Indesit K6C320/G manual Different functions and uses of the oven

The different functions and uses of the oven

The various functions included in the cooker are selected by operating the control devices located on the cooker control panel.

Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom- mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected dur- ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in- stalled.

Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.

Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control

panel with the symbol on the timer knob.

Using the oven

When the oven control knob (G) 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. The temperature is reached automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat (from 60°C to 240°C).

Note: Whilst using tag oven for conventional cooking knob (O) 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.

Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be left partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.

D

Oven Light

The light comes on when the "G" knob is turned to the setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains on when any of the heating elements is turned on.

Thermostat Light (L)

This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set- ting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.

Cooking Control Timer Knob (only a few models) Some models are equipped with a timer program to control when the oven shuts off during cooking.To use this feature, you must wind the "M" knob one full turn in the counter-

clockwise direction ;Then, turn the knob in the clockwise

direction , to set the time by matching up the indicator on the control panel with the number of minutes on the knob.

At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will sound and automatically turn off the oven.

Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control

panel with the symbol on the timer knob.

When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can be used like a normal timer.

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.
