Safety and warnings

Operation

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

WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard Turn the oven off at the wall before replacing fuses or the oven lamp. Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.

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 and window.

Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds.

Safety and warnings

Important safety precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven,

follow the important safety precautions 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 grounded 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.

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

a fire could start. 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 or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a

responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can use

the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings. 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. 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 its

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

system. Do not place aluminum foil, dishes, trays, water or ice on the oven floor during cooking, as this

will irreversibly damage the porcelain enamel.

US CA

Safety and warnings

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

the oven is cool (before preheating). If a rack (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 door seal or cavity seals (gaskets) or use any oven-cleaning products on them.

They are essential for a good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should

be taken not to rub, damage or move them. 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. Before starting a self-clean cycle, remove oven shelves/racks, side racks/shelf supports, broiler

pan and all other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits. 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. 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’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.

Oven Functions

BAKING

TRUE AERO: fan plus fan element

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 ensures baking is well risen and evenly colored. Cookies 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. TRUE AERO is the function to choose for multi-shelf cooking and complete oven meals. TRUE AERO is excellent for baking angel food cake.

AERO BAKE: fan plus upper and lower elements

The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower concealed elements and distributes it around the oven cavity. Food cooked using the AERO BAKE function tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the traditional BAKE function. Use AERO BAKE at a low temperature –125 °F (50°C)– for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.

BAKE: upper and lower elements

Heat comes from the top outer and lower concealed elements. BAKE is the traditional baking function, ideal for cakes. If baking on two shelves, arrange dishes so no item is directly over another. BAKE is ideal for foods that require baking for a long time or at low temperatures, like meringues and rich fruitcakes.

AERO PASTRY: fan plus lower element

The fan circulates heat from the lower concealed element throughout the oven. 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 baking function, suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens. For best results, bake on only one shelf at a time. It is perfect 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.

ROASTING

ROAST

This is a two-step program. The oven does not require preheating. An initial 20minute searing stage crisps and browns the roast and caramelizes the juices on 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. This function is also great for cooking vegetables. Little browning takes place after the initial searing.

Using your oven - before you start

BROILING

BROIL: upper inner element

BROIL delivers intense heat from the inner region of the top element. Great when you need to quickly broil one to two portions of your usual favorites, like crispy chicken breasts or a steak.

MAXI BROIL: upper inner and outer elements

MAXI BROIL delivers intense heat from the entire top element. It is the most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top of potato gratin and frittata. Use MAXI BROIL to toast bread or to broil your favorite chicken, fish and steak.

AERO BROIL: fan plus upper inner and outer elements

AERO BROIL 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 function for whole chicken or tenderloin of beef.

WARM WARM is a constant low heat of 165°F (75°C). Use it to keep cooked food hot, or to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold, use TRUE AERO and change to WARM only when the food is piping hot, as this function will not bring cold food up to a temperature high enough to kill any harmful bacteria.

US CA

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-cleaning, the oven reaches very high temperatures. This burns off and breaks down soil and grease deposits. A smoke eliminator and active venting system eradicates odor. For instructions on how to use SELF CLEAN, see the ‘Care and cleaning’ section.

Cooling fan

A cooling fan will come on automatically and blow air out below the oven door during the use of most oven functions. It may continue to run after the oven is turned off to keep the door and control panel cool.

US CA

Using your oven

Positioning the shelves

Placing the telescopic sliding shelves on the side racks provides eight cooking positions to choose from. See the ‘Cooking guidelines’ for suggested shelf positions.

To position the shelves

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Always position oven shelves BEFORE heating the oven. To remove a sliding shelf, grip it by its two front corners (making sure you are gripping the

wire shelf and the sliding frame together), tilt upwards and pull it out of the oven.

