Safety and warnings Placement of oven racks (shelves): always position racks (shelves) in the desired location while the oven is cool (before preheating). If a rack (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.
Introduction About your new oven Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel built-in multifunctional oven. Now that it is installed and ready to use, you will want to know everything about it to make sure you get excellent results right from the start.
Using your oven - before you start Setting the clock When your oven is connected to a power supply for the first time, a tone will sound and the clock display will light up. The clock display will show ‘12:00’ and the colon ( : ) will flash. Next, set the clock.
Using your oven - before you start Using the oven controls In double ovens, knobs on the left are for the upper oven and knobs on the right are for the lower oven. Pushing the oven cavity selector button lets you toggle between the oven cavities, for example if you are setting automatic programs.
Using your oven - before you start Oven Functions BAKING TRUE AERO: fan plus fan element A concealed heating element surrounding the fan in the rear of the oven heats air, which is then blown into the cavity. The consistent temperature ensures baking is well risen and evenly coloured.
Page 11
Using your oven - before you start GRILLING GRILL: upper inner element GRILL delivers intense heat from the inner region of the top element. Great when you need to quickly grill one to two portions of your usual favourites, like crispy chicken breasts or a steak.
Using your oven Positioning the shelves Placing the telescopic sliding shelves on the side racks provides eight cooking positions to choose from. See the ‘Cooking guidelines’ for suggested shelf positions. To position the shelves Always position oven shelves BEFORE heating the oven. To remove a sliding shelf, grip it by its two front corners (making sure you are gripping the wire shelf and the sliding frame together), tilt upwards and pull it out of the oven.
Using your oven Choosing the right bakeware The size, shape and material of the bakeware will affect the baking time. Rack The three-piece grill/roast system provided with your oven (consisting of the pan, grid and rack) has been designed to reduce splatter and smoke, and is therefore Grid ideal for grilling and roasting.
Using your oven Selecting function and temperature To select a function, turn the function knob. To select a temperature, turn the temperature knob clockwise. For double ovens, knobs on the left are for the upper oven and knobs on the right are for the lower oven. See the ‘Cooking guidelines’...
Using your oven Using the oven functions Baking For best results when baking, always preheat the oven to the temperature recommended in the recipe. Make sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven by staggering them across shelves.

Using your oven Roasting Using the ROAST function will give you a tender and juicy roast that is full of flavour. Place the meat on the grill/roast system on a shelf so that the top of the roast is in the centre of the oven or lower.

Using your oven Tips for dehydrating fruit To obtain high quality dried fruit, select only unblemished, ripe fruit. Wash fruit thoroughly and pat dry. Peel if desired. Fruit that is not peeled will take longer to dry. Remove pits, stems or seeds if necessary. Place fruit on a baking tray on a shelf in the oven. We recommend using TRUE AERO or AERO BAKE at 50°C.
Using your oven Using the meat probe Use your meat probe to accurately judge when your meat is perfectly cooked. You can use the probe on TRUE AERO, AERO BAKE, ROAST, AERO GRILL and BAKE functions. Select the oven function and temperature. Preheat the oven if appropriate.
Page 19
Using your oven Tips for using the meat probe You can use the meat probe with automatic cooking functions. If the meat reaches the set temperature before the stop time is reached, the probe will turn the oven off. The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by 2-8°C after you have removed it from the oven, so allow for this in your calculations.
Using your oven Automatic cooking Automatic time (delayed start) cooking will turn the oven on and off at times you have set. To set automatic time cooking Check that the clock shows the correct time. In double ovens, choose the upper or lower oven. This is important. Select the function and temperature.
Page 21
Using your oven Automatic stop cooking You can set the oven to automatic stop cooking at any time during cooking, or when you turn the oven on. To set automatic stop cooking Check that the clock shows the correct time. In double ovens, choose the upper or lower oven.
Cooking guidelines The recommendations in the following charts are guidelines. A lot of factors affect the exact time and temperature required for baking, roasting and grilling. 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.

Cooking guidelines Roasting meat We recommend you use the cooking probe to accurately judge when meat is cooked to your preference. ‘Time per pound/450 g’ is a rough guide and should only be used to estimate when the meat will be ready. Cooking with ROAST, AEROBAKE, and AEROGRILL will take less time than with BAKE.
Care and cleaning Removing and replacing the sliding shelves and side racks To remove a sliding shelf, grip it by its two front corners (making sure you are gripping the wire shelf and the sliding frame together), tilt upwards and pull it out of the oven. To remove the side racks, gently push the retaining wire from underneath the lock stud, then swing the lowest edge of the side rack up and out towards the centre of the oven until the rack is almost horizontal.

Care and cleaning Cleaning the enamel surfaces The oven interior and inner door liners are enamelled and are cleaned during the self-clean cycle. Cleaning the sliding shelves Important! Never leave the sliding shelves in the oven during a self-clean cycle. If you do leave them in the oven, the slides will no longer run smoothly.
Page 32
Care and cleaning SELF CLEAN function A self-clean cycle normally takes about five hours. This can be reduced to four hours, or anywhere in between four and five hours. Only one oven in a double oven can be self-cleaned at a time. When one oven is in a self-clean cycle, you cannot use the other oven.
Page 33
Care and cleaning To cancel the SELF CLEAN function before it has finished Turn the function and temperature knobs to OFF. CLEAN COOL will appear in the function display and the door will remain locked until CLEAN END appears. Important! Do not turn off the mains power supply to the oven.
User preference settings USER SELECT function USER SELECT function allows you to configure some of the settings displayed on your oven control panel. How to enter USER SELECT function Be sure that the function and temperature knobs are off, that no automatic programs are operating and that the clock is displaying the correct time.
Page 35
User preference settings How to change the temperature scale Enter the USER SELECT function and turn the function knob clockwise until TEMP SCALE appears in its display. PUSH TO Press to select either C or F in the clock display. Selecting C will convert the CLEAR numbers shown in the temperature display to degrees Celsius, while selecting F will show the oven temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit.

User preference settings How to change the language Your oven is preset to use Fisher & Paykel’s AERO terminology. This is listed in the languages as LANG UK ENG. However, you may choose to use an alternative, CONV terminology. This is listed in the other languages as LANG DCS.
Troubleshooting Fault codes If there is a fault, the oven will beep every second, and a fault code will appear in the clock display as a letter ‘F’ with a number after it. Important! Do not turn off the mains power supply to the oven if you get a fault code. The fans are needed to cool the oven.
