Introduction  
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  
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  
and the temperature knob  
.
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.

Operating the oven  
Your oven has a variety of cooking functions to suit your needs (not all models have the entire  
range of cooking functions). Depending on which model you have, your oven will have either a  
ringer timer, or function and temperature control knobs.  
Note: the oven cooling fan comes on automatically at different stages of the cooking cycle. It  
blows out warm air above the door. When the oven is turned off, the cooling fan may stay on  
until the oven cools down.  
Ringer timer model (R)  
The ringer timer model has two cooking functions: Bake (between ‘LO’ and ‘HI’) and Grill.  
To turn the oven on to Bake, simply turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the required  
temperature. The oven light will come on automatically while the oven is in use. The oven  
indicator light will glow until the oven has reached the set temperature.  
When you have finished cooking, turn the temperature control knob to Off.  
For grilling, turn the temperature control knob to Grill.

For all shelf positions (unless your oven is supplied  
with shelf slides on position 7) make sure you fit  
shelves and the grill/roast pan between the metal  
runners of the shelf supports, as shown in Fig.12.  
The oven shelves and the grill/roast pan have a ‘stop  
notch’ so that you do not accidentally pull them right out  
of the oven. Make sure you put the stop notch towards the  
back of the oven, as shown in Fig.13.

Do not place aluminium foil or dishes with  
reflective qualities on the oven floor as this  
Stop notch  
will cause a heat build-up which will  
irreversibly damage the enamel.  
Shelf slides  
Shelf slides in shelf position 7 give  
easy access to the most commonly  
used shelf position for baking and  
roasting. The shelf slides can hold the  
wire shelves and the grill/roast pan.

Grilling  
For many meats grilling is considered to be a healthier option than frying. Recently, grilling has  
also become a popular way to cook vegetables.  
Tips for successful grilling  
GRILL and  
ECO GRILL  
Preheat the grill for five minutes before using it.  
Grill with the oven door open at the first stop-position.  
Place food on the three-piece grill/roast system, and slot it into one of the upper shelf positions  
(see the ‘Grilling chart’ for the most appropriate shelf).  
The higher you place the food, the faster it will cook and brown.  
The higher the temperature, the faster the food will cook and brown, and we recommend you  
grill at high temperatures. However, you can use lower temperatures.  
Grill only on one shelf at a time.  
Use ECO GRILL  
In ECO GRILL  
for smaller portions of food.  
, place the food on the middle of the grill rack in the three-piece grill/roast  
system (where the metal bars are further apart).  
FAN GRILL  
You do not need to preheat the grill.  
Use FAN GRILL  
with the oven door closed. The top elements cycle on and off, and the fan  
circulates the hot air. The thermostat maintains the oven temperature.  
Use FAN GRILL  
for foods you might otherwise pan fry, barbeque or rotisserie, and for larger  
cuts of meat. It’s also good for dishes like lasagne and moussaka.  
Place food on the three-piece grill/roast system, and slot it into one of the middle or lower shelf  
positions (see the ‘Grilling chart’ for the most appropriate shelf).

Baking  
Your built-in oven gives you an outstanding choice of baking options (see ‘Cooking functions’).  
Tips for successful baking  
Preheat the oven while you prepare your food – many baked items should not be left long  
before baking.  
Read the recipe and assemble the ingredients on the bench before you start.  
Use baking paper to line cake pans and biscuit trays, to eliminate the need for greasing.  
See the ‘Baking chart’ for suggested times, temperature and shelf positions.  
For best results use the trays supplied with your oven.  
Some foods are best cooked on a particular function (see the ‘Cooking function options’ chart).  
FAN BAKE  
is great for pastry products such as apple pie and anything that takes less than an  
hour to cook.  
When using FAN BAKE  
for a recipe that only gives instructions for BAKE  
you need to lower  
the oven temperature slightly (approximately 5-10 oC) and/or reduce the cooking time a little  
(approximately 10%).  
FAN FORCED  
is the best function for cooking on more than one shelf at a time. Space the  
shelves evenly in the oven so the hot air can circulate freely.  
Bread and rich fruitcakes are best cooked on BAKE  
. If two shelves of baking are cooked on  
this function swap them over towards the end of the cooking time (that is, move the upper tray  
to the lower position and the lower tray to the upper position) so both brown evenly.  
Always place baking pans centrally on the oven shelf. If cooking more than one pan on a shelf,  
space them evenly so the hot air can circulate freely around them. If the pans are large, it may be  
necessary to swap them around towards the end of the cooking time.  
CLASSIC BAKE  
base such as custard tarts, baked cheesecakes and quiches or anything that doesn’t need to be  
browned on top. Preheat the oven on FAN FORCED before switching function to CLASSIC  
BAKE  
uses heat from the bottom element only and is perfect for foods with a pastry  
.
Important!  
Some recipes recommend putting water or ice in the oven with bread dough during baking. The additional  
moisture improves the bread crust. You must place the water or ice in a dish on an oven shelf. Do not put it  
directly onto the oven floor. Placing water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor can irreversibly  
damage the enamel.

