Practical Advice On Using The Electric Hotplates - Indesit K3M51 S/FR Operating Instructions Manual

Cooking on several shelves simultaneously
GB
If it is necessary to use two racks, use the FAN
OVEN cooking mode
mode suited to this type of cooking. We also
recommend that:
• Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because
excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
• Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that
requires more heat is placed on the rack in
position 2.
• When cooking foods that require different cooking
times and temperatures, set a temperature that is
halfway between the two recommended
temperatures ( see Oven cooking advice table )
and place the more delicate food on the rack in
position 4. Remove the food that requires a
shorter cooking time first.
• When cooking pizzas on several racks with the
temperature set to 220°C, the oven is preheated
for 15 minutes. Generally speaking, cooking on
the rack in position 4 takes longer: we
recommend that the pizza cooked on the lowest
rack position is removed first, followed by the
pizza cooked in position 4 a few minutes later.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
Practical advice on using the electric
hotplates
To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates use
pans with a flat base, whose diameter is no less
than that of the hotplate itself.

! Before using the hotplates for the first time, you
should heat them at maximum temperature for
approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans
on them. During this initial stage, their protective
coating hardens and reaches its maximum
resistance.
