Safety and warnings

This symbol alerts you to hazards such as fire, electrical shock, or other potential
injuries. It also warns you of things that may cause damage to your oven.

Important safety precautions

Read all the instructions before using the oven. Use the oven only for its intended purpose

as described in these instructions.

Proper installation. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified

technician.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or

injured or a fire could start.

Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area

where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose fitting or hanging garments when using the

appliance. They could ignite or melt if they touch an element or hot surface or you could be
burned.

User servicing: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically

recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Storage in or on appliance: flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near

surface units.

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam type

extinguisher.

Use only dry oven mitts or potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces could

result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot or heating elements. Do not use
a towel or a bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch fire.

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard

Accessible parts will become hot when in use.

Children should be kept away and care should be taken.

Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
oven, follow the ‘Important safety precautions’ listed below:

5

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or

replacing food.

Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the

container to burst and result in injury.

Always keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

Placement of oven racks: always position oven racks (shelves) in the desired location while

oven is cool. If a rack must be removed while the oven is hot do not let the oven mitts or
potholder contact hot heating elements in the oven or the base of the oven.

Do not clean the door seal (gasket) or cavity seal or use any oven cleaning products on

them. They are essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the
gaskets.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any

kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

Clean only the parts listed in the manual.

Before self-cleaning the oven remove broiler pan and other utensils.

Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven. Heating elements may be

hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among these
surfaces are the oven vent, the surface near the oven vent, and the oven door and window,
could also become hot enough to cause burns.

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of California
to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Small amounts of harmful chemicals are given off in
the oven’s self-cleaning cycle from insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure
to these substances can cause cancer and reproductive harm. Venting with a hood or open
window, and wiping out excess food spills prior to self-cleaning the oven reduces exposure.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean your oven.

Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or

injured while climbing on it.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or not working properly.

Do not install or use a damaged appliance. If you receive a damaged product, contact your

dealer or installer immediately.

Anyone with a disability that may limit their ability to use the appliance should have a

competent person instruct them in its use. This person should be satisfied that they can then
use the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.

Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s instructions.

right are for the lower cavity.

Preheating your oven

Preheat your oven when using the following modes: TRUEAERO, AEROBAKE, BAKE,

AEROPASTRY and PASTRY BAKE. Preheating your oven is not required when using ROAST and
AEROBROIL.

Position shelves in the oven before preheating.

When your oven is preheating, your selected cooking temperature is displayed alternately

with the actual oven temperature. When the oven has reached the selected temperature
an audible beep will sound and the temperature display will change from orange to green
(brushed stainless steel models) or orange to blue (Iridium stainless steel models).

The AeroTech® oven is equipped with a fast preheat function. In TRUEAERO, AEROBAKE, BAKE,

AEROPASTRY and PASTRY BAKE modes it will heat to 345 ºF (175 ºC) from cold in under 10
minutes and to 425 ºF (220 ºC )in under 15 minutes.

Note: if you want to change the oven mode and/or temperature during operation, turn the
oven mode and temperature dials to OFF then wait for the temperature and mode lights to
turn off before selecting your new settings. This will reactivate the fast preheat function.

9

Oven modes

Your Fisher & Paykel AeroTech® oven has nine cooking modes plus WARM and SELF CLEAN.
These modes use different combinations of elements and the convection fan to give you
maximum flexibility when cooking.

TRUEAERO: convection fan plus fan element

TRUEAERO is a very flexible method of cooking. A concealed heating element
surrounding the fan in the rear of the oven heats air, which is then blown into
the cavity. The consistent temperature creates an ideal oven environment
giving baking which is well risen and evenly coloured. Cookies are crisp on the
outside and chewy in the middle, meat and poultry is delicously browned and
sizzling while remaining juicy and tender. Casseroles are cooked to perfection
and reheating is quick and efficient. TRUEAERO is the mode to choose for multi­shelf cooking and complete oven meals.

AEROBAKE: convection fan plus upper and lower elements

The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and lower concealed
elements and distributes it around the oven cavity. Food cooked using
the AEROBAKE mode tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on
conventional modes like BAKE. AEROBAKE is great for crisping pastry in lemon
meringue pie and vegetable phyllo parcels. AEROBAKE at a low temperature
– 125 °F (50 °C) – is ideal for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.

