TIPS & INFORMATION
INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES
Catalytic liners (on selected models)
IMPORTANT
Models which contain catalytic liners have 2 catalytic
side liners (to be fitted by you) and a catalytic fan cover
(already fitted).
NOTE: If your model does not have catalytic liners, they
are available for purchase from the Customer Care Centre.
Catalytic liners are coated with a specially formulated
enamel coating. This porous coating enables a “self
cleaning” process. Catalytic liners must be installed first
but you can omit them, if you wish, with no effect to
cooking performance. Their sole purpose is to make oven
cleaning easier.
• The catalytic liners attach to each side of your oven.
There is a left hand and right hand version which is
marked on the panel.
• Position the first liner as per the diagram. The black,
shiny side of the liner should be facing the oven
wall, the hooks pointing down and the word ‘LH’
positioned to the top rear portion of the oven. The
right hand side will be a mirror image of this.
• Line the hooks up with the slots provided in the oven
wall, push them in and then allow the liner to slide
down to its final position.
• The access hole for the side racks should be visible
when the liner is correctly positioned.
Side racks
The side racks that come with your oven can be attached
to either side of your oven.
• Insert the twin pegged side into the rear access holes
provided, ensuring that the pegs are fully inserted.
• Then locate the front peg into the front access hole
and push in firmly.
• (WVE626 and WVE665 only) when locating the left
side rack into the small oven or grill, ensure the pegs
are inserted into the upper two access holes.

10 INSTALLING OVEN ACCESSORIES
USING YOUR OVEN
Understanding your oven functions
Your oven will have a selection of the following functions.
Refer to “Description of your appliance” to confirm what
functions are available to you.
Large oven
Rapid Heat/Fast Heat Up (FHU)
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 with standard
“Bake”. “Rapid heat” is ideal for cooking frozen precooked 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.
Fan Bake
Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan. This
fan circulates 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.
Steam Assisted Cooking (WVE617 model only)
Perfect for all kinds of meat, poultry and fish dishes. The
hot air ensures the outside of the food is sealed whilst
the steam keeps the inside tender. Steam comes from the
outlet pipe and heat comes from the element surrounding
the fan. This fan circulates the hot air and steam around
the oven cavity so that you can position the food
anywhere in the oven. The browning of meat or fish will
be perfect, with the best cooking result at the core. Shape
will be preserved and evenly firm. Vegetables will retain a
high level of nutrients.
NOTE: Steam will only start if the water tank has
been filled and the oven temperature is above 130°C.
Base Heat
Heat comes from the element below the food. 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.
Bake/Pizza
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food. The bottom element is a clean heat
element and is below the floor of the oven. Both elements
are controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off
to maintain the set temperature. You can use the “Bake”
function for a single tray of biscuits, scones, muffins,
cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and
delicate egg dishes.
Fan Assist
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food. The fan circulates the hot air around
the oven cavity so that you can put the food in different
places in the oven and still cook them at the same time.
You should only use a maximum of 2 shelves with “Fan
assist”. Do not use the bottom shelf. If two shelves are
used, the food on the shelf in the higher position will cook
first and should then be removed to allow the food on the
lower shelf to finish cooking.
11USING YOUR OVEN
USING YOUR OVEN
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.
Pizza + Steam (WVE617 model only)
This function creates a great pizza in terms of crispy
crust and uniform browning on top. “Pizza + Steam” is
a combination of “Base heat”, “Fan bake” and “Steam”
and offers you the combined benefits of each of these
functions. Heat comes from the element surrounding the
fan as well as the clean heat element below the oven floor.
NOTE: Steam will only start if the water tank has been
filled and the oven temperature is above 130°C.
Defrost
The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air which is
circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food
before you cook it. Also you may use “Defrost” to raise
yeast dough or to dry fruit, vegetables or herbs.
Fan Grill (grill in oven models only)
“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 fan
circulates the heated air. The oven door remains closed
for fan grill. You can use “Fan grill” for large cuts of meat
in the oven which gives 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 temperature to 180°C.
Steam Reheat (WVE617 model only)
A great function for reheating dishes like rice, pasta and
pizza that can suffer from dryness in normal ovens or
sogginess in microwave ovens. Steam comes from the
outlet pipe and heat switches from between the element
surrounding the fan and the clean heat element below the
oven floor. This function has a set temperature of 130°C.
NOTE: Steam will only start if the water tank has been
filled and the oven temperature is above 130°C.
130°C
Grill (grill in oven models only)
“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.
12 USING YOUR OVEN
Maxi Grill (grill in oven models only)
Fan Assist (duo small oven only)
“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.
