CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

For cooking different foods that require the same cooking temperature on several shelves (maximum three) at the same time. This function can be used to cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to another.

XL COOKING

For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5kg We recommend turning the meat over during cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We also recommend basting the joint every so often to prevent it from drying out excessively.

PIZZA

For baking different types and sizes of pizza and bread. It is a good idea to swap the position of the baking trays halfway through cooking.

GRILL

For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread. When grilling meat, we recommend using a Baking tray to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200ml of drinking water.

FREASY COOK

All the heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven. Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is especially recommended for cookingpre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are obtained if you use one cooking rack only.

USEFUL TIPS

docs.indesit.eu for more information

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook various different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.

COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME

The "Multilevel" function enables you to cook different foods (such as fish and vegetables) on different shelves at the same time. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.
