INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES
TIPS & INFORMATION
Installing your oven accessories
Side racks
The side racks that come with your oven can be
attached to either side of your oven.
• Insert the rear peg(s) 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.
• When locating the side racks into the small oven or
grill, ensure the left pegs go into the upper two holes.
Shelves and trays
IMPORTANT
The shelves are designed so that they have maximum
travel but cannot be accidentally pulled right out. The
trays are designed 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 detents have passed the front edge of the
side rack, the shelf can be pushed completely in.
• The grill/baking tray for separate grill wall oven
models slides into the wire runners in a similar
manner.
• When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere
with the closed oven door.
• Remove extra trays and dishes before roasting or
baking.
• To insert the grill tray in a separate grill underbench
product, open the grill door and fully extend the grill
drawer. Position the grill tray so that the slots on the
outer edges fit over the tabs on the slides.

7OVEN 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.
Oven
Refer to cooking guide for more information.
Fan bake
Heat comes from the gas “base heat” burner which is
then circulated by 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.
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 your “defrost” to
raise your yeast dough or to dry fruit, vegetables or herbs.
Grill
Refer to grilling guide for more information.
Grill (grill in oven models 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. 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.
Bake
Heat comes from the gas “base heat” burner below the
food. The bottom burner is below the floor of the oven
which is controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and
off to maintain the set temperature.
You can use the “bake” function for single trays of
biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked
puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.
• For best results use silver or shiny trays.
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.
8 OPERATION
Separate grill (separate grill models only)
TIPS & INFORMATION
WARNING
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.
For models with a separate grill, the door must be left
open while grilling.
IMPORTANT
Cooling/Venting fan
Your built-in 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 your oven or grill and will blow
warm air across the top of the oven or grill door.
NOTE: (Model WVG655 only) If the oven is still hot from
cooking, the cooling fan will keep running to cool the oven
down and will switch off automatically when cool.
Condensation
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.
• 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
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 and the oven burner will ignite. When the
set temperature is reached, the gas burner flame goes
out and the indicator light goes off. When the oven
temperature falls below the set temperature the flame
automatically re-ignites 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 preheat your oven
for 30 minutes. Preheat 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, only leaving the oven door
open for the shortest time. This will minimise loss of heat
from the oven and ensure the best results.
With “bake” or “fan bake”
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.
• It is recommended you preheat your appliance when
cooking or baking.
• Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your
oven temperature selector.
Once the oven has been preheated, place your food into
the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.
9OPERATION
USING YOUR OVEN (CONTINUED)
WARNING
With “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.
