Cooking Modes - Indesit KN6T62SA/I Operating Instructions Manual

Cooking modes

GB
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for the following modes
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best
to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is
used, the heat will be distributed in an uneven manner.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched
on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a
delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire
oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking
temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need
to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves
simultaneously.
MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular)
switch on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat
remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks
and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of
two racks may be used at the same time.
PIZZA mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at
the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is
activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by
producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly
from the element at the bottom. If you use more than
one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes
halfway through the cooking process.
GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element is switched
on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires a high surface
temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and
entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of
energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the
food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked
properly if it is placed in the corners.
GRATIN
18
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) are activated and the fan begins to
operate. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
provided by the heating elements through forced
circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps
prevent food from burning on the surface and allows
the heat to penetrate right into the food.
! The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be
performed with the oven door shut.
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 9 symbol.
Practical cooking advice
! Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food that requires
more heat on the rack in position 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
GRILL
• When using the GRILL cooking mode, place the rack
in position 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to
collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). When
using the GRATIN cooking mode, place the rack in
position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to
collect cooking residues.
• We recommend that the power level is set to
maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always operate constantly.
