SAFETY AND WARNINGS 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 electrical shock or death. ! WARNING! Fire Hazard Follow the instructions on starting a Self Clean cycle carefully.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS ! 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.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 6 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 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 well-ventilated 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.
COOKING GUIDE 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 ● ● ● ● ● ● Make sure the installer has completed the ‘Final checklist’ in the Installation instructions.
COOKING GUIDE ● ● ● ● ● ● ● BAKING For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven. The broil 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 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.
COOKING GUIDE ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 10 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.
OVEN FUNCTIONS Bake upper outer and lower elements ● ● ● Heat comes from both the upper and lower elements. The fan is not used in this function. Ideal for cakes and foods that require baking for a long time or at low temperatures. This function is not suitable for multi-shelf cooking. Ideal for moist foods that take a longer time to cook eg rich fruit cake.
OVEN FUNCTIONS True Aero fan and rear element ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 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.
OVEN FUNCTIONS Maxi Broil upper inner and outer elements ● ● ● ● Intense radiant heat is delivered from both top elements. There are 9 steps between ‘Lo’ and ‘Hi’ (100% power). 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 temperature halo will remain red while using the broil function.
OVEN FUNCTIONS Aero Pastry fan plus lower element ● ● The fan circulates heat from the lower element throughout the oven. Excellent for cooking pizza as it crisps the base beautifully without overcooking the topping. Ideal for foods such as sweet and savory pastry foods and delicate foods that require some top browning eg frittata, quiche. (some models only) Roast fan plus upper and lower elements ● ● ● A two-step program.
OVEN FUNCTIONS 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 proof bread. See below ‘Tips for proofing bread’.
COOKING CHARTS The recommendations in the following charts are guidelines. A lot of factors affect the exact time and temperature required for baking, roasting and broiling. Follow the instructions in your recipe or on packaging and be prepared to adjust the oven settings and cook times to achieve the best possible results for you. Note: The broil element may come on for a short time while the oven is heating up.

CARE AND CLEANING Manual cleaning ALWAYS ● ● ● ● ● 38 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-toreach spills, food or grease stains from the oven cavity enamel after each use.
CARE AND CLEANING Manual cleaning WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT! Dials Clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot water, then wipe dry. Do not use stainless steel or oven cleaner on the dials, as doing so may damage their coating.
