! Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information concerning the safe operation, installation and maintenance of the appliance.

Positioning

! Do not let children play with the packaging material; it should be disposed of in accordance with local separated waste collection standards (see Precautions and tips).

! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may damage property or cause harm to people or animals.

Built-in appliances

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^ . 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.

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 × 1.5 mm^2 .

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.

The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating

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 3mm 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^ 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).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

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

pull (2).

! 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 and the thermostat knob ② on the control panel.

Modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50^ and 250^ , except for

• GRILL and VENTILATED GRILL (recommended: do not exceed 200^ ).

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 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 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

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.

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.

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

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 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.
