Cooking Modes - Hotpoint Ariston CP65SP2/HA S Manual De Instrucciones

Using the cooking timer
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob clockwise almost one
complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes
shown on the COOKING TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer sounds and the oven
turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used as a normal timer.
! To use the oven manually, in other words when you do not wish to use the
end of cooking timer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the
symbol.

Cooking modes

! A temperature value between 50°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
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. 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 in an uneven manner.
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.
FAST COOKING mode
The heating elements and the fan are activated, guaranteeing the distribution
of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven. Preheating is not
necessary for this 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.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan
begins to operate. 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 mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at the bottom of the oven are
switched on and the fan is activated. 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 central part of the top heating element is switched on. The high and direct
temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface
temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte).
This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling
small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked
properly if it is placed in the corners.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element and the fan will begin 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.
! The BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes must be performed with the
oven door shut.
The rotisserie spit
To activate the rotisserie spit, proceed as follows:
a) Place the dripping pan on the 1st rack.
b) Position the rotisserie support on the 3rd rack and insert the spit towards
the rear, threading it through the hole provided.
c) Start the rotisserie by turning the oven knob to the
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 1 to collect cooking residues
(fat and/or grease).
MULTILEVEL
• 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.
PIZZA
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from
forming by extending the total cooking time.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella
cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
