Fisher & Paykel OB60SL9DEX1 - User Manual

Automatic cooking
• You can set the oven 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.
• You cannot use a meat probe when using automatic cooking.
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after
cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food
poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.
Example: It is 11:05 a.m. You want your food to cook for 1 hour, and you would like it to be ready by lunchtime (12:30
p.m.)

This document describes the automatic cooking features of a Fisher & Paykel oven, focusing on how to set up timed cooking operations.

Automatic Cooking Functionality

The oven offers a versatile automatic cooking feature that allows users to schedule cooking operations with precision. This includes the ability to set a delayed start, a specific cooking duration, and an automatic stop time. This functionality is particularly useful for meal planning, ensuring food is ready at a desired time without constant supervision.

Setting Up Automatic Cooking:

1. Check Current Time: Before initiating any automatic cooking sequence, it's crucial to verify that the oven's clock displays the correct time of day. This ensures the accuracy of all subsequent timed settings.

2. Set Cooking Time (Duration):

   • To define the cooking duration, the user needs to press the right scroll button twice. This action activates the "cooking time" indicator on the display.
   • Once the indicator is active, pressing the select button confirms this choice, and the display will flash, prompting the user to input the desired cooking duration.
   • The user then uses the scroll buttons to adjust the cooking time to the required duration.
   • After setting the duration, pressing the select button again confirms the cooking time. The display will then show the set cooking time, and the "preheat" indicator will illuminate, signifying that the oven will preheat before the cooking time begins.

3. Set Stop Time:

   • To specify when the oven should stop cooking, the user presses the right scroll button until the "stop time" indicator is active.
   • Pressing the select button confirms this selection, and the display will flash, indicating readiness for stop time input.
   • The user then uses the scroll buttons to adjust the stop time to the desired completion time for the food.
   • Pressing the select button once more confirms the stop time. The display will then show the set stop time, and the "function" indicator will illuminate, indicating that a cooking function needs to be selected.

4. Select Function and Temperature:

   • After setting the cooking and stop times, the user must select a cooking function (e.g., Bake) by rotating the function dial. The function halo will flash, indicating that a function has been chosen but not yet confirmed.
   • Next, the user adjusts the temperature using the temperature dial to the desired setting for the chosen function.
   • Once both the function and temperature are set, the function halo will stop flashing, signifying that the automatic cooking program is fully configured.

Alternative Automatic Cooking Scenarios:

• Automatic Turn-Off After Manual Start: If cooking is started manually, but the user wishes for the oven to turn off automatically after a specific duration, they can simply set the cooking time (steps 1-3 above) and select a function and temperature. The oven will then automatically switch off once the set cooking time elapses.
• Automatic Turn-Off at a Specific Time: For users who only want the oven to turn off at a particular time of day, without setting a specific cooking duration, they can follow steps 4 and 5 (setting the stop time). The oven will then automatically turn off when the specified stop time is reached.

Simultaneous Timer Use: The oven allows the use of the timer concurrently with automatic cooking, providing additional flexibility for managing cooking tasks.

Restrictions: It is important to note that the meat probe cannot be used in conjunction with automatic cooking functions.

Usage Features

When Automatic Cooking is Set: Once automatic cooking is fully configured, the oven and its lights will remain off, and the halos around the dials will be unlit. However, the oven is now programmed and will automatically turn on at the calculated start time. After a few seconds, the display will revert to showing the current time of day, with the cooking time and stop time indicators lit, confirming that the automatic program is active.

Modifying Settings During Waiting Period: While the oven is waiting to start the automatic cooking cycle, users have the flexibility to modify both the selected function and temperature settings. This allows for adjustments if plans change before the cooking process begins.

When the Stop Time is Reached: Upon reaching the programmed stop time, the oven will automatically turn off, and a long tone will sound to alert the user that the cooking cycle is complete.

Checking Set Cooking Time and Stop Time: To review the currently set cooking time and stop time, users can simply use the scroll buttons.

Changing Cooking or Stop Time: If there's a need to alter the cooking time or stop time after they've been set, the user can:

1. Use the right scroll button to navigate to either the cooking time or the stop time display.
2. Press the select button to choose the desired setting to change.
3. Use the scroll buttons to adjust the time.
4. Press the select button again to confirm the new setting.

Viewing Current Time of Day: To quickly check the current time of day, the user can press the cancel button.

Canceling Automatic Cooking: To cancel an active automatic cooking program, the user simply needs to turn the function dial to the "Off" position.

Maintenance Features

Safe Food Handling: The manual emphasizes the importance of safe food handling practices, particularly when using automatic cooking features. It advises leaving food in the oven for the shortest possible time both before and after cooking or defrosting. This precaution is crucial to prevent contamination by organisms that could cause food poisoning, especially in warmer weather conditions. This highlights a user responsibility aspect that contributes to the overall "maintenance" of food safety.
