USER MANUAL Deco MHR 940.1 (OW) HA HOTPOINT ARISTON

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 Before inserting the oven into the cabinet, loosen the 4 rear screws “D” - which fasten the side panels - if necessary. This will make it easier to move the oven vertically. The oven should be fastened to the cabinet through the 4 holes situated on the frame, using the screws and spacers provided. Once the oven has been fastened to the cabinet by inserting and screwing the screws in holes “A” tightly, proceed as follows:

1) With the oven door open, loosen the six screws

“C” (this way the side panels can slide down);

2) Lower the side panels as much as necessary to

gain access to the 2 holes “B” to fix the oven permanently;

3) Put the side panels back in place and fasten the

Electrical Connection Those ovens equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with an alternating current with the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (located on the appliance) and in the instruction manual. The wire for earthing the appliance is yellow-green in colour. Replacing the cable Use a rubber cable of the type H05VV-F with a suitable cross section 3 x 1.5 mm². The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer than the other wires. Opening the terminal board:

• Using a screwdriver, prise on the side tabs of the terminal board cover;

• Pull open the cover of the terminal board. To install the cable, proceed as follows:

• Remove the wire clamp screw and the three contact screws L-N-

• Fasten the wires beneath the screwheads using the following colour scheme: Blue (N) Brown (L) Yellow-Green

• Fasten the supply cable in place with the clamp and close the cover of the terminal board.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate. When connecting the cable directly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the appliance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit breaker should be sized according to the load and should comply with current regulations (the earth wire should not be interrupted by the circuit breaker). The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more than 50°C with respect to the room temperature, anywhere along its length. Before making the connection, check that:

• The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if the cooker is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance with regulations on electrical safety. Always ensure that the earthing is efficient; if you have any doubts call in a qualified technician to check the system. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting from a system which has not been earthed.

• Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that the specifications indicated on the date plate (on the appliance and/or packaging) correspond to those of the electrical mains system of your home.

• Check that the electrical capacity of the system and sockets will support the maximum power of the appliance, as indicated on the data plate. If you have any doubts, call in a qualified technician.

• If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have the socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified technician. The latter, in particular, will also have to ensure that the cross section of the socket cables are suitable for the power absorbed by the appliance. The use of adapters, multiple sockets and/or extensions, is not recommended. If their use cannot be avoided, remember to use only single or multiple adapters and extensions which comply with current safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed the maximum current capacity indicated on the single adapter or extension and the maximum power indicated on the multiple adapter. ! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible. ! The cable must not be bent or compressed. ! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

Start-up and use Using the oven ! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half and hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning

2. Select the desired temperature with the

THERMOSTAT knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking temperatures (see Cooking Modes).

3. When lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light

indicates that the oven is heating up to the temperature set.

4. You may do the following during cooking:

- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob. - change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob. - stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.

! There is no preheating stage for the BARBECUE mode.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided. Cooling ventilation In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan which blows air out between the control panel and the oven door. Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. In the BAKING mode, the cooling fan is only activated when the oven is hot. ! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. Oven light This is switched on by selecting using the SELECTOR knob. It remains lit when a cooking mode is selected. Clock with Country Style timer How to reset the correct time The oven must be plugged in. Pull the knob and turn it clockwise until you set the correct time. ! The programmer is electrically powered, therefore in the event of a power shortage, it will stop working for the entire duration of the same. Following this power failure, the correct time will have to be reset. Timer Feature The timer feature allows you to enter a given amount of time from which the timer begins to count down. This feature does not turn the oven on or off; it merely sounds when the time has elapsed. How to set the timer Turn the knob clockwise until the marker lines up with the desired time (internal scale), which can be seen in the “window”. The time countdown will begin immediately. To interrupt the timer buzzer, or to use only the clock feature, set the marker to the ! symbol.GB

Cooking modes ! A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can be set for all cooking modes except the following:

• BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power level)

• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C). TRADITIONAL OVEN mode When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. if more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly. BAKING mode This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise) and for the preparation of “bitesize pastries” on 3 shelves simultaneously. FAST COOKING mode This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre- packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only. MULTILEVEL mode Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time. PIZZA mode This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process. BARBECUE mode The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. GRATIN mode This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. DEFROSTING mode The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° - 100°C. Spit roast This accessory should only be used when cooking with the grill. Proceed as follows: thread the meat you wish to cook onto the rod positioned across the oven lengthwise, fixing it in place with the adjustable forks supplied. Position supports "A" and "B" in the relevant holes in dripping pan "E", rest the groove on the rod in slot "C" and use the guide rail to place the rack in the lowest position in the oven; next position the rod in the rotisserie spit hole, sliding the groove forwards to slot "D" (see figures). Start the rotisserie using the SELECTOR knob set to cooking mod or ;20

Practical cooking advice ! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan- assisted cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods. ! In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). MULTILEVEL

• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on 2.

• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top. BARBECUE

• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food in the centre of the rack.

• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly. PIZZA

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total cooking time.

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.GB
