Cooking guide

BAKING

For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven. The halo will turn from red to white
when the preset temperature is reached.
Do not open the door until at least ¾ 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) you may need to increase the time.
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.
Always leave a space between shelves when multi-shelf cooking to allow the air to circulate.

Shelf Position Guide

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

ROASTING

Your oven has a dedicated Roast function. This is designed to brown the outside of the meat but
still keep the inside moist and juicy.
Use the meat probe for perfect results. See ‘Using the Meat Probe’.
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 75°C.
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 20°C.
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.

15

Shelf Position Guide

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

16

Cooking guide

GRILLING

This is a healthier alternative to frying.
Always grill with the oven door completely shut.
If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high temperatures of the grill.
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 marinate
the meat before grilling (but be aware that some marinades may burn easily).
Where possible grill 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 grilling to avoid charring or burning.
The three-piece grill/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 grilling and roasting.
We suggest you place meat on the grill/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.

Shelf Position Guide

For thinner cuts of meat, toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.
Thicker cuts of meats should be grilled on lower shelves or at a lower grill setting to ensure even
cooking.

REHEATING
Use Bake or Fan Bake to reheat food.

Bake function is 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.

Oven functions

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.

17

Fan 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.
Use Fan Bake at a low temperature: 50°C for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.

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

18

Oven functions

Fan Forced

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 Fan Forced, we recommend that you decrease the bake time
or decrease the temperature by approximately 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.

Grill

upper inner element

Intense radiant heat is delivered from the inner top element. 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 grill.
The temperature halo will remain red while using the grill 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’.

Oven functions

Maxi Grill

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 grill.
The temperature halo will remain red while using the grill 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

Fan Grill

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 grilling your favourite chicken, fish or steak.

20

Oven functions

Pastry Bake

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

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 flavour.
Oven does not require preheating.
If desired, use the grill rack, 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.

Classic Bake

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.
The oven will be hotter at the top.

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.

this is not a cooking function

Provides a constant low heat of less than 90°C.

Warm

Self Clean

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.

Use the Warm function to prove bread. See ‘Tips for proving bread’.

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 5 hours) for normal cleaning and

- Light self-clean (which takes 4 hours) for lightly soiled ovens.

See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ in the User guide for details.

Tips for dehydrating fruit

Oven functions

21

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 Fan Forced or Fan Bake at 50°C.

Tips for proofing bread

Your oven provides an ideal sealed environment for proofing bread.

1

Select the Warm function.

2

Adjust the temperature down until the display shows `Lo’ .

3

Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap and/or a clean damp cloth.

4

Place the bowl into the warmed oven on shelf position 1.

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
enamel.

22

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, Fan Bake, and Fan Grill will take less time than with

Bake.

Automatic cooking

You can set the oven(s) 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.
You cannot use a meat probe when using automatic cooking.

Double oven models only: you may set one or both ovens to cook automatically. If one oven is
set for automatic cooking you may still use the other normally.

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).

Insert the metal probe horizontally into the centre 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 roasting (or other suitable uncovered) dish.

When the oven has preheated (if required) to the set temperature, place the dish 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

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.
The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by 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.
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.

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 Authorised Repairer.
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

Removing and replacing the sliding shelves and side racks

To remove a sliding shelf, grip it by its two front corners (making sure you are gripping the wire

1

shelf and the sliding frame together), tilt upwards and pull it out of the oven.
To remove the side racks, gently push the retaining wire from underneath the lock stud, then

2

swing the lowest edge of the side rack up and out towards the centre of the oven until the rack
is almost horizontal. The prongs at the top will slide out of the mounting slots.
To replace the side racks, hold them almost horizontally and locate the prongs into the small

3

mounting slots at the top of the oven cavity. While you are doing this, support the rack with your
hand from underneath, to ensure that both prongs perfectly locate into the mounting slots.
Lower the side racks carefully and gently place the retaining wire underneath the lock stud.

4

Important!

Do not lower the side racks until the prongs are fully inserted into the slots so that you do not chip the
enamel.

Care and cleaning

Changing 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, use only a replacement bulb purchased from your nearest Fisher
& Paykel dealer and follow these steps:
Allow the oven to cool and then turn it off at the wall.

1

Take out the shelves and side racks (see ‘Removing and replacing the sliding shelves and side

2

racks’) 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 anti-clockwise (see
the diagram).
Carefully lift the glass cover out of the lower support and pull out the faulty bulb.

3

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

4

span), insert the new bulb.
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.

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

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-to-reach 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.
Always remove oven shelves and side racks
before starting a Self Clean cycle.

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 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.
Never spray detergent or liquid onto the
buttons on the control panel. Liquid may
seep behind the button and damage the
electronics.

To clean light soiling off the
enamelled surfaces:

1 Wipe with a damp cloth and a

solution of hot water and mild
detergent.

2 Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

To clean stubborn, ‘baked on’ soiling
or the whole oven cavity: use the Self
Clean function. See ‘Using the Self
Clean function’ for instructions.

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not wipe off or wash
away the white lubricating grease
(visible when the slides are
extended).

Always read the label to make

sure that your stainless steel
cleaner does not contain
chlorine compounds as these
are corrosive and may damage
the appearance of your oven.

Always rub the stainless steel

in the direction of the grain.

To prevent soiling from

becoming ‘baked on’ and
stubborn, we recommend
removing any easy -to-reach
spills, food or grease stains
from the enamelled surfaces
after each use. Doing so will
reduce the need for using the
Self Clean function frequently.

Always remove the side racks

before a Self Clean cycle.

Do not wash these in the
dishwasher, immerse in soapy
water, use oven cleaner on them
or leave in the oven during a Self
Clean cycle as doing so will remove
the white lubricating grease and
prevent the slides from running
smoothly.

Using the Self Clean function

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 Self Clean cycles:

Self Clean (5 hours) (for normal soiling).

-

Light Self Clean (4 hours) (suitable for a light or localised soiling).

-

Double oven models only:

Only one oven can be self-cleaned at a time.
During the Self clean cycle you cannot use the other oven or set Automatic cooking.

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.

Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.
Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves and trays and all other bakeware and utensils
from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle. If left in the oven, they will become permanently
discoloured or damaged; items made from combustible materials (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 well­ventilated 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 (approximately 5 hours).
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 your Authorised
Repairer or Customer Care.
