2Introduction
About your new oven
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel built-in 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. This guide introduces you to all its features, as well as giving you a comprehensive set of
cooking charts. We recommend you read the whole guide before using your new oven, for both
safety and cooking success.
Before using your new oven
Before using your new oven, please:
Read this user guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section following.
Remove all accessories and packaging (from both ovens in double models).
Set the clock. The oven will not work until the clock has been set. See the ‘Clocks and timers’
section.
Condition the oven/s by turning the function knob to FAN BAKE and the temperature knob
to 200 0C and heat for one hour. You can condition both ovens in double models at the same
time. The upper oven controls are on the right and the lower on the left .
There will be a distinctive smell while you are conditioning your oven. This is normal, but make
sure your kitchen is well ventilated during the conditioning.

Safety and warnings
Your built-in oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking
procedures. Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you are using your oven.
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts will become hot when this oven is in use.
Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use with the door open.
To avoid burns and scalds keep children away.
Do not touch hot surfaces inside the oven.
Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as oven
shelves or dishes.
Take care when opening the oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds.
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Switch the oven off at the wall before replacing fuses or the oven lamp.
Do not use the appliance if the cooktop surface is cracked. Switch the
appliance off at the power supply and contact your service centre.
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.
Important safety precautions
Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an isolating
switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.
Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have
a responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can
use the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after
cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take
particular care during warmer weather.
Do not place aluminium foil or dishes with reflective qualities on the oven floor as this will
cause a heat build-up which will irreversibly damage the enamel.
Do not stand on the door, or place heavy objects on it.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven or the ceramic cooktop.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since
they scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
When the safety cover is retracted the blade in the cooktop scraper is razor-sharp. Use with
extreme care and always store safely.
