Introduction Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel Aerotech® 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. For further information, go to www.fisherpaykel.
Safety and warnings This symbol alerts you to hazards such as fire, electrical shock, or other potential injuries. It also warns you of things that may cause damage to your oven. WARNING! Hot Surface Hazard Accessible parts will become hot when in use. Children should be kept away and care should be taken. Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the container to burst and result in injury. Always keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Placement of oven racks: always position oven racks (shelves) in the desired location while oven is cool.
Location of features The diagram below shows you what features your oven has and where they are located (double oven model shown).
Setting the clock As your oven is connected to a power supply for the first time, a tone will sound and the clock display will light up. The clock display will show ‘0:00’ and the colon ( : ) will flash. Next, set the clock. Clock must be set before oven can be operated To set the clock The oven clock has a default 24 hour display. ‘0:00’ will be shown when the oven has been turned on at the wall and the colon will flash.
Oven displays Oven mode dial & display Turn clockwise to select your desired oven mode. When the mode is set, the lights and cooling fan will come on. Temperature dial & display Turn clockwise to select the oven temperature you want to cook at. The default setting for the temperature display is degrees Fahreheit. Refer to the ‘USER SELECT options’ for instructions on how to change the temperature display settings.
Oven modes Your Fisher & Paykel AeroTech® oven has nine cooking modes plus WARM and SELF CLEAN. These modes use different combinations of elements and the convection fan to give you maximum flexibility when cooking. TRUEAERO: convection fan plus fan element TRUEAERO is a very flexible method of cooking. A concealed heating element surrounding the fan in the rear of the oven heats air, which is then blown into the cavity.
WARM WARM is a constant low heat of 165 °F (75 °C). It is excellent for keeping cooked food hot and warming plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold, use TRUEAERO and change to WARM only when the food is piping hot, as this mode will not bring cold food up to a temperature high enough to kill any harmful bacteria. ROAST ROAST is a two-step program that has been developed to help you cook delicious roasts effortlessly.
SELF CLEAN This oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle that takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. During self-clean cycles the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking and this burns off and breaks down soil and grease deposits. A smoke eliminator and active venting system eradicates odor. The ash residue that remains can simply be removed from the cool oven with a damp cloth or sponge.
Shelf positions Optilevel™ The Optilevel™ shelving system allows you to choose the optimum cooking level within the oven. Placing the shelves on or between the shelf support runners provides 13 cooking positions to choose from. Organize the shelves prior to heating the oven. Generally, the shelf positions located in the top of the oven are suitable for broiling. Shelves in the middle and lower region of the oven are suitable for baking, roasting and casseroles.
Accessories Three-piece broil/roast system The three-piece broil/roast system (made up of the pan, grid and rack) is designed to prevent hot fat and juices in the broil pan splattering throughout the oven. All pieces can be used together as one complete unit, or in different combinations. Glass tray (not supplied with all models) This is made of extremely tough glass and is perfect oven-to-tableware. The glass tray is great for all broiling and baking modes. Wash in hot soapy water or the dishwasher.
Using the oven controls In double ovens controls on the left are for the upper oven and controls on the right are for the lower oven. Pushing the oven cavity selector button lets you toggle between the oven cavities, for example if you are setting automatic programs.
Automatic cooking Automatic time cooking Automatic time (delayed start) cooking will turn the oven on and off at times you have set. To set automatic time cooking: 1 Check that the clock shows the correct time. 2 In double ovens, choose the upper or lower oven. This is important. 3 Select the oven mode and temperature. 4 Decide how long the food will take to cook, allowing time for preheating if necessary. 5 Press the COOK TIME PUSH TO CLEAR button to select this length of time.
During cooking, AUTO, COOK TIME and the remaining cook time will show in the clock display. The oven mode and temperature displays will be bright, and the oven light will be on. When the cook time is finished, the oven will beep and turn off. The oven and temperature displays will dim, and the oven light will go off. COOK TIME and AUTO will flash in the clock display. Turn the oven mode and temperature to OFF.
Oven operation d Cooking probe Use your cooking probe to accurately judge when your meat is perfectly cooked. The probe can be used on TRUEAERO, AEROBAKE, ROAST, AEROBROIL and BAKE modes. 1 a b c Using the cooking probe Select the oven mode and temperature and preheat the oven if appropriate. ROAST does not require preheating. c 2 Insert as much of the metal cooking probe a Metal probe c Handle as possible horizontally into the thickest part b Plug d Cable of the fully defrosted meat.
The cooking probe can be used with automatic cooking functions. If the probe reaches the set temperature before the stop time is reached the probe will turn the oven off. The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise by 5-15 °F (2-8 °C) after you have removed it from the oven so allow for this in your calculations. Important! Use only the cooking probe supplied with your AeroTech® oven.
Selecting the cooking time for your roast depends on your personal preference. Meat taken straight from the refrigerator will take longer to cook. Poultry should always be well cooked with the juices running clear. Roasting is a method of cooking meat that uses dry heat. Don’t add water to your roast as this has a steaming effect. Vegetables are excellent cooked on ROAST. Clean and cut them into large chunks, coat lightly with oil, season and place in a single layer on the greased glass tray.
Tips for successful broiling Position the oven shelves before you turn the oven on. To make cleaning the broil/roast system easier, spray the rack, grid and inside of the pan with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray before use. For best results allow the broil element to warm up for a minute or two before putting food in the oven. Use the timer to time the broiling process if desired. Keep the oven door closed. We recommend using the three-piece broil/roast system provided with your AeroTech® oven.
Dehydrating, and proofing bread Tips for dehydrating To obtain a high quality dried product, select only unblemished, mature fruit. Wash fruit thoroughly and pat dry. Peel if desired. Unpeeled fruit will take longer to dry. Remove stones, stems or pips if necessary. Place fruit on a baking tray on a shelf in the oven. We recommend using TRUEAERO or AEROBAKE at 125 °F (50 °C). Tips for proofing bread Your AeroTech® oven provides an ideal sealed environment to proof bread.
USER SELECT options USER SELECT mode USER SELECT mode allows you to configure some of the settings displayed on your AeroTech® oven control panel. 1 How to enter USER SELECT mode Be sure that the oven mode and temperature dials are off, that no automatic/delayed start programs are operating and that the clock is displaying the correct time of day. 2 Press the then the button and hold down together until the oven ‘beeps’ (about two seconds). The oven mode display will show .
Tips for using Sabbath mode In double oven models, different temperatures can be selected for upper and lower ovens by using their temperature dials. The oven mode dial for the lower oven must be turned to a function to activate the lower oven. The oven can be turned off at any time during Sabbath mode by turning the oven mode and temperature dials to OFF, but the oven will not revert to regular operation until the set time has elapsed.
How to change from 24 hour to 12 hour time display 1 Enter the USER SELECT mode and turn the oven mode dial clockwise until 2 Press PUSH TO CLEAR appears in the display. to select either ‘24H’ or ‘12H’ in the clock Oven mode display display. 3 Press the button to activate.
