Practical Advice On Using The Electric Hotplates - Indesit K3G5.A/U Operating Instructions Manual

GRILL mode
GRILL GRILL GRILL GRILL
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
The top heating element and the turnspit come on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and
roasts while locking in the juices to keep them
tender. The grill is also highly recommended for
dishes that require a high temperature on the
surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets,
hamburgers etc...
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking,
except when using the turnspit.
Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical
Cooking Advice" paragraph..
FAN ASSISTED GRILL mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and 200°C.
The top central heating element and the fan come on.
This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of
the heating elements through forced circulation of the
air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from
burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate
right into the food. Excellent results are achieved
with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy
sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like
swordfish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
! The TOP OVEN, GRILL and FAN ASSISTED GRILL
cooking modes must be performed with the oven
door shut.
! When using the TOP OVEN and GRILL cooking
modes, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping
pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/
or grease). When using the FAN ASSISTED GRILL
cooking mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and
the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking
residues.
Rotisserie*

rotisserie function ( see
diagram ) proceed as

1. Place the dripping
pan in position 1.
2. Place the rotisserie
support in position 4
and insert the spit in the hole provided on the back
panel of the oven.
3. Activate the rotisserie by selecting
SELECTOR knob.
Lower oven compartment
! Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven
compartment.

Practical advice on using the electric
hotplates
To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates use
pans with a flat base, whose diameter is no less
than that of the hotplate itself.

! Before using the hotplates for the first time, you
should heat them at maximum temperature for
approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans
on them. During this initial stage, their protective
coating hardens and reaches its maximum
resistance.
