[. . . ] Always keep this owner’s manual close to hand since you may need to refer to it in the future. 5 When you have removed the packing, check that the appliance is not damaged. If you have any doubts, do not use the appliance and contact your nearest Ariston Service Centre. Never leave the packing components (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc. [. . . ] Important: Since the top burners are equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 3 seconds to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple is heated. The 7 Cuochi oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of the more modern fan assisted models in a single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose easily and safely between 7 different cooking modes. The various features offered by the oven are selected by means of selector knob “L” and thermostat “M” situated on the control panel. Cooling ventilation (only in certain models) In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on automatically when the oven is hot. When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel. Note:When cooking is done, the fan stays on until the oven cools down sufficiently. Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed. Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when using the rotisserie (only available on certain models). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking” mode are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Practical Cooking Advice”. multi-cooking Mode b Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 60°C and Max. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This Multi-cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance. Desserts: the Multi-cooking mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes. Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C. [. . . ] Pastry dropped Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C. 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 29 Pastry is too dark on top Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. 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. [. . . ]
