How To Use Your Oven - Ariston FC 88 C.1 IX Gebrauchsanweisung

The 7 Cuochi oven combines the advantages of tradi-
tional convection ovens with those of the more modern
fan assisted models in a single appliance.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to
choose easily and safely between 7 different cooking
modes. The various features offered by the oven are se-
lected by means of selector knob "B" situated on the con-
trol panel.
Setting the clock
The clock can only be set if the oven is turned off.
After the appliance has been connected to the power sup-
ply, or following a power failure, the clock displays a flash-
ing 12:00 or the last time memorised.
Any adjustments to the time setting can be made by press-
ing button 1 and resetting the clock using knob "C", which
you can modify until the scrolling writing disappears com-
pletely from the display.
Setting the date
To update the date, keep button 1 pressed until the word
"YEAR" is indicated on the display.
. Update the year by turning knob "C" and then press but-
ton 1 to set the month, again using knob "C". Press button
1 again to set the day using knob "C". Press button 1 to
memorise the date set.
Timer Feature
The timer can only operate when the oven is turned off.
Please remember that the timer does not control the start-
ing or stopping of the oven, it merely sounds a buzzer
when the time is up and can be interrupted at any time
just by pressing a button.
To set the timer, press button 2, and then make the nec-
essary adjustment using knob "C".
Press button 4 to start the timer.
At all times during the timer operation, you may:
• adjust its duration using knob "C";
• stop the countdown by pressing button 4 for approxi-
mately 3 seconds or turning knob "B" anti-clockwise;
• enable/disable the control panel lock, by pressing
button 2 for at least 3 seconds (see the paragraph
entitled "Locking and Unlocking the Control Panel").
Selecting the language

The languages available appear in sequence on the dis-
play panel. Press button 3 again to select the desired lan-
guage.
Selecting the display panel brightness
Keep button 4 pressed until the word "BRIGHTNESS" is
indicated on the display.

crease the brightness of the display panel. A few seconds
after this selection, the oven will be ready for further in-
structions.

onds. The word "UNLOCKED" will be indicated on the dis-
play.
The oven light
When the oven is turned off, you can turn the light on
and off by pressing button 4. It is automatically turned
off as soon as cooking starts. Nonetheless, you can
turn it back on by pressing button 4 again. When the
oven is turned off, the light turns off automatically 10
minutes after the last instructions were entered onto
the control panel.
Cooling ventilation
In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven,
this appliance has been equipped with a cooling fan. Dur-
ing cooking, the fan is always on and a normal flow of air
can be heard exiting between the oven door and the con-
trol panel.
If there is a hob above the oven, the cooling fan may switch
itself on automatically to protect the electronic compo-
nents, even if the appliance has been switched off.
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until
the oven cools down sufficiently.
How To Use Your Oven
Turn knob "B" clockwise to choose from the 7 default cook-
ing modes or among the pre-entered recipes available (see
Ariston recipe book).
For each cooking mode, the display will indicate the fol-
lowing:
• the cooking mode name (or that of the recipe);
• the cooking mode number (or that of the recipe);
• the default temperature;
• the heat sources;
Should the recommended temperature not be to your lik-
ing, you can always adjust it using knob "C".
Each cooking mode is also associated with a recom-
mended cooking time, which you can modify, from one
minute to 10 hours, by pressing button 2 and then turning
knob "C" to set it to the desired value. The cooking time
can be adjusted until the scrolling wording disappears
completely from the display panel.
The selected cooking time does not include the time
required for preheating the oven.
To start cooking, press cooking start button 4.
With the exception of the "Fast cooking" and "Grill"
modes, the oven will now begin the pre-heating stage,
during which you may still:
• change the temperature by turning knob "C";
• change the cooking time by pressing button 2 and then
turning knob "C";
• enable/disable the control panel lock, by pressing but-
ton 2 for at least 3 seconds (see the paragraph enti-
tled "Locking and Unlocking the Control Panel");
• stop cooking and turn the oven off by turning knob "B"
anti-clockwise.
Note: pre-heating is performed automatically by the ap-
pliance, which sets the pre-heating time according to the
temperature selected by the user. The display panel will
feature how long the oven will take to preheat before cook-
ing starts.
Once the temperature set has been reached, the oven
starts the cooking stage in itself, during which you may
