WARNING!

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.

Installation

zEnsure the appliance is properly installed and earthed by a qualified technician.

zEnsure this range is connected to a circuit that incorporates an isolating switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.

zDo 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.

zVerify the anti-tip device has been correctly installed and engaged. See installation guide for details.

Servicing

zDo not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the user guide. All other servicing should be undertaken by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or qualified person.

Fire Hazard

zUse 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.

Food Safety

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

General Use

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

zChildren 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.

zChildren of less than 8 years old must be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised.

zThis 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 carried out by children without supervision.

zCaution: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the range or on the backguard of the range. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

zDo not place heavy objects on the oven door.

zAlways keep oven vents unobstructed.

zDo 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.

zCaution: Hot air can blow from the vent at the top of the range as part of the range’s cooling system.

zAlways 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.

zUse only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the bakeware manufacturer’s guides.

zOnly certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to sudden temperature changes.

zEnsure flow of combustion and ventilation is unobstructed.

zDo not use the oven for storage.

zDo not cook on a broken cooktop. Should the cooktop break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician immediately.

zDo not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop surface as they can get hot.

zNever leave surface units unattended at a high heat setting. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillover that may ignite.

zUtensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface.

Cleaning and maintenance

zDo not clean the oven seal or use any oven-cleaning products on it. This is essential for a good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the oven seal.

Replacing the shelves

1Grip the shelf at the front (ensuring you are holding the wire shelf and the sliding frame together).

2Ensure the shelf is level and facing the right way with the guard rail at the back.

3Place the shelf on top of the side racks at the desired height, hooking the rear tags over the side racks on both sides.

4Push the shelf all the way into the oven, making sure the front tags are also securely hooked over the side racks.

Ensure sliding shelves are positioned on top of the side rack wires instead of between them.
