Practical Cooking Advice - Hotpoint Ariston FT 850.1 IX /HA S Bedienungsanleitung

To programme the cooking start time, briefly press the knob once until the
GB
START OF COOKING icon begins to flash.
To increase or decrease the cooking start time in steps of 1 minute, turn the
knob clockwise or anticlockwise; the minutes pointer moves clockwise or
anticlockwise accordingly, in steps of 1 minute.
The START OF COOKING icon flashes continuously for 10 seconds after the
most recent rotation. If the knob is not turned or pressed within this period,
the pointers automatically revert to displaying the time and the programme
is cancelled. After setting the cooking start time (START OF COOKING icon
lit steadily), pressing the knob again will begin the cooking end time setting
process (the END OF COOKING icon begins to flash), as long as at least
one minute has been programmed; otherwise the programming will be lost.
To programme the cooking end time, follow the above instructions.
Select the desired cooking mode using the SELECTOR knob. The oven
will switch on at the set start time and will switch off at the selected cooking
end time.
• For example: it is 9:00, the cooking start time is set to 11:00 and the cooking
end time is set to 12:15. The programme begins automatically at 11:00
and stops at 12:15, with a duration of 1 hour 15 minutes.
! To cancel a programme, press and hold the knob for 3 seconds: programming
will be cancelled and the programmer will revert to manual cooking mode.
Modes
! A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can be set for all cooking
modes except the following:
• BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
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 unevenly.
BAKING mode
This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes,
which need to rise) and for the preparation of "bitesize pastries" on 3 shelves
simultaneously.
FAST COOKING mode
This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen
or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.
MULTI-COOKING mode
Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and
browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at
the same time.
PIZZA modes
This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount
of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one
rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking
process.
BARBECUE mode
The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which
requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed.
22
GRATIN mode
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. Always cook in
this mode with the oven door closed.
Planning your cooking
Programming cooking time with immediate start
1. Turn the PROGRAMMER knob in an anticlockwise direction until the desired
cooking time is displayed.
2. Pull the PROGRAMMER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction until
the marker corresponds with the current time. A click will indicate the end of
the programming phase.
3. Select the desired cooking mode using the SELECTOR knob. The oven
switches on immediately and remains on for the entire duration of the set
cooking time.
4. When the set time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound. To stop the cooking
process, turn the PROGRAMMER knob in an anticlockwise direction until
the symbol " " is displayed.
5. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.
• For example: it is 9:00 a.m. and a time of 1 hour and 15 minutes is
programmed. The programme will stop automatically at 10:15 a.m.
Programming a delayed cooking time
1. Turn the PROGRAMMER knob in an anticlockwise direction until the desired
cooking time is displayed.
2. Pull the PROGRAMMER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction until
the marker corresponds with the desired cooking start time.
3. Select the desired cooking mode using the SELECTOR knob. The oven
will switch on at the set cooking start time and will remain on for the entire
duration of the set cooking time.
4. When the set time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound. To stop the cooking
process, turn the PROGRAMMER knob in an anticlockwise direction until
the symbol " " is displayed.
5. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.
• For example: it is 9:00 a.m., a time of 1 hour and 15 minutes is
programmed and the start time is set to 11:00 a.m. The programme will
start automatically at 11:00 and will end at 12:15.
! To cancel programming, turn the PROGRAMMER knob anticlockwise until
the symbol " " is displayed.

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 BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when using the
rotisserie spit, place the dripping pan in position 2 to collect cooking residues
(fat and/or grease).
MULTI-COOKING
• 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.
BARBECUE
• 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.
