¡”position when

First use

The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting (250°C) and
leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it.
Then let the room air. 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.

The different cooking modes available

ARISTON ovens are equipped with controls and
indicator lights to ease operation, all situated on the
control panel.

THE COOKING MODE SELECTOR

It comprises 10 marks represented in order by the following
pictograms:
«0» : stop

: oven light
: "Traditional"

This is the oldest cooking mode suitable for cooking
individual dishes. Two heating elements (one at the top of
the oven and the other at the bottom) work together.
The air heats up upon contact with these heat sources,
and circulates around the inside of the oven to provide
uniform heat, as the hot, lighter air tends to rise. This is
caused by natural convection. This cooking mode is
especially recommended when cooking simmered recipes
using covered casserole dishes (hotpots, tripe, etc.) or
for Bain Marie cooking (crème caramel, terrines, etc.).
In this case, use the dripping pan as a dish support and
place it on the 2nd rack from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.

: "Pastry"

Only the circular heating element at the back of the oven
and the fan come on to provide delicate heat, suitable for
baking cakes and pastries such as brioches, chocolate
cake, fruitcake, sponge cake, mini cup cakes, meringues,
etc.
In this case, use the dripping pan as a dish support and
place it on the 2nd rack from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.

: "Fast cooking"

The combination of all the heating elements together with
the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout
the oven.
This particular cooking mode is ideal for fast cooking
(not requiring any pre-heating) and for cooked dishes
(frozen, pre-cooked food).
In this case, use the dripping pan as a dish support and
place it on the 2nd rack from the oven bottom.

: "Multicooking"

The combination of all the heating elements together with
the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout
the oven.
This cooking mode is recommended for cooking several
dishes on more than one rack.
Even if the dishes vary in nature, their respective flavours
are maintained during cooking.
When using this cooking mode, all the dishes should
require the same cooking temperature (you just need to
take them out gradually as each one is ready). When
cooking on two racks, for example, use the dripping pan
as a dish support on the first oven rack from the bottom
and the grid on the third rack from the bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.

: "Pizza"

The heating elements (bottom and circular) are turned on
to heat the oven up quickly.
Your pizzas and tarts will benefit from a greater amount
of heat from below, thus guaranteeing the rapid baking of
the dough during cooking. As for the fan, the latter browns
the surface as necessary, making the food even more
appetising.
Use the dripping pan as a dish support and place it on the
1st rack from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.

: "Grill"

The top heating element comes on: the grill goes red and
emits infrared rays just like those contained in sunlight.
In fact, this cooking mode does not essentially intend to
heat up the air inside the oven, but rather to expose the
food directly to these rays.
Use this cooking mode with the oven door closed. We
recommend you start with the oven cold.
The amount of heat radiated is adjustable on the
temperature selector.
Place the dripping pan on the first rack from the bottom in
order to catch any fat or juices that may drip from the dish
and place the grid on one of the top racks depending on
the size of the meat.

: "Gratin"

Only the top heating element comes on, with the emission
of infrared rays. The forced circulation of air caused by
the fan at the back of the oven ensures the uniform
distribution of heat throughout the latter, and all foods thus
benefit from the following at the same time:

• the infrared rays that guarantee the perfect cooking

of the food surface, thus sealing in the tenderness and
juices in the case of meat,

• the hot air that also allows for the food to be cooked

thoroughly via conduction.

This cooking mode is recommended when cooking roasts

(red or white meats), and for poultry.

Place the grid on the 2nd rack from the oven bottom as a
support for the meat and the dripping pan on the 1st rack
from the bottom to catch any dripping fat or juices.
Always place your food in the oven when it is cold.

If your furnace is equipped with a rotisserie, you can use
it with the functions grill and gratin. Always keep the oven
door shut when using the rotisserie and start with the oven
cold in order to avoid scalding yourselves when positioning
the spit.
Place the dripping pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom
to catch any dripping fat or juices and position the rotisserie
on the 3rd rack from the oven bottom (please see the next
paragraph for instructions on positioning the rotisserie).

When using the "grill" or "gratin" modes, remember
to keep children away from the accessible parts of
the appliance as they become very hot.

: fast clean

This process cleans the oven fully.
For further details on the oven's fast clean properties,
please see page 31.

The accessories

Your oven offers you many differing cooking modes. These
can only be achieved thanks to a certain number of
accessories which we have chosen for you.
These accessories slide in and out of the different oven racks
inside your oven and can thus be positioned in accordance
with the individual cooking requirements of differing foods
and dishes.
For each cooking mode and each example suggested, we
specify the oven rack to use (from the oven bottom up).

