SAFETY AND WARNINGS

Your oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking
procedures. Please keep the following safety instructions in mind when you are using it:

!

WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn the oven off at the wall before replacing the oven lamp.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock or death.

!

WARNING!

Fire Hazard
Follow the instructions on starting a Self Clean cycle carefully. Items made
from combustible materials (for example: wood, fabric, plastic) may catch
fire if left in the oven during a Self Clean cycle.
Do not place aluminium foil, dishes, trays, water or ice on the oven floor
during cooking, as doing so will irreversibly damage the enamel; lining the
oven with aluminium foil may even cause fire.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons could
be burned or injured or a fire could start.
Storage in or on appliance: flammable materials should not be stored in
an oven or near its surface.
Failure to follow this advice may result in overheating, burning, and injury.

!

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot when in use.
To avoid burns and scalds, keep children away.
Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as
oven shelves or dishes.
Use care when opening the oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
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.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or damage when using
theoven, follow the important safety instructions listed below:

●

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 earthed by a
qualified technician.

●

Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an
isolating switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.

●

Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.

●

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.

●

Children of less than 8 years old must be kept away from the appliance unless
continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and they understand the hazards
involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children without
supervision.

●

Do not place heavy objects on the oven door.

●

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 and you
could be burned.

3

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

●

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.

●

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a 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 areas or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or a bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch fire.

●

Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause
the container to burst and result in injury.

●

Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and
after cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food
poisoning. Take particular care during warm weather.

●

Always keep oven vents unobstructed.

●

Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote
control system.

●

Caution: Hot air can blow from the vent at the base of the oven as part of the oven’
cooling system.

●

Placement of oven shelves: always position shelves in the desired location while the
oven is cool (before preheating). If a shelf 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 oven seal or use any oven-cleaning products on it. It is essential for
a good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move it.

●

Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes.
Nocommercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they scratch the surface,
which may result in the glass shattering.

●

Clean only the parts listed in this manual.

●

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

●

Before starting a Self Clean cycle (some models only) remove oven shelves and all
other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.

●

Before starting a Self Clean cycle (some models only) make sure you move any pet
birds to another, closed and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during a Self Clean cycle and may die if left in the
same room as the oven during such a cycle.

●

During a Self Clean cycle (some models only) the oven reaches higher temperatures
than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than
usual and children should be kept away.

●

Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on the oven to retrieve items.

●

Do not install or operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly.
If you receive a damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.

●

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

●

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’ 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.

COOKING GUIDE

General guidelines

This oven has been designed to utilise its four elements and rear fan in differing
combinations to provide you with enhanced performance and a wide range of functions,
allowing you to cook all types of food to perfection.

BAKING

●

For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven. The temperature halo will
change from red to white when the pre-set temperature is reached.

●

While the oven is heating the broil element will be on.

●

We advise you do not open the door until at least 3/4 of the way through cooking.

●

Make sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.

●

When baking double the recipe (especially cookies) cook time may need to increase.

●

Your cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly than
reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature

●

Multi-shelf baking may also require a slight increase in cooking time.

Shelf Position Guide

●

Single shelf: Place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the
center of the oven cavity.

●

Multi shelf: Always leave a space between shelves to allow the air to circulate.

15

COOKING GUIDE

ROASTING

●

The Roast function is designed to brown the outside of the meat but still keep the inside
moist and juicy.

●

Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones.

●

Poultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal temperature
of 165°F (75oC).

●

If using a roasting bag, do not use the Roast function. The initial searing
stage is too hot for roasting bags. Use Fan Bake or Fan Forced and follow the
manufacturer’sinstructions.

●

When using the Roast function, do not cover your roast, as this will stop the searing
process browning the outside of the meat. If you prefer to roast in a covered pan, use
the Fan Bake function instead and increase the temperature by 70°F (20

●

Cook larger cuts of meat at a lower temperature for a longer time. The meat will cook
more evenly.

●

Always roast meat fat side up. That way, basting may not be required.

●

Always rest the meat for at least 10 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to settle.
Remember the meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it from
theoven.