Pyro Clean (WVEP615 & WVEP618 models only)
The “Pyrolytic cleaning” function is used for cleaning
the main oven. It cleans by burning off the spatters and
temperature. This process produces ash which can be
wiped out of the oven cavity.
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food. The fan circulates the hot air around the
oven cavity to deliver very even cooking.
Grill (small oven only)
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. 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.
The grill dish should be positioned between the upper
pair of support rails.
NOTE: Grill with the grill door open.
Small oven/grill
1. Bake (duo small oven only)
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food. The bottom element is a clean heat
element and is below the floor of the oven. Both elements
are controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off
to maintain the set temperature. You can use the “Bake”
function for a single tray of biscuits, scones, muffins,
cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and
delicate egg dishes.
Split Grill (small oven only)
The “Split grill” works in the same way as a full width grill
but with the added advantage of being able to optimise
the energy usage for smaller servings.
NOTE: Grill with the grill door open.
13USING YOUR OVEN
WARNING
USING YOUR OVEN (CONTINUED)
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
Cooling/Venting fan
This 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 the oven and blow warm air across the top
of the oven door.
NOTE: For selected models only, if the oven is still hot
from cooking, the cooling fan will keep running to cool the
oven down and will switch off by itself once cool.
Condensation and steam
This appliance is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This steam makes it possible to
cook in a steamy environment ensuring that dishes are
soft inside and crusty on the outside. This process also
reduces cooking time and energy consumption. During
cooking, steam may be produced and released when the
door is opened. This is absolutely normal. When food is
heated, it produces steam in the same way a boiling kettle
does. When steam comes into contact with the oven door
glass, it will condense and produce water droplets. To
reduce condensation, ensure that the oven is pre-heated
before placing food in the oven cavity. It is recommended
that condensation is wiped away after each use of
the oven.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour
etc. which affects the way they transfer heat to the food.
• Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
• Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
• To increase base browning simply lower the shelf
position. To increase top browning, raise the
shelf position.
• Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.
• Single level cooking gives best results in conventional
modes. If cooking on more than one level use a fan
cooking function.
Operating your oven temperature selector (selected
models only)
A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance.
The temperature can be selected within the specified
range. To set the temperature, turn the temperature
selector in a clockwise direction to the desired setting. An
indicator light above the temperature selector will come
on. When the set temperature is reached, the element
switches off and the indicator light goes off. When the
oven temperature falls below the set temperature, the
element switches on and the oven indicator light comes
on again.
CAUTION
Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector
back in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not force it right
round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage
to the thermostat.
NOTE: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking
function must be selected before the oven will operate.
Once the desired function has been selected, use the
temperature selector to set the required temperature.
Pre-heating your appliance
For best results when baking you must pre-heat the
oven for 30 minutes. Pre-heat the grill for 3 minutes to
obtain best results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it
to reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently.
When baking bread or cakes, load the oven as quickly as
possible after pre-heating and leave the oven door open
for the shortest time. This will minimise loss of heat from
the oven and ensure the best results.
Pre-heating with “Rapid Heat” (selected models only)
For electric multifunction appliances preheat your oven
by selecting the “rapid heat” function. This function allows
your oven to reach the preset temperature quicker than
any other cooking function.
• Turn the function selector to “Rapid Heat”.
• Set the desired pre-heat temperature, by rotating
your oven temperature selector. When the indicator
light goes out the oven has reached the desired
preset temperature. Select the oven function you
require for cooking or baking and place your food
into the oven.
Pre-heating with “Fast Heat Up - FHU” (WVE617 and
WVE618 models only)
“Fast Heat Up” can be selected in the initial heat up phase
of any cooking function. During “Fast Heat Up”, the 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 on standard “Bake”.
Pre-heating with other functions
• It is recommended you preheat your appliance when
cooking or baking.
• Set the desired pre-heat temperature, by rotating
your oven temperature selector. When the indicator
light goes out the oven has reached the desired
preset temperature, place your food into the oven.
Pre-heating “grill”
• Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best
results. This will help to seal the natural juices of
steak, chops and other meats for a better flavour.

General features
The oven is equipped with an electronic clock that can
be used to turn the oven on and off automatically. The
‘Cook time’ function automatically turns the oven off after
a set amount of time. The ‘End time’ function is used to
set the time of day you want the cooking cycle to finish. A
“Delayed start” is possible by combining the “Cook time”
and “End time” features to switch the oven on and off at a
specific time during the day.
NOTE: Your touch control clock only operates with your
main oven.