To place a sliding shelf in the oven correctly, position it so that the front bar is toward you, as

shown. Check that the sliding frame is not extended. Check the guard rail (as shown) to make sure the shelf is the right way up. Position the shelf so that it is level and the rear shelf tags on both sides of the sliding frame

rest on the side racks (as shown). Then push the sliding shelf all the way to the back of the oven, until the front shelf tags drop

into place. Note: generally, the shelf positions in the top of the oven are suitable for broiling. Those in the

middle or lower region of the oven are suitable for baking, roasting and casseroles. For your safety, the wire shelves and telescopic sliding frames are built together as one unit

and are not separable. This means that when placed properly on the side racks, the slides will

prevent the wire shelves from tilting when pulled towards you. To prevent the tags from lifting off the side racks, take care to slide the shelves forward

horizontally.

Choosing the right bakeware

The size, shape and material of the bakeware will affect the

baking time.

The three-piece broil/roast system provided with your

oven (consisting of the pan, grid and rack) has been

designed to reduce splatter and smoke, and is therefore

ideal for broiling and roasting. We suggest you place meat

on the broil/roast rack (on top of the pan and grid) to

allow hot air to circulate around it. This gives more even

browning and a result similar to a rotisserie. On occasions, you may want to use only two pieces of the

system. For example, when roasting a large turkey, use

only the pan and grid for greater stability. Metal bakeware results in the fastest baking time. Dark baking pans or those with a dull finish

absorb heat or brown food, especially on the base, faster than shiny pans. A shiny finish may work best for some cakes and cookies, as it reflects some heat and gives a less

intensive baking surface. If using dark baking pans, it may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (10°C). It

may also be necessary to extend the baking time by a couple of minutes. Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans may increase the length of baking time. Use glass or ceramic bakeware for foods that do not require a dark brown crust (eg soufflé or

lasagna).

Selecting function and temperature

To select a function, turn the function knob. To select a temperature, turn the temperature knob

clockwise.

For double ovens, knobs on the left are for the upper

oven and knobs on the right are for the lower oven.

See the ‘Cooking guidelines’ section for suggested

functions and temperatures.

Preheating your oven

Preheat your oven when using the following functions for baking: TRUE AERO, AERO BAKE, BAKE,

AERO PASTRY and PASTRY BAKE. These functions are equipped with a fast preheat: the oven will

heat to 350°F (175°C) in approximately 10 minutes and to 425°F (225°C) in approximately 15

minutes. When your oven is preheating, the selected temperature is displayed alternately with the actual

oven temperature. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, a beep will sound and the

illuminated ring around the temperature knob will change from red to white. If you want to increase the oven temperature during cooking, follow these steps to reactivate the

fast preheat:

Turn the function and temperature knobs to OFF.

Wait for the display lights to go out.

Then select the new settings.

Using the oven functions

Using your oven

US CA

Baking

For best results when baking, always preheat the oven to the temperature recommended in the

recipe. Make sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven by staggering them across

shelves. If using the BAKE function and baking on more than one shelf (eg layer cakes), stagger the cake

pans so one is not directly above another. TRUE AERO is good for multi-shelf baking as the temperature inside the cavity is even. Do not open the oven door until at least ¾ through the suggested baking time. When baking double the recipe, especially cookies, it may be necessary to increase the baking

time by a couple of minutes. The circulating air of convection (AERO) functions heats and browns foods more quickly than

using non-convection functions. When converting recipes from BAKE to AERO BAKE, the oven temperature can normally be

lowered by 25°F (10°C); the baking time will remain the same. For some recipes, it may work

better to reduce the baking time by several minutes and leave the oven temperature unchanged.

For recipes with longer baketimes (ie over an hour), best results may be achieved by reducing

both slightly. Food flavors and smells will not transfer between different foods cooked using convection

functions. As a general rule, TRUE AERO is excellent for turkeys and baking foods on multiple

shelves; AERO BAKE browns dishes well and is ideal for dishes cooked in under an hour; BAKE

is generally the function to choose for delicate foods and those in the oven for longer than an

hour.

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 irreversibly damage the porcelain enamel.

US CA

Using your oven

Roasting

Using the ROAST function will give you a tender and juicy roast that is full of flavor.