●

Try our new Vent Bake function as an alternative for roasting pork. The drier atmosphere
will help to perfect your crackling.

Shelf Position Guide

Place the meat on a shelf so that the meat is in the center of the oven or lower.

BROILING

●

This is a healthier alternative to frying.

●

Always broil with the oven door completely shut.

●

If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high temperatures of
the broil.

●

To avoid piercing the meat and letting juices escape, use tongs or a spatula to turn the
meat halfway through cooking.

●

Brush meat with a little oil to help keep the meat moist during cooking. Alternatively
marinade the meat before broiling (but be aware that some marinades may burn easily).

●

Where possible broil cuts of meat of a similar thickness at the same time. This will
ensure even cooking.

●

Always keep a close watch on your food while broiling to avoid charring or burning.

o

C).

Shelf Position Guide

●

For thinner cuts of meat, toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.

●

Thicker cuts of meats should be broiled on lower shelves or at a lower broil setting to
ensure even cooking.

16

COOKING GUIDE

REHEATING

●

Use Bake, Fan Bake or Vent Bake to reheat food.

●

Bake and Vent Bake are particularly good for reheating pastry based items, as the base
heat will help re-crisp the pastry case.

●

Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful
bacteria.

●

Once hot, use the Warm function to keep the food warm.

Never reheat a food more than once.

Drip Channel

Any condensation that is formed during the cooking process will collect in the drip
channel. This can be wiped out using a sponge once the oven has cooled.

17

OVEN FUNCTIONS

IMPORTANT!

●

Depending on your model, you may only have some of these functions.

●

Use all the functions with the oven door closed.

Bake

upper outer and lower elements

●

Heat comes from both the upper and lower elements. The fan is not used in
thisfunction.

●

Ideal for cakes and foods that require baking for a long time or at low temperatures.

●

This function is not suitable for multi-shelf cooking.

Ideal for moist foods that take a longer time to cook eg rich fruit cake, or bread in
combination with Vent Bake.

Vent Bake

(some models only)

upper outer and lower elements with additional venting

●

Heat is produced by the upper and lower elements and additional oven venting is used
to remove excess moisture, reducing the formation of steam and condensation.

●

Vented baking allows the moisture content of the oven to be reduced, without
compromising the temperature.

●

The venting system results in gentle air movement without the need to use a fan.

●

It provides gentle browning without the `drying out’ effect of a fan.

●

Reducing the formation of condensation means it is perfect way to slow cook meat dishes.

●

You may switch from Bake to Vent Bake for foods that like a moist (steamy) start to the
cooking process and then benefit from a drier finish (such as bread).

●

Use Vent Bake at a low temperature 120oF (50oC) for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Ideal for foods such as:

- meringues

- Yorkshire pudding

- finishing off choux pastry, croissants, breads

- slow cooked meat dishes

- poached foods (fish, chicken)

- dishes where initial crisping of the outside is desired (eg pork belly)

18

OVEN FUNCTIONS

Aero Bake

fan plus upper outer and lower elements

●

The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower elements and
distributes it around the oven cavity.

●

Food cooked tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the traditional
Bakefunction.

●

You may need to decrease the time from that recommended in traditional recipes.

Ideal for single shelf baking that takes less than an hour to cook – foods such as muffins,
biscuits and cupcakes or things like enchiladas.

Maxi Broil

upper inner and outer elements

●

Intense radiant heat is delivered from both top elements.
There are 9 steps between ‘Lo’ and ‘Hi’ (100% power).

●

Preheating is not essential although some people prefer to allow the element to heat
fora few minutes before they place food under the broil.

●

The temperature halo will remain red while using the broil function.

●

The most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top
of potato gratin and frittata.

Ideal for toasting bread or for top browning to ‘finish off dishes’.

19

OVEN FUNCTIONS

Aero Broil

(some models only)

fan plus upper inner and outer elements

●

This function uses the intense heat from the elements for top browning and the fan
toensure even cooking of foods.

●

Meat, poultry and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside
while the inside remains moist and tender.

