Oven displays Oven mode dial and display Turn clockwise to select the desired oven mode. When the mode is set, the lights and cooling fan will come on. Temperature dial and display Turn clockwise to select the oven temperature you want to cook at. The default setting for the temperature display is degrees Celsius.
Oven modes Your Fisher & Paykel AeroTech™ oven has nine cooking modes plus Warm and Self Clean. These modes use different combinations of elements and the Aero fan to give you maximum flexibility when cooking. TrueAero: fan plus fan element TrueAero is a very flexible method of cooking.
Page 12
Warm Warm is a constant low heat of 75 °C. It is excellent for keeping cooked food hot and warming plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold, use TrueAero and change to Warm only when the food is piping hot, as this mode will not bring cold food up to a temperature high enough to kill any harmful bacteria.
Self Clean This oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle that takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. During self-clean cycles the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking and this burns off and breaks down soil and grease deposits. A smoke eliminator and active venting system eradicate odour.
Shelf positions Optilevel™ The Optilevel™ shelving system allows you to choose the optimum cooking level within the oven. Placing the shelves on or between the shelf support runners provides 13 cooking positions to choose from. Place the shelves prior to heating the oven. Generally, the shelf positions located in the top of the oven are suitable for grilling.
Accessories (not all accessories supplied in all models) Grilling/Roasting system The three-piece grilling system (made up of the pan, grid and rack) is designed to prevent hot fat and juices in the grill pan splattering throughout the oven. All pieces can be used together as one complete unit, or in different combinations. Glass tray This is made of extremely tough glass and is perfect oven-to-tableware.

Automatic cooking Automatic time 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 oven mode and temperature.

During cooking, and the remaining cook time will show in the clock display. The AUTO, COOK TIME oven mode and temperature displays will be bright, and the oven light will be on. When the cook time is finished, the oven will beep and turn off. The oven and temperature displays will dim, and the oven light will go off.
Oven operation Cooking probe Use your cooking probe to accurately judge when your meat is perfectly cooked. The probe can be used on TrueAero, AeroBake, Roast, AeroGrill and Bake modes. Using the cooking probe Select the oven mode and temperature and preheat the oven if appropriate - Roast does not require preheating.
Page 20
The cooking probe can be used with automatic cooking functions. If the probe 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.
Page 21
Selecting the cooking time for your roast depends on your personal preference. Meat taken straight from the refrigerator will take longer to cook. Poultry should always be well cooked with the juices running clear. Roasting is a method of cooking meat that uses dry heat. Don’t add water to your roast as this has a steaming effect.

Tips for successful grilling Position the oven shelves before you turn the oven on. To make cleaning your grilling dishes easier, spray the rack, grid and inside of the pan with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray before use. For best results allow the grill to warm up for a minute or two before putting food in the oven.

Dehydrating and proving bread Tips for dehydrating To obtain a high quality dried product, select only unblemished, mature fruit. Wash fruit thoroughly and pat dry. Peel if desired. Unpeeled fruit will take longer to dry. Remove stones, stems or pips if necessary. Place fruit on a baking tray on a shelf in the oven. We recommend using TrueAero or AeroBake at 50 °C.
User select options All about User Select mode User Select mode allows you to configure some of the settings displayed on your AeroTech™ oven control panel.

Tips for using Sabbath mode In double oven models, different temperatures can be selected for upper and lower ovens by using their temperature dials. The oven mode dial for the lower oven must be turned to a function to activate the lower oven. The oven can be turned off at any time during Sabbath mode by turning the oven mode and temperature dials to OFF, but the oven will not revert to regular operation until the set time has elapsed.

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, TrueAero, AeroBake, and AeroGrill will take less time than with Bake.
Cleaning WARNING! Hot Surface and Electrical Shock Hazard Make sure all oven controls are turned off and the oven is cool before cleaning. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns. Important! Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, pumice cleaners, polishes or commercial oven cleaners to clean your oven.
