How To Use Your Appliance - Indesit K6G11S/I Installation And Use Manual

The various functions featured with the oven are control-
led using the knobs and buttons on the control panel.
Notice: Before operating the product, remove all plastic
film from the sides of the appliance.
Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N)
The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the
knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring:
the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner
and, at the same time, press down and turn the correspond-
ing knob in the counter-clockwise direction to the maximum
setting. Each burner can be operated at its maximum,
minimum or intermediate power. Shown on the knob are the
•
different symbols for off
the symbol lines up with the reference mark on the control
panel), for maximum
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise
with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the
knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the
symbol).
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to
Prevent Leaks
These models can be identified by the presence of the de-
vice itself (see detail H).
Important: Since the hob burners are equipped with a
safety device, you must hold the control knob in for about
3 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the
gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.
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.
Convection Mode
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come
on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has
been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced
energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled
when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredi-
ents, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style
stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Excellent results
are achieved when preparing veal or beef-based dishes as
well (braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.)

which need to cook slowly and require basting or the addition
of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for baking
cakes as well as fruit and cooking using covered casserole
dishes for oven baking. When cooking in convection mode,
only use one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time, other-
wise the heat distribution will be uneven. Using the different
rack heights available, you can balance the amount of heat
between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from
among the various rack heights based on whether the dish
needs more or less heat from the top.
Pastry Mode
Position of thermostat knob "M": Between 60°C and Max.
The bottom heating element comes on.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especially cakes that need to rise because the heat coming
from the bottom helps the leavening process.
Please note that it takes a considerable amount of time for
the higher temperatures to be reached, therefore we recom-
mend you use the "Convection Mode" in these cases.
"Top" Oven
•
Position of thermostat knob "M": Between 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob "M": Max
The top central heating element comes 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 tempera-
ture on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, ham-
burgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical Cook-
ing Advice" paragraph.
The oven light
Set knob "L" to the
and stays on when any of the electrical heating elements in
the oven come on.
Thermostat Light (O)
This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns off,
the temperature inside the oven has reached the setting 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.
Timer Knob (S)
In order to use the timer, it must be wound by turning the
"S" knob almost one complete turn in the clockwise direc-
tion . Then, turning it back
lining up the number for the minutes with the mark on the
control panel.
Practical Advice on Using the Burners
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some basic
guidelines should be followed:

Use cookware that is the right size for each burner (see
