USING YOUR OVEN
Oven shelf location (excluding WVEP618)
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.

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.
