WARNING
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.
CAUTION
• Do not line the oven with foil as it will damage
the enamel.
• New appliances can have an odour during first use. It
is recommended to ‘run in’ the oven before cooking
for the first time Operate the oven(s), empty, at a
temperature of 180°C for approximately 30 minutes.
For appliances with a separate grill, run the grill on
maximum for 15 minutes WITH GRILL DOOR OPEN
Please ensure that the room is well ventilated during
this process.
Installing your oven accessories
Fitting oven shelves
1. Ensure shelf orientation is correct (refer to diagram
below).
2. Slide oven shelves onto oven supports (side runners)
at an angle until raised back of shelf is past the stop
on oven supports (side runners).
3. Lower front of shelf and push in until stop is reached.
4. To remove oven shelves, withdraw to the stop and
raise the front of shelf to clear the stop.
Grill in oven
(refer to Fitting Oven Shelves)
The grill dish with wire insert can be used in any of the
two upper height positions (shelf positions 4 and 5)
between the runners.
NOTE: You must remove the grill dish when baking in
the oven.

INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES
Burner crowns and caps
• The burner crown must be fitted correctly into the
burner cup or damage will occur during operation.
• To do this, ensure that the 2 ribs on either side of the
spark plug hole are positioned into the 2 slots on the
burner cup (see diagram).
• Burner cap and burner crown must be clean and
located correctly for the burner to light.
NOTE: When the burner is correctly fitted it will sit level
on the hob.

7INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES
USING THE HOTPLATE
Hotplate dos and dont’s
• Do not place heat resistant mats, wire mats or
aluminium foil under pots and pans.
• Do not allow pots and pans to boil dry, as damage to
both pan and hotplate may result.
• Do not use the hotplate as extra bench space or as a
cutting board.
• Do not allow children on or near the cooktop at any
time.
• Do not allow large cookware to overhang the
hotplate onto the adjacent benchtop. This will cause
scorching to the benchtop surface.
• Do not use round bottom woks or similar utensils
which could lead to overheating of the hotplates and
possible damage to the cooking surface.
• Use the stored heat in the hotplate by turning the
control to off before the final few minutes of cooking.
• Do not slide pans across the surface of the ceramic
glass as it could result in scratching of the surface.
Ceramic hotplates
The cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable
material that withstands heating and cooling without
breaking. It is strong enough to hold the heaviest utensils.
However, it must be remembered that as it is GLASS, it
may break. Treat it accordingly!
Should you have any questions about the glass in your new
appliance, please contact the service centre by dialling
13 13 49.
The heating elements are concealed under the smooth
glass surface which has a pattern to show the location
of the elements. When cooking, turn the control to the
required setting.
The ceramic cooktop glass will retain heat for a period of
time after the control is turned off. This will be indicated
by the hot surface warning light which will continue to
glow until the temperature drops below 60°C.
NOTE: If the ceramic glass is cracked switch off the
appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• Use pans with smooth, clean and dry bottoms to
avoid scratching or burning residue into the glass.
• Ensure the pan bottom is the same size as the
working element.
• We do not recommend ceramic glass pans because
they do not conduct heat well.
• Stainless steel or enamelled saucepans are best.
• Do not use pans with copper or aluminium bottoms
because they can leave traces which are difficult to
remove from the glass.
• If buying new utensils select enamelled steel pans
with 2-3mm thick bottoms or stainless steel pans with
sandwich bottoms 4-6mm thick. The pan bottom
should be flat, or preferably, slightly concave at room
temperature so that it lies flat on the glass surface
when hot.
a flat or slightly
concave pan is
preferable for

Lighting gas hotplate, grill and oven
Electronic ignition (For models WFE616, WFE619
and WFE517)
These hobs are fitted with mains powered electronic ignition.
When the appliance has been connected and the power is on,
depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners. To light
a burner, depress the corresponding knob and while continuing
to depress knob turn anticlockwise to ‘HI’ position. The knob
may be released once the flame is established, and turned
further anticlockwise to reduce the flame height as desired.
Push button Ignition (For models WFG617)
Turn appropriate burner control knob to maximum and at the
same time press the ignition switch.
Flame safeguard models (For models WFE616, WFE619,
WFG617, WFE517)
Models with flame safeguard have the same ignition procedure
as above but require the knob to continue to be depressed
after flame is established for approximately 5 seconds. If the
flame goes out when the knob is released, simply depress the
knob again, this time holding it down with slightly more force
for the same length of time.
WARNING
• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
• If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to
‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try lighting
again.
• Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’
settings only.
Gas oven burner flame
From a cold start the oven burner flame will be higher on the
left hand-side. After reaching the set temperature, the flame
will become even. This does not affect cooking results.
ENVIRONMENT
To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and
adjust the flame so that it does not go past the edge of the
cookware.
NOTE: In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition
directly to the burner with a hand held ignition source.
Grill ignition (For models WFG617)
Turn Grill Control Knob onto maximum and at the same time
press Electronic Ignition Switch. This burner also has flame
failure, so it is required to depress the knob approximately
5 seconds after the flame is established. If the flame goes out
when the knob is released, simply depress the knob again,
this time holding it down with slightly more force for the same
length of time.
Grill – in oven
Grill is electric and is operated by control knob only.
Oven ignition – electronic (For model WFG617)
Push and hold Oven Control Knob onto desired temperature
and at the same time press the Electronic Ignition Switch.
Hold control knob in for 5 seconds after ignition.
