Off
Selecting this will turn the oven off.
Bake
This is the traditional method of baking. It is best to bake on only one shelf at a time in this function. Ideal for large cakes and dishes that bake for several hours.
Fan Bake
Ideal for dishes like lasagne that need to brown on top and also single trays of small cakes or biscuits that bake in less than an hour.
Grill
Grill is the most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top of potato gratin and frittata. Use Grill to toast bread or to grill your favourite chicken, fish and steak. Note: heat levels are from LO (50% power) to HI (100% power), with settings from 1 to 9 in between. Grill provides instant radiant heat, so the temperature dial halo will stay red.
Fan Grill
Ideal for roasting tender cuts of meat and poultry. Use the lower shelf positions for larger items eg a whole chicken.
Fan Forced
Great for multi-shelf cooking. The consistent temperature ensures baking is well risen. Cookies baked on Fan Forced are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle.
Pastry Bake
Excellent for sweet and savoury pastry foods, for moist breads and brownies and cookies that you want extra chewy.
Roast
Use this function to roasting meat, chicken or vegetables. An initial searing stage crisps and browns the roast then the temperature drops to the level you have preset for the remainder of the cooking period.
Rotisserie
Rotisserie is a delicious way to cook meat and poultry. The slowly rotating food is basted continuously in its own juices, making it tender on the inside and well browned and full of flavour on the outside. See ‘Using the rotisserie’.
Self Clean
The Self Clean cycle takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ for details. Note: this is NOT a cooking function.

Note: If sliding shelf supports have been fitted to shelf position 1, these will need to be removed before using the rotisserie. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
1. Prepare the rotisserie supports.

2. Secure the meat.
IMPORTANT!
Take care, the forks are sharp!
When securing the meat, ensure that:
Note: the rotisserie can rotate up to 6 kg of meat.

3. Position the skewer on the supports.
Place the skewer on the supports, and check that the meat does not touch the grill tray.
Twist the handle off. It must not be left in the oven.

4. Place the rotisserie in the oven.

5. Select the Rotisserie function.

6. Set the temperature.
IMPORTANT! The timer does NOT turn the oven off.

1. Select the timer
by pressing the right scroll button once.
● The timer
indicator will appear and the colon will flash.

2. Press the select
button to confirm.
● The display will flash to indicate the timer is ready to be set.

buttons.

button to confirm.

4. Slide the second middle pane (B) slightly towards yourself (1), then lift (2) and slide out (3).
When replacing the glass panes, make sure that:

1. Take either one of the middle panes (B or C) and hold it firmly. Insert it in the lowest pair of grooves (1), push it slightly towards yourself (2) and gently lower into place (3). Note: the two middle panes (B and C) are identical.

2. Take the other middle pane and hold it firmly. Insert it in the next pair of grooves (1), push it slightly towards yourself (2) and gently lower into place (3).

3. Take the inner pane (D), holding it with the angle-cut corner orientated as shown. Insert it in the uppermost pair of grooves (1), push it slightly towards yourself (2) and gently lower into place (3).

5. Close the door, turn the power supply to the oven on at the wall, then check that the door is properly in place:
The oven light bulbs (12V/20 W halogen) have a very long life, but if you should need to replace one, use only a replacement bulb purchased from your nearest Fisher & Paykel dealer and follow these steps. Note: oven bulb replacement is not covered by your warranty.

1. Allow the oven to cool down, then turn it off at the mains power supply (wall switch).

2. Remove any oven shelves that may get in the way.

3. Using a flat-head screwdriver, twist and lift the retainer clip upwards to release the glass cover. Hold the glass cover to prevent it falling.

4. Carefully lift the glass cover out of the retaining bracket in the back and pull out the faulty bulb.

5. Hold the replacement bulb in a soft cloth or tissue (touching the bulb will reduce its life span) and insert it into the socket.

6. Reposition the glass cover and twist the retainer clip back in place.
Turn the oven back on at the mains power supply (wall switch).