Ideal for whole chicken, tenderloin of beef or broiling your favourite chicken, fish
orsteak.

True Aero

fan and rear element

●

By using the central rear heating element and fan, hot air is blown into the cavity,
providing a consistent temperature at all levels, making it perfect for multi-shelf cooking.

●

Trays of cookies cooked on different shelves are crisp on the outside and chewy in
themiddle.

●

Meat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.

●

Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and efficient.

●

When multi-shelf cooking it is important to leave a gap between trays
(eg use shelves 3 & 5) to allow the air to move freely. This enables the browning of
foods on the lower tray.

●

If converting a recipe from Bake to True Aero, we recommend that you decrease the
bake time or decrease the temperature by approximately 70°F (20°C) .

●

For items with longer bake times (eg over an hour) it may be necessary to decrease
both time and temperature.

Ideal for multi-shelf cooking biscuits, cookies, scones, muffins and cupcakes.

20

OVEN FUNCTIONS

Aero Pastry

(some models only)

fan plus lower element

●

The fan circulates heat from the lower element throughout the oven.

●

Excellent for cooking pizza as it crisps the base beautifully without overcooking
thetopping.

Ideal for foods such as sweet and savoury pastry foods and delicate foods that require
some top browning eg frittata, quiche.

Roast

(some models only)

fan plus upper and lower elements

●

A two-step program. An initial 20 minute searing stage crisps and browns the roast
andcaramelises the outside of the meat, then the temperature drops to the level you
have preset for the remainder of the cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast
that is full of flavor.

●

Oven does not require preheating.

●

If desired, use the broil rack or grid, or place vegetables under the roast to allow the
juices to drain away from your meat. This will allow the hot air to circulate under the
meat as well.

Ideal for Roasting meat, chicken and vegetables.

21

OVEN FUNCTIONS

Classic Bake

(some models only)

lower element only

●

Heat comes from the lower element only, the fan is not used.

●

This is the traditional baking function, suitable for recipes that were developed in
olderovens.

●

Bake on only one shelf at a time.

Ideal for foods that require delicate baking and have a pastry base, like custard
tarts, pies, quiches and cheesecake or anything that does not require direct heat and
browningon the top.

22

Warm

(some models only)

Rapid

Proof

(some models only)

OVEN FUNCTIONS

this is not a cooking function

●

Provides a constant low heat of less than 195°F (90°C).

●

Use to keep cooked food hot, or to warm plates and serving
dishes. To reheat food from cold, use another oven function
to heat the food piping hot and only then change to Warm, as
this function alone will not bring cold food up to a high enough
temperature to kill any harmful bacteria.

this is not a cooking function

●

Gentle heat is generated from the upper and lower elements

●

Provides the optimum warm and draft-free environment for
proving yeast dough.

●

This method provides a faster proof time than at room temperature.

●

To prevent overproofing we recommend you check the dough
every 30mins.

Proving dough

1 Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap

and/or a clean damp cloth

2 Position the bowl in the center of the oven
3 Select Rapid Proof function

Self Clean

(some models only)

this is not a cooking function

●

The Self Clean cycle takes care of the mess and grime that is
traditionally associated with oven cleaning.

●

There are two Self-Clean cycles available:

- Self clean (which takes a minimum of 4 hours) for
normal cleaning and

- Light self-clean (which takes a minimum of 3 hours) for
lightly soiled ovens

●

Always clean the inner door glass pane first.

●

See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ for details.

23

COOKING CHARTS

●

Shelf positions are counted from the base up
(1 is the lowest, 6 (full size ovens) or 4 (compact ovens) is the highest).
Position shelves before you turn the oven on.

●

For best results preheat the oven to the required temperature.

●

The broil element may come on while the oven is heating up.

●

The halo on the temperature dial will change from red to white when the oven has
reached the selected temperature. The display will only show the set temperature once
the oven has finished preheating. The halo may change between white and red as the
oven maintains its set temperature.

●

Note: oven accessories may temporarily deform slightly when they become hot. This is
normal and does not affect their function.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

●

You can set the oven to automatically turn on later, cook for a preset time (cooking
time), then automatically turn off at a preset stop time. See the example and
instructions below (steps 1 to 7).

