temperature is above the set temperature.
Demo Mode
The oven can be set to operate in a demo (eg. in a retail
store) mode. In this mode, the oven does not actually
heat if the oven has been inadvertently supplied in this
mode. The following instructions demonstrate how to exit
this mode.
1. Ensure the oven is “Off”
2. Press and hold “On/Off” until the display returns to
standby (unit will beep repeatedly whilst “On/Off” is
pressed)
3. Press and hold simultaneously the “Timer” and “-”
keys until three quick beeps are heard (approximately
2 seconds). The unit is now in Demo Mode and the
clock symbol will be displayed.
4. To deactivate Demo Mode, repeat the same
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.
Activating the child-proof lock
When the child lock is activated, the oven cannot be
switched on.
1. Switch off the appliance using “On/Off”.
2. Press and hold
and symbol at the same time
until the word “SAFE” appears on the display. The child-
proof lock is now engaged.
NOTE: When the child-proof lock function is activated, only
the time of day and minute minder can be set. For model
WVEP618, the oven door is also locked when the child lock is
activated.
De-activating the child-proof lock
1. Press and hold
and symbol at the same time
until the word “SAFE” is cleared from the display. The
child-proof lock is now disengaged and the oven is
ready to use.
Beep on touch
The “beep on touch” mode can be activated to sound
anytime a button is pressed.
1. Switch the appliance “Off” by pressing “On / Off”.
2. Press and hold
and symbol at the same time.
A single beep confirms mode is activated.
3. Repeat the procedure to de-activate.
NOTE: “On / Off” will continue to “beep on touch” when
mode is de-activated.
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
and 200°C.
3. 5.5 hours when the temperature is set between 200°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
