven for 10 minutes prior to inserting food.

Bake/Pizza

Pizza” is a combination of “Base heat” and “Fan bake” and offers you the combined benefits of both functions. Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan 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.

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.

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.

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 (on selected models)

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 anti-clockwise 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.

120 minute “Auto off” timer

The 120 minute timer features an automatic oven cut off

This means that a cooking period of up to 120 minutes can be set. When the timer has counted back to “Auto off”, a bell will sound and the oven will automatically switch off.

Once automatic baking is complete, return to manual operation by setting the timer to the “OFF” mark.

COOKING TEST

Get to know your new oven with this ‘Simple Test Cake’

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’

125g butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence

4 large eggs

2 cups self-raising flour pinch of salt

4 tablespoons (80ml) full-cream milk

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.

  • For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
  • Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
  • The grill tray can be used in the oven as a baking dish, except in oven shelf location 1.
  • Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on.
  • Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat and ensures even cooking.
  • Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
  • Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with other foods. This will cause food to steam and not brown.
  • After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
  • Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and the oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave residue which is very difficult to remove.
  • When cooking things which require a high heat from below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone tray in the desired shelf position.
  • For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished or non-stick utensils.
  • Remove unnecessary trays or dishes when roasting or baking.

Oven shelf location

Your freestanding 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.

COOKING GUIDE

Choosing the best oven settings

The following table is intended as a guide and experience may show some variation in cooking times necessary to meet individual requirements. We recommend that you preheat your oven for 30 minutes.

Modes without Oven Fan

Modes with Oven Fan

EasyBake + Steam function

AirFry Cooking Guide

We recommend that you pre-heat the oven for 5 minutes for the best AirFry performance.

NOTES:

These were the foods that best performed using the AirFry tray.

A tray should be placed on the bottom shelf position covered with foil to catch any of the fat.

Grilling Guide

WARNING: Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use. Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.

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.

WIPE OFF ANY OIL OR FAT WHICH SPATTERS WHILE THE OVEN IS STILL WARM.

  • 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.
  • The glass edges have been specially ground to remove any sharp edges. However it is glass, and should be handled carefully to avoid injury to your person and damage to the glass.

WARNING: Make sure the appliance power is switched off at the isolating switch before you remove or replace parts, to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Changing the light globes

  • There are 2 light globes located in the top of the oven cavity towards the front. The light globe glass is accessible between the passes of the upper element.
  • To remove, turn oven light glass anti-clockwise.
  • A special high temperature resistant globe should be used. This can be purchased from the customer care centre.

Storage compartment (selected models)

The storage compartment is accessible through the pivoting door.

Unused oven racks and grill dishes can be stored here.
