Preheating your oven
Preheat your oven when using the following modes: TrueAero, AeroBake, Bake, AeroPastry and
Pastry Bake.
Position shelves in the oven before preheating.
When your oven is preheating, your selected cooking temperature is displayed alternately
with the actual oven temperature. When the oven has reached the selected temperature
an audible beep will sound and the temperature display will change from orange to green
(Brushed stainless steel models) or red to blue (Iridium stainless steel models).
Preheating your oven is not required when using Roast and AeroBroil.
The AeroTech™ oven is equipped with a fast preheat function. In TrueAero, AeroBake, Bake,
AeroPastry and Pastry Bake modes it will heat to 345ºF (175ºC) from cold in under 10 minutes
and to 425ºF (220ºC )in under 15 minutes.
To reactivate the fast preheat function
Turn the oven mode and temperature dials to ‘OFF’ then wait for the temperature and mode
lights to turn off before selecting your new oven mode and temperature settings.

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 convection fan to give you
maximum flexibility when cooking.
TrueAero: convection fan plus fan element
TrueAero is a very flexible method of cooking. 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 creates an ideal oven environment
giving baking which is well risen and evenly coloured. Cookies are crisp on the
outside and chewy in the middle, meat and poultry is delicously browned and
sizzling while remaining juicy and tender. Casseroles are cooked to perfection
and reheating is quick and efficient. TrueAero is the mode to choose for multi-
shelf cooking and complete oven meals.
AeroBake: convection fan plus upper and lower elements
The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and lower concealed
elements and distributes it around the oven cavity. Food cooked using
the AeroBake mode tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on
conventional modes like Bake. AeroBake is great for crisping pastry in lemon
meringue pie and vegetable phyllo parcels. AeroBake at a low temperature -
125°F (50°C) - is ideal for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Bake: upper and lower elements
Heat comes from the top outer and lower concealed elements. Bake is the
conventional cooking mode, suitable for single shelf cooking. It is ideal for
foods that require long cooking periods or cooking at low temperatures, like
meringues and rich fruitcakes.
AeroPastry: convection fan plus lower element
Heat from the lower concealed element is circulated throughout the oven cavity
by the oven fan. Excellent for sweet and savory pastry foods, for moist breads
and brownies and cookies that you want extra chewy.
Pastry Bake: lower element
Uses the heat from the lower element only, this is a traditional cooking mode
which is suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens. For best
results, cook on only one shelf at a time. Perfect for foods that require delicate
cooking and have a pastry base, like custard tarts, quiches and cheesecake or
anything that does not require direct heat and browning on the top surface.

10
Warm
Warm is a constant low heat of 165°F (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 when the food is hot, as this mode will not bring
cold food up to a temperature high enough to kill any harmful bacteria.
Roast
Roast is a two step program that has been developed to help you cook delicious
roasts effortlessly. Place the meat in the cold oven and the first stage will sear
the meat at a high temperature for 20 minutes to crisp and brown the exterior.
The oven then automatically drops to a lower, selected temperature for the
remainder of the cooking time, giving you a moist and juicy roast. Roast
can be used with or without the cooking probe and is also great for cooking
vegetables.
Broil: upper inner element
Broil delivers intense heat from the inner region of the top element. Great when
you need to quickly Broil smaller dishes, for example Crème Brulee, or one to
two portions of your usual favorites, like crispy chicken breasts or a steak. Broil
takes a minute or so to warm up and is carried out with the door closed. Power
levels are expressed as a percentage from LO (50% power) to HI (100% power).
Maxi Broil: upper inner and outer elements
Maxi Broil delivers intense heat from the entire top element. It is the most
suitable mode for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top of
potato gratin and frittata as well as cooking smaller cuts of meat. Use Maxi Broil
to toast bread or as well as Broiling your favorite chicken, fish and steak. Maxi
Broil takes a minute or so to warm up and is carried out with the door closed.
Power levels are expressed as a percentage from LO (50% power) to HI (100%
power).
AeroBroil: fan plus upper inner and outer elements
AeroBroil produces food with a finish that is similar to a rotisserie. Meat, poultry
and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside while
the inside remains moist and tender. Try using this mode with foods you might
usually fry, like meatballs. Great for chops, cutlets and beef burgers as well as
vegetables.

11
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 eradicates odor. The ash residue that remains can simply
be removed from the cool oven with a damp cloth or sponge.
All about the cooling fan
A cooling fan will come on automatically when most oven modes are used and blow air out
below the oven door. The cooling fan may continue to run after the oven is switched off to
keep the door and control panel cool.

12
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.
Organize the shelves prior to heating the oven. Generally the shelf positions located in the
top of the oven are suitable for Broiling. Shelves in the middle and lower region of the oven
are suitable for baking, roasting and casseroles. For more specific information on which shelf
position to use, refer to the Cooking Charts.
Your oven shelves come with built in
stop locks for your safety, this means
when inserted properly they will not
tilt when pulled towards you.
To insert shelves
Position the shelves so that the
single
^
in the center is facing
towards you, as shown, and slide the
shelf right to the back of the oven.
Shelves will feel very stable when
inserted correctly.