BAKE: upper and lower elements

Heat comes from the top outer and lower concealed elements. BAKE is the
conventional cooking mode, suitable for single shelf cooking. It is ideal for
foods that require long cooking periods or cooking at low temperatures, like
meringues and rich fruitcakes.

AEROPASTRY: convection fan plus lower element

Heat from the lower concealed element is circulated throughout the oven cavity
by the oven fan. Excellent for sweet and savory pastry foods, for moist breads
and brownies and cookies that you want extra chewy.

PASTRY BAKE: lower element

Heat comes from the lower element only. This is a traditional cooking mode
which is suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens. For best
results, cook on only one shelf at a time. It is perfect for foods that require
delicate cooking and have a pastry base, like custard tarts, quiches and
cheesecake or anything that does not require direct heat and browning on the
top surface.

10

WARM

WARM is a constant low heat of 165 °F (75 °C). It is excellent for keeping cooked
food hot and warming plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold, use
TRUEAERO and change to WARM only when the food is piping hot, as this mode
will not bring cold food up to a temperature high enough to kill any harmful
bacteria.

ROAST

ROAST is a two-step program that has been developed to help you cook
delicious roasts effortlessly. Place the meat in the cold oven and the first stage
will sear the meat at a high temperature for 20 minutes to crisp and brown the
exterior. The oven then automatically drops to a lower, selected temperature for
the remainder of the cooking time, giving you a moist and juicy roast. ROAST
can be used with or without the cooking probe and is also great for cooking
vegetables.

BROIL: upper inner element

BROIL delivers intense heat from the inner region of the top element. Great
when you need to quickly broil smaller dishes, for example Crème Brulee, or
one to two portions of your usual favorites, like crispy chicken breasts or a steak.
Broil takes a minute or so to warm up and is carried out with the door closed.
Power levels are expressed as a percentage from LO (50% power) to HI (100%
power).

MAXIBROIL: upper inner and outer elements

MAXIBROIL delivers intense heat from the entire top element. It is the most
suitable mode for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top
of potato gratin and frittata as well as cooking smaller cuts of meat. Use
MAXIBROIL to toast bread or as well as broiling your favorite chicken, fish and
steak. MAXIBROIL takes a minute or so to warm up and is carried out with the
door closed. Power levels are expressed as a percentage from LO (50% power)
to HI (100% power).

AEROBROIL: fan plus upper inner and outer elements

AEROBROIL produces food with a finish that is similar to a rotisserie. Meat,
poultry and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside
while the inside remains moist and tender. Try using this mode with foods you
might usually fry, like meatballs. It is great for chops, cutlets and beef burgers as
well as vegetables.

11

SELF CLEAN

This oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle that takes care of the mess
and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. During self-clean
cycles the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking and this
burns off and breaks down soil and grease deposits. A smoke eliminator and
active venting system eradicates odor. The ash residue that remains can simply
be removed from the cool oven with a damp cloth or sponge.

The cooling fan

A cooling fan will come on automatically when most oven modes are used, and blow air out
below the oven door. The cooling fan may continue to run after the oven is switched off to
keep the door and control panel cool.

12

Shelf positions

Optilevel™

The Optilevel™ shelving system allows you to choose the optimum cooking level within the
oven. Placing the shelves on or between the shelf support runners provides 13 cooking
positions to choose from.

Organize the shelves prior to heating the oven. Generally, the shelf positions located in the
top of the oven are suitable for broiling. Shelves in the middle and lower region of the oven
are suitable for baking, roasting and casseroles. For more specific information on which shelf
position to use, refer to the ‘Cooking charts’.

Your oven shelves come with built-in
stop locks for your safety. This means
when inserted properly they will not
tilt when pulled towards you.

To insert shelves

Position the shelves so that the
single

^

towards you, as shown, and slide the
shelf right to the back of the oven.
Shelves will feel very stable when
inserted correctly.

Accessories

Three-piece broil/roast system

The three-piece broil/roast system (made up of the pan, grid and rack) is designed to prevent

hot fat and juices in the broil pan splattering throughout the oven.

All pieces can be used together as one complete unit, or in different combinations.

Glass tray (not supplied with all models)

This is made of extremely tough glass and is perfect oven-to-tableware.

The glass tray is great for all broiling and baking modes.

