All about Hotpoint-Ariston ovens
For a long time, Russian and foreign consumers have clearly preferred “large” cookers. But now the popularity of another solution is growing more and more - separate ovens. They are also produced by Ariston, whose products are worth getting to know better.
Peculiarities
The division of a single plate into a cooking surface and an oven has proven to be in demand in recent years. The reason for this is the optimization of the kitchen space. Therefore, one of the leading manufacturers of household appliances could not stay away from this process. The Italian company has been operating steadily since the 1930s, and during this time has accumulated considerable experience in creating the most original designs. The Hotpoint-Ariston oven can use both gas and electrical energy. The company's designers are constantly trying to increase the functionality of their products. In doing so, they also care about the ease of use of these products. Almost all existing dishes can be prepared with these ovens. The volume of the working chamber varies widely. Any model of the concern is equipped with thick heat-resistant glass on the door.
This means that the risk of getting burned is minimized. Cleaning can be both traditional and steam, there are also models with catalytic and pyrolytic cleaning. The choice between them is entirely at the discretion of the consumer. Ariston developers always pay attention to the attractiveness of the design. They willingly use the most modern and original color solutions.

Hotpoint-Ariston can offer consumers not only stand-alone but also dependent ovens. They are always equipped with first-class hobs. All management is concentrated on a common panel. However, it must be borne in mind that if this panel breaks, then both the hob and the oven will be inoperative. It is this circumstance that made independent designs so popular all over the world.
The difference can also relate to the organization of management. Electromechanical devices are used for this purpose in budget modifications. Users can use 2 or 3 levers (buttons) and a timer. This solution is very simple and, in addition, is reliable. In expensive versions of ovens, there are touch buttons or fields for pressing. Thanks to them, you can customize household appliances much more flexibly. However, carefully thought-out automation is a prerequisite. If it is done well, then the cooking process is greatly simplified. Excellent Italian quality is characteristic of any control system installed on ovens from this manufacturer. Therefore, even the often mentioned difference in the reliability of mechanical and sensory elements is not detected.
The difference between electric and gas versions is undeniable. If only because the range of electric ovens is much higher. No wonder: the Italian firm initially focused on the European market. And there, for several decades in a row, the use of gas for domestic purposes has been steadily declining. In addition, electrified equipment is better equipped and more functional. And one more thing - the absence of protrusions and elements, which are obligatory for a gas oven, makes the technique more attractive.
But this does not mean that Hotpoint-Ariston gas models are not perfect enough. On the contrary, they are created as carefully as possible, using all the achievements of modern technology.You can be sure that no innovation will go unnoticed by the engineers of the concern. In Russian conditions, the undoubted advantage of gas technology is its independence from power supply. And the cost of blue fuel is still more profitable than cooking on electricity.
Hotpoint-Ariston engineers have always placed great emphasis on the safety of gas technology. Therefore, you can purchase it without the slightest fear. However, you still need to figure out whether you need a built-in oven or a free-standing device. The built-in type fits better with the furniture set, and the separate one can be placed in different places of your choice. What is more important - the consumer himself decides.
Rating of the best models
It is not at all necessary to choose traditional white technique. Silver Hotpoint-Ariston FA2 841 JH IX is very cheap. This independent electrical cabinet has an internal volume of 71 liters. The designers were able to achieve the A + power consumption level. There are 9 heating programs, and the cleaning is carried out by a hydrolysis method. The oven is equipped with convenient telescopic guides. It is worth remembering that operation in microwave mode, as well as in steamer mode, is not possible. But there is a grill, the power of which reaches 1.8 kW. JH IX can defrost food. In addition to recessed handles, the device is equipped with:
- timer;
- for hours;
- screen;
- cooling fan;
- double glass in the door;
- child safety unit;
- backlight system.
Alternatively, you can consider Hotpoint-Ariston GA3 124 IX... The capacity of the working compartment is the same - 71 liters. There are only 2 heating modes provided. You will have to manually clean the oven. There is no convection. The 124 IX gas oven is installed independently of the hob. The device is equipped with rotary switches. The designers have provided a reliable timer with a sound signal. By opening the cabinet door, you can access the electric grill. The working chamber is illuminated from the inside, but there is no spit in it.
Importantly, gas is ignited using an electrical system. There is also a reliable gas control. The inner volume is cooled. The highest operating temperature reaches 250 degrees; shutdown in critical situations is also provided. The next step is again the electric apparatus of the model FID 834 H SL... This oven can be operated in 7 different modes. It can only be connected to supply lines that are designed for a power of 2.8 kW. The kitchen cabinet is cleaned using the hydrolysis method. The device can work in convection mode, it was also equipped with a grill and a fan. The controls are organized with classic rotary handles.