●

If you start cooking manually and only want the oven to turn off automatically after a
set cooking time: simply set the cooking time following steps 1 to 3 below and selecting
a function and temperature. The oven will automatically turn off when the cooking time
is over.

●

Alternatively you can simply set the time of day you wish to the oven to turn off.
Follow steps 4 and 5. The oven will automatically turn off when the stop time is reached.

●

You may have the timer on at the same time as automatic cooking.

●

Note: the broil element will come on while the oven is heating up. Uncovered foods may
be browned on top.

IMPORTANT!

Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and
after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may
cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.

Example: It is 11:05 a.m. You want your food to cook for 1 hour, and you would like it to
be ready by lunchtime (12:30 p.m.)

USING THE MEAT PROBE (SOME MODELS ONLY)

Using the meat probe

Use your meat probe to accurately judge when your meat is perfectly cooked.
You can use the probe with any function.

400

1 Select the oven function and temperature. Preheat the oven if appropriate.

Remember Roast and Aero Broil do not require preheating.

2 Insert the metal probe horizontally into the center of 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 these will heat up more
quickly than the lean meat.

3 Place the meat in the broil pan (or other suitable uncovered) dish.
4 When the oven has preheated (if required) to the set temperature, place the pan in

the oven and insert the plug end of the meat 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,
between shelf positions 4 and 5. Make sure the probe is pushed completely into the
socket, then close the oven door.

●

the display will alternate between
the set temperature and the
internal temperture of the meat.

Tips for using the meat probe

●

You can still use the timer when the meat probe is in use.

●

You cannot use the meat probe with Automatic cooking or rotisserie.

●

The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by a few degrees after
you have removed it from the oven, so allow for this in your calculations.
Cover with foil and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

●

If you wish to remove the meat from the oven (eg basting), unplug the meat probe
from the socket but do not remove it from the meat. The display will show -- .
When you are ready to resume cooking, re-insert the probe plug into the socket
and the display will will alternate between the preset and current internal temperature

of the meat.

8AWhen the preset temperature is reached:

●

a tone will sound every 15 seconds

●

the oven will turn off

●

the display will show the time of day.

8BPress any button to cancel the tone.

IMPORTANT!

●

Use only the meat probe supplied with your oven, purchased from your Fisher &
Paykel dealer or replaced under warranty by your nearest Fisher & Paykel trained and
supported service technician.

●

Hold the meat probe at the handle when inserting and removing it from food and the
meat probe socket.

●

Remember to remove the meat probe from the oven before you start a self-clean cycle.

●

Do not store the probe in the oven.

●

Only use the probe with fully defrosted food.

●

Wash the meat probe in mild soapy water but do not immerse. It is NOT dishwasher safe.

CARE AND CLEANING

Manual cleaning

ALWAYS NEVER

●

Before any manual cleaning or
maintenance, first wait for the oven to
cool down to a safe temperature to
touch, then turn its power supply off at
the wall.

●

Read these cleaning instructions and
the ‘Safety and warnings’ section
before you start cleaning your oven.

●

To prevent soiling from becoming
‘baked on’ and stubborn, we
recommend removing any easy-to­reach spills, food or grease stains from
the oven cavity enamel after each use.

●

Always clean the inner glass pane
before starting a Self Clean cycle
(where available). Failure to do this will
mean that residue will bake on and be
impossible to remove.

●

Always remove oven shelves before
starting a Self Clean cycle (where
available).

●

Never use a steam cleaner.

●

Never store flammable substances in
the oven.

●

Never use abrasive or harsh cleaners,
cloths, scouring pads or steel wool.
Some nylon scourers may also scratch.
Check the label first.

●

Never use oven cleaner on catalytic
panels or in a pyrolytic oven.

●

Never leave alkaline (salty spills) or
acidic substances (such as lemon juice
or vinegar) on the oven surfaces.

●

Never use cleaning products with a
chlorine or acidic base.

