Using The Oven For The First Time; Self Cleaning Oven - Fisher & Paykel OB24SDPX Installation Instructions And User Manual

how to use the self cleaning oven
GENERAL FEATURES
The oven has special operating features.
Five different functions can be used to satisfy all cooking needs; it also has a self clean-
ing function which can clean the oven cavity at high temperature, a defrost function
and an oven light function.
These functions are managed by an electronic programmer which keeps the tempera-
ture set constant by means of a probe inside the oven cavity.
The oven has the following heating elements:
- Lower heating element (double) 500 + 1300 W
- Upper heating element
- Grill heating element
- Circular heating element

USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

- Put the shelf and the tray in the oven.
- Switch the oven on when it is empty (on any cooking function – NOT SELF CLEANING)
at maximum power for about 2 hours to remove traces of grease and smells from the
components.
- When the oven has cooled down and the appliance disconnected from the electrical sup-
ply, clean the inside of the oven with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and
dry it completely.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the multifunction self cleaning oven takes place as follows:
• by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
• by forced convection
The heat produced by the circular element is distributed throughout the oven by the
fan.
• by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red broil element.
• by radiation and fan
The radiated heat from the infra red broil element is distributed throughout the oven
by the fan.
• by double radiation and fan
The fan distributes the heat radiated by the broil heating element and the upper heat-
ing element in the oven.
• by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.
• by self cleaning
The heat produced by the heating elements cleans the internal oven cavity removing
all residue of grease.
THIS IS NOT A COOKING FUNCTION
NOTES ON OVEN WORKING
A cooling fan starts automatically when selecting a cooking or self cleaning mode.
It stops when turning the selector knob to OFF or light or defrosting position and
th inside oven cavity temperature drops below 100 °C (212 °F).
The purpose of this fan is to reduce the temperature inside/outside the appli-
ance.
Note: The first time the oven is used or after a black-out the program must be started
