WLG503WBNG/WLG503WBLP

WLG505WBNG/WLG505WBLP

WLG517WBNG/WLG517WBLP

Gas oven conventional baking

The heat comes from the bottom oven burner� The temperature at the centre of the oven is the same temperature set on the control knob� When oven is used on this mode, shelf position is important, (refer to ‘Oven Guide’)� As hot air naturally rises, the upper half of the oven will be approximately 10°C higher and the lower half approximately 10°C cooler than the set temperature�

For best results from your gas oven use dark coloured trays and baking dishes on a single shelf� Refer to ‘General Hints and Tips’ section for more information�

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes�

Gas oven fan forced baking

Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional baking� Most recipe books, unless stated, are for conventional oven temperatures� It is recommended when using the fan forced mode to reduce the oven temperature by 10°C�

In a fan forced gas oven the heat comes from the bottom burner� Hot air is distributed by an electrically operated fan located behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels� This means batches of the same food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously�

Fan Forced operation can be used for single shelf baking with equal success�

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes�

ELECTRIC COOKER

WARNING

USING THE 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 WLE522WA)�

Radiant elements also swivel for easy cleaning�

Solid hotplates

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�

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

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�

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.