Accessories
Broiling system
The Broiling system is designed to prevent hot fat and juices in the broil pan splattering
throughout the oven. It is intended to be used as one complete unit, however pieces can be
interchanged.
Glass tray (OS302M, OD302M Iridium models only)
This is made of extremely tough glass and is perfect oven to tableware.
The glass tray is great for all broiling and baking modes.
Wash in hot soapy water or the dishwasher. Soaking with a little dishwasher detergent will
help to remove stubborn stains.
Cookie sheets
The cookie sheets have a non-stick finish and need only a light coating of cooking spray or
greasing before use.
Their dark color absorbs heat and you may find that your favorite recipes cook more quickly
than on old shiny trays. Alternatively you can reduce the oven temperature by approximately
60-70°F (15-20°C).
Allow your baking to cool for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven before removing it
from the tray using a wooden or teflon spatula.
Always remove food before it is completely cold. In most cases wiping with a paper towel is
all that is needed to clean the trays.
Pizza stone and paddle (OS302M, OD302M Iridium models only)
Your pizza stone will allow you to cook a pizza like one cooked in an authentic pizza oven.
Using the pizza stone is a great way to cook bought, ready made pizzas as well as home made
ones.
If cooking frozen pizza, allow to defrost completely before placing on the hot pizza stone.

Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the cooking cycle to begin. Typical foods to
avoid include those containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups, cooked and uncooked
meats, poultry and fish.
If cooking will not begin immediately, place only very cold or frozen food in the oven. Most
unfrozen foods should never stand in the oven for more than two hours before cooking begins.
Do not allow foods to remain in the oven for more than one hour after completion of the
cooking cycle.
WARNING!
Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed cooking modes.
To avoid potential spoiling of food and sickness, take the following steps:

17
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,
AeroBroil and Bake modes.
Using the cooking probe
1 Select the oven mode and temperature and
preheat the oven if appropriate - Roast does not
require preheating.
2 Insert as much of the metal cooking probe as
possible horizontally into the thickest part of the
fully defrosted meat. The thicker the meat, the
longer it will take to cook, so it is important that
the probe is measuring the temperature of the
meat at it’s thickest point. Make sure the probe
does not touch bone, fat or gristle, as this will give you a false reading.
3 Place the meat on the Broiling system.
4 When the oven has preheated (if required) to the set temperature place the Broiling system in
the oven and insert the plug end of the cooking probe into the probe socket, using an oven
mitt if the oven is hot. The probe socket is on the left hand side of the oven, halfway down
between shelf positions three and five. Make sure the probe is pushed into the socket, then
close the oven door.
5 Select the upper or lower cavity for double oven models using the oven cavity selector button.
6 Press the button on the control panel. The pre-set temperature of 150°F (65°C) and
‘Probe’ will light up in the display. If you want to select a different internal food temperature
from the preset temperature, rotate the Setting Selector dial while the
PROBE
symbol is
flashing. For cooking probe guidelines, see the Cooking Charts.
To cancel the cooking probe
To cancel the probe setting before the set temperature has been reached press the
button then the button.
Tips for using the cooking probe
The display will show the actual internal temperature. To look at the set internal temperature
press the button. The oven will beep and automatically turn off when the set internal
temperature has been reached. The temperature and oven mode displays will remain on and
the oven light will go out.

Return the oven to manual mode by pressing the button. Turn the oven mode and
temperature dials to ‘OFF’.
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 5-15°F (2-8°C) after you have
removed it from the oven so allow for this in your calculations.
Important points to note:
Use only the cooking probe that was supplied with your AeroTech™ oven.
Hold the cooking probe at the ‘handles’ when inserting and removing it from food and the
cooking probe socket.
Remember to remove the cooking probe from the oven before you start a clean cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
Only use the probe with foods that are fully defrosted.
Roasting
Roast is a two step program. It has an initial 20 minute searing stage to brown the roast and
caramelize the meat juices, then a reduction to your set temperature for the remainder of the
cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast that is full of flavor. Little browning takes
place after the initial 20 minute searing.
Using the Roast mode
1 Place the meat on the Broiling system on a shelf so that the top of the roast is in center of the
oven or lower.
2 Select Roast using the oven mode dial. Select the temperature. When using the Roast mode,
there is no need to preheat the oven. Use automatic/delayed start cooking if you want your
oven to automatically turn on/off. For suggested roasting times and temperatures see the
Cooking Charts.
Tips for a successful roast
The initial searing is too hot for ‘roasting bags’. Use TrueAero, AeroBake or Bake if you are using
roasting or oven bags and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Tender cuts should be cooked at a high temperature quickly, while tougher cuts require a
lower temperature for a longer time.
For perfect results use the meat probe to take out the guess work.
Placing the meat on the wire Broiling rack allows hot air to circulate around it and gives more
even browning.
