SAFETY AND WARNINGS
!
WARNING!
Explosion Hazard
If you smell gas, do not use the appliance. Open a window or door to let
the gas escape, then follow the instructions on the inside front cover of
this manual.
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.
Turn all burners off, then smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Do not heat unopened food containters such as cans – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death.
!
WARNING!
Poisoning Hazard
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover
an entire rack or the oven floor with materials such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Clean the appliance with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Follow the directions of the cleaner manufacturer.

Failure to follow this advice may result in poisoning or death.
!
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot during use.
Do not touch burners, areas near burners, the grill, griddle, grease drippans, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven – These may be hot
enough to cause burns even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact these parts and surfaces until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other parts and surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough
to cause burns – among these areas are the grates, back trim and oven
vents at the back of the cooktop, front edge, surfaces adjacent to the
cooktop, and the oven door.
Use only dry potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Ovens with a CLEAN cycle: During self-cleaning, the oven reaches higher
temperatures than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces
may get hotter than usual. Children should be kept away.
Failure to follow this advice may result in serious injury.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
●
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 warmer weather.
●
Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
●
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the appliance.
●
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the appliance.
●
Before self-cleaning the oven – Remove oven shelves, side racks, broiler pan and
all other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
●
Before self-cleaning the oven –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-cleaning cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the range
during such a cycle.
●
Do not use any cookware on the grill or griddle.
●
Top cover (lid) must be removed when the grill or griddle is in operation.
●
When using the grill or griddle, make sure the grease drip-pan is in place – absence
of this during use may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
●
The oven(s), grill, and griddle of your range cannot be used in the event of a power
failure. Do not attempt to operate these during power failure.
●
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause heat
to be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance
and damage the finish of the oven or cooktop parts.
●
Do not place any dishes, trays, water or ice directly on the oven floor during cooking,
as doing so will irreversibly damage the porcelain enamel finish.
●
For safety reasons, the cooktop burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
●
Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking.
This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes. Cookware must be matched
to the size of the burner. Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover
the burner flames. The use of undersize utensils will expose a portion of the burner
flames to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationships
of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
●
Protective liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line grease drip-pans or oven bottoms.
●
Glazed cooking utensils – only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
●
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent cooktop burners
– To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent cooktop burners.
●
The Governor of California is required to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
●
WARNING!: This product emits exhaust that contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. To reduce
the risk from such chemicals, make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and
maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

