BURNER USE Selecting and using burners 1 Identify the desired burner and the corresponding dial. Push the dial in and turn counterclockwise to LITE. Hold the dial at LITE before turning to a flame setting. 2 You should hear a clicking sound when setting to LITE. If no clicking sound is present, turn the dial back clockwise to OFF and refer to 'Troubleshooting' for advice. When the burner is lit, turn the dial to any setting between HI (high) and SIM (simmer).
BURNER USE Manual lighting If there has been a power outage, the burners can be manually lit. If the flame is blown out during a power failure, turn the dial immediately to OFF as the burner will not relight and gas may escape. 1 Carefully hold a battery operated lighter near the desired burner. 2 Push the dial in and turn counterclockwise to LITE. Hold the dial at LITE before turning to a flame setting. 3 When the burner is lit, turn the dial to any setting between HI (high) and SIM (simmer).
BURNER USE Burner use guidelines Burner output All burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering (1,300 BTU/ hr). Use SIM for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot. For cooking that requires intense heat use the burners listed below. These have a higher maximum output (23,500 BTU/hr for Natural gas) than other burners (17,000 BTU/hr for LP gas).
CARE AND CLEANING ALWAYS NEVER • • • • • • • 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.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT! Enamel Wipe with a damp cloth and a solution of hot water and mild detergent then dry with a soft cloth. Note: the oven door may be removed for ease of access. • oven interior – light soiling Side racks To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked on’, we recommend removing any easy-to-reach spills, from the enamel after each use. Pre-soak any stubborn, soiling, then clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot water and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT! Burner caps and brass flame spreaders Ensure the burner is turned OFF and cool. Lift off the burner cap and brass flame spreader and wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry. Use a stiff nylon brush or straightended paper clip to clear the notches of the flame spreader. Replace the flame spreader and burner cap correctly. See 'Replacing burner parts'. Keep the notches of the flame spreaders clear. Soiling may clog these and cause ignition problems.
CARE AND CLEANING Removing the side racks Remove the side racks to make cleaning the oven easier. Always turn the oven off at the wall first. Ensure the oven has cooled down completely before starting. 1 Slide out all shelves and remove. 2 Gently pull down on the retaining wire from underneath the lock stud. The retaining wire will pop out. 3 Swing the bottom of the side rack up towards the center of the oven until it is almost horizontal. Slide the prongs at the top out of the mounting slots.
CARE AND CLEANING Refitting the side racks 1 Supporting the side rack from underneath, hold it almost horizontally and place the prongs into the mounting slots. 2 Ensure the prongs are fully inserted into the slots, then lower the side rack carefully, and gently push the retaining wire underneath the lock stud.
CARE AND CLEANING Replacing the oven light bulbs Use a 40 W, 120 V appliance light bulb for replacement. Do not use a standard light bulb in any oven, the heat will break it. Changing the bulb 1 2 3 4 Allow the oven (including the lamp cover and the bulb) to cool completely. Remove any shelves that may get in the way. Remove the door if the lamp will be hard to reach. Turn the power supply to the range off at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. If you don’t know how to do this, contact an electrician.
CARE AND CLEANING Removing and refitting the oven door. z z z z Take care, the oven door is heavy. Do not lift the oven door by its handle. Doing so may damage the door. Ensure the oven and the door are cool before you begin to remove the door. Before removing the door, ensure there is a large enough clear, protected surface in the kitchen to rest the door on. To remove the door Open the door completely. 1 2 3 34 Open the hinge locks fully on both sides.
CARE AND CLEANING To refit the door 1 Holding the door at 45°, carefully align the hinge tongues with the hinge slots. Push the door in until you feel the latches slot into position on each side. 2 Open the door completely and ensure both hinges are secured by the correct notches. 3 Rotate the locks up into the closed position ensuring they rest inside the slots completely. Incorrect installation will prevent door from correctly sealing.
CARE AND CLEANING Replacing burner parts When replacing the burners, ensure the two locating pins on the bottom of the brass flame spreader are correctly aligned with the locating pin holes on the top of the simmer ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and cause poor burner performance.
TROUBLESHOOTING If there is a problem with your oven, please check the following points before contacting your local Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or the Customer Care Centre. General PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO The oven does not work (no heating). No power supply (oven light and dial halos do not come on) Ensure the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped and there is no power outage in your area. If there is a power outage, you cannot use the oven until power is restored.
TROUBLESHOOTING General PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO The oven has reached the set temperature but the temperature dial halo is still red. The oven is set to BROIL This is normal. The dial halo will stay red whenever this function is in use as the broil element is always heating. The oven sounds a tone when I try to set the temperature below a certain temperature.
TROUBLESHOOTING Cooktop burners PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO The ignitor keeps clicking (continuous spark) even when a burner has lit. Dirty or wet ignitor(s) Clean the ignitor(s). See 'Care and cleaning' for guidance. None of the burners will light. No power supply The cooktop burners can still be used. To light them manually refer to 'Manual lighting' for guidance. No gas supply Check that the gas supply to the house is working. You should hear the gas when you turn a burner on.
ALERT CODES 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.
