Safety and warnings

Operation

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 death or electrical shock.

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!

3

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 colour. 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.

WARNING!

Cut Hazard

Take care - some edges are sharp.

Failure to use caution could result in injury or cuts.

Safety and warnings

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.
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.

Safety and warnings

Important safety instructions

Caution. Hot air can blow from the vent at the top of the oven as part of the oven’s 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.
Before starting a Self Clean cycle, remove oven shelves, side racks, and all other cookware/
utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
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.
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.

Oven functions

Off

Selecting this will turn the oven off.

Bake

This is the traditional method of baking. It is best to bake on only one shelf at a time in this
function. Ideal for large cakes and dishes that bake for several hours.

Fan Bake

Ideal for dishes like lasagne that need to brown on top and also single trays of small cakes or
biscuits that bake in less than an hour.

Grill

Grill is the most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top
of potato gratin and frittata. Use Grill to toast bread or to grill your favourite chicken, fish and
steak. Note: heat levels are from LO (50% power) to HI (100% power), with settings from 1 to 9 in
between. Grill provides instant radiant heat, so the temperature dial halo will stay red.

Fan Grill

Ideal for roasting tender cuts of meat and poultry. Use the lower shelf positions for larger items
eg a whole chicken.

9

Fan Forced

Great for multi-shelf cooking. The consistent temperature ensures baking is well risen. Cookies
baked on Fan Forced are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle.

Pastry Bake

Excellent for sweet and savoury pastry foods, for moist breads and brownies and cookies that
you want extra chewy.

Wa rm

Use this function to keep cooked food hot and to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food
from cold, use a cooking function at 150°C, then switch to Warm set between 70-90°C only when
the food is piping hot. Note: this function is not for cooking food and the temperature cannot be
set higher than 90°C.

Rotisserie

Rotisserie is a delicious way to cook meat and poultry. The slowly rotating food is basted
continuously in its own juices, making it tender on the inside and well browned and full of
flavour on the outside. See ‘Using the rotisserie’.

Self Clean

The Self Clean cycle takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven
cleaning. See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ for details. Note: this is NOT a cooking function.

10

Using the rotisserie

Slide out the grill tray and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

4

Twist the handle onto the left end of the skewer.

5

Lift the skewer off the supports by the handle.

6

Loosen the fork screws and slide the meat off the skewer.

Tips for using the rotisserie

For food safety reasons, we do not recommend using the rotisserie with stuffed meat.
If your meat is too big or heavy (over 6 kg) for the skewer, place it on top of the grill rack in the
grill tray, and use Fan Forced
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that meat is cooked through to a safe temperature.
See ‘Care and cleaning’ for advice on cleaning the rotisserie parts.

. This function will give a result similar to a rotisserie.

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. The oven will
automatically turn off when the cooking time is over.

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.)

Baking chart

Please note:
The settings in the following chart are guidelines only. Follow the instructions in your recipe or
on food packaging and be prepared to adjust the oven settings and baking times to achieve the
best possible results for you.
Shelf positions are counted from the base up (1 is the lowest, 4 the highest).
Arrange oven shelves before you turn the oven on, then preheat the oven to the required
temperature. Place items in the oven only when the long tone has sounded and the temperature
dial halo has turned from red to white.*
Single shelf positions below use the flat oven shelf; where a multi shelf arrangement is
recommended, the higher position uses the step-down shelf.
Due to the width of the oven, a single shelf can usually accommodate double the standard
recipe.

Care and cleaning

Manual cleaning

DOs DON’Ts

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. Doing so will reduce the need for
using the Self Clean function frequently.

Don’t use oven cleaners or any abrasive

or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or
steel wool.

Don’t leave alkaline (salty spills) or acidic
substances (such as lemon juice or vinegar)
on the oven surfaces.

Don’t use cleaning products with a chlorine
or acidic base.

Don’t clean the oven seal (see ‘Introduction’)
or use any oven cleaning products on it.

Don’t use oven cleaners or any

other harsh/abrasive cleaners,
cloths, scouring pads, steel
wool or sharp metal scrapers
to clean the glass surfaces.
These scratch the glass and
may damage its special
coating, which in turn could
result in the glass cracking or
shattering.

Even if you only clean the inner

pane (D), remove the door
and the pane first. Cleaning
the glass with the pane in the
door may result in cleaning
liquid running down the gaps
and drying onto internal
components.

Take particular care when

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.

You don’t need to remove the

Care and cleaning

Removing and replacing the door glass panes for cleaning

Make sure you follow the precautions and instructions below very carefully. Replacing the glass

panes and the door incorrectly may result in damage to the oven and may void your warranty.

Important!

Take care, the oven door is heavy (14 kg). If you
have any doubts, do not attempt to remove the
door.

panes. Avoid the edges of the glass bumping
against any surface. This may result in the glass shattering.
Don’t use oven cleaners or any other harsh/abrasive cleaners, cloths, scouring pads, steel wool
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass surfaces. These scratch the glass and may damage its
special coating, which in turn could result in the glass cracking or shattering.
If you notice any sign of damage on any of the glass panes (such as chipping or cracks), do not
use the oven. Call your Authorised Repairer or Customer Care.
Make sure you replace all the glass panes correctly. Do not use the oven without all glass panes
correctly in place.
If the glass panes feel difficult to remove or replace, do not force them. Call your Authorised
Repairer or Customer Care for help. Note: service visits providing assistance with using or
maintaining the oven are not covered by your warranty.

Care and cleaning

Replacing the oven light bulbs

The oven light bulbs (12V/20 W halogen) 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. Note: oven bulb replacement is not covered by your warranty.

OFF

1

Allow the oven to cool down, then turn
it off at the mains power supply (wall
switch).

2

Remove any oven shelves that may get in
the way.

29

3

Using a flat-head screwdriver, twist and
lift the retainer clip upwards to release the
glass cover. Hold the glass cover to prevent
it falling.

5

Hold the replacement bulb in a soft cloth
or tissue (touching the bulb will reduce its
life span) and insert it into the socket.

4

Carefully lift the glass cover out of the
retaining bracket in the back and pull out
the faulty bulb.

6a

Reposition the glass cover and twist the
retainer clip back in place.

6b

Turn the oven back on at the mains power
supply (wall switch).

Using the Self Clean function

This convenient pyrolytic Self Clean function takes care of the mess and grime that is
traditionally associated with oven cleaning. The extremely high temperature during a Self Clean
cycle burns off and breaks down stubborn soil and grease deposits. All that remains is a clean
oven cavity with a little grey ash which you can easily remove. Note: the inner glass pane (D) of
the door may need to be cleaned manually. See ‘Care and cleaning’.
A Self Clean cycle lasts about 3 hours.

Important!

Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.
Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves and trays, rotisserie 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 3 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.

To start a Self Clean cycle

1a

Remove oven shelves, side racks and all
other accessories, bakeware, and utensils.

1b

Wipe up any spills. Failure to do so may
discolour the oven surfaces.

1c

Check the inner glass pane of the oven

door (D). 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.

Close the oven door firmly.

To cancel a Self Clean cycle

Important!

A Self Clean cycle can only be cancelled while the function dial halo is lit.
If the function dial halo is unlit, the Self Clean cycle is in its cool-down phase and cannot be