COOKING GUIDE
Oven cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
●
Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
●
Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven.
The trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause fire.
●
Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as this will
irreversibly damage the enamel.
●
Do not cover the broil pan with aluminum foil. This will catch the grease and could
cause fire.
●
Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
●
For food safety reasons, do not leave food in the oven for longer than two hours
before and after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms
which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.
BAKING
●
For best results when baking, always preheat your oven. The broil element may
turn on for a short time while the oven is heating up. Depending on the temperature
and the size of the oven, preheating will take around 10-20 minutes. The temperature
dial will turn from white to orange when the preset temperature is reached.
●
Your cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly
than reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature.
●
Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking. Do not open the oven door
until at least ¾ through the suggested baking time.
Shelf Position Guide
Place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the center of the
oven cavity.
●
If you have a 48” range, the main oven is ideal for multi-shelf baking or baking larger
quantites. For smaller quantities baked on a single shelf, use the secondary oven.
●
Arrange pans and food items evenly on the shelves. Make sure pans do not touch
each other or the sides of the oven. When baking a single item, always center the
item on the oven shelf. If baking on multiple shelves, make sure you stagger items
on the shelves so that one is never directly above another.
●
When baking a single item, shelf position 2 is the most frequently used.
See ‘Cooking Charts’ for more shelf position suggestions.
18
COOKING GUIDE
Oven cooking guidelines
ROASTING
●
The broil rack and broil pan are ideal for broiling and roasting. Place meat on
the broil rack (on top of the broil pan) to allow hot air to circulate around it.
This gives more even browning and a result similar to a rotisserie.
●
Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones.
●
Use a meat thermometer to determine when meat is cooked.
●
Poultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal
temperature of 165°F / 74°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.
Shelf Position Guide
Place the meat on a shelf so that is 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 open the oven door
to check food, have it open for as short a time as possible to prevent the control
panel overheating.
●
If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high temperatures
of broiling.
●
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 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.
●
Use the grill rack and roast dish for perfect results.
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.
19
COOKING GUIDE
Oven cooking guidelines
REHEATING
●
Use BAKE or BAKE CONVECTION to reheat food.
●
BAKE mode 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, reduce the temperature to WARM to keep the food warm.
●
Never reheat food more than once.
If you wish to finish cooking using the residual heat in the oven
Leave the oven on and reduce the heat to the lowest temperature. Leaving the oven on
will decrease the risk of condensation forming (condensation may cause damage to the
oven cavity and surrounding cabinetry).
DEFROSTING
●
To thaw uncooked frozen food, set the oven mode to BAKE or BAKE CONVECTION
and set the temperature to WARM. Once thawed, cook the food immediately and
do not refreeze.
●
To prevent liquid from thawing food dripping on the oven floor, be sure any uncooked
food is tightly wrapped in foil and/or placed in a container.
PROOFING DOUGH
●
Use a lightly-oiled heatproof glass bowl to proof your dough. This allows you to check
how much it has risen without opening the oven or removing the cover over the bowl.
●
To lock in or increase moisture during proofing, cover the bowl with a damp dish towel
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 CONVECTION or BAKE CONVECTION set at a temperature
between WARM and 200°F.
For more oven cooking tips, visit our website, www.fisherpaykel.com.
20
OVEN MODES
IMPORTANT!
●
Use all the modes with the oven door closed.
Dual fuel
models only
BAKE
●
Heat may come from either the upper and lower areas of the cavity.
The fan is not used in this mode.
●
Ideal for cakes and foods that require baking for a long time or at low temperatures.
●
This mode is not suitable for multi-shelf cooking.
Ideal for moist foods that take a longer time to cook, such as rich fruit cake.
Dual fuel
models only
BAKE CONVECTION
●
The oven fan circulates hot air from either the upper and lower areas of the cavity
and distributes it around the oven cavity.
●
Food cooked on BAKE CONVECTION tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked
on BAKE.
●
You may need to decrease the time from that recommended in traditional recipes or
reduce the baking time. For foods with a baking time of over an hour, reducing both
the temperature and time slightly may give the best results.
●
Use BAKE CONVECTION at a low temperature: between WARM and 200°F – for drying
fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Ideal for single shelf baking that takes less than an hour to cook – foods such as muffins,
English scones, cupcakes and enchiladas.
21
OVEN MODES
TRUE CONVECTION
(some models only)
●
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 2 & 4) 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 CONVECTION, 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 of foods such as meat, casseroles, cookies, English scones,
muffins and cupcakes.
BROIL
●
Intense radiant heat is delivered from the top cavity area.
●
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 element.
●
The most suitable mode 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’.
22
OVEN MODES
BROIL CONVECTION
(some models only)
●
This mode uses the intense heat from the upper cavity area 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 favorite chicken, fish or steak.
CLEAN
this is not a cooking mode
●
The self-cleaning cycle takes care of the mess and grime that is
traditionally associated with oven cleaning.
●
During self-cleaning the oven reaches very high temperatures, burning
off and breaking down food soils and grease deposits.
●
A self-cleaning cycle lasts about 5 hours, with an additional cool-down
time of up to 30 minutes.
●
See ‘Using the CLEAN cycle’ in the User guide for details.
23
COOKING CHARTS
●
Shelf positions are counted from the base up
(1 is the lowest, 5 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 white to orange when the oven has
reached the selected temperature. The halo may change between white and orange as
the oven maintains its set temperature.

COOKTOP USE
Guidelines for using the cooktop burners
●
All burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering (1,300 BTU/hr).
Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces,
simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
●
For cooking that requires especially intense heat (eg searing meat, wok-cooking,
stir-frying), use the burners listed below, as these have a higher maximum output
(23,500 BTU/hr for Natural gas) than the other burners (18,500 BTU/hr for Natural gas).
●
RGV2-305 / RDV2-305 and RGV2-485GD / RDV2-485GD models: Center burner
●
RGV2-488/RDV2-488 and RGV2-366/RDV2-366 MODELS: Front left burner or front
right burner
●
All other models: Front left burner
●
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite.
●
Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could discolor
and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
●
Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge
of the cooktop or another burner that is on.
●
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
setting.
●
Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or incompletely
assembled burners may produce dangerous flames. See ‘Replacing the burner parts’
in ‘Care and cleaning’.
●
Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boilover, make sure you clean the
affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the ignitor and
the notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly.
See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
●
Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping,
and burn without fluttering all around the burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’ for
advice.
●
Use woks only with a wok ring. Wok rings can be purchased separately through your
Fisher & Paykel dealer or Customer Care. To use, place the wok ring over the grates,
making sure the small protrusions on its bottom straddle the grate fingers. The wok ring
should be stable and unable to rotate.