Wash in hot soapy water or the dishwasher. Soaking with a little dishwasher detergent will

help to remove stubborn stains.

Cookie sheets

The cookie sheets have a non-stick finish and need only a light coating of cooking spray or

greasing before use.

Their dark color absorbs heat and you may find that your favorite recipes cook more quickly

than on old shiny trays. Alternatively, you can reduce the oven temperature by approximately
60-70 °F (15-20 °C).

Allow your baking to cool for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven before removing it

from the tray using a wooden or Teflon spatula.

Always remove food before it is completely cold. In most cases wiping with a paper towel is

all that is needed to clean the trays.

Pizza stone and paddle (not supplied with all models)

Your pizza stone will allow you to cook a pizza like one cooked in an authentic pizza oven.

Using the pizza stone is a great way to cook bought, ready-made pizzas as well as home-made

ones.

If cooking frozen pizza, allow it to defrost completely before placing on the hot pizza stone.

Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the cooking cycle to begin. Typical

food to avoid include those containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups, cooked and
uncooked meats, poultry and fish.

If cooking will not begin immediately, place only very cold or frozen food in the oven.

Most unfrozen food should never stand in the oven for more than two hours before
cooking begins.

Do not allow food to remain in the oven for more than one hour after completion of the

cooking cycle.

WARNING!

Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed cooking modes.

To avoid potential spoiling of food and sickness, take the following steps:

17

Oven operation

Cooking probe

Use your cooking probe to accurately judge
when your meat is perfectly cooked. The
probe can be used on TRUEAERO, AEROBAKE,
ROAST, AEROBROIL and BAKE modes.

Using the cooking probe

1

Select the oven mode and temperature and

preheat the oven if appropriate. ROAST does
not require preheating.

2

Insert as much of the metal cooking probe

as possible horizontally into the thickest part
of the fully defrosted meat. The thicker the meat,
the longer it will take to cook, so it is important
that the probe is measuring the temperature of the meat at its thickest point. Make sure the
probe does not touch bone, fat or gristle, as this will give you a false reading.

3

Place the meat on the three-piece broil/roast system.

4

When the oven has preheated (if required) to the set temperature place the broil/roast system

in the oven and insert the plug end of the cooking probe into the probe socket, using an oven
mitt if the oven is hot. The probe socket is on the left hand side of the oven, halfway down
between shelf positions three and five. Make sure the probe is pushed into the socket, then
close the oven door.

5

Select the upper or lower cavity for double oven models using the oven cavity selector button.

6

Press the PROBE button on the control panel. The pre-set temperature of 150 °F (65 °C) and

PROBE will light up in the display. If you want to select a different internal food temperature
from the preset temperature, rotate the

PUSH TO

CLEAR

button while the PROBE symbol is flashing.

For temperature guidelines, see ‘Cooking charts’.

To cancel the cooking probe

To cancel the probe setting before the set temperature has been reached press the
button then the

PUSH TO

CLEAR

button.

Tips for using the cooking probe

The display will show the actual internal temperature. To look at the set internal temperature

press

PROBE.

The oven will beep and automatically turn off when the set internal temperature has been

reached. The temperature and oven mode displays will remain on and the oven light will go
out.

Return the oven to manual mode by pressing the

PUSH TO

CLEAR

button. Turn the oven mode

dial and temperature dials to OFF.

The cooking probe can be used with automatic cooking functions. If the probe reaches the

set temperature before the stop time is reached the probe will turn the oven off.

The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by 5-15 °F (2-8 °C) after you have

removed it from the oven so allow for this in your calculations.

Important!

Use only the cooking probe supplied with your AeroTech® oven.
Hold the cooking probe at the ‘handles’ when inserting and removing it from food and the

cooking probe socket.

Remember to remove the cooking probe from the oven before you start a self-clean cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
Only use the probe with food that is fully defrosted.

Roasting

ROAST is a two-step program. It has an initial 20 minute searing stage to brown the roast and
caramelize the meat juices, then a reduction to your set temperature for the remainder of the
cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast that is full of flavor. Little browning takes
place after the initial 20 minute searing.

Using the ROAST mode

1

Place the meat on the three-piece broil/roast system on a shelf so that the top of the roast is in

the center of the oven or lower.

