How to use your oven 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 “B” situated on the control panel.

onds. The word “UNLOCKED” will be indicated on the display. The oven light When the oven is turned off, you can turn the light on and off by pressing button 4. It is automatically turned off as soon as cooking starts. Nonetheless, you can turn it back on by pressing button 4 again. When the oven is turned off, the light turns off automatically 10 minutes after the last instructions were entered onto the control panel.

Setting the clock The clock can only be set if the oven is turned off. After the appliance has been connected to the power supply, or following a power failure, the clock displays a flashing 12:00 or the last time memorised. Any adjustments to the time setting can be made by pressing button 1 and resetting the clock using knob “C”, which you can modify until the scrolling writing disappears completely from the display.

Cooling ventilation In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven, this appliance has been equipped with a cooling fan. During cooking, the fan is always on and a normal flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel. If there is a hob above the oven, the cooling fan may switch itself on automatically to protect the electronic components, even if the appliance has been switched off. Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until the oven cools down sufficiently. How To Use Your Oven Turn knob “B” clockwise to choose from the 7 default cooking modes or among the pre-entered recipes available (see Ariston recipe book). For each cooking mode, the display will indicate the following: • the cooking mode name (or that of the recipe); • the cooking mode number (or that of the recipe); • the default temperature; • the heat sources; Should the recommended temperature not be to your liking, you can always adjust it using knob “C”. Each cooking mode is also associated with a recommended cooking time, which you can modify, from one minute to 10 hours, by pressing button 2 and then turning knob “C” to set it to the desired value. The cooking time can be adjusted until the scrolling wording disappears completely from the display panel. The selected cooking time does not include the time required for preheating the oven. To start cooking, press cooking start button 4. With the exception of the “Fast cooking” and “Grill” modes, the oven will now begin the pre-heating stage, during which you may still: • change the temperature by turning knob “C”; • change the cooking time by pressing button 2 and then turning knob “C”; • enable/disable the control panel lock, by pressing button 2 for at least 3 seconds (see the paragraph entitled “Locking and Unlocking the Control Panel”); • stop cooking and turn the oven off by turning knob “B” anti-clockwise. Note: pre-heating is performed automatically by the appliance, which sets the pre-heating time according to the temperature selected by the user. The display panel will feature how long the oven will take to preheat before cooking starts.

Setting the date To update the date, keep button 1 pressed until the word “YEAR” is indicated on the display. . Update the year by turning knob “C” and then press button 1 to set the month, again using knob “C”. Press button 1 again to set the day using knob “C”. Press button 1 to memorise the date set. Timer Feature The timer can only operate when the oven is turned off. Please remember that the timer does not control the starting or stopping of the oven, it merely sounds a buzzer when the time is up and can be interrupted at any time just by pressing a button. To set the timer, press button 2, and then make the necessary adjustment using knob “C”. Press button 4 to start the timer. At all times during the timer operation, you may: • adjust its duration using knob “C”; • stop the countdown by pressing button 4 for approximately 3 seconds or turning knob “B” anti-clockwise; • enable/disable the control panel lock, by pressing button 2 for at least 3 seconds (see the paragraph entitled “Locking and Unlocking the Control Panel”). Selecting the language Press button 3 for a few seconds with the oven turned off. The languages available appear in sequence on the display panel. Press button 3 again to select the desired language. Selecting the display panel brightness Keep button 4 pressed until the word “BRIGHTNESS” is indicated on the display. Turn knob “C” clockwise/anticlockwise to increase/decrease the brightness of the display panel. A few seconds after this selection, the oven will be ready for further instructions. Locking and Unlocking the Control Panel This option enables the user to lock all the buttons and knobs. We especially advise you to use this option if there are children present. To enable the control panel lock, press button 2 for a few seconds. The word “LOCKED” is indicated on the display. To restore the usual commands to the appliance, just press button 2 again for a few sec-

Once the temperature set has been reached, the oven starts the cooking stage in itself, during which you may 16

still: • change the temperature by turning knob “C”; if you increase it by more than 25°C, the oven returns to the pre-heating mode; • change the cooking time by pressing button 2 and then turning knob “C”; • enable/disable the control panel lock, by pressing button 2 for at least 3 seconds (see the paragraph entitled “Locking and Unlocking the Control Panel”); • stop cooking and turn the oven off by turning knob “B” anti-clockwise. Once cooking is done, the wording “END-READY” will come up on the display, and a buzzer will sound, which will stop after 1 minute, after you press a button or after you turn one of the two knobs.

and require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for cooking pastries as well as fruit and cooking using covered dishes for oven baking. When cooking in convection mode, use only one rack, as the temperature would not be distributed evenly on several racks. Using the different rack heights available, you can balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.

Baking Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C. The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin, etc…..

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. Then, open the oven door and 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.

“Fast cooking” Mode Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C. All the heating elements are activated alternately, and the fan comes on, guaranteeing constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is especially recommended for cooking prepacked food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few “home-made” dishes. 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”.

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. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides. Notice: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system which detects any malfunctions. The user is informed of the latter by messages such as: • “F nn” (nn = a number comprising two digits): in these cases, you need to call for technical assistance as the oven is faulty; • “W nn” (nn = number comprising two digits): in these cases, it is best to call for technical assistance as the oven has detected a malfunction, although it continues to operate.

Multi-cooking Mode Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C. All the heating elements are activated alternately and the fan comes on. 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 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. Excellent results can be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like courgettes, aubergines,

Cooking mode description The cooking modes are selected by turning knob “B”.

