It will turn off when the temperatu – re setting has been reached. F. Glass oven door G. Programmer knob 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 can be accessed by manually moving the programmer or by selecting from the start / end cooking time program ( see the item specified on page 4 ) and adjusting the selector knobs “ B ” and the thermostat “ C ” on the control panel. 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 ” B ” must be turned to the setting indicated by the symbol and the thermostat knob ” C ” must be set to zero indicated by the ” ● ” symbol. Attention : The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat on the hightest setting and leave the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing in it. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed. Convection Mode Set the termostat knob ( C ) between 50 °C and 250 °C. 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 Set the termostat knob ( C ) between 50 °C and 250 °C. By turning the knob to this position, the oven light and lower heating element come on. How To Use Your Appliance

10 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 Set the termostat knob ( C ) between 50 °C and 250 °C. 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 Important : do not set the thermostat knob ” C ” to over 175 °C. During grilling, keep the oven door closed. 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 Important : do not set the thermostat knob ” C ” to over 175 °C. During grilling, keep the oven door closed. The 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 ” Set the termostat knob ( C ) between 50 °C and 250 °C. 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 Set the thermostat knob ( C ) between 50 °C and 250 °C. 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 tem – perature 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. The thermostat light ( E ) 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. Multi-Skewer Rotisserie The Maxiovens are equipped with a removable multiple skewer rotisserie positioned parallel to the back of the oven fig. A ). Slide the meat to be cooked onto the spit lengthwise, keeping it in place with the adjustable forks. With kebabs, slide the meat to be cooked onto the skewers provided and place them on the appropriate holders. Slide the holders, ” A ” and ” B ” in Fig. A, into the appropriate holes in the dripping-pan, rest the groove end of the rod on the guide ” D ” and slide the rack onto the bottom guide ( Fig. B ). Then slid the rod into the hole for the motor shaft and place the grooved end of the rod on the guide ” C. ” Start the motor by turning the knob to the grill setting. A B Fig. A Fig. B

11 Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply. To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that : • The self-cleaning panels ( if present ) and the enameled parts should be washed with warm water – abrasive powders and corrosive substances should be avoided ; • The inside of the oven should be cleaned immediately after use with warm water and soap ; the soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly ; • Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with agressive detergents ( containing phosphorus ) or water with a high lime content. We recommend that you rinse these parts thoroughly and dry them well after cleaning. It is also a good idea to dry any water spills ; • Never line the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil because the buildup of heat will not only impede the cooking process, but could also damage the enamel. Replacing the Lamp in the Oven • Cutoff the supply of power to the oven by turning off the omni-polar switch connecting it to the mains, or by removing the plug if it is accessible ; • Unscrew the glass cover attached to the lamp holder ; • Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another high – temperature lamp ( 300 °C ) with the following characteristics : – Voltage : 230 / 240 V – Wattage : 15W – Socket : E14 • Remount the glass cover and reconnect the appliance to the power supply. Protective kit During operation, the door and adjacent parts of the ap – pliance become very hot. Ensure that children are kept out of reach. To obtain a copy of the supplementary safety kit provided by our Central Office and Authorized Service Centers ( see attached directory ), request the Children Safety Kit ( number 14051 ).

Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (generally this is the case
when cooking leavened foods) the “ventilation”
mode can be used to reach the desired temperaure as
quickly as possible in order to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most
appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Using the Grill
The multi-function oven provides two different grilling options.
The “grill” setting perfectly grills traditional foods
(such as toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, etc).
The “Ventilated Grill” is extremely useful for grilling
foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible
not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom
part.
This mode can also be used for browning foods at the
end of the cooking process.
Important: always use the grill with the oven door
closed. This will allow you both to attain excellent results
and to save energy (10% circa).
For the best results when cooking on the grill, it is recom-
mended to use the highest setting of the thermostat
(175°C), which utilizes infrared rays. The grill should be
placed on the higher racks (see the cooking chart). To
catch fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping pan be-
neath the rack used for grilling.
Baking Pastries
When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after
it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the oven
has been preheated thoroughly (the red “E” light will turn
off). Do not open the door while the pastry is cooking in
order to prevent it from dropping.
Batters must not be too runny, as this will result in
prolonged cooking times. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the
cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour.
I used more than one level and they are not all at the
same cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza use the “ventilation
mode” :
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
• Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the broiler
supplied with the oven. If the dripping-pan is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza
is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it is
recommended that the mozzarella cheese be placed
on top halfway through the cooking process;
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from
drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use
low temperature settings (150°C-200°C). For red meat
that should be well done on the outside while tender and
juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high
temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then
turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the
roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat
on the centre of the rack and place the dripping pan
beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.

14 It is a good idea to do the following : – Only use the appliance to cook food, nothing else ; – Check the soundness of the appliance after it has been unpacked ; – disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains if it is not functioning properly and before cleaning or performing maintenance ; – When the appliance is not used for an extended period of time, cut off the supply of power and close the gas cock ( if present ) ; – Use cooking gloves to place cookware in the oven or when removing it ; – Always grasp the oven door in the centre because the ends may be hot due to the escape of hot air ; – Make sure that the control knobs are on the “ • ” / ” o ” setting when the appliance is not in use ; – Cut the power supply chord after disconnecting it from the mains when you decide not to use the appliance any longer. 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 60 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 The oven must be fastened to the cabinet using the 4 holes ( A ) located on the frame ( see Fig. 12 ). Use the 4 self-tapping wood screws. Bear in mind that you can access the two ” A ” holes on the left side by simply opening the oven door. To access the two ” A ” holes on the right side, proceed as follows : – remove the knobs ( pull them towards the front ) ; – with the door open, completely remove the ” B ” screw ; – loosen the two ” C ” screws ( this will allow the control panel to slide vertically ) ; – at this point, lower or raise the control panel to gain access to the two ” A ” holes on the right and screw in the two screws ; – replace the ” B ” screw removed earlier and tighten the two ” C ” screws ; – remount the knobs. 447 mm 78 78 min. 550 mm 3 mm 52 472 mm 480 mm 860 mm 22 mm 895 mm 525 mm 469 mm 840 mm min. 45 mm .
