[. . . ] Congratulations on choosing an Ariston appliance, which you will find is dependable and easy to use. We recommend that you read the instructions in this owner’s manual carefully before use for the best performance and to extend the life of your appliance, as it will provide you with all the instructions you require to ensure its safe installation, use and maintenance. Always keep this owner’s manual close to hand since you may need to refer to it in the future. Control Panel Cooking mode selection knob Cooking temperature selection knob Timer knob (only available on certain models) Oven indicator light (only available on certain models) - When lit, it indicates the ovens is heating up to the temperature set. [. . . ] This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%). When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Therefore the best results when using the grill modes are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom. Baking Cakes When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red light “E” will turn off). Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping. In general: Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time. Pastry is too dark on top Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. The pastry sticks to the pan Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper. I used more than one level (in the function "ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same cooking point Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time. € • • Using the Grill This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling modes only and exclusively with the oven door shut. Use the “grill” mode d, placing the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack form the bottom) because only the central part of the top heating element is turned on. Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing the dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and/or grease and prevent the same from dripping onto the oven bottom. When using this mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Setting e, “fan assisted grill”, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part. Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes, for example. 7 Cooking Pizza For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan assisted “ b mode: • Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes; • Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust; • Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking; • If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process. [. . . ] Denne funktion er specielt egnet til retter, der kræver gratinering eller har behov for meget lang tilberedningstid, for eksempel: lasagne, pastaretter i ovn, kylling og ovnbagte kartofler etc… Man får optimale forhold, hvis man tilbereder stege, fordi den forbedrede fordeling af temperaturen medfører mulighed for indstilling af lavere temperaturer, der reducerer tabet af kødsaften, således at kødet vil være mere mørt og have større slutvægt. Minuttæller (kun på nogle modeller) Ved brug af minuttælleren skal man “trække lydapparatet op” ved at dreje knappen “D” næsten en hel omgang med uret 4; og derefter vende tilbage 5, for at indstille den ønskede tid, som udføres ved at stille frontstykkets faste reference ud for det ønskede antal minutter. Hvis man for eksempel antager, at der indstilles en tilberedning på 30 minutter, vises følgende: og tryk derefter på tasten for manuel funktion (. Tryk på tasten % og derefter på tasterne ) og * indtil det ønskede klokkeslæt for afslutningen af tilberedningen er indstillet, for eksempel 13, 00 sekunder med symbolet m og teksten auto + Når tiden udløber udsendes der et lydsignal, der kan slukkes ved at trykke på en hvilken som helst af tasterne (undtagen tasterne * og )) og symbolet H slukkes.
