How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the oven if external surfaces become dangerously hot.

  • Check cooling fan: Listen for the tangential cooling fan when the oven is hot. If silent, test and replace the fan as needed.
  • Inspect vents: Ensure top and rear ventilation slots are not blocked by cabinetry or objects.
  • Door seal: Replace a worn or damaged door gasket to reduce heat leakage.
  • Verify installation: Confirm that the oven is installed according to Ariston's ventilation clearances in the installation manual.