COOKTOP USE
Using the grill
The grill has a reversible grate. It will change color with use as oils cook onto the
surface. This is normal and doesn’t affect grilling performance.
For foods where
you want the fat
to run down,
such as:
●
Hamburger
patties
●
Steak
●
Sausages.
Ridged side
Flat side
For foods that
need more
support and don’t
contain a lot of
fat, such as:
●
Fish
●
Vegetables
●
Lean chicken
pieces.
To use the grill
1 Remove the cover and check that the grease drip-pan and the grill grate are properly
in place and you have the best side for your food. The grate should always be sloping
towards the grease drip-pan, with its support bar firmly resting in the groove of the rear
ledge, as shown.
IMPORTANT!
Never turn on or use the grill with the grill cover in place.

2 Turn the grill knob counterclockwise to the LITE/HI setting.
●
The halo around the knob will glow orange.
●
There may be a delay of a minute or so before the grill burner lights. This is normal.
3 Allow the empty grill to heat up for about 15 minutes.
4 Adjust the heat anywhere between HI (high) and LO (low) during grilling.
5 When you have finished using the grill, turn the grill knob clockwise back to OFF.
6 Clean the grill grate immediately after use. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
7 When the grill has cooled down, clean the grease drip-pan. See ‘Care and cleaning’
for instructions.

COOKTOP USE
Grill cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
●
Never leave the grill unattended during use. Grease drippings may cause short
flare-ups or even sustained flaming. If left unattended, these may cause fire.
●
Make sure you have your ventilation hood set on maximum during grilling.
●
Clean the grease drip-pan after every use. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard.
●
The longer you preheat the grill, the darker the grill marks will appear on food.
●
Trim excess fat off meat to minimize flare-ups.
●
Generally, start out on a high setting to sear or brown meat, then lower the setting
to make sure that meat or poultry is cooked through.
●
When turning meat over, use tongs or a spatula as these will not puncture the meat
and allow the juices to run out.
Using the griddle
The griddle will darken and ‘season’ with use, developing a natural non-stick coating.
When it is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional oil.
1 Remove the cover and check that the grease drip-pan is properly in place.
IMPORTANT!
●
Never turn on or use the griddle with the cover in place.
●
Always keep the vents at the rear of the griddle frame clear of any object:
airflow to the vents must not be blocked.
2 If you haven’t used the griddle for a long time, re-season it. See section ‘First use –
seasoning the griddle’ for instructions.
3 Turn the griddle knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature.
●
There may be a delay of a minute or so before the griddle comes on. This is normal.
●
While the griddle is heating up, the halo around the knob will glow white.
●
See the ‘Griddle cooking chart’ below for suggestions.
4 When the halo turns orange (after about 15 minutes), the griddle is ready to use.
●
Note: the halo may alternate between white and orange during use as the griddle
maintains the set temperature.
5 When you have finished using the griddle, turn its knob clockwise back to OFF.
6 Clean the griddle and grease drip-pan after every use. The griddle should be cleaned
very carefully while it is still hot. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Clean the grease drip-pan after every use. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard.

CARE AND CLEANING
DOSDON’TS
●
Read these cleaning instructions and the
‘Safety and warnings’ section before you
start cleaning your range.
●
Before cleaning or removing any part,
make sure that everything on the range
has been turned off.
●
Unless suggested otherwise in the chart
following, allow any part to cool to a safe
temperature before cleaning. If you do
need to handle a warm or hot part
(eg grill or griddle), take extreme care.
Wear long protective mitts to avoid burns
from steam or hot surfaces.
●
Try using any cleaner on a small area first,
to ensure it doesn’t stain.
●
See the pages following this chart for
instructions on removing and replacing
different parts of the range for cleaning
or maintenance.
●
To help you identify any parts, see
illustrations in section ‘Introduction’ and
after this cleaning chart.
●
Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged if
you move the range for cleaning. Failure
to do this may result in the oven tipping,
and adults and children may be killed.
●
Do not use aerosol cleaners until
the range has completely cooled.
●
The propellant substance in these
cleaners could catch fire in the
presence of heat.
●
Do not let soiling or grease
accumulate anywhere in or on the
range. This will make future cleaning
more difficult and may present a
fire hazard.
●
Do not use any abrasive or harsh
cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or
steel wool. These will scratch your
range and damage its appearance.
●
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
any part of the range.
●
Do not perform any cleaning or
maintenance on parts not specifically
named in the chart below. If in doubt,
contact Customer Care.
●
Do not lift the black grill and
griddle frames off the cooktop.

