⚠️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 foll, 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. |
⚠️WARNING! | |
Cut Hazard Take care – some edges are sharp. Failure to use caution could result in Injury or cuts. |

- 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’s 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.
- Double oven models only:
- You can only Self Clean one oven at a time, and whilst in a Self Clean cycle, the other oven cannot be used.
- Before starting a Self Clean cycle, remove oven shelves, side racks, and all other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
- Before starting a Self Clean cycle, 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, 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’s 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.
COOKING GUIDE
Congratulations on your new purchase. Your Fisher & Paykel oven has a number of features to make cooking a great experience for you:
- a wide choice of oven functions
- a convenient Self-Clean function – see ‘Using the Self Clean function’
- intuitive controls and displays
- illuminated halos around the dials for visual feedback
Before you start
- Make sure the installer has completed the ‘Final checklist’ in the Installation instructions.
- Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section.
- Remove all packaging and dispose of it responsibly. Make sure all cable ties used to
- secure the shelves during shipping have been removed. Recycle items that you can.
- Check that you have all the accessories listed in the separate ‘Quick start guide’.
- Make sure you follow the instructions under ‘Setting the clock and first use’ in the separate ‘Quick start guide’ before using your oven.
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 broil element may come on for a short time while the oven is heating up. The halo will turn from red to white when the preset temperature is reached.
- Do not open the door until at least 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) you may need to increase the time.
- 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.
- Always leave a space between shelves when multi-shelf cooking to allow the air to circulate.
Shelf Position Guide
Place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the center of the oven cavity
ROASTING
- Your oven has a dedicated Roast function (some models only). This is designed to brown the outside of the meat but still keep the inside moist and juicy.
- Use the meat probe for perfect results. See ‘Using the Meat Probe’.
- 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 / 75°C.
- If using a roasting bag, do not use the Roast function. The initial searing stage is too hot for roasting bags. Use Aero Bake or True Aero 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 Aero Bake function instead and increase the temperature by 70°F / 20°C.
- 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.
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 broiling.
- 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 marinate 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.
- The three-piece broil/roast system (some models only) provided with your oven (consisting of the pan, grid and rack) has been designed to reduce splatter and smoke, and is therefore ideal for broiling and roasting. We suggest you place meat on the broil/ roast rack (on top of the pan and grid) to allow hot air to circulate around it. This gives more even browning and a result similar to a rotisserie.
- On occasions, you may want to use only two pieces of the system. For example, when roasting a large turkey, use only the pan and grid for greater stability.
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.
REHEATING
- Use Bake or Aero Bake to reheat food.
- Bake function is 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.
OVEN FUNCTIONS
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.
fan plus upper outer and lower elements
- The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower elements and distributes it around the oven cavity.
- Food cooked tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the traditional Bake function.
- You may need to decrease the time from that recommended in traditional recipes.
- Use Aero Bake at a low temperature: 120°F / 50°C for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Ideal for single shelf baking that takes less than an hour to cook – foods such as muffins, English scones and cupcakes or things like enchiladas.
fan and rear element
- By using the central rear heating element and fan, hot air is blown into the cavity, providing a consistent temperature at all levels, making it perfect for multi-shelf cooking.
- Trays of cookies cooked on different shelves are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle.
- Meat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.
- Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and efficient.
- When multi-shelf cooking it is important to leave a gap between trays (eg use shelves 3 & 5) to allow the air to move freely. This enables the browning of foods on the lower tray.
- If converting a recipe from Bake to True Aero, we recommend that you decrease the bake time or decrease the temperature (eg Bake at 350°F / 175°C = True Aero 320°F / 160°C).
- For items with longer bake times (eg over an hour) it may be necessary to decrease both time and temperature.
Ideal for multi-shelf cooking, cookies, English scones, muffins and cupcakes.
upper Inner element
- Intense radiant heat is delivered from the inner top element. There are 9 steps between ‘Lo’ and ‘Hi’ (100% power).
