Safety and warnings 4 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. WARNING! Fire Hazard Follow the instructions on starting a Self Clean cycle carefully.
Safety and warnings 5 WARNING! Cut Hazard Take care - some edges are sharp. Failure to use caution could result in injury or cuts. 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.
6 Safety and warnings Important safety instructions 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.
Safety and warnings 7 Important safety instructions 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.
8 Cooking guide FAN BAKE GRILL Congratulations on your new purchase. Your Fisher & Paykel oven has a number of features to make cooking a great experience for you: a wide choice of oven functions a convenient Self-Clean function – see ‘Using the Self Clean function’ intuitive controls and displays illuminated halos around the dials for visual feedback Before you start GRILL Make sure the installer has completed the ‘Final checklist’ in the Installation instructions.
Cooking guide 9 BAKING For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven. The grill element may come on for a short time while the oven is heating up. 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.
10 Cooking guide BROILING This is a healthier alternative to frying. Always broil with the oven door completely shut. 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).

Oven functions 15 this is not a cooking function Warm Provides a constant low heat of less than 195°F / 90°C. 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’.
