Question 1

Where is the fuse located for this oven?

Accepted Answer

The official manual for the HOTPOINT-ARISTON FKQ 89EL P.20 (K)HA does not specify the location of the fuse. However, here’s how to proceed:

Where to look for the fuse

On the external fuse box (main electrical panel of your home) - it is the main fuse or switch that covers the power circuit of the oven
Behind the oven, near the 220-240 V power cable
Under a technical access panel, generally at the bottom of the oven

Before searching

This oven has a power supply of 220-240 V ~ 50/60 Hz with a maximum power of 2800 W. First, check that the corresponding electrical circuit is well protected at the main panel of your home.

If you can't find it

Contact HOTPOINT-ARISTON customer service (number provided in the manual) or an authorized technician who knows this model, especially if you need to replace a fuse.

Question 2

Does the Hotpoint-Ariston FH 103 IXHA oven have a static cooking mode?

Accepted Answer

No, the Hotpoint-Ariston FH 103 IXHA oven does not have a static cooking mode. This oven exclusively offers the following cooking modes:

Multilevel: activates all heating elements with a fan for constant and well-distributed heat. The air cooks and browns evenly on the two maximum levels that you can use simultaneously.
Barbecue: upper heating element with optional rotisserie. Direct and high temperature, ideal for foods requiring a crispy surface. At 100% recommended power.
Gratin: upper heating element, circular heating element during part of the cycle, fan, and rotisserie. Combines unidirectional thermal radiation and forced air circulation to prevent surface burning while penetrating heat to the core.
Low temperature: three precise temperatures available at 40°C, 65°C, and 90°C for proofing dough, defrosting, making yogurt, or slow cooking.

If you are looking for gentle and even cooking, the Multilevel mode is the closest with its constant and well-distributed heat. The Gratin mode also offers a good compromise by combining thermal radiation and air circulation. The Low Temperature programs are suitable for delicate and slow cooking.
