Oven elements
1 broil burner
2
2 cavity fan
3
3 bake burner (concealed)
Ensure all functions are used with the oven door closed.
Baking
z
For best results when baking, always pre-heat your oven.
z
Single shelf cooking: place your baking on a shelf that will position the top of your pan
near the centre of the oven.
z
Multi shelf cooking: Always leave a space between shelves to allow the air to circulate.
Broiling
z
Always broil with the oven door completely shut.
z
Always keep a close watch on your food to avoid charring or burning.
z
If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand high oven temperatures.
z
For thinner cuts of meat, or for toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.
z
Thicker cuts of meats should be broiled on lower shelves or at a lower broil setting to
ensure even cooking.
Setting BROIL in the main cavity
Turn both the OVEN MODE and TEMPERATURE
dials to BROIL. The temperature is automatically
calibrated for optimal broiling.
Roasting
z
Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts require longer than roasts containing bones. Poultry
should be well cooked with the juices running clear and a minimum internal temperature
of 165°F (75°C).
z
Always roast meat fat side up.
z
Use a meat thermometer to determine when meat is cooked.
z
Always rest the meat for at least 10 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to settle.
The meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it from the oven.

Use and care
z
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boil-over causes smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite.
z
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.
z
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.
z
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
setting.
z
Make sure that all burner parts are correctly fitted. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled
burners may produce dangerous flames. See 'Replacing burner parts'.
z
Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boilover, ensure the affected burners
are cleaned 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.
z
Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping,
and burn without fluttering around the burner cap. If not, see 'Troubleshooting'
for advice.
z
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.

CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYSNEVER
• Read these 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 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.
• 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 which may cause death.
• Use aerosol cleaners until the range
has completely cooled. The propellant
substance in these cleaners could catch
fire in the presence of heat.
• Let soiling or grease accumulate
anywhere in or on the range. This will
make future cleaning more difficult and
may present a fire hazard.
• Use any abrasive or harsh cleaners,
cloths, scouring pads or steel wool. These
will scratch your range and damage its
appearance.
• Use a steam cleaner to clean any part of
the range.

If there is a problem, the oven will automatically suspend all oven functions and either the
TEMPERATURE or OVEN MODE dial will flash.
Do not turn off the mains power supply to the oven (wall switch) if you get an alert
unless the instructions in the chart following instruct you to. There are cooling fans within
the oven which are needed to cool the oven’s components. Turning off the power while
the oven is too hot may damage the oven and its surrounding cabinetry.
What to do if an alert is displayed
1 Make a note of the alert displayed. You may need this information.
2 If you can fix the problem and the alert code does not reappear, you may continue
using your oven.
If you can’t fix the problem yourself or the alert reappears and the problem persists: wait
until the cooling fans have stopped and the oven has completely cooled down, then turn
the power to the oven off at the wall and contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician or Customer Care with the alert code information.