The dripping pan

Use it:

• as a dish support for all dishes when cooking on

one rack only and in Bain Marie cooking,

• as a support for food (mini cup cakes, etc.),

• as a dripping pan to catch juices and fat dripping

from food situated on the large grid.
We advise against using the dripping pan on the 4th and 5th
racks from the oven bottom.

The large grid

Always use the large grid with the edges upwards and
together with the dripping pan.

• When it is positioned on the 2nd rack from the oven

bottom, it acts as a meat support, with the dripping pan

placed on the 1st rack from the bottom to catch any

dripping fat or juices.

• When it is positioned on the top rack (depending on

the size of the foodstuff) for grilled food, the dripping

pan is to be placed on the 1st rack from the oven bottom

to catch any dripping fat or juices.

• When it is positioned on the top rack for cooking on

more than one rack.

The rotisserie

Wing screw

Spit cradle

Spit

Prong

Spit handle

This specific accessory is ideal for roasting meats, as the
latter rotate slowly and are browned uniformly until cooking
is done. It is comprised of the following:

• a support situated on the 3rd oven rack from the oven

bottom so the rotisserie fits into the hollow shaft of
the rotisserie motor located at the back of the oven,
behind the perforated oven back panel.

• a spit that passes through the roast, which is kept

firmly in place on both ends by two adjustable sliding
forks each fastened onto the spit by means of a wing
nut.

Warning: when positioning the rotisserie assembly, ensure
the spit fits firmly into the hollow shaft connected to the motor.
Make sure you position the following correctly:

- the spit in the centre of the roast

- the roast at an equal distance from both ends of the spit.

• a removable handle made of insulating material to

screw onto the front of the spit allows you:

- to have a rotisserie which is long enough for even
the largest of roasts

- to avoid scalding yourself when removing the roast
at the end of cooking.

Screw on the handle tightly to take out the spit (the handle
should be removed from the spit during cooking).

Rotisserie timer

ARISTON ovens are fitted with a rotisserie timing device.
When cooking is done, the rotisserie motor continues to turn
the spit and only comes to a stop when the temperature
inside the oven has dropped sufficiently: this prevents the
surface of the meat from burning.
When cooking is done, leave the mode selector set to the
cooking mode under way and set the temperature selector
back to the minimum setting.

We advise against placing meat directly onto the
dripping pan when using the "gratin" mode as the fat
and juices heated from below in this particular cooking
mode could in fact char and splash onto the oven inside
panels and create smoke.

Continued ventilation

The fan stays on when cooking is done in order to cool the
oven down. So do not worry if you hear the fan going even
after you have turned the oven off: the ventilation will come
to a stop when the temperature has dropped below 120°.

Oven light

To turn the oven light on, set the mode selector knob to the

symbol.
The oven light stays on during cooking, whatever the cooking
mode (with the exception of the self-cleaning mode).
If you decide to delay the cooking start, the oven light comes
on as soon as you programme the start and stays on until
cooking is done.

Fast clean

Safety devices

In fast clean mode, the temperature inside the oven reaches
500°, which is necessary for the destruction of food and fat
residue, as illustrated below.

Given this high temperature, your oven is fitted with some
safety devices:

• the oven door is locked automatically as soon as

the temperature is high in order to avoid all risks of
burns.

• the heating elements are no longer powered if an

anomaly occurs.

Notes:
1- Despite the high temperature inside the oven during the

pyrolytic self-cleaning process, the external surfaces of the
appliance remain lukewarm, thanks to:

• a reinforced insulation of the oven compartment

• a fan that ensures the circulation of air to cool down

the oven wall panels.

2- When looking through the oven door, you may notice some
particles that light up when they are destroyed by pyrolysis
upon contact with the heating elements: this is simply

spontaneous combustion, it is extremely normal and
without danger.

How to set the cleaning process in motion

– Take all the accessories out of the oven. Remove the

toughest grease and food spots and especially all
substantial overflows in order to avoid the creation of
flames or smoke.

– Shut the oven door.
– Set the mode selector to

– Programme it. You can choose between

· an immediate start: same procedure as for cooking,

· a delayed start: same procedure as for cooking,

– The pyrolytic self-cleaning process takes approximately

90 minutes.

What happens during the fast clean process?

When the temperature reaches 325°C, the oven door is
automatically locked: the letter "P" comes up on the display,
along with the remaining process time, as it decreases.
The oven door stays locked for as long as the temperature
inside the oven remains high.

What happens at the end of the fast clean
process?

Precautions to be taken before performing the
fast clean process

1- Try to remove the larger food residue from inside the

oven using a wet sponge. We highly advise against the use
of detergents or all other products recommended for cleaning
ovens.
2- Remove all the accessories from the oven: they are
not designed to withstand such high temperatures. What's
more, some of these accessories would alter the result of
the pyrolytic self-cleaning process and obstruct the circulation
of heat inside the oven. The accessories can easily be
cleaned like everyday crockery and are dishwasher-proof.

