BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
TIPS & INFORMATION
Setting the time
If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic or programmable timer, you must set the time of day before you can operate your appliance.
PUSH BUTTON AND TOUCH CONTROL ELECTRONIC CLOCK Models WFE912 & WFE914
•After the appliance has been electrically connected “12.00” will be displayed and the “clock” indicator will flash.
•To set the time of day, press – or +. 5 seconds after the last change, the “clock” indicator will disappear, confirming the time has been set.
Note: The clock has a 24-hour display.
Model wfe912
Model wfe914
Programmable Controller: models wfe916, wfe946 & wve916
•After the appliance has been electrically connected, the set clock symbol 
will flash on the clock display.
•To set the time of day, press – or +. 5 seconds after
the last change the timer arrow 
will disappear, confirming the time has been set. Once the time has been entered, the clock advances minute by minute.
NOTE: The clock has a 24-hour display.
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.
•New appliances can have an odour during first operation. It is recommended to ‘run in’ your oven before you cook for the first time. Run the oven at 180ºC for 2-4 hours and ensure that the room is well ventilated.
•DO NOT line the oven with foil, it will damage the enamel.
OPERATION 10
INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES
Prior to installing accessories, remove all packaging and remove plastic film from external panels
Catalytic liners (on selected models)
Catalytic liners are coated with a specially formulated enamel coating. This porous coating enables the “self cleaning” process – see Cleaning your appliance section for more details. 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 will attach to each side of your oven. There will be a left hand and right hand version. This 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 – see diagram.
Side racks
The side racks that come with your oven are fitted in the following manner
•Insert the 2 rear pegs into the holes provided
•Locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly.
11 INSTALLATION
INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES |
INSTALLING burners and trivets |
Shelves and trays
The shelves are designed so that they have maximum travel but cannot be accidentally pulled right out. The trays are designed in the same way and fit straight into the side racks.
•Locate the rear edge of the shelf/tray in between 2 guide rails of the side rack – see diagram. Ensure the same rail positions on both sides of the oven are being engaged.
•With the front edge raised, begin to slide the shelf into the oven.
•Once the indents have passed the front edge of the side rack, the shelf can be pushed completely in.
•When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with the closed door.
Installing burners
•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.
•The burner cap is simply positioned over the top of the burner crown.
NOTE: When the burner is correctly fitted it will sit level on the hob.

•Take care when placing the trivets as dropping them may damage the hob or trivet
•The wok trivet sits on top of the trivet above the wok burner

INSTALLATION 12
getting to know your gas cooktop
Using your gas hotplates
Note: Gas controls turn anticlockwise from ‘Off’ and have limited movement.
lighting burners
Electronic ignition
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.
Flame safeguard models WFE914 & WFE916
Models with flame safeguard have the same ignition procedure as electronic ignition, 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL TIPS
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.

13 USAGE
getting to know your ceramic cooktop
ceramic hotplates Model wfe946
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 1349.

WARNING
If the ceramic glass is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
The heating elements are concealed under the smooth glass surface which has a pattern to show the location of the elements.
•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 ceramic hotplates
