This document serves as a comprehensive user manual for the Westinghouse 60CM Upright Cooker, covering models WLE620WC, WLE624WC, WLE622WC, WLE625WC, WLE642WC, and WLE645WC. It provides essential information for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, ensuring safe and efficient use of the appliance.
The Westinghouse 60CM Upright Cooker is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for a range of cooking tasks, including baking, grilling, and hotplate cooking. It integrates multiple heating elements and control options to cater to diverse culinary needs.
The cooker features hotplates for stovetop cooking, with models offering either radiant coil hotplates or ceramic hotplates. Radiant coil hotplates heat rapidly from a cold start, providing economic use of power, and include removable elements and spillage bowls for easy cleaning. Ceramic hotplates, made from ceramic glass, are durable and withstand heating and cooling, though they require careful handling as they are still glass.
The oven section offers various cooking functions:
Some models are equipped with a warming drawer, which can be used to warm crockery prior to use. A general-purpose socket outlet may also be present on some models for additional convenience.
The cooker is designed for ease of use with clearly labeled control knobs for hotplates, oven temperature, and function selection. Hotplate control knobs adjust the temperature and can be rotated in either direction. An indicator lamp illuminates when a hotplate is active. The oven temperature control knob sets the desired baking temperature, and an oven indicator lamp cycles on and off to show when the oven element is heating to maintain the set temperature.
Function switches allow users to select specific cooking modes, often including an oven light for visibility. Models with separate grills have a dedicated grill temperature control knob and an indicator lamp.
Advanced models feature programmable clocks, which allow users to set the time of day, baking/grilling reminder times, and automatic cooking duration and stop times. The clock must be set before the oven can operate. Mechanical ringer timers are also available on some models for setting reminder times up to 120 minutes.
For oven use, preheating is recommended for best baking results, typically for 30 minutes. Oven shelves are designed for easy insertion and removal, with specific orientation to ensure stability. The manual provides guidance on shelf positions for optimal cooking results.
Safety is paramount, with warnings against operating hotplates without utensils, using oversized pans, or allowing pots to boil dry. For grilling, it's crucial to turn off the grill immediately after use to prevent fat fires and to keep the grill dish clean. The manual also advises against covering the grill rack with foil.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and safe operation of the Westinghouse cooker. The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning various parts of the appliance:
The manual also details how to remove and re-assemble the inner oven door glass for thorough cleaning. This involves opening the door fully, rotating stirrups, pressing release clips on the top trim, and gently sliding out the inner glass. When re-assembling, ensure the inner glass is correctly positioned and the clips snap back into place.
For safety, users are reminded to always turn off the appliance at the power supply before cleaning or replacing parts. The anti-tilt bracket is a mandatory safety restraint that must be securely anchored to the floor to prevent accidental tipping of the appliance. The product should be inspected every five years by an authorized service person to maintain safe operation.
