Routine Maintenance And Cleaning - Indesit K6E52/GR Installation And Use Manual

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
I used more than one level (in the function
"ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same
cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the "fan
assisted " mode:
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid
supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust;
Before each operation, disconnect the appliance from
the electrical power supply. To ensure that the appli-
ance lasts a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned fre-
quently, keeping in mind that:
• • • • •
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
•
the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels,
where present, are washed with warm water without
using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances
which could ruin them;
•
the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm, using warm water and detergent
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
•
the electric hotplates should be cleaned with a damp
cloth and lubricated with a little oil while still warm;
•
stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended that drops of water be dried;
•
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch
the surface and cause the glass to crack.
N.B.: Avoid closing the cover while the electric plates
are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before
opening it.

Routine Maintenance and Cleaning

• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is
cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
• When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and
4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the pizzas
in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10
minutes.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
Replacing the Oven Lamp
•
Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains; or disconnect the plug if it is
accessible.
•
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.
•
Remove the lamp and replace it with a lamp resistant
to high temperatures (300°C) with the following speci-
fications:
- Voltage: 230V
- Wattage: 25W
- Socket: E14
•
Replace the glass cover and connect the oven to the
mains.
