Frequently Asked Questions - AR6430PR ARDES

How to install the Ardes AR6430PR oven?

Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure proper ventilation around the oven. Connect to a grounded electrical outlet matching the power requirements (220-240V, 2500W). Avoid using extension cords.

How to preheat the oven?

Turn the function selector to the desired mode (e.g., convection). Set the temperature using the thermostat knob. Wait until the indicator light turns off, indicating the set temperature has been reached.

What does the fan-assisted function do?

The fan circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven, allowing for faster and more uniform cooking. It is ideal for baking pastries and roasting meats.

How to clean the oven?

After use and once cooled, wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The removable door glass can be washed with soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The enamel interior is easy to clean.

Why is the oven not heating?

Check that the oven is plugged in and the power supply is on. Ensure the timer is set (if used). If the problem persists, the heating element may be defective; contact customer support.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Yes, but avoid covering the entire oven bottom as it can trap heat. Use foil only on the baking tray or to cover food, ensuring it does not touch the heating elements.

How to replace the oven light?

Disconnect the oven from power. Remove the light cover (usually by unscrewing). Replace with a compatible 25W/300°C oven bulb. Screw back the cover and restore power.

What does the child lock do?

The child lock prevents accidental operation by disabling the control panel. Refer to the manual to enable/disable it, often by holding a specific button combination.

How to set the timer?

Turn the timer knob clockwise to the desired time (up to 120 minutes). The oven will automatically turn off when the time elapses. A bell may sound.

Where can I find spare parts?

Authorized Ardes service centers or online retailers offer spare parts such as heating elements, door gaskets, thermostats, and knobs. Always use genuine parts.

- Vent Release Valve (1)

Used to maintain low pressure (about 10 kPa) in the oven during the cooking process.

VENT RELEASE VALVE has two settings:

• SEAL to maintain the pressure;
• VENT to release pressure at the end of cooking process or to cook in standard mode (STATIC).

SEAL VENT

Note: By design the VENT RELEASE VALVE rests loosely on top of the vent valve. This allows the VENT RELEASE VALVE to rise up and down during the cooking process to maintain the proper pressure.

- Door Release Button (3)

Press the DOOR RELEASE BUTTON to open the oven door. Do not attempt to pull the door open without using the DOOR RELEASE BUTTON.

- Display (4)

During setting and working, the display will show the setting information (program, function, time, temperature, etc.).

Your oven has the ability to cook in STANDARD oven mode (STATIC) or in PRESSURE mode. Both functions require lowering the SEALING LEVER (8) to the SEAL position.

- Roasting pan (9)

When used, the roasting pan has to be placed on the Baking rack (14).

- Drip Pan (10)

When used, the Drip pan (10) has to be placed on the Baking rack (14). Note: the Drip pan (10) is not intended to come in contact with food to eat; it can be used to collect cooking liquids during cooking with broil rack insert (12) or rotating stick (11).

The lamp can be lighted on again by rotating the FUNCTION knob (5) or by pressing the TIMER/TEMP knob (6): it will remain lighted on for one minute.

When the inner light is on, the corresponding symbol on the display will light up.

Before using this oven, please ensure that you have read the instruction manual fully and have become familiar with important safeguards.
