Installation Important: The power supply to the appliance must be cut off before any adjustments or maintenance work is done on it. Installation of Built-in Ovens To ensure the proper working order of the built-in appliance, the kitchen unit must be of a suitable size. The sizes of the unit for installing the cooker under a worktop or in a column unit are shown in figure. To provide adequate ventilation, there must be appropriate ventilation openings in the front bottom and the top part of the cabinet (an intake opening on the bottom of at least 200 cm2, and an exhaust opening of at least 90 cm2). The unit panels next to the cooker must be heat resistant. In the case of veneered wood units, glues must be resistant to a temperature of 120 °C. In accordance with safety standards, once the appliance has been mounted, there must be no possible contact with electrical parts. Any protective parts must be secured so that they can only be removed with the use of tools. Fastening the oven Insert the appliance into the compartment; open the oven door and fasten the oven to the cabinet using the four screws “A”, remembering to place the special spacers provided between the hole and the screw itself.

Electric connection Cookers with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternated current at the supply frequency and voltage indicated on the data plate (at the bottom of the oven dashboard). The earthing conductor of the cable is the yellow-green conductor. Connecting the power supply cable to the mains The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and the mains, suitable for the load indicated and complying with current directives (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit- breaker). The power supply cable must be positioned so that it does not exceed 50°C more than room temperature at any point of its length. Before making the connection check that:

• the limiter valve and the home system can support the appliance load (see data plate);

• the power supply system has an efficient earthing connection which complies with the provisions of current regulations;

• the socket or omnipoar circuit-breaker is easily accessible once the cooker has been installed. NOTE: do not use reducers, adaptors or shunts as they could cause overheating and burns.

The "Maxioven" Ariston oven combines in a single appliance the advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of modern forced air ventilation ovens. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to easily and safely choose between 7 different cooking modes. The various features are selected by means of the selector knob (B) and the thermostat knob (C) on the control panel. Oven light When the selector knob is in any position other than the "●" position, the oven light comes on. NOTE: to turn the oven light on without activating any of the heating elements, the selection knob "B" must be turned to the setting indicated by the symbol and the thermostat knob "C" must be set to zero indicated by the "●" symbol. Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat on the hightest setting and leave the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing in it. 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. Convection Mode Set the termostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. The outer heating elements at both the top and the bottom of the oven will come on. The heat is distributed uniformly from the top to the bottom. The convection mode is recommended for preparing meat-based dishes featuring beef or veal which require slow cooking with the addition of liquids. It still remains the best cooking mode for dry pastries and fruit in general. When cooking in convection mode, only use one dripping-pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the the heat distribution with be uneven. Select from among the various rack heights based on the whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top or bottom. Lower heating element Set the termostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. By turning the knob to this position, the oven light and lower heating element come on. This position is recommended for finishing off the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is already superficially well-cooked but still soft inside. Note that when using this position, the thermostat is automatically set at the maximum temperature which cannot be regulated. Upper heating element Set the termostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. By turning the knob to this position, the oven light and upper heathing element come on. This position is recommended for finishing off the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is already inside well-cooked but still soft superficially. Grill Important: do not set the thermostat knob "C" to over 200°C. During grilling, keep the oven door closed. Both of the central heating element of the grill are activated. Food is cooked in the grill by the downward thermal rays produced by an incandescent electric heating element. The high, direct grill tempe- rature immediately browns meat, thus stopping juice dispersion and keeping meat more tender. The grill is particularly recommended for cooking dishes requiring a high superficial temperature: beef and veal steaks, entrecote, fillet steaks, hamburgers etc... Ventilated Grill Important: do not set the thermostat knob "C" to over 200°C. During grilling, keep the oven door closed. Both of the central heating element of the grill are activated, as well as the fan. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced air circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevents foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food. "Gentle pastry oven" Set the termostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. The lower heating element and the fan come on. This setting is ideal when cooking delicate foods, especially pastries that need to raise, because the heat rising from the bottom facilitates leavening. Please note that with this feature it takes a rather long time to reach higher temperatures in the oven. Therefore, if high temperatures are needed, we recommend that you use the "Conventional" setting. Ventilation Mode Set the thermostat knob (C) between 50°C and 250°C. Both the heating elements and the fan will come 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 rack levels can be used at Start-up and useGB

the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled, "Cooking On More Than One Rack". This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require an extended cooking time. 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 ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavor and appearance. The ventilated mode can also be used to thaw white or red meat, fish and bread by setting the temperature to 80°-100°C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the termostat to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C. After cooking, turn the appliance on for 4-5 minutes, setting the temperature knob to 0 in order to allow the oven to cool. If the appliance has been on for an extended amount of time at maximum temperature and this advice is not taken, a safety device to protect the same is activated, which interrupts the electricity supply temporarily. The thermostat light (E) This indicates that the oven is heating up. When the light goes out, the required temperature has been reached. When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it means that the thermostat is working properly to maintain the oven temperature. Multi-Skewer Rotisserie The Maxiovens are equipped with a removable multiple skewer rotisserie positioned parallel to the back of the oven fig. A). Slide the meat to be cooked onto the spit lengthwise, keeping it in place with the adjustable forks. Fig. A Fig. B With kebabs, slide the meat to be cooked onto the skewers provided and place them on the appropriate holders. Slide the holders, "A" and "B" in Fig. A, into the appropriate holes in the dripping-pan, rest the groove end of the rod on the guide "D" and slide the rack onto the bottom guide (Fig. B). Then slid the rod into the hole for the motor shaft and place the grooved end of the rod on the guide "C." Start the motor by turning the knob to the grill setting

Timer knob (D) To use the timer, you must wind the alarm by turning the knob almost one complete turn clockwise; then turn the knob back to set the time by positioning the minutes required on the index of the facia. AB18

Preheating If the oven must be preheated (generally this is the case when cooking leavened foods) the “ventilation” mode can be used to reach the desired temperaure as quickly as possible in order to save on energy. Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected. Using the Grill The plurifunction oven offers you 2 different grilling modes. Use the “grill” it allows you to grill small portions like toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, etc., to perfection. Position the food under the center of the grill because only the central part of the top heating element is turned on. Food placed in the corners will not cook properly. The “Ventilated Grill” 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. This mode can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process. Important: always use the grill with the oven door closed. This will allow you both to attain excellent results and to save energy (10% circa). For the best results when cooking on the grill, it is recommended to use the highest setting of the thermostat (200°C), which utilizes infrared rays. The grill should be placed on the higher racks (see the cooking chart). To catch fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping pan beneath the rack used for grilling. When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level. Baking Pastries When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red "E" light will turn off). Do not open the door while the pastry is cooking in order to prevent it from dropping. Batters must not be too runny, as this will result in prolonged cooking times. In general: Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time. Pastry dropped 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 outsideUse less liquid, lower the temperature, and increasethe cooking time. The pastry sticks to the pan Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour. I used more than one level and they are not all at the same cooking point Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary toremove the food from all the racks at the same time. Cooking Pizza For best results when cooking pizza use the "ventilation mode"

• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;

• Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the broiler 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 of four), it is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be placed on top halfway through the cooking process; Cooking Fish and Meat Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-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 rack and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the rack 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.GB