- Preheating is not essential although some people prefer to allow the element to heat for a few minutes before they place food under the broil element.
- The temperature halo will remain red while using the broil function.
- The most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top of potato gratin and frittata.
Ideal for toasting bread or for top browning to ‘finish off dishes’.

- The most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top of potato gratin and frittata.
Ideal for toasting bread or for top browning to ‘finish off dishes’.
fan plus upper inner and outer elements
- This function uses the intense heat from the elements for top browning and the fan to ensure even cooking of foods.
- Meat, poultry and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside while the inside remains moist and tender.
Ideal for whole chicken, tenderloin of beef or broiling your favorite chicken, fish or steak.
fan plus lower element
- The fan circulates heat from the lower element throughout the oven.
- Excellent for cooking pizza as it crisps the base beautifully without overcooking the topping.
Ideal for foods such as sweet and savory pastry foods and delicate foods that require some top browning eg frittata, quiche.
fan plus upper and lower elements
- A two-step program. An initial 20 minute searing stage crisps and browns the roast and caramelises the outside of the meat, then the temperature drops to the level you have preset for the remainder of the cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast that is full of flavour.
- Oven does not require preheating.
- If desired, use the broil rack, grid or place vegetables under the roast to allow the juices
to drain away from your meat. This will allow the hot air to circulate under the meat as well.
Ideal for Roasting meat, chicken and vegetables.
lower element only
- Heat comes from the lower element only, the fan is not used.
- This is the traditional baking function, suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens.
- Bake on only one shelf at a time.
- The oven will be hotter at the top.
Ideal for foods that require delicate baking and have a pastry base, like custard tarts, pies, quiches and cheesecake or anything that does not require direct heat and browning on the top.
this is not a cooking function
- Provides a constant low heat of less than 195°F / 90°C.
- Use to keep cooked food hot, or to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold, use another oven function to heat the food piping hot and only then change to Warm, as this function alone will not bring cold food up to a high enough temperature to kill any harmful bacteria.
- Use the Warm function to proof bread. See below ‘Tips for proofing bread’.
this is not a cooking function
- The Self Clean cycle takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning.
- There are two Self-Clean cycles available:
• Self clean (which takes 5 hours) for normal cleaning and
• Light self-clean (which takes 4 hours) for lightly soiled ovens. - See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ in the User guide for details.
Tips for dehydrating fruit
- To obtain high quality dried fruit, select only unblemished, ripe fruit.
- Wash fruit thoroughly and pat dry. Peel if desired. Fruit that is not peeled will take longer to dry. Remove pits, stems or seeds if necessary. Place fruit on a baking tray on a shelf in the oven.
- We recommend using True Aero or Aero Bake at 120°F / 50°C.
Tips for proofing bread
- Your wall oven creates the ideal warm, draught free environment for proofing yeast doughs
- Position a shelf on position 1
- Select Warm function
- Adjust the temperature until the display shows ‘Lo’ & allow to heat
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a clean, damp cloth to prevent dough drying
- Place bowl in warmed oven. Proof time using this method will be shorter than at room temperature To prevent over proofing it is recommended to check dough at 30min intervals until fully proofed
- It is advisable to carry out the final shaped proof (e.g. in loaf tin) on your kitchen countertop while you preheat your oven to the desired baking temperature
Note: some recipes recommend putting water or ice in the oven with the bread dough during baking. The additional moisture improves the bread crust. You must place the water or ice in a heat resistant dish and on an oven shelf in positions 1 or 2. Do not put it directly onto the oven floor. Placing water, ice or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor will irreversibly damage the enamel.
COOKING CHARTS
The recommendations in the following charts are guidelines. A lot of factors affect the exact time and temperature required for baking, roasting and broiling. Follow the instructions in your recipe or on packaging and be prepared to adjust the oven settings and cook times to achieve the best possible results for you.
Note: The broil element may come on for a short time while the oven is heating up.
This chart will help you to match your cooking requirements to the most appropriate cooking function.

