Indesit K6C32/G Start-up and use, Starting the oven, Using the cooking timer

Start-up and use

￿The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

￿Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the appliance.

Starting the oven

When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise

direction to the symbol the fan and oven light will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food. Rotating further to the complete range of temperatures shown on the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the food you are going to cook (fan assisted mode). The temperature is reached automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat (from 60°C to 240°C).

!Whilst using tag oven for conventional cooking VARIABLE GRILL knob must be set with “MAX” in line with the reference mark on the control panel.

Grill

The top heating element will come on. On this setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off in the downward direction by the electric heating element. The very high temperature and direct heat of the grill make it possible to brown meats on the surface while locking in the juices to keep them tender.

￿Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the rotisserie spit.

￿Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

* Only on certain models

Oven light

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob GB to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long

as the oven is operating. By selecting with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated.

Cooling ventilation*

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan that blows out air between the control panel and the oven door.

!Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

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.

Using the grill pan kit

Position the handle on the grill pan so that it fits into the small recess (fig. 1), tilt it upwards and slide it towards the centre (fig. 2).

The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan. Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles more efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.
