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.

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.

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.

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.

USING 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.

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

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.

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)

“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.

Fan Assist (duo small oven only)

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.

USING YOUR OVEN (CONTINUED)

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.

14 USING YOUR OVEN
