Cooking Modes; Practical Cooking Advice - Indesit KN3G11S/NL Operating Instructions Manual

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the
GRILL programme, for which only the MAX power
level is recommended.
STATIC OVEN mode STATIC OVEN STATIC OVEN

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.
OTTOM mode

The lower heating element is activated. This position
is recommended for perfecting the cooking of
dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on
the surface but require further cooking in the centre,
or for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which
only require moderate colouring on the surface. It
should be noted that this function does not allow the
maximum temperature to be reached inside the oven
(250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that
foods are cooked using only this setting, unless you
are baking cakes (which should be baked at a
temperature of 180°C or lower).
OVEN TOP mode
The top heating element is activated. 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.
GRILL mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit will
be activated. The grill is also highly recommended
for dishes that require a high surface temperature:
beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers
etc...
! The GRILL and OVEN TOP cooking modes must be
performed with the oven door shut.
Lower compartment*
There is a compartment underneath the oven that
may be used to store oven accessories or deep
dishes. To open the door pull it downwards ( see
figure ).
! The internal surfaces of the
compartment (where present)
may become hot.
! Do not place flammable
materials in the lower oven
compartment.

Practical cooking advice

! In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping
pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease).
GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
• 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.
PIZZA
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as
it prevents the crust from forming by extending
the total cooking time.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
Rotisserie
To operate the rotisserie ( see
diagram ) proceed as follows:
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 with the SELECTOR knob.
* Only available in certain models.