3- Don't leave any tea towels on the oven door handle.

Warning: the oven surfaces may get hot during the fast
clean process: keep children well away.

Troubleshooting

DO NOT WORRY IF…

When the process is over,
To be able to open the oven door, you will have to:

• wait for the temperature inside it to have dropped
back to an acceptable level,

• have set the mode selector knob back to 0.

You will notice some white dust deposits on the bottom and
sides of the oven, remove them with a damp sponge when
the oven has cooled down completely.
If on the other hand you want to take advantage of the heat
accumulated during the process to start cooking, the dust
can stay where it is: it does not form a source of danger to
your food.

"P. 0.00""P. 0.00"

"P. 0.00"comes up on the display.

"P. 0.00""P. 0.00"

Some operating anomalies may arise. These are generally due to incorrect handling or to the erroneous valuation of a
phenomenon.

If your oven releases a lot of smoke during cooking:

• Make sure you have selected the correct cooking mode for the type of dish you want to prepare and that you have
selected the right accessories and put the dish in the oven at the recommended rack height.

• Check the temperature selected: it is no doubt too high for the type of cooking required.

• Check the degree of soil of the oven, and whether the latter needs to be cleaned. Food residue encrusted onto the

enamel coating inside the oven becomes charred and creates both smoke and pungent smells.

• Splashes of grease or overflows onto very hot surfaces could crate smoke.

Cooking advice

Cooking is by definition the passage from a raw state to a cooked one.
The consequent result is appreciated according to different criteria: the colouring, any development in the
dish, its smoothness or tenderness, how cooked you want it to be, etc… .

The oven settings (temperatures and cooking time) obviously depend on two important parameters:

- the size of the food or dish,

- the ability of the food to brown (quantity of sugar and eggs in the recipe).

The cooking settings contained in our table were calculated according to precise parameters and you may feel
the need to make slight changes to the same in order to adapt them to your own dish and your desired degree
of cooking.

Maintenance

Inside the oven

We recommend you clean your oven each time you use it,
especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to
prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the
residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is used
and would char and release smoke and unpleasant

odours.

Oven exterior

Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of
your oven using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making
sure you rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using
abrasive or corrosive products which could damage them.

Stainless steel

Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using
a soft cloth. Use a specific non-abrasive product to remove
tougher stains,

Using aluminium foil

To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may
be tempted to line the same with some aluminium foil. We

strongly advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet
in direct contact with the heated enamel coating could
melt and damage the enamel coating inside the oven
irreversibly.

Cleaning the rotisserie and other accessories

The rotisserie can be removed completely thanks to the 2
wing nuts. The elements comprising the rotisserie assembly
should be cleaned together with the other accessories
(dripping pan, grid) in the sink using a damp sponge and
ordinary detergent or even in your dishwasher.

Disassembling the oven door

The oven door can easily be removed to clean the space
between the bottom of the door and the front of the oven. To
disassemble the door, proceed as follows:

• open the oven door fully,

• lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,

• shut the door, but not completely,

• grip the door on the two external sides and pull it towards

you, pulling it out of its seat.

Built-in installation

This oven can be built into all standard furniture cabinet
units featuring dimensions conforming to European
standards.No particular precautions need to be taken
when performing the built-in installation of the oven, thanks
to:

- its reinforced insulation that limits the heat exchanges

- its frontal cooling ventilation requiring no air inlet.
Installation must be performed by a qualified professional
and in all cases in compliance with the safety norms in
force, failing which the appliance guarantee will not be
valid in the event of an accident caused by incorrect
installation.
This is also important for the safety of the user and the
long life of your appliance.

The panels of the adjacent cabinets must be made of heat­resistant material. In particular, cabinets with a veneer exte­rior must be assembled with glues which can withstand
temperatures of up to 100°C.
In compliance with current safety standards, contact with
the electrical parts of the appliance must not be possible
once it has been installed.
All protective parts which ensure the safe operation of the
appliance must be removable only with the aid of a tool.

You can connect your furnace to the electric installation
by means of a case of connection. You defer to the table
for the minimal wire sections and the calibration of the
protection measures according to the branch.
If the appliance is installed with a junction box, an
omnipolar circuit breaker - with a minimum contact opening
of 3 mm - should be installed between the appliance and
the mains.
We recommend you use a power supply cable which is
long enough to allow you to take the oven out of its recess
in the event of maintenance operations (only use HAR ­H 05 - RRF quality cables fitted with a plug conforming to
the regulations in force in the country where the appliance
is fitted).
The plug must be accessible at all times.