Roasting  
Your built-in oven is equipped to handle a variety of roasts.  
Tips for successful roasting  
When cooking large cuts of meat, times and temperatures are based on 30 minutes per  
500 g/1 lb. Times and temperatures given below are guidelines and small adjustments may be  
necessary.  
Roasting times will be affected by the shape, size and temperature of the meat being roasted.  
Meat with a bone will cook more quickly than a boneless roast.  
Do not add water to your roast, as this steams the meat.  
For perfect results, use a meat probe or a meat thermometer.  
Let all roast meats and poultry stand for 10-15 minutes at the end of cooking before carving.  
This allows the meat fibres to relax. Fewer juices will be lost when it is cut and the meat will be  
juicier and more tender. To keep the meat warm, cover with foil.  
The meat will continue to cook during standing, so allow for this in your calculations (this is  
particularly important if you want a rare or medium rare roast).  
Roasting can be achieved with a range of cooking functions. FAN BAKE  
BAKE and FAN GRILL can all be used for roasting, each giving unique results.  
Meats roasted on FAN GRILL cook and brown in a rotisserie style. Radiant heat sears the  
outside surface while the inside remains tender and juicy. You do not need to preheat the oven  
on FAN GRILL  
BAKE is the traditional function for roasting. Cook one tray at a time.

Care and cleaning - oven  
Cleaning the outside of the oven  
Important!  
Do not use abrasive cleaners or a steam cleaner on the outside surfaces of the oven.  
Before cleaning the outside of your oven, we recommend you turn the oven off at the wall.  
Wipe the oven’s outside surfaces often, using warm water and a household detergent and/or a  
stainless steel cleaner and polish.  
Cleaning the inside of your oven  
Important!  
Before you start cleaning inside your oven, please:  
Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section at the start of this guide.  
Turn the oven off at the wall.  
Make sure the oven is a safe temperature to touch.  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the inside of the oven.  
Do not use any oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based cleaners or detergents on the  
self-cleaning oven liners. See ‘Caring for the self-cleaning liners.  
It is easier to clean the oven while it is still warm, using household detergents or an ammonia-  
based cleaner. You may use ‘off the shelf’ oven cleaners, if you carefully follow the manufacturers’  
instructions.  
To make cleaning easier, you can remove the wire shelf supports, the oven door, and the fan  
cover. The top element also drops down to make cleaning the oven roof easier.

Care and cleaning - oven  
Removing and replacing the oven lamp  
Always turn the oven off at the wall before touching an oven lamp. To clean the oven more  
easily, pull off the glass cover. If you need to replace the light, simply unscrew it.  
Removing and replacing the shelf supports  
1
2
Push the shelf slides in position 7 back into the oven.  
To remove the shelf supports gently push the retaining wire from underneath the stud then  
swing the lowest edge of the shelf support up and out towards the centre of the oven. The  
prongs at the top will slide out.  
3
4
To replace the shelf support, hold them horizontally and locate the prongs into the small slots at  
the top of oven cavity.  
Lower the shelf support and gently place the retaining wire underneath the stud.  
Important!  
To avoid chipping the enamel – do not lower the shelf supports until the prongs are fully inserted into the  
small slots at the top of the oven.  
Cleaning the shelf slides  
Important!  
Do not wash the shelf slides in the dishwasher. Do not immerse them in soapy water, or use oven cleaner on  
them. Removing the ‘white’ lubricating grease will reduce the life of the shelf slides and prevent them from  
running smoothly.  
Wipe the shelf slides with a damp cloth and a mild detergent only. Do not wipe off or wash away  
the ‘white’ lubricating grease (you can see this when the slides are extended).  
Note: shelf slides are not supplied with every model.  
Caring for the self-cleaning liners  
Self-cleaning liners are supplied with some models of the built-in oven. They help reduce  
manual oven cleaning. The liners are coated with a special enamel which is porous and contains  
oxidising catalysts.  
Any grease and dirt coming into contact with the liner is absorbed by the enamel and is broken  
down with the help of the oxidising catalysts at normal cooking temperatures.  
As cleaning is improved by using a high temperature, it may be necessary to occasionally run the  
empty oven on FAN GRILL  
at 200 °C for 1 to 11/2 hours.  
Note: self-cleaning liners are not supplied with every model.

