9.Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the main switch before cleaning or performing any maintenance operations.
10.If the appliance malfunctions and/or breaks down, turn it off. For all repairs, call only an authorised after-sales service centre and demand the use of original spare parts only. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the safety of the appliance.
11.Cut the power supply cable after disconnecting it from the power mains when you decide not to use the appliance any longer. Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance safe, above all for children who could play with the appliance.
12.Remember to keep children away from the appliance when you use the grill or oven, since these parts become very hot.
13.When the appliance is in use, it becomes quite hot. Take care not to touch the heating elements inside the oven.
14.Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/” ¡”position when the appliance is not in use.
15.Use oven gloves to place cookware in the oven or when removing it;
16.Never use the oven to store inflammable material.
17.Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or petrol, etc. near the appliance when it is in use.
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.
: "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.
: "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.
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.
