ECODESIGN Directive 2009/125/EC Start-up and use

WARNING! The oven is provided with a stop system to extract the racks and prevent them from coming out of the oven (1).

As shown in the drawing, to extract them completely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and

! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an 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. 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 3

UPPER HEATING ELEMENT 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 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 temperature 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 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.

and the thermostat knob 2 on the control panel.

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50°C and 250°C, except for • GRILL and VENTILATED GRILL (recommended: do not exceed 200°C). CONVECTION MODE 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 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 wellcooked but still soft inside. Note that when using this position, the thermostat is automatically set at the maximum temperature which cannot be regulated.

GENTLE PASTRY OVEN 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 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 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.

GB GB 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 1

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. Timer knob 4 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. 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 “ 3 ” must be turned to the setting indicated by the

symbol and the thermostat

knob “ 2 ” must be set to zero indicated by the “●” symbol.

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

! 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 GRILL and VENTILATED GRILL cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie spit, 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. GRILL • 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.