2

Select ROAST using the oven mode dial. Select the temperature. When using the ROAST

mode, there is no need to preheat the oven.

Use automatic/delayed start cooking if you want your oven to automatically turn on/off. For

suggested roasting times and temperatures see ‘Cooking charts’.

Tips for a successful roast

The initial searing is too hot for ‘roasting bags’. Use TRUEAERO, AEROBAKE or BAKE if you are

using roasting or oven bags and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Tender cuts should be cooked at a high temperature quickly, while tougher cuts require a

lower temperature for a longer time.

For perfect results use the meat probe to take out the guesswork.

Placing the meat on the wire broil/roast rack allows hot air to circulate around it and gives

more even browning.

Thick pieces of meat take longer to cook than thin pieces of the same weight. Meat cooks by

absorbing heat from the outer surface to the middle. The thicker the meat the longer it will
take to cook.

Roasts containing bones cook more quickly than boneless or rolled roasts due to the bone

conducting heat throughout the meat. Stuffed roasts will take longer to cook.

19

Selecting the cooking time for your roast depends on your personal preference. Meat taken

straight from the refrigerator will take longer to cook.

Poultry should always be well cooked with the juices running clear.

Roasting is a method of cooking meat that uses dry heat. Don’t add water to your roast as this

has a steaming effect.

Vegetables are excellent cooked on ROAST. Clean and cut them into large chunks, coat lightly

with oil, season and place in a single layer on the greased glass tray. Select ROAST using the
oven mode dial and 340 °F (175 °C). Place in the oven on a shelf in position eight. Cook for
35 – 45 minutes, depending on size and type of vegetable, until golden brown and tender.
Vegetables can be placed on the broiling system, around meat if they are going to take
approximately the same length of time to cook. Longer than about two hours will overcook
the vegetables so put them in the oven partway through cooking a large piece of meat. The
vegetables will brown more slowly if they have missed the initial searing stage of the ROAST
mode so allow plenty of time to cook them thoroughly, up to two hours at 320-340 °F (150­175 °C).

Broiling

Your AeroTech® oven gives you a choice of BROIL , MAXIBROIL and AEROBROIL
For many meats broiling is considered to be a healthier alternative to frying. Broiling is a
relatively quick method of cooking foods producing superior flavor and is also a great way to
cook vegetables. Carry out all broiling with the oven door completely closed.

When using AEROBROIL the upper elements are on and the hot air is circulated around the
oven by the oven fan. AEROBROIL is suitable for foods that you might normally pan fry,
barbecue or rotisserie, for larger cuts of meat and whole chickens.

Using the broil modes

1

Place food on top of the broil/roast pan, grid and rack.

2

Select the shelf position you want to broil at - see ‘Cooking charts’ for suggested shelf

positions, times and temperatures.

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard

Hot steam may be produced when using BROIL, MAXIBROIL, or
AEROBROIL modes.

Take care when opening the oven door and always use oven mitts or pot
holders to handle hot cooking utensils.

Failure to do so could result in burns or scalds.

20

Tips for successful broiling

Position the oven shelves before you turn the oven on.

To make cleaning the broil/roast system easier, spray the rack, grid and inside of the pan with a

light coating of non-stick cooking spray before use.

For best results allow the broil element to warm up for a minute or two before putting food in

the oven.

Use the timer to time the broiling process if desired.

Keep the oven door closed.

We recommend using the three-piece broil/roast system provided with your AeroTech® oven.

This has been specifically designed to reduce splatter and smoke. If you do use other glass or
ceramic dishes and pans, be sure that they can withstand the high temperature of the broil.

Basting lean meat, fish or chicken with a marinade or juices while broiling will add flavour and

moisture.

If turning meat halfway through the cooking time, use tongs or a spatula. Avoid piercing meat

with a knife or fork as this will allow juices to escape, making the meat less moist.

Baking

Tips for successful baking

When baking, make sure the cake tins do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.

Stagger tins across shelves if necessary and use TRUEAERO

for multi-shelf cooking. Do not

open the oven door until at least

3

/4 through the suggested cooking time.

Baking pans that are made of dark, dull metals are recommended in appliances with a

concealed lower element like the AeroTech® oven. They absorb heat and often cook and
brown food faster than reflective, shiny aluminum pans and sheets.

Important!

