Indesit K3G21S/I Installation And Use Manual page 19

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 Grill to cook. 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.
Oven and Grill Control Knob (M)
This knob allows you to select the various features of the
oven and to set the most appropriate cooking tempera-
ture from among those indicated on the knob itself (be-
tween Min and Max).
To light the oven burner, hold a lighted match or lighter
near the "F" hole and, at the same time, press down and
turn the oven knob counter-clockwise to the Max setting.
Since the cooker is equipped with a safety device which
makes it necessary to keep the knob pressed in for
about 6 seconds after the burner has been lighted to
allow the gas to pass through freely.
The cooking temperature is selected by matching the de-
sired temperature with the reference mark on the panel;
the complete range of temperatures is shown below.
Min • 150 •
140 145 160
The temperature setting is then automatically reached and
kept constant by the thermostat (which is controlled by
the knob).
Important Notice: In the event the flame for the oven or
the grill accidentally goes out, turn the control knob for the
burner to the off position and do not relight the burner for
at least one minute.
Press the "M" knob all the way in and turn it to the
setting in order to start the grill. The grill cooks by means
of infrared rays, making it possible to brown food to per-
fection. It is also recommended for cooking roasts, sau-
sages, roast beef, etc.

ing the knob one full turn clockwise
, to the desired time so that the number of minutes on
the knob matches the reference mark on the panel.
The Grill Operating Light (Q)
This light comes on when any of the electrical heating
elements in the oven have been turned on.

Keep children away from the oven door when in use be-
cause it becomes very hot.
Practical advice for burner use
In order to get the maximum yield it is important to
remember the following:
•
Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table)
so as to avoid flames overshooting the edges.
•
At boiling point turn the knob to minimum.
•
Use cookware with lids.
•
Always use cookware with flat bottoms.