cooking function.
Note: • Recommended method ° Alternative method
* Some models only
** If your model does not have the Roast function, we recommend Bake for large meat joints or Maxi Broil for small meat joints.
Roasting meat
We recommend you use the meat probe to accurately judge when meat is cooked to your preference. ’Time per lb/450g’ is a rough guide and should only be used to estimate when the meat will be ready. Cooking with ROAST, TRUE AERO, AERO BAKE, and AERO BROIL will take less time than with BAKE.
* Note: If your model does not have the Roast function, we recommend using Aero Broil for whole chickens and small meat joints and Bake for large meat joints.
** Some models only (may be purchased separately).
*Brown in an oiled skillet or frying pan on high heat prior to roasting. The internal temperature of venison rises more on standing due to the high cooking temperature, therefore the suggested probe settings are lower than other rare or medium rare meats.
** Some models only
AUTOMATIC COOKING
- You can set the oven(s) to automatically turn on later, cook for a preset time (cooking time), then automatically turn off at a preset stop time. See the example and instructions below (steps 1 to 7).
- If you start cooking manually and only want the oven to turn off automatically after a set cooking time: simply set the cooking time following steps 1 to 3 below and selecting a function and temperature. The oven will automatically turn off when the cooking time is over.
- Alternatively you can simply set the time of day you wish to the oven to turn off. Follow steps 4 and 5. The oven will automatically turn off when the stop time is reached.
- You may have the timer on at the same time as automatic cooking.

USING THE MEAT PROBE
The meat probe is supplied with some models only. For other models it may be purchased separately. For further information or to purchase a meat probe, contact Customer Care, your authorized service centre or visit our website www.fisherpaykel.com.
Using the meat probe
Use your meat probe to accurately judge when your meat is perfectly cooked. You can use the probe with any function. Double oven models only: you can use the meat probe in either oven. Press the UPPER or LOWER selector button to select the oven you wish to use and then follow the steps below.
- Select the oven function and temperature. Preheat the oven if appropriate. Remember Roast and Aero Broil do not require preheating.
- Insert the metal probe horizontally into the center of 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 its thickest point. Make sure the probe does not touch bone, fat or gristle, as these will heat up more quickly than the lean meat.
- Place the meat in the roasting (or other suitable uncovered) dish.
- When the oven has preheated (if required) to the set temperature, place the dish in the oven and insert the plug end of the meat 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, between shelf positions 4 and 5. Make sure the probe is pushed completely into the socket, then close the oven door.
Tips for using the meat probe
- You can still use the timer when the meat probe is in use.
- You cannot use the meat probe with Automatic cooking.
- The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by 35-45°F / 2-8°C after you have removed it from the oven, so allow for this in your calculations. Cover with foil and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
- If you wish to remove the meat from the oven (eg basting), unplug the meat probe from the socket but do not remove it from the meat. The display will show — . When you are ready to resume cooking, re-insert the probe plug into the socket and the display will will alternate between the preset and current internal temperature of the meat.
IMPORTANT!
- Use only the meat probe supplied with your oven, purchased from your Fisher & Paykel dealer or replaced under warranty by your nearest Fisher & Paykel Authorized Repairer.
- Hold the meat probe at the handle when Inserting and removing it from food and the meat probe socket.
- Remember to remove the meat probe from the oven before you start a self-clean cycle.
- Do not store the probe in the oven.
- Only use the probe with fully defrosted food.
- Wash the meat probe In mild soapy water but do not Immerse. It Is NOT dishwasher safe.

CARE AND CLEANING
Removing and replacing the oven door
IMPORTANT!
- Do not lift the oven door by Its handle. Doing so may damage the door.
- Make sure the oven and the door are cool before you begin to remove the door.
- Before removing the door, make sure there is a large enough clear, protected surface in the kitchen to rest the door on.
- Take care, the oven door is heavy!
To remove the oven door
- Open the door fully.
- Open the hinge locks fully on both sides.
