The AMFTZ60SS is a built-in electric multifunction twin zone oven designed for domestic use, offering versatility and control for various cooking needs.
Function Description
This oven features a unique twin zone capability, allowing the oven cavity to be divided into two separate cooking zones using a removable oven cavity divider. This enables independent cooking in the upper and lower zones simultaneously, or the use of a single, larger zone when the divider is removed. The oven supports various cooking functions including True Fan, Top Heat + Convectional, Large Grill, Small Grill, Bottom Heat + Convectional, Conventional, and Defrosting. The electronic programmer allows for precise control over temperature, cooking time, and delayed start cooking. A kitchen timer function is also available.

Maintenance Features
First Use Cleaning: Before first use, operate the oven at 200°C on the convection setting for 1 hour to burn off manufacturing residues. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated during this period.
General Cleaning:
- Enamelled and Stainless Steel Parts: Wipe with a damp cloth using minimal soap and lukewarm water. Avoid abrasive powders or corrosive substances. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Inside of the Oven: Clean when still warm with hot water and soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive detergents, sponges, or acids. For tough grease, use a specialist oven cleaner according to instructions.
- Glass Door: Clean with non-abrasive products or sponges and dry with a soft cloth.
- Rubber Seal: Check regularly for condition, clean if necessary, and avoid abrasive products. Contact customer service if damaged.
- Condensation: If condensation forms during extended use, remove it with a dry cloth after the oven cools.
Removing Oven Doors (for thorough cleaning):