Many people will also love the beige oven. FTR 850 (OW)... The volume of the working chamber is less than that of the previous models (58 l). But this is largely offset by an additional eighth cooking mode. Delight in a smart electric grill and a timer that automatically switches off. There is no child protection system here.
How to choose?
The choice of the type of energy is determined by which oven is more convenient to use. If a gas pipeline is already connected, then gas fuel is much more profitable. But even in hard-to-reach areas, it can be more practical than electric current. Of course, if there is a possibility of delivery of cylinders. However, in this case, it is already necessary to select a model that is optimally designed specifically for connecting to bottled gas.
The electrical model necessarily requires the preparation of power inputs and groundings. In the absence of them, you will have to lay a special cable. If this rule is not followed, you can face serious problems. When the functionality of the oven is in the first place, it is necessary to give preference to electric appliances. But you need to understand that multifunctional models are much more expensive than simple devices.
Power is also very significant. Do not chase excess power.It must be carefully selected according to personal needs. After all, an oven that is too “strong” is always large. And the consumption of gas or electricity turns out to be very high. The electric type of oven allows you to maintain the required temperature throughout the entire cooking period. The placement of heating elements is often done around the perimeter of the oven. You can cook several meals at once. Obviously this saves a lot of time. However, it must be remembered that such a cabinet consumes a significant amount of energy.
Oven size Hotpoint-ariston usually 0.9-1.2 m. This type is considered standard in Western Europe. There is only one problem: the majority of Russian kitchens have an unsuitable layout. Therefore, the Italian concern supplies models with a width of 0.6 m for the domestic market. Important! When buying a built-in oven, it is necessary to check that its inner part is 0.005-0.02 m narrower than the outer dimension. Then the product will fit in the allotted niche without any problems. And the outer frame will cover the gap that appears. The height of the oven is usually 0.6 m.However, you can also choose small modifications, which reach only 0.46-0.5 m.
The number of spare parts directly depends on the functionality of the product. Of course, the more functions a device has, the more complex its structure is. Therefore, you should always be interested in whether it is difficult to order spare parts for a specific model. It depends on how long the repair will take. But one should not chase excessive simplicity either. It is advisable to think in advance what functions are needed. Grilling is very useful. Crispy-fried meat looks extremely attractive. Its taste is also incomparable. Those who love barbecue should purchase an oven with a spit.
Regardless of your culinary preference, a timer is useful. If you have one, you can calmly do other things without wasting time working with the oven. Among the relatively new features, the extendable trolley is gaining popularity. Thanks to her, you can remove a dish or tray from the oven without any problems. Sometimes the walls are blown with cold air. This feature makes work safer. Importantly, cooling the cabinet from the inside helps to preserve the integrity of the furniture located nearby. Connoisseurs always pay attention to the thermal protection of the door. This option will be appreciated by those who have repeatedly burned themselves while working in the kitchen.
However, we must remember that the cost of models with a cold door is higher. Saving space in a small kitchen can be achieved by choosing an oven with a microwave function. But determining the temperature inside the food being prepared is hardly useful. The fact is that even very experienced world-class chefs rarely use this option.
Usage Tips
Before connecting the Hotpoint-Ariston oven, you need to carefully consider the installation location. The fact is that the unit itself and its external parts can get very hot. Therefore, the device should be installed only where it does not pose a danger. This is especially important when there are small children in the house. It is unreasonable to rely only on engineering protection systems. Before starting work, be sure to read the instructions. It contains the most accurate information about operating modes, their capabilities and limitations. It is also worth looking into the sections on the control panel elements and special symbols on the display. Yes, the developers of Hotpoint-Ariston make the controls intuitive, but it's best to watch out for the slightest mistakes.
Ovens must be used by children aged 8-10 years. At an earlier age, you can only explain and show children the use of individual controls. It is impossible to admit them without control to the oven. It is strictly forbidden to clean household appliances with abrasives or metal cutting devices. This is especially true for cleaning the glass on the door.It is also worth remembering that the oven should not be cleaned with steam cleaners or other high-pressure devices.
Before cleaning and servicing, check that the oven is off. All service should be performed by authorized organizations and specialists only. Installation of built-in ovens in kitchen sets made of materials not resistant to heat is not allowed, spare parts are chosen strictly for a specific model. It is required to carefully measure the niche for installation. Free-standing ovens are not installed arbitrarily, but taking into account the requirements for electrical and gas safety.
