Members of BD... I need your help!

I have an oven in the house I've moved into that has all the markings rubbed off, and the letting agents are useless. I've tried and failed to find the manual/close up picture of the oven.

The oven looks exactly like this one:

Ariston FM51RIX

The centre dial is a timer

The right one is the temperature, and seems exactly like this:

The left dial is the one we really need to know about. I imagine it's like this one as top is off, and one notch right is just the light, but it only has 7 positions and not 9 like this picture and I have no idea what the symbols mean anyway

Thanks for looking, hope one of you can help me out.

Going anticlockwise from the top

Fan assisted grill
Grill on high power
Grill on low power
Fan assisted oven
*shrug*
*shrug*
Oven
Light

I'd imagine the two betwen oven and fan assisted oven are something to do with the oven but I'd not be sure.

In fact this is all a guess.

Have you tried them to see what gets hot?

Probably best to post the ocuk thread rather than repeat myself

I would go with this as well.

Although Grills usually have two heating coils. So it'll be two and one coils rather than high or low. You still use the temp.

And that does indeed look liek a cake. I expect it does something fancy for cake baking. Although what it does no idea and probably doesn't make any difference.

As for which to use. Normal people will only use two settings. Fan assisted oven and the full grill with no fan.

You can tell when the fan is on, if you put your ahnd in teh oven you will feel a slight breeze.

a leccy oven my parents had contained 2 grill elements, 1 large and smaller one.

I think really your best bit is to turn them on and see what they do. You should be able to see the fan move through the grill at the back of the oven

Hotpoint and Ariston come under the same banner these days. If you go to the Hotpoint website and look up the SY51X model it's similar and gives you an instruction manual there. It has quite a few of the same symbols, unfortunately the two random ones (cake and the other weird one aren't listed :/).

one of the odd ones could be a dough rising setting. I know some ovens have it.

That looks perfect Muban, thanks a lot.
