Your oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking
procedures. Please keep the following safety instructions in mind when you are using it:
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn the oven off at the wall before replacing the oven lamp.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock or death.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Follow the instructions on starting a Self Clean cycle carefully. Items made
from combustible materials (for example: wood, fabric, plastic) may catch
fire if left in the oven during a Self Clean cycle.
Do not place aluminium foil, dishes, trays, water or ice on the oven floor
during cooking, as doing so will irreversibly damage the enamel; lining the
oven with aluminium foil may even cause fire.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons could
be burned or injured or a fire could start.
Storage in or on appliance: flammable materials should not be stored in
an oven or near its surface.
Failure to follow this advice may result in overheating, burning, and injury.
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot when in use.
To avoid burns and scalds, keep children away.
Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as
oven shelves or dishes.
Use care when opening the oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven. Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces
of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of the oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns -
among these surfaces are the oven vent,
the surface near the oven vent, and the oven door.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.

qualified technician.
● Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an
isolating switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.
● Do not change or modify the wireless communication device in any way. Changes
or modifications not expressly approved by Fisher & Paykel could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
● Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.
● Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
● User servicing: do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
● Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or
foam type extinguisher.
● Use only dry oven mitts or potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot areas or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or a bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch fire.
● Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
● 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 warm weather.
● Always keep oven vents unobstructed.
● Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote
control system.
● Caution: Hot air can blow from the vent at the base of the oven as part of the oven’
cooling system.
● Placement of oven shelves: always position shelves in the desired location while the
oven is cool (before preheating). If a 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.
● Do not clean the oven seal or use any oven-cleaning products on it. It is essential for a
good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move it.
● Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes. No
commercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they scratch the surface,
which may result in the glass shattering.
● Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
● Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
● Before starting a Self Clean cycle (some models only) remove oven shelves and all
other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
● Before starting a Self Clean cycle (some models only) make sure you move any pet
birds to another, closed and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during a Self Clean cycle and may die if left in the
same room as the oven during such a cycle.
● During a Self Clean cycle (some models only) the oven reaches higher temperatures
than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than
usual and children should be kept away.
● Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on the oven to retrieve items.
● Do not install or operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you
receive a damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.
● Use only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the bakeware manufacturer’s
instructions.
● The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Small amounts of harmful chemicals
are given off in the oven’ self-cleaning cycle from insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Venting with a hood or open window, and wiping out excess food spills prior to self
cleaning the oven reduces exposure.

FIRST USE
Your oven comes with two shelves positioned and secured inside
● The following shows you how to remove and reposition the shelves to your preferred
position
● We recommend you then condition the oven.
Remove all cable ties and
packaging holding the
shelving in place
Remove shelves from the oven
1Remove all the shelving, taking special care with the sliding shelf (some models only).
2To remove a sliding shelf, grip it at the front (making sure you are gripping the wire shelf
and the sliding frame together), lift upwards and pull it out of the oven.
For your safety, the wire shelves and sliding frames are built together as
one unit and are not separable. When placed properly on the side racks, the slides will
prevent the wire shelves from tilting when pulled towards you.
To remove the sliding
shelf unit, lift up and
out

9
FIRST USE
Replace shelving in your preferred positions
To replace a wire shelf:
● Check the guard rail (as shown) to make sure
the shelf is the right way up.
● Slide it horizontally back along the side racks
ensuring it is level and the stop notch is facing down.
To replace a full extension sliding shelf (some models only)
● Position the shelf so that it is level, with the front bar toward you (as shown).
● Check the guard rail (as shown) to ensure the shelf is the right way up.
● Ensure the sliding frame is not extended.
● Position the shelf on top of the side racks, so the rear shelf tag at the back of the sliding
frame rests behind the side rack wire (as shown).
IMPORTANT!
Ensure the sliding shelf is positioned on top of the side rack wires rather than
between them.
● Push the sliding shelf all the way to the back of the oven, until the front shelf tag drops
into place behind the side rack wire.
We recommend placing the telescopic sliding shelf on position 2 or 4.
To prevent the tags from lifting off the side racks, take care to slide the shelves
forward horizontally.

