Starting The Oven - Ariston FK G X Operating Instructions Manual

Start-up and use
GB
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature
for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well
ventilated before switching the oven off and opening
the oven door. The appliance may produce a slightly
unpleasant odour caused by the burning away of
protective substances used during the manufacturing
process.

Starting the oven

This knob is used not only to select the different
oven modes, but also to choose the right cooking
temperature for various foods from among the
temperatures shown on the knob itself (the range is
from 140°C to 240°C inclusive). The electronic ignition
device of the oven is built into the control knob. To
light the oven burner, press the OVEN knob in as far as
possible and turn it anti-clockwise, setting it to position
 (keeping the oven door shut). The oven is equipped
with a safety device. After lighting the burner allow the
gas to circulate until the safety thermocouple is heated
by keeping the OVEN knob pressed in for about 6
seconds.
! The electronic ignition device of the oven burner
must not be activated for more than 15 seconds. If the
burner fails to light after 15 seconds, stop pressing the
OVEN knob, open the oven door and wait for at least
one minute before you try to light the burner again.
The cooking temperature is selected by matching the
desired temperature with the reference mark on the
control panel; the complete range of temperatures is
shown below:
Min • 150
140 145
The oven will automatically reach the temperature set,
and the thermostat, which is controlled by the knob,
will keep the temperature constant.

The oven is equipped with a safety device. After
lighting the burner allow the gas to circulate until the
safety thermocouple is heated by keeping the OVEN
knob pressed in for about 6 seconds.

! If the burner flame is accidentally extinguished, turn
the OVEN control knob to the off position, open the
oven door and wait for at least one minute before trying
to light the burner again.
The GRILL knob
Your oven is equipped with an electric grill. The
extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and
roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender.
The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high surface temperature: beef steaks, veal,
rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc...
Some examples of how the grill may be used are
included in the "Practical Cooking Advice" section.
! When using the grill, the oven door must be kept shut.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven -
this could result in damage to the enamel coating.
Max
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