Traditional Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C. The heating elements at both the top and the bottom of the oven will come on. The heat is thus distributed uniformly from the top and from the bottom. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, local stockfish recipes, tender veal with rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing meat-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly 17

peppers, etc. Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes. The “Multi-cooking” mode can also be used to thaw red or white meat and bread, by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C.

Gratin Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 40°C and 200°C. The top central heating element and the fan come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc. All cooking using the “Gratin” must be done with the oven door shut. This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

Pizza Mode Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C. All the heating elements are activated alternately and the fan comes on. The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures to cook, such as pizzas and large roasts.Only use one dripping pan or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these must be switched halfway through the cooking process.

Ventilated oven Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 40°C and 210°C. The circular heating element and the fan come on, providing “delicate” heat which is ideal for baking recipes with a low liquid content, such as shortbread biscuits, jam tarts and savoury biscuits (shortcrust pastry). We recommend the use of the second oven rack from the bottom. Preheat the oven first.

Grill Position of thermostat knob “C”: 50%, 75%, 100%. The top central heating element comes on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc... Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking. Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph. Note: turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the 3 different energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%), medium (75%) and maximum setting (100%) respectively.

Burn-free system (only on certain models) When using the rotisserie, remember that the oven is fitted with a special system which allows the food to continue to rotate even when cooking is complete: this will prevent the thermal inertia of the oven from affecting in any way the quality of the food cooked in rotisserie mode. When the set cooking time is up, press any of the buttons to silence the buzzer that the appliance sounds while the spit continues to turn. To complete this post-cooking phase, just turn knob “B” anti-clockwise until the word “OFF” is displayed or wait for the oven to cool down.

Programming the cooking mode To programme the cooking mode, follow the instructions below: • select the cooking mode by turning knob “B”, and the temperature by turning knob “C”. • set the cooking time by pressing button 2. The recommended cooking time comes up on the display, and you can adjust the same by turning knob “C”. Please remember that the time entered does not include the necessary pre-heating stage. • set the end cooking time by pressing button 1. The display panel will feature the end cooking time obtained by adding the current time to the previously selected cooking time, as well as the time necessary for the oven to preheat (automatically calculated by the appliance according to the cooking mode selected). Turn knob “C” until the display panel features the time you want the food to be ready.

After these selection procedures, the display panel will feature the time at which preheating will commence (where foreseen), and that at which cooking will be over. The latter can be altered up until the cooking mode and temperature reappear on the display panel. Any incorrect data can be corrected simply by repeating the above-stated instructions. press button 4 to activate the programming. To modify the settings made, press button 4 for approximately 3 seconds and repeat the above procedures.

Per annullare una cottura già programmata To cancel a cooking schedule already programmed.To cancel any programme which has been entered, turn knob “B” anticlockwise until the word “OFF” appears on the display panel.

How to Keep Your Oven in Shape How to remove the oven door For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven door. Proceed as follows: • open the door fully; • lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges; • grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly but not completely; • pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat; Reassemble the door by following the above procedures backwards.

Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply. To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that: • Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance. • the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains are difficult to remove, use special products available on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. • the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly tough to remove, use a special product for oven cleaning, following the instructions provided on the packet. • if you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth. • there is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired. • never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the consequent accumulation of heat could compromise the cooking and even damage the enamel. • clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.

Replacing the Oven Lamp • Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the plug is accessible; • Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder; • Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics: - Voltage: 230/240 V - Wattage 25W - Type E14 • Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the mains power supply.

Practical Cooking Advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.

provided when using the “grill “ mode. In this case, cook with the oven door shut, placing the spit kit on the third oven rack from the bottom and the dripping pan on the bottom rack to collect any sauce and /or dripping fat.

The “Gratin” setting, only with the oven door shut, 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. When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a drippingpan on the 1st rack from the bottom. Important: always cook in “Gratin” mode with the oven door shut. 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 temperature 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.

Cooking on More Than One Rack When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use

the “Pastry” mode, which allows you to cook on 3 racks at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the bottom). Some examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.

When cooking other food on several racks, use the “Multi-cooking” mode, keeping the following suggestions in mind: • The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest and highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks. • As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom. • When cooking food that requires differing times and temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere between the two temperatures required, place the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first. • Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper;

Baking Cakes When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping. In general:

Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use pre-packed products (such as for example: frozen or precooked food) along with other food items. You will find useful suggestions in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.

Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.

Using the Grill The “7 Cuochi” oven offers you several different grilling modes.

“grill” mode, with the oven door ajar, Use the placing the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack from the bottom). To catch any fat and/or grease that may drip from the rack, place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the bottom. When using this mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting. Lower temperatures can also be set, simply by setting the thermostat knob to the temperature required. To ensure maximum grilling efficiency in your oven, we recommend you wait at least 2 minutes after turning on the grill before placing your dish inside it. Note: To help you keep the grilling time under control, the oven will sound a buzzer every 3 minutes. This may come in handy when toasting bread, for example. In models fitted with a rotisserie, you can use the spit kit

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C. 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.

Cooking Fish and Meat When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature settings from 180 °C to 200 °C. For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

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.

“Pizza For best results when cooking pizza, use the Mode”: • Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the rack 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 or four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process. • If cooking on more than one rack (up to 2), we advise

you to use the Multi-cooking Mode as the Pizza Mode would heat the bottom rack more than the others.