Do not place aluminum foil, dishes with reflective qualities or any object on the oven floor
as this will cause a heat build-up which will result in irreversible damage to the porcelain
enamel.

Multi-shelf cooking

Multi-shelf cooking is very successful using the TRUEAERO mode. The AeroTech® advanced
cooking system allows you to bake several different foods simultaneously on different levels
giving you increased flexibility - as well as saving time. TRUEAERO is well suited to batch
baking of cookies, biscuits, and muffins as well as complete oven meals. See ‘Cooking charts’
for suggested times, temperatures and shelf positions for multi-shelf cooking.

21

Dehydrating, and proofing bread

Tips for dehydrating

To obtain a high quality dried product, select only unblemished, mature fruit.

Wash fruit thoroughly and pat dry. Peel if desired. Unpeeled fruit will take longer to dry.

Remove stones, stems or pips if necessary. Place fruit on a baking tray on a shelf in the oven.

We recommend using TRUEAERO or AEROBAKE at 125 °F (50 °C).

Tips for proofing bread

Your AeroTech® oven provides an ideal sealed environment to proof bread.

Preheat the oven on BAKE at 80 °F (30 °C). When you are ready to proof the dough, turn the

temperature and mode to off and place the dough in a covered bowl on a shelf in the warm
oven. It will be the perfect temperature to proof dough and the AeroTech® oven is so well
insulated that it will stay warm for several hours.

Note: Some recipes recommend putting water or ice in the oven with the bread dough during

baking. The additional moisture improves the bread crust.

You must place the water or ice in a dish and on an oven shelf in positions 12 or 13. Do not

put it directly onto the oven floor. Placing water, ice or any dish or tray directly on the oven
floor irreversibly damages the porcelain enamel.

Roasting meat

We recommend you use the cooking probe to accurately judge when meat is cooked to your
preference. ‘Time per pound/450 g’ is a rough guide and should only be used to estimate
when the meat will be ready. Cooking with ROAST, TRUEAERO, AEROBAKE, and AEROGRILL will
take less time than with BAKE.

Cleaning

Important!

Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, pumice cleaners, polishes or commercial
oven cleaners to clean your oven.

Important!

If you choose to use a commercial stainless steel cleaner, please read the label to make
sure it does not contain chlorine compounds as these are corrosive and may damage the
appearance of your oven. Clean the stainless steel surfaces with the grain, in a horizontal
motion.

Cleaning the control panel

It may be useful to lock the oven controls prior to cleaning – see ‘Control panel lock’ in ‘User
Select options’ for details.

Brushed and Iridium stainless steel

Clean with a commercial stainless steel cleaner, see ‘Important’ above, or wipe with a clean

damp cloth and dry with a lint-free cloth.

Regular use of a stainless steel cleaner will reduce fingerprints and other marks.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on stainless steel, as they will permanently damage the surface.

Cleaning the glass door

Clean the exterior glass surface with a mild solution of detergent and warm water.

Use a glass cleaner to remove any smears or fingerprints.

Dry the glass using a soft lint-free cloth.

Note: The interior oven door glass will be cleaned during a self-clean cycle.

WARNING!

Hot Surface and Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure all oven controls are turned off and the oven is cool before
cleaning.

Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.

35

Cleaning the porcelain enamelled surfaces

The oven interior and inner door liners are porcelain enamelled and are cleaned during the self­clean cycle.

Important!

Do not use any oven cleaners, oven cleaning products or abrasives on the porcelain

enamel.

Do not clean the door seal (gasket) or cavity seal or use any oven cleaning products on

them. They are essential for a good seal and the efficient operation of the oven and care
should be taken not to rub, damage or move the seals.

Cleaning the three-piece broil/roast system and oven shelves and shelf
supports

The broil/roast system, oven shelves and self supports can be cleaned using a solution of

detergent and hot water. They are also dishwasher safe.

If particularly soiled, soak in a solution of hot water and biological clothes washing powder to

make cleaning easier.

To remove the shelf supports

1

Lift the lever to unlock the shelf support.

2

Lift the shelf support up and away from the side wall of the cavity to clear the locating pin.

3

Pull the shelf support toward you and out of the oven.

To replace the shelf supports

1

Align the two notches on the rear edge of the shelf support with the two pins to the rear of

the oven cavity.