- Holding the door firmly on both sides, gently close it about halfway.
- Disengage the hinges and remove the door. Place on a protected surface.
To replace the oven door
- Hold the door firmly in an approximately halfway open position.
- Align the hinge tongue with the hinge slots and push the door until you feel the latches locate into position on each side.
- Open the door completely and check that the hinges are both secured by the correct notches as shown.
- Rotate the locks into the closed position.6 Close the oven door.
IMPORTANT!
Hinge locks should rest inside the slots. Incorrect installation will prevent door from correctly sealing.
Removing and replacing the sliding shelves and side racks
- To remove a sliding shelf, grip it by its two front corners (making sure you are gripping the wire shelf and the sliding frame together), tilt upwards and pull it out of the oven.
- To remove the side racks, gently push the retaining wire from underneath the lock stud, then swing the lowest edge of the side rack up and out towards the center of the oven until the rack is almost horizontal. The prongs at the top will slide out of the mounting slots.
- To replace the side racks, hold them almost horizontally and locate the prongs into the small mounting slots at the top of the oven cavity. While you are doing this, support the rack with your hand from underneath, to ensure that both prongs perfectly locate into the mounting slots.
- Lower the side racks carefully and gently place the retaining wire underneath the lock stud.
IMPORTANT!
Do not lower the side racks until the prongs are fully inserted into the slots so that you do not chip the enamel.
Changing the oven light bulbs
The oven is illuminated by three 12 volt/20 watt halogen bulbs. These 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:
- Allow the oven to cool and then turn it off at the wall.
- Take out the shelves and side racks (see ‘Removing and replacing the sliding shelves and side racks’) and use a small flat-head screwdriver to twist and lift the retainer clip at the top of the glass light cover while holding the glass to prevent it falling. The clip pivots counter-clockwise (see the diagram).
- Carefully lift the glass cover out of the lower support and pull out the faulty bulb.
- Holding the replacement bulb in a soft cloth or tissue (touching the bulb will reduce its life span), insert the new bulb.
- Reposition the glass cover and twist the top clip back in place. The procedure is the same for the light in the roof of the oven cavity.
Note: oven bulb replacement is not covered by your warranty.

USING THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION
- During the pyrolytic Self Clean cycle the extremely high temperature burns off and breaks down grime and grease deposits. All that is left is a small amount of gray ash that you can easily remove.
- There is a choice of Self Clean cycles:
● Self Clean (5 hours) (for normal soiling).
● Light Self Clean (4 hours) (suitable for a light or localised soiling).
Double oven models only:
- Only one oven can be self-cleaned at a time.
- During the Self clean cycle you cannot use the other oven or set Automatic cooking.
IMPORTANT!
- You must clean the inside glass door panel BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle. Failure to do this may result in permanent staining or marking of the door glass.
- Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.
- Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves and trays and all other bakeware and utensils from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle. If left in the oven, they will become permanently discolored or damaged; items made from combustible materials (eg wood, fabric, plastic) may even catch fire.
- Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.
- Make sure the room is well ventilated.
- Before starting a Self Clean cycle, 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, 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.
- The oven door will be locked during the Self Clean cycle (approximately 5 hours).
- If there are cracks or flaws on any of the oven door glass panes, if the oven seal is damaged or worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a Self Clean cycle. Call your Authorized Repairer or Customer Care.
To start a Self Clean cycle
- Remove oven shelves, side racks and all other accessories, bakeware, and utensils.
- Wipe up any spills. Failure to do so may discolor the oven surfaces.
- Check the inner glass pane of the oven door. If it has soiling on it (eg stains from greasy splatter), you will need to clean it manually before starting a Self Clean cycle. For instructions, see ‘Care and cleaning’.
IMPORTANT!
If soiling is left on the glass, it will become burnt on during the Self Clean cycle, making it very difficult to remove. - Close the oven door firmly.
Double oven models only:
Select either the UPPER or LOWER oven.
