GRILLING GUIDE

Grilling hints
WARNING WARNING
Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use. Excessive
fat build up may cause a fire.
As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:
• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry
and meat.
• Seal the surface of the food and retain the
natural juices.
NOTE: Below is a table indicating the door position whilst
grilling for each of the product types.

Beef with oil or melted butter, especially if the
meat is very lean.
You can use loin chops, shortloin chops,
chump chops, and forequarter chops.
Lamb

curling. Brush with oil or melted butter.
Sausages Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.
Poultry Divide into serving pieces. Brush with oil.

frame directly.

GRILLING GUIDE
Guide to better grilling
TIPS & INFORMATION IMPORTANT
Definite times can not be given for grilling as it is
dependant on the size of the food and your own tastes.
These times should only be used as a rough guide and
remember to turn the food over halfway through the
cooking process (except with fan grill).
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
1. Remove oven/grill dish and grill insert and preheat
grill for about 3 minutes.
2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is
less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more
than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the
inside remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this
prevents fats and oils from draining away, which
could result in a fire.
4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil
or marinade.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface
allowing juices to escape.
MEAT TIME
Steak 15 - 20 minutes
Chops 20 - 30 minutes
Fish 8 - 10 minutes
Bacon 4 - 5 minutes
Fan grill (multifunction grill in oven models only)
If your appliance has fan grill as a function, this will assist
the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly around
the food. The recommended temperature setting is 180°C
for all fan grilling functions.
1. Place the oven/grill dish on the bottom rack.
2. Place meat/poultry on an oven shelf above the oven/
grill dish.
3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven
is still warm.
There is no need to turn the meat as both sides are
cooked at the same time.

STEAM ASSISTED COOKING

Cooking with steam is a great addition to straight 'hot
air' cooking. Steam brings out all the natural flavours and
goodness in the food, cooks evenly from surface to centre
and retains more nutrients and vitamins. Steam assisted
cooking consistently produces juicy, succulent interiors
with crisp, golden exteriors.
WARNING WARNING
Risk of burns and damage to the appliance
• Do not open the appliance door when the steam
function operates, with the exception of preheating.
• Open the appliance door with care after the steam
function stops.
• Refer to cleaning the appliance for cleaning after the
steam function operates.

WVEP618 model only
For hot steam, select Steam Cooking from the main
menu. Then select the desired function.
This oven has 4 dedicated steam functions that have
been individually tuned to produce the best result with a
combination of steam and heat application.
Steam bake – Steam comes from the outlet pipe and heat
comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan
circulates the hot air and steam around the oven cavity so
that you can put your food in different places in the oven.
This function is suggested for baking bread or general
bakery products.
Steam reheat – Great for reheating dishes like rice, pasta
and pizza that can suffer from dryness in normal ovens or
sogginess in microwave ovens.
Roast + Steam – Perfect for all kinds of meat, poultry and
fish dishes. The hot air ensures the outside is sealed whilst
the steam keeps the inside tender.
Pizza + Steam – This function creates a great pizza in
terms of crispy crust and uniform browning on top.
Steam operating sequence
1. Open the water drawer in the control panel by
pressing it.
2. Pour approximately 850mL of water into the
drawer. Stop filling if alarm sounds and "water tank
full" message is displayed.
3. Close the water drawer.
WARNING
WARNING
Take care when filling the water drawer. Spillage could
create a slipping hazard. Immediately clean up any spills
on the product, cabinet or floor. If the "water tank full"
alarm sounds immediately stop pouring water into the
water drawer. If the tank is overfilled the excess will flow
into the oven. This prevents leakage onto cabinets and is
not a fault. Sponge up overflows if they occur.