CARE AND CLEANING
Using the CLEAN cycle
About the CLEAN cycle
●
Main ovens in RDV2 models feature a self-cleaning cycle (CLEAN) which 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 food soils and grease deposits. All that remains is a clean oven cavity
with a little gray ash which you can easily remove.
●
A CLEAN cycle lasts about 5 hours, plus an additional cool-down time of up to
30 minutes (this may vary). During a CLEAN cycle, the oven door will be locked
and only the cooktop burners may be used. The secondary oven, grill, and griddle
cannot be used.
●
A CLEAN cycle is designed to clean the oven interior and the portion of the door
exposed to the oven interior. The outer edge of the door and the oven frame will
need to be cleaned manually.
●
During a CLEAN cycle you may see occasional, brief glowing in the oven as soiling
is getting incinerated, especially if the oven was heavily soiled. This is normal.
However, if there is excessive smoking or you see flames in the oven, cancel the cycle,
wait for the oven to cool down completely, then wipe up the excessive food soil.
See ‘To cancel a CLEAN cyle’ for instructions.
IMPORTANT!
●
Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners in a self-cleaning
oven.
●
If there are cracks or flaws in the oven door glass, if the oven gasket is damaged,
stiff, or worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a CLEAN cycle.
Call your Authorized Service Center or Customer Care.
●
Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves, broiler pan, and all other bakeware
and utensils from the oven before starting a CLEAN cycle. If left in the oven, they will
become permanently discolored or damaged; items made from combustible materials
(eg wood, fabric, plastic) may even catch fire.
●
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.
●
Before starting a CLEAN cycle, wipe up any spills or grease deposits and remove
any loose food soiling. Failure to do so may discolor the oven surfaces and cause
excessive smoking during the cycle.
●
Before starting a 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 self-cleaning, and may die if left in the same room as the oven during such
a cycle.
●
Make sure the room is well ventilated during the CLEAN cycle. Turn the ventilation
hood above the range on maximum and leave it on for the duration of the cycle.
●
During a 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.
45
CARE AND CLEANING
To start a CLEAN cycle
1 Remove oven shelves, side racks and all other accessories, bakeware, and utensils.
See ‘Removing and replacing the side racks’ and ‘Positioning the shelves’ for
instructions.
2 Wipe up any spills or grease deposits and remove any loose food soiling. Failure to do
so may discolor the oven surfaces and cause excessive smoking during the cycle.
3 Check that the lamp covers are in place.
4 If there is soiling on the oven frame or the outer edge of the door interior (the shaded
areas shown above), clean these using a soap-filled non-abrasive pad, then wipe with
a clean damp cloth.
5 Close the oven door firmly.
6 Turn the ventilation hood above the range on maximum, and leave it on for the
duration of the cycle.

CARE AND CLEANING
When a CLEAN cycle has finished
Once the oven has cooled to a cooking temperature,
the halos around the function and temperature knobs
will go out and the door will unlock.
You need to:
1 Turn the oven mode and temperature knobs
clockwise to OFF.
●
This will re-enable the grill or griddle, and the
secondary oven (48” models only).
●
You may continue to hear the noise of the cooling
fan: it is normal for the fan to stay on.
IMPORTANT!
Do not turn the power supply to the range off at the circuit breaker panel.
The cooling fan is needed to cool the oven. Disconnecting the range from the power
supply while the oven is too hot may damage the oven and its surrounding cabinetry.
2 Wait until the oven door automatically unlocks.
3 After the door has unlocked, wait for the oven to cool down completely.
IMPORTANT!
The oven will still be at cooking temperatures when the door unlocks. Take care.
4 Remove any gray ash from the oven with a small brush or damp cloth.
5 Wipe out the oven with a clean, damp cloth and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
6 Replace the side racks and shelves. See sections ‘Removing and replacing the
side racks’ and ‘Positioning the shelves’ for instructions.
To cancel a CLEAN cycle
1 Turn the oven mode and temperature knobs clockwise to OFF.
●
The halos will remain red.
●
The door will remain locked. Once the oven has cooled to a cooking temperature
(this may take up to 30 minutes, depending on the stage the cycle was in when
canceled), the halos around the function and temperature knobs will go out and the
door will unlock.
●
This will re-enable the grill or griddle, and the secondary oven (48” models only).
●
You may continue to hear the noise of the cooling fan: it is normal for the fan to stay on.
IMPORTANT!
Do not turn the power supply to the range off at the circuit breaker panel.
The cooling fan is needed to cool the oven. Disconnecting the range from the power

2 Wait until the oven door automatically unlocks (up to 30 minutes).
3 After the door has unlocked, wait for the oven to cool down completely.
IMPORTANT!
The oven will still be at cooking temperatures when the door unlocks. Take care.
4 If necessary, wipe up any food soiling inside the oven.
●
We do not recommend cancelling a CLEAN cycle and then immediately starting
one again.
