Demo Mode
The oven can be set to operate in a demo (eg. in a retail

procedure above.
•   Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will 
prevent the splattering of oil on the sides of the oven 
and the oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave 
residue which is very difficult to remove.
•   When cooking things which require a high heat from 
below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone 
tray in the desired shelf position.
•   For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished 
or non-stick utensils.
•   Always remove unnecessary trays or dishes when 
roasting or baking.
Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at 
the same time. For example:
•   Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.
•   Cook a roast dinner at the same time as you cook 
chips or vegetables.
It is not recommended to use more than 2 shelves at a time. 
When cooking with 2 shelves use an oven fan function.
Oven shelf location (excluding WVEP615)
Your oven has seven positions for shelves. These are 
numbered from 1 (the lowest shelf position) to 7 (the 
highest shelf position). See diagram.
To give maximum space above and below the shelves, 
load them in this way:
•  When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3 or 4. 
•   When cooking with 2 shelves, use positions 3 and 5.

Oven shelf location (WVEP615)
Your oven comes with formed “easy clean” runners that 
allow five positions for shelves. These are numbered 
from 1 (the lowest shelf position) to 5 (the highest shelf 
position). See diagram. 
To give maximum space above and below the shelves, 
load them in this way:
•  When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3.
•  When cooking with 2 shelves, use positions 2 and 4.

Safety cut-out feature
The oven will automatically switch “Off” if the temperature is 
not adjusted or the appliance is left operating for a period of 
time. The oven switches itself off after:
1.   20 hours when the temperature is set between 30°C 
and 120°C.
2.   8.5 hours when the temperature is set between 120°C

TIPS & INFORMATION
 IMPORTANT
•   Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
•   Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch 
it on.
•   Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the 
side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat and 
ensures even cooking.
•   Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
•   Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with 
other foods. This will cause food to steam and 
not brown.
•   
After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some 
time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.

Roasting meat
• 
 Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature between 
180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to wrap your meats 
in an oven roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils from 
splattering, making it easier to clean your oven.)
•   Use the grill/oven dish and grill insert. Place the meat on 
the insert.
•   
Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to escape.
•   
When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the oven, 
wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand for about 10 minutes. 
This will help retain the juices when the meat  
is carved. 
The table shows temperatures and cooking times for  
different kinds of meat. These may vary depending on the 
thickness or bone content of the meat.
