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 WLE524WC).
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.