Drop down broil element

CARE AND CLEANING

Replacing the oven light bulbs

Note: Oven bulb replacement is not covered by your warranty.

Your oven uses G9 halogen bulbs with the specifications 120V, 50Hz and 25W.

Always hold the replacement bulb in a soft cloth. Touching the bulb will reduce
its life-span.
The two oven lights are located behind the opaque glass panels on each side wall of
your oven (one on each side).

Changing the bulb

1 Let the oven cavity and broil element cool down before changing the bulb. Before

switching off the oven, take note of which light(s) are not working.

IMPORTANT!

Turn the oven off at the wall before continuing.

2 Remove the oven shelves and side racks (see ‘Care and cleaning’).
3 Pull the glass cover off (if you find this difficult, you can gently prise the cover off

using the handle of a spoon or similar in the notches between the glass panel and oven
wall while holding the cover to ensure it does not fall).

4 Pull out the faulty bulb.
5 Holding the replacement bulb in a soft cloth or tissue (touching the bulb with your

fingers will reduce its life span) insert it into the socket.

6 Replace the glass cover pushing it firmly into place.

47

CARE AND CLEANING

Removing and refitting the oven door.

IMPORTANT!

Take care, the oven door is heavy.

To remove the door

1 Open the door fully.
Locate the two small

metal locking levers
on both door hinges
either side.

To refit the door

4 Holding the door on

both sides, line up
the holes in the base
of the door with the
hinges and slide the
door on.

2 Push each locking lever

down fully to release
the door from the hinge.

4 Once the door is fully

located on the hinges,
push each locking
lever up fully to lock
the door onto the
hinge.

3 Holding the door on

both sides, lift door
back up to 45o and
carefully pull the door
out and away from the
hinges.

IMPORTANT!

4

Ensure the levers
are both fully locked
before trying to shut
the door.

USING THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION (SOME MODELS ONLY)

●

During the pyrolytic Self Clean cycle the extremely high temperature burns off and
breaks down grime and grease deposits. All that is left is a small amount of grey ash
that you can easily remove.

●

There is a choice of two Self Clean cycles:

- Self Clean (minimum 4 hours) (for normal soiling).

- Light Self Clean (minimum 3 hours) (suitable for a light or localised soiling).

IMPORTANT!

●

You must clean the inside glass door panel BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle.
Failure to do this may result in permanent staining or marking of the door glass.
See ‘Care and cleaning’ for our recommendations on how to do this.

●

Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.

●

Remove all oven shelves, trays, bakeware and utensils from the oven before starting
a self clean cycle (except side racks). If left in the oven they will be permanently
damaged; items made from combustible material (eg wood, fabric, plastic) may even
catch fire.

●

Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.

●

Make sure the room is well ventilated.

●

Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another,
closed and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during a Self Clean cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the oven
during such a cycle.

●

During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for
cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children
should be kept away.

●

The oven door will be locked during the Self Clean cycle.

●

If there are cracks or flaws on any of the oven door glass panes, if the oven seal
is damaged or worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a Self
Clean cycle. Call a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or
CustomerCare.

To start a Self Clean

1 Remove all oven shelves, accessories, bakeware, and utensils.

Note: you do not need to remove the side racks.

2 Wipe up any spills, and along the inner edge of the oven surface around the seal. Failure

to do so may discolor the oven surface.

IMPORTANT!

Avoid cleaning the seal itself as this may cause damage.

3 Check the inner glass pane of the oven
door. If it has soiling on it (eg stains from greasy splatter), you will need to clean it

manually before starting a Self Clean
cycle. For instructions, see ‘Care

and cleaning’.

IMPORTANT!

●

If soiling is left on the glass, it will become burnt on during the Self Clean cycle,
making it very difficult to remove.

4 Close the oven door firmly.

To cancel a Self Clean cycle

IMPORTANT!

●

A Self Clean cycle can be cancelled at any time by touching the cancel control.

●

The door will not unlock until the oven has cooled to a safe temperature.
Do NOT turn off the mains power supply to the oven (wall switch). Turning off the
power while the oven is too hot may damage the oven and its surrounding cabinetry.