COOKING GUIDE
General guidelines
This oven has been designed to utilise its four elements and rear fan in differing
combinations to provide you with enhanced performance and a wide range of functions,
allowing you to cook all types of food to perfection.

BAKING
● For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven. The temperature halo will
change from red to white when the pre-set temperature is reached.
● While the oven is heating the broil element will be on.
● We advise you do not open the door until at least 3/4 of the way through cooking.
● Make sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.
● When baking double the recipe (especially cookies) cook time may need to increase.
● Your cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly than
reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature
● Multi-shelf baking may also require a slight increase in cooking time.
Shelf Position Guide
● Single shelf: Place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the
center of the oven cavity.
● Multi shelf: Always leave a space between shelves to allow the air to circulate.

16
COOKING GUIDE
ROASTING
● The Roast function is designed to brown the outside of the meat but still keep the inside
moist and juicy.
● Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones.
● Poultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal temperature
of 165°F (75oC).
● If using a roasting bag, do not use the Roast function. The initial searing stage is too
hot for roasting bags. Use Fan Bake or Fan Forced and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
● When using the Roast function, do not cover your roast, as this will stop the searing
process browning the outside of the meat. If you prefer to roast in a covered pan, use
the Fan Bake function instead and increase the temperature by 70°F (20oC).
● Cook larger cuts of meat at a lower temperature for a longer time. The meat will cook
more evenly.
● Always roast meat fat side up. That way, basting may not be required.
● Always rest the meat for at least 10 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to settle.
Remember the meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it from the
oven.
● Try our new Vent Bake function as an alternative for roasting pork. The drier atmosphere
will help to perfect your crackling.
Shelf Position Guide
Place the meat on a shelf so that the meat is in the center of the oven or lower.
BROILING
● This is a healthier alternative to frying.
● Always broil with the oven door completely shut.
● If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high temperatures of
the broil.
● To avoid piercing the meat and letting juices escape, use tongs or a spatula to turn the
meat halfway through cooking.
● Brush meat with a little oil to help keep the meat moist during cooking. Alternatively
marinade the meat before broiling (but be aware that some marinades may burn easily).
● Where possible broil cuts of meat of a similar thickness at the same time. This will
ensure even cooking.
● Always keep a close watch on your food while broiling to avoid charring or burning.
Shelf Position Guide
● For thinner cuts of meat, toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.
● Thicker cuts of meats should be broiled on lower shelves or at a lower broil setting to
ensure even cooking.

17
COOKING GUIDE
REHEATING
● Use Bake, Fan Bake or Vent Bake to reheat food.
● Bake and Vent Bake are particularly good for reheating pastry based items, as the base
heat will help re-crisp the pastry case.
● Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful
bacteria.
● Once hot, use the Warm function to keep the food warm.
Never reheat a food more than once.
Drip Channel
Any condensation that is formed during the cooking process will collect in the drip
channel. This can be wiped out using a sponge once the oven has cooled.

18
OVEN FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
● Depending on your model, you may only have some of these functions.
● Use all the functions with the oven door closed.
upper outer and lower elements
● Heat comes from both the upper and lower elements. The fan is not used in this
function.
● Ideal for cakes and foods that require baking for a long time or at low temperatures.
● This function is not suitable for multi-shelf cooking.
Ideal for moist foods that take a longer time to cook eg rich fruit cake, or bread in
combination with Vent Bake.
upper outer and lower elements with additional venting
● Heat is produced by the upper and lower elements and additional oven venting is used
to remove excess moisture, reducing the formation of steam and condensation.
● Vented baking allows the moisture content of the oven to be reduced, without
compromising the temperature.
● The venting system results in gentle air movement without the need to use a fan.
● It provides gentle browning without the `drying out’ effect of a fan.
● Reducing the formation of condensation means it is perfect way to slow cook meat
dishes.
● You may switch from Bake to Vent Bake for foods that like a moist (steamy) start to the
cooking process and then benefit from a drier finish (such as bread).
● Use Vent Bake at a low temperature 120oF (50oC) for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Ideal for foods such as:
- meringues
- Yorkshire pudding
- finishing off choux pastry, croissants, breads
- slow cooked meat dishes
- poached foods (fish, chicken)
- dishes where initial crisping of the outside is desired (eg pork belly)