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

of the oven or lower. Tender cuts should be cooked at a high temperature quickly, while tougher cuts require a

lower temperature for a longer time. Use the meat probe for perfect results – it takes the guesswork out of telling when your roast

is done. See the instructions on ‘Using the meat probe’. Thick pieces of meat take longer to cook than thin pieces of the same weight. Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer to cook than roasts containing bones. Poultry should always be well cooked with the juices running clear at an internal temperature

of 170°F (75°C). Roasting uses dry heat. Don’t add water to your roast as this has a steaming effect. Vegetables are excellent cooked on ROAST. You can also place them around meat on the broil/

roast system. Do this partway through cooking a large piece of meat which takes longer than

two hours to cook, so that you do not overcook the vegetables. Note that the vegetables will

brown and cook more slowly if they have missed the initial searing stage. In ROAST function, the initial searing is too hot for roasting bags. Use TRUE AERO, AERO BAKE

or BAKE if you are using roasting or oven bags and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Broiling

Using the BROIL, MAXI BROIL and AERO BROIL functions gives you a healthier alternative to

frying. It is also a great way to cook vegetables. AERO BROIL is especially suitable for foods

that you might normally pan-fry, barbecue or rotisserie. Always broil with the oven door

completely closed. Note that power levels are expressed as a percentage from LO (50% power)

to HI (100% power) in BROIL and MAXI BROIL functions. Most broiling is carried out on HI, but

you may want to reduce the heat to suit your needs. We recommend that you place food on

the three-piece broil/roast system. In BROIL and MAXI BROIL, best results may be achieved by

preheating the broiler for about five minutes before you begin cooking.

If you use glass or ceramic dishes and pans, be sure that they can withstand the high

temperature of the broiler. To prevent food sticking, spray the grid with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray. To avoid piercing the meat and letting juices escape, use tongs or a spatula when you turn the

meat halfway through the cooking time.

Using your oven

Tips for dehydrating fruit

To obtain high quality dried fruit, select only unblemished, ripe fruit. Wash fruit thoroughly and pat dry. Peel if desired. Fruit that is not peeled will take longer to dry.

Remove pits, stems or seeds if necessary. Place fruit on a baking tray on a shelf in the oven. We recommend using TRUE AERO or AERO BAKE at 125°F (50°C).

Tips for proofing bread

Your oven provides an ideal sealed environment for proofing bread. Preheat the oven on BAKE at 100°F (30°C). When you are ready to proof the dough, turn the

temperature OFF, leaving the function knob at BAKE, and place the dough in a covered bowl on

a shelf in the warm oven. It will be the perfect temperature to proof dough. The 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

heat resistant dish and on an oven shelf in positions 1 or 2. Do not put it directly onto the oven

floor. Placing water, ice or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor will irreversibly damage the

porcelain enamel.

US CA

Using your oven

Using the meat probe

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

probe on TRUE AERO, AERO BAKE, ROAST, AERO BROIL and BAKE functions.

Select the oven function and temperature. Preheat the oven if

appropriate. Remember ROAST and AERO BROIL do not require

preheating.

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 (pull

probe away from bone ½ ”(1.5 cm)), fat or gristle, as these will

heat up more quickly than the lean meat.

Place the meat on the broil/roast system.

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 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, just under shelf position 7.

Make sure the probe is pushed completely into the socket,

then close the oven door.

Select the upper or lower oven for double models using the

cavity selector button.

Tips for using the meat probe

You can use the meat probe with automatic cooking functions. If the meat 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. Cover with foil and let it rest for

15 to 20 minutes.

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 Authorized Service Center. 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. It is NOT dishwasher safe.

Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the cooking cycle to begin. Typical foods 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 cooking finished. Automatic cooking is not suitable for food needing to be cooked in a preheated oven, eg delicate

baked goods.

Roasting meat

We recommend you use the meat probe to accurately judge when meat is cooked to your preference. ’Time per lb/450g’ is a

rough guide and should only be used to estimate when the meat will be ready. Cooking with ROAST, TRUE AERO, AERO BAKE,

and AERO BROIL will take less time than with BAKE.