Fig.16 Ceramic cooktop  
Elements  
Your cooktop has four individual elements, one of which is a dual circuit element. The diameters  
of the cooking area are clearly marked.  
The elements become red when turned on full. Corresponding hot surface indicator lights glow  
on the control area.  
Temperature limiters are fitted to the elements to prevent the glass from overheating. The  
limiters will turn the elements on and off during cooking to maintain the temperature that has  
been set.  
Controls  
The controls on the underbench oven are ‘push and turn’ as a safety feature to deter children  
from turning the cooktop on.

Ceramic cooktop (CTE)  
Surface hot indicator lights  
The surface hot indicator lights are marked on the ceramic glass.  
The indicator lights will glow when the glass above an element  
is hot. They will continue to glow after the element has been  
turned off until the glass has cooled to a temperature that is safe  
to touch.  
Fig.18 Surface hot indicator lights  
Dual element control  
The left front element can be adjusted from inner element, to  
full element.  
To heat the entire element, push and turn control anticlockwise to Hi.  
To heat inner part only, push and turn control clockwise to Hi.  
Cookware  
Fig.19 Dual element control  
To get the best results out of your cooktop follow these simple suggestions:  
Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area.  
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times.  
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best  
results.  
When food comes to the boil reduce the temperature setting.  
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.  
Aluminium and copper-bottomed cookware can cause a metallic residue to remain on the  
cooktop. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the cooktop after every use.  
Jagged edges on saucepans or heavy frypans will scratch the cooktop.  
Using a lid will reduce cooking times.

Remove baked-on spills while they are still warm, using the razor blade scraper supplied.  
Wipe clean with a damp, soapy cloth.  
Allow to cool, then apply ceramic glass cooktop cleaner to soiled areas.  
Rub vigorously with a clean soft cloth or paper towel.  
Wipe over with a damp cloth to remove any food or cleaner residue. The cooktop may become  
stained if any of the cleaner is left on the cooktop.  
6
7
Apply ceramic glass cooktop polish sparingly, and rub well with a clean soft cloth or paper towel  
to ensure the whole cooktop surface is covered.  
Polish with a clean, dry, soft cloth.  
Important!  
Do not use abrasive sponges, or corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays and stain removers.  
When the safety cover is retracted the blade in the scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and  
always store safely and out of reach of children.  
Spillovers that require immediate attention  
Anything that MELTS on the ceramic surface, or food spillovers with a high sugar content, may  
cause pitting on the ceramic cooktop if they are left to cool there.  
Clean these listed spillovers immediately  
using the provided razor blade scraper.  
Do not let them cool on the cooktop.  
Melted plastics  
Plastic wrap  
Melted aluminium foil  
Sugar  
Sugar syrup  
Jam  
Vegetables with a high sugar  
content, eg peas and beetroot  
Clean and polish the cooktop after every spill. The polish protects the ceramic as it helps to  
prevent spills bonding to the surface.  
Metallic stains  
Copper-based or aluminium saucepans may cause metallic staining. These stains show as a  
metallic sheen on the cooktop. If the cooktop is not cleaned regularly and the stains are allowed  
to burn into the surface, they may react with the ceramic glass and will no longer be removable.  
Apply a ceramic glass polish after every use to help protect against stains.
