Practical Cooking Advice - Ariston FK 62C X S Operating Instructions Manual

GRATIN mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. 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.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on,
thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and
uniform manner throughout the entire oven. 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.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
! In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place the
dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (sauce
and/or grease).
MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires
more heat on the rack in position 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on
top.
GRILL
• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Make sure the food is
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.
PIZZA OVEN MODE
• Use a lightweight aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as this
extends the total cooking duration and prevents the crust
from forming.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding
the mozzarella cheese to the top of the pizza halfway
through the cooking process.
