Indesit KJ1G1 W/R [20/36] The different functions and uses of the oven
20
The various functions included in the cooker are selected by
operating the control devices located on the cooker control
panel.
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:. To light one of
the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner.
Press down and turn the corresponding knob in the counter-
clockwise direction to the maximum E setting. Each burner
can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate
power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off
(the knob is on this setting when the symbol lines up with the
reference mark on the control panel), for maximum E and
minimum C.
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).
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 grill to cook. 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.
The oven knobs
With these two controls you can select the different
functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperatu-
re suitable for the food you are preparing. The different
cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs:
L - the selection knob
M - the thermostat knob in the oven panel.
Pastry Mode
Position of thermostat knob M”: Between 50°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.
Convection Mode
Position of thermostat knob M”: between 50°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 re-
duced energy consumption. The convection oven is still
unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of
several ingredients, 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 re-
quire basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless re-
mains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit
and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven bak-
ing. When cooking in convection mode, only use one drip-
ping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise 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.
“Top” Oven
Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 50°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-operating pilot lamp (O)
Signals when the oven is heating. It switches off when the
temperature inside the oven reached the temperature
selected by the knob. At this point the alternate turning on
and turning off of this light indicates that the thermostat is
operating correctly to keep the oven temperature constant.
Attention
Avoid the children touch the oven door because it is very hot
during the cooking.