2

Replace the front of the shelf support against the wall of the oven cavity. Be sure the locating

pin slots into place.

3

Lock the shelf support into position by shifting the lever into the horizontal position where it

will ‘click’ into place.

36

SELF CLEAN mode

This oven features a pyrolytic self-clean cycle.

During a self-clean cycle the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking and

this burns off and breaks down soil and grease deposits.

A smoke eliminator and active venting system removes and breaks down the smoke, fumes

and odors.

The ash residue that remains is easily removed from the cool oven with a small brush and a

damp cloth or sponge.

A self-clean cycle normally takes about three hours. This time can be reduced to as low as two

hours.

Only one oven in a double oven can be self-cleaned at a time.

When one oven is in a self-clean cycle, the other oven cannot be used for cooking.

Important safety instructions

Wipe up any large food spills or grease deposits before starting a self-clean cycle.

Do not use oven cleaners. Do not use any commercial oven cleaner, oven liner or

protective coating of any kind in or around any part of the oven.

Remove oven shelves and shelf supports (see ‘Cleaning’) before starting a self-clean cycle.

If left in the oven, they will permanently discolour.

Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.

Do not clean the door seal or cavity seal, or use any oven cleaning products on them. They

are essential for the efficient operation of the oven and care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move them.

37

Using the SELF CLEAN mode

1

Remove oven shelves, shelf supports (see ‘Cleaning’) and all other cookware/utensils from the

oven before using the SELF CLEAN mode.

2

At the completion of the self-clean cycle, you will notice grey ash deposited inside the oven.

The amount of ash in the oven is dependent on the amount of soil present in the oven before
it was cleaned. When the oven is completely cooled, the ash is easily removed with a small
brush or dry cloth, then wipe out the oven with a clean damp cloth and dry with a clean
lint-free cloth.

Troubleshooting

Fault codes

If there is a fault, the oven will beep every second, and a fault code will appear in the clock
display as a letter ‘F’ with a number after it.

Important!

Do not turn off the main power supply to the oven if you get a fault code. The fans are
needed to cool the oven.

For safety, this oven is designed to self-cool. Turning off the power while the oven is
hot may damage the oven and its surrounding cabinetry.

If you get a fault code:

1

Note the fault code.

2

Turn the temperature and oven mode dials to OFF.

3

Press the

PUSH TO

CLEAR

button. The oven may have already self-corrected, and this will be

enough to clear the fault.

4

Call your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre with the fault code information.

Note: if you are unable to immediately clear the fault code or contact your Fisher & Paykel
Authorised Service Centre, wait for the oven cooling fans to stop, and then press the

PUSH TO

CLEAR

button again. It is likely that the oven will now clear the fault. If it does not, then you

may turn the oven off at the wall once the fans have stopped and the oven has completely

cooled down.

‘Maintenance’ for details.

Oven not heating. Oven door is not properly

closed or opened too
frequently during operation.

Oven elements and fans turn off while
the door is open so be sure the oven
door is properly closed. Note: broil
modes are designed to operate with the
door closed.

Baked foods are
pale and under­cooked.

Shiny cookie sheets, tins,
or pans being used from
a previous oven with an
unconcealed lower element.

Shiny cookie sheets, tins, and pans reflect
the heat back towards the bottom of
the oven resulting in poor cooking
performance. Food tends to take longer
to cook and does not brown well. The
dark coloured accessories supplied with
the oven work efficiently by absorbing
heat and may reduce cooking times.

Maintenance

How to change the oven light bulbs

The oven is illuminated by three 12 volt/20 watt halogen bulbs. These have a very long life,
but if you should need to replace one, follow these steps:

1

Turn the oven off and allow it to cool.

2

Take out the shelves and use a small flat head screwdriver to twist and lift the retainer clip at

the top of the glass light cover while holding the glass to prevent it falling. The clip pivots
counter-clockwise (see the diagrams below).

3

Carefully lift the glass cover out of the lower support and pull out the faulty bulb.

4

Holding the replacement bulb in a soft cloth or tissue (touching the bulb will reduce its life

span), insert the new bulb. The two pins are vertically orientated.

5

Reposition the glass cover and twist the top clip back in place. The procedure is the same for

the light in the roof of the oven cavity.

WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard

Ensure the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp/light bulb.

Failure to do so could result in electrical shock.
