Frequently Asked Questions - A6TMC2 X AUS Ariston Thermo

How do I convert the cooker from Natural Gas to LPG?

To convert, replace the burner nozzles with the ones supplied for LPG (see injector diameters in the manual) and adjust the minimum flame setting. The gas regulator must also be changed. Always have a qualified professional perform the conversion.

How do I clean the stainless steel surfaces?

Use a soft cloth and warm water with mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use specialized stainless steel cleaners. Avoid abrasive powders, chlorine bleach, or scouring pads. Always dry thoroughly to prevent water marks.

What should I do if a burner fails to ignite?

Check that the gas supply is on and the knob is pressed and turned. For first use or after long idle, purge air by turning each burner to high for 10-15 seconds. If the igniter spark is weak, clean the spark plug. If the flame failure safety device is present, hold the knob down for 3-7 seconds after ignition.

How do I use the oven timer?

Turn the COOKING TIMER knob to the desired cooking time. The oven will switch off automatically when the set time expires. For manual operation without timer, turn the knob to the ⏻ symbol.

Can I use aluminium foil or pans in the oven?

Yes, but avoid placing foil directly on the oven bottom as it may cause overheating. Use a light aluminium pizza pan for pizza. Do not cover the dripping pan entirely as it may hinder heat circulation.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the oven from power. Remove the glass lid covering the lamp socket. Replace with a 25 W, E14 cap, 230 V bulb (similar to the original). Reattach the lid and reconnect power. Do not use the oven lamp for ambient lighting.

What is the anti-tilt bracket and how do I install it?

The anti-tilt bracket prevents the cooker from tipping over. It must be installed by fixing the bracket to the wall behind the cooker and attaching the chain to the cooker's rear. Follow the manual's detailed instructions with dimensions.

How do I perform steam-assisted oven cleaning?

Remove all accessories. Pour 300 ml of water into a baking tray and place it on the bottom shelf. Select BOTTOM heat at 100°C for 15 minutes. After cooling, wipe the interior with a damp cloth. For stubborn grease, repeat or use a mild cleaner.

What are the recommended pan sizes for the hob burners?

Use flat-bottomed pans with lids. Recommended diameters: Rapid burner: 24-26 cm; Semi-rapid: 16-20 cm; Auxiliary: 10-14 cm. The Wok burner is designed for wok pans up to 34 cm.

Lighting the burners for the first time

If the appliance is being used for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, it may be necessary to purge the gas lines of excess air before you can successfully light the burners.

To do this, turn each burner to High for 10-15 seconds and press the ignition button several times. If the burner does not light, repeat this procedure twice more. Walt 1-2 minutes for any gas build up to disperse before allowing any further gas flow.

Practical advice on using the burners

For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner:

Burner	Cookware Diameter (cm)
Fast (R) 24 - 26
Semi Fast (S) 16 - 20
Auxiliary (A) 10 - 14

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

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

- 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.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for the following modes

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

• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. 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 in an uneven manner.

BAKING mode

The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.

FAST COOKING mode

The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing

ARISTON

GRILL mode

The central part of the top heating element is switched on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element and the rolisserie (where present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. 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.

! The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut.

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 Ian, the defrostina time is approximately halved. In the case of

! In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

GRILL

• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place 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 choose on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.

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

- Gas appliances require a regular air supply to maintain efficient operation. Always ensure that the kitchen is adequately ventilated whilst the appliance is in use.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the TOP OVEN, GRILL and GRATIN modes: This will achieve improved results while saving energy (approximately 10% ).
• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.

Assembling the sliding rack kit

To assemble the sliding racks:

1. Remove the two frames, lifting them away from the spacers A (see figure).

Care and maintenance

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES. ALLOW COOKTOP AND ALL OVEN SURFACES TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING

Cleaning the appliance

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
• The hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings and burners may be removed to make cleaning easier; wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent, making sure all burnt-on residue is removed before drying them thoroughly.
• Clean the terminal part of the flame failure safety devices' frequently.
• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

Replacing the oven light bulb

1. After disconnecting the oven from the electricity mains, remove the glass lid covering the lamp socket (see figure).

2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar one: voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap E 14.

3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the electricity supply.
   ! Do not use the oven lamp as/ for ambient lighting.

Cleaning The Cooktop

• Always wipe spills up when they occur. Do not leave spills to dry onto the surface of the hob.
- It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
- NOTE: Do not put hot components in cold water. The sudden temperature shock could cause the component to crack.
- Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces; these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

Burners

- Wait for the cookton to cool completely. Remove

cold and wipe off with a clean, dry cloth. The enamel could dull if cleaned while still hot.

Stainless steel and chromed parts

• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive detergents containing phosphorus. After cleaning, rinse and dry any remaining drops of water.
• Use commercial products designed for cleaning stainless steel and chromed steel, and follow the maker's instructions. Care should be taken when cleaning around graphics.
• Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

Grill Plate

• We recommend that the grill plate be cleaned while it is still hot, using the knobs provided to move it from the cooking rack to the sink. Wash the grill plate with hot water and non-abrasive detergent.

Gas tap maintenance

Steam-Assisted Oven Cleaning

This method of cleaning is recommended especially after cooking very fatty (roasted)meals.

This cleaning process allows to facilitate the removal of dirt of the walls of the oven by the generation of steam that is created inside the oven cavity for easier cleaning.

! Important! Before you start steam -cleaning:
-Remove any food residue and grease from the bottom of the oven.
- Remove any oven accessories (grids and drip pans).

Perform the above operations according to the following procedure:

1. pour 300ml of water into the baking tray in the oven, placing it in the bottom shelf. In the models where the drip pan is not present, use a baking shoot and place it on the grill at the bottom shelf;
2. select the function of the oven BOTTOM and set the temperature to 100 °C;
3. keep it in the oven for 15min
4. turn off the oven;
5. Once cooled the oven, you can open the door to complete the cleaning with water and a damp cloth;
6. eliminate any residual water from the cavity after finishing cleaning

When the steam cleaning is done, after cooking especially fatty foods, or when grease is difficult to remove, you may need to complete the cleaning with the
