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.
Cookware
For best baking results with gas ovens, dark coloured trays and baking dishes are recommended.

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
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.
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.
