Frequently Asked Questions - AKZ 97891 IX AUS WHIRLPOOL

How do I install the Whirlpool AKZ 97891 IX AUS oven?

Installation must be performed by a qualified technician. Ensure the power supply is 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz and the oven is placed in a well-ventilated built-in cavity. Refer to the manual for exact dimensions and electrical requirements.

What do the different oven functions mean?

Common functions include: Conventional (top/bottom heat), Convection (fan with heat), Grill (top heat), Defrost (fan only), Pyrolytic cleaning (high temperature burn-off). Refer to your model's specific function list.

How do I use the pyrolytic self-cleaning function?

Remove all accessories and large debris. Select the pyrolisis function, set a duration (usually 2-3 hours) and lock the door. The oven will heat to ~500°C to burn off residues. After cooling, wipe the ash with a damp cloth.

Why is my oven not heating up?

Check the power supply: ensure the circuit breaker is on and the oven is properly connected. The timer or child lock may be activated. If the problem persists, contact a service technician.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Do not line the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil as it can damage the enamel and affect heat distribution. You may use foil on baking trays but avoid contact with the oven walls.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the oven from power. Remove the glass cover (usually a quarter turn) and replace the bulb with a new 300°C-resistant appliance bulb (e.g., G9 or E14 depending on model). Reattach the cover and restore power.

What does the 'Child Lock' feature do and how to activate it?

The child lock prevents accidental operation. Activate it by pressing and holding the lock button (if available) or a combination of buttons as described in the manual. Once activated, all controls are disabled until deactivated.

How often should I clean the oven?

For regular cleaning, wipe spills after each use. Pyrolytic cleaning should be performed every few months or when residue builds up. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the enamel.

What is the maximum oven temperature?

The maximum temperature depends on the function. Typically, conventional mode reaches up to 250°C, while pyrolytic cleaning reaches ~500°C. Always set the temperature according to the recipe.

The oven door seems loose. How can I fix it?

Check the hinges for not being fully seated or for damage. Do not attempt to disassemble the door yourself. Contact an authorized service center for hinge adjustment or replacement.

USING THE MEAT PROBE (IF PRESENT)

The meat probe supplied allows to measure the exact internal temperature of food during cooking. The meat probe is allowed only in some cooking functions (Conventional, Forced Air, Convention Bake, Turbo Grill, 6th Sense Meat and 6th Sense Maxicooking).

It is very important to position the probe accurately in order to obtain perfect cooking results. Insert the probe fully into the fleshiest part of the meat, avoiding bones and fatty parts.

For poultry, the probe should be inserted sideways, in the middle of the breast, taking care to ensure the tip does not end up in a hollow part. In the case of meat with very irregular thickness, check it is

cooked properly before removing it from the oven. Connect the end of the probe in the hole located on the right wall of the oven cavity. When the meat

probe is plugged into the oven cavity, a buzzer sounds and the display shows the icon and target temperature. If the meat probe is plugged during the selection of a function, the display switches to the default meat probe

target temperature.

Press Ⓐ to start settings. Turn the knob to set the meat probe target temperature. Press Ⓐ to confirm. Turn the knob to set oven cavity temperature.

Press 📄 or to confirm and start the cooking cycle.

During the cooking cycle, the display shows the meat probe target temperature. When the meat reaches the target temperature set, the cooking cycle stops and the display shows "End".

To restart the cooking cycle from "End", by turning the knob it is possible to adjust the meat probe target temperature as indicated above. Press ⚙ or ▶ to confirm and restart the cooking cycle.

Please note: during the cooking cycle with the meat probe, it is possible to turn the knob to change the meat probe target temperature. Press to adjust the oven cavity temperature. The meat probe can be inserted at any time, also during a cooking cycle. In this case, it is necessary to re-set the cooking function parameters.

If the meat probe is incompatible with a function, the oven switches off the cooking cycle and plays an alert buzzer sound. In this case, disconnect the meat probe or press to set another function. Start delayed and preheat phases are not compatible with the meat probe.

KEY LOCK

To lock the keypad, press and hold ◀ for at least 5 seconds.

Do this again to unlock the keypad.

Please note: The key lock can also be activated while cooking is in progress.

For safety reasons, the oven can be switched off at any time by pressing .

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.

COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME

Using the "Forced Air" function, you can cook different foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.

MEAT

Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the size of the piece of meat being cooked. For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to the bottom of the dish, basting the meat during cooking for added flavour. Please note that steam will be generated during this operation. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium foil.

When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick pieces of meat require longer cooking times. To prevent the meat from burning on the outside, lower the position of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther away from the grill. Turn the meat two thirds of the way through cooking. Take care when opening the door as steam will escape.

To collect the cooking juices, we recommend placing a dripping pan filled with half a litre of drinking water directly underneath the wire shelf on which the food is placed. Top-up when necessary.

DESSERTS

Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only.

Use dark-coloured metal baking pans and always place them on the wire shelf supplied. To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and stagger the position of the cake tins on the shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the hot air.

To check whether a leavened cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.

If using non-stick baking pans, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.

If the item "swells" during baking, use a lower temperature next time and consider reducing the amount of liquid you add or stirring the mixture more gently.

For desserts with moist fillings or toppings (such as cheesecake or fruit tarts), use the "Convection bake" function. If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the filling.

PIZZA

Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Scatter the mozzarella over the pizza two thirds of the way through cooking.

RISING

It is always best to cover the dough with a damp cloth before placing it in the oven. Dough proving time with this function is reduced by approximately one third compared to proving at room temperature (20-25°C). The rising time for pizza starts at around one hour for 1 kg of dough.

CLEANING THE CATALYTIC PANELS

(ONLY IN SOME MODELS)

This oven is equipped with special catalytic panels that facilitate cleaning of the cooking compartment thanks to their special self-cleaning coating, which is highly porous and able to absorb grease and grime. These panels are fitted to the shelf guides: When repositioning and then refitting the shelf guides, make sure that the hooks at the top are slotted into the appropriate holes in the panels.

To make best use of the catalytic panels' self-cleaning properties, we recommend heating the oven to 200 °C for around one hour using the "Convection Bake" function. The oven must be empty during this time. Then leave the appliance to cool down before removing any remaining food residues using a non-abrasive sponge.

Please note: Using corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, stiff brushes, pan scourers or oven sprays could damage the catalytic surface and compromise its self-cleaning properties.
