Frequently Asked Questions - AKZ96290WH WHIRLPOOL

How to turn on the oven for the first time?
During the first use, set the time by pressing the rotary knob. Then, heat the empty oven at 200 °C for about 1 hour (fan-forced mode) to eliminate manufacturing odors. Ventilate the room.
What to do if the oven does not turn on?
First check the power supply (power cut, unplugged). If the problem persists, turn the oven off and on again. If the display shows 'F' followed by a number, contact customer service.
How to use the cooking probe?
Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat (avoid bones). Plug it into the socket on the right side of the cavity. Select a compatible function (Conventional, Fan-Forced, etc.) and set the desired core temperature. Cooking stops automatically at the target temperature.
How to clean the oven using pyrolytic mode?
Remove all accessories and slides. Select the Pyro function in the special functions menu. Choose a full or Eco cycle. The door locks automatically during the cycle (temperature ~500 °C). Ventilate the room after use.
Can I open the door during cooking?
Yes, but it interrupts preheating and may extend cooking time. The oven will automatically compensate by extending the programmed duration. Avoid opening the door unnecessarily during ECO cycles to optimize consumption.
How to remove the oven door?
Open the door fully, lower the two locks to the unlocked position. Close the door partially, grasp it firmly (not by the handle) and lift it while closing until it comes free. To refit, align the hinges and lower the locks until they click.
How to change the oven bulb?
Unplug the oven. Unscrew the bulb cover and replace it with a G9 halogen bulb, 20-40 W, 230 V, T300 °C. Do not touch the bulb with bare hands (use a cloth). Screw the cover back on and plug in.
What to do if the door does not open?
If the door is locked, check that a pyrolytic cleaning cycle is not in progress (wait for it to finish and cool down). If the problem persists, turn the oven off and on. If the fault continues, contact customer service.
How to use the delayed start function?
After setting the cooking duration, the desired end time flashes. Turn the knob to change it, then confirm. The oven will automatically calculate the start time. Note that preheating is disabled in delayed start mode.
What accessories are supplied with this model?
The oven comes with a metal grid, a drip tray, and a baking tray. Depending on the version, telescopic slides and a cooking probe may be included. Additional accessories are available as options from customer service.

How to recognize the pyrolysis function icon on the WHIRLPOOL AKZ96290WH built-in oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 15/01/2026
Response Notice-Facile

On the WHIRLPOOL AKZ96290WH built-in oven, the pyrolysis icon is easily recognizable by its symbol of a stylized oven with flames or wavy lines inside, representing the intense heat used for automatic cleaning. This icon is usually accompanied by the text "Pyrolysis" on the oven's touch or rotary control panel.

The icon can be found in the special functions menu of the oven, accessible via the rotary knob and the display panel. To access the function, turn off the oven, then turn it back on. Use the rotary knob to navigate to the special functions section, then confirm by pressing the button. Next, select the icon or label "Pyrolysis" from the available options.

The pyrolysis function of the WHIRLPOOL AKZ96290WH offers two cleaning cycles: a full cycle (PYRO) that heats the oven to about 500 °C to completely eliminate cooking residues, and a short cycle (ECO) that is quicker for regular use. The full cycle is recommended only when the oven is heavily soiled, while the ECO cycle is sufficient for regular maintenance.

Before starting a pyrolysis cycle, remove all accessories from the oven, including the shelf guides. If the oven is installed under a cooktop, ensure that all burners or electric plates are turned off. For best results, first remove the most significant stains with a damp sponge. Once the cycle is started, the door locks automatically and can only be opened when the temperature has returned to an acceptable level. Ventilate the room during and after the cycle.

How does the pyrolysis function work on the WHIRLPOOL AKZ96290WH built-in oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 15/01/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The pyrolysis function of the WHIRLPOOL AKZ96290WH built-in oven is an automatic cleaning system that makes it easier to maintain your oven by eliminating cooking residues and ingrained grease.

How pyrolysis works

  • Intense heating: When you activate pyrolysis, the oven heats up to around 400 to 500 °C. This very high heat breaks down the dirt and grease accumulated inside.
  • Decomposition of residues: Under the effect of this heat, food residues are transformed into fine ash, making them easier to remove.
  • Cooling: After the cycle ends, the oven cools down gradually. It is important not to open the door during pyrolysis to avoid any risk of burns.
  • Final cleaning: Once the oven has cooled down, simply wipe it with a damp cloth to easily remove any remaining ash, without having to use chemicals or abrasives.

Usage tips

  • Remove any accessories that are not compatible with pyrolysis (such as certain racks or trays) before starting the cycle.
  • Ensure that the door is properly closed throughout the cleaning process.
  • Use the pyrolysis function regularly to keep your oven clean and efficient.

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 to the oven cavity, a buzzer sounds and the display shows icon and target temperature.

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.
