Using the cooker

The various features of cooker may be controlled using the knobs and buttons located on the control panel.

Warning: before using the oven and grill for the first time, leave it to heat up for approximately 30 minutes. Check that the oven is empty, the thermostat is set to maximum, the door is shut and that the room is well-ventilated. The oven may emit a slightly unpleasant odour during this time due to the evaporation of the protective substances applied to the oven and grill at the end of the manufacturing process.

Warning: Only use the lowest shelf when cooking with the turnspit (if provided). Never use the lowest shelf for any other type of cooking, and never place any objects on the bottom of the oven while it is operating, as this could damage the enamel coating. Always place cookware (dishes, aluminium trays, etc.) on the rack provided, ensuring the rack is correctly positioned using the guide rails inside the oven.

Oven control knobs

The “5-programme” oven combines the advantages of a traditional “static” oven with those of a modern “fan-assisted” oven.

The “5-programme” oven is extremely versatile and offers 5 different cooking modes that are both simple and safe. Use the knobs to select the different cooking functions offered by the “5-programme” oven.

N - Programme selector knob

M - Thermostat knob

If the selector knob is in any other position than the off position (marked with "o"), the oven light will illuminate; if the knob is turned to the position the light may be switched on without any of the heating elements being activated. The position marked with the 8 symbol enables the light to be switched on without any of the heating elements being activated. When the oven light is on, this shows that the oven is in use; the light will remain on until the oven is switched off.

"Defrosting" programme

Turn the thermostat knob "M": to any position

The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-temperature air around the food. This programme is suitable for defrosting any type of food, especially delicate items that should not be heated, for example: ice-cream cakes or cakes made with custard, cream or fruit. The defrosting time will be approximately halved. When defrosting meat, fish or bread, the process may be accelerated by using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting a temperature between 80°C and 100°C.

Static oven

Position the thermostat knob "M": Between 50°C and Max.

This position activates both the top and bottom heating elements. This is the classic traditional oven that has been modified to ensure an exceptional level of heat distribution while limiting the amount of energy consumed. The static oven remains unsurpassed in the cooking of dishes with ingredients consisting of two or more elements, which are combined to make a single dish, for example: cabbage with pork ribs, Spanish-style dried cod, Ancona-style stockfish, tender veal with rice, etc... This cooking mode is the best way of cooking beef or veal-based dishes, for example: braised meat, stews, goulash, game meat, pork leg and loin, etc... as these must be cooked slowly, with liquid added regularly. It is also the best way of cooking deserts, fruit and dishes that require covered recipients designed for use in the oven. When using the oven in static mode, use only one shelf (using more than one shelf may adversely affect heat distribution). By using the different shelves available, the heat distribution between the top and bottom of the oven may be balanced as desired. If a dish requires more heat at the top or bottom of the oven, use the lower or upper shelves respectively.

Fan-assisted oven

Turn the thermostat knob "M": Between 50°C and Max.

The heating elements and the fan are activated. Because the heat is distributed evenly throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. You may also cook different dishes at the same time, provided that the cooking temperatures are similar. It is possible to use a maximum of 2 racks at the same time, following the instructions given in the paragraph entitled "Cooking on several shelves simultaneously".

This function is particularly suitable for cooking dishes “au gratin”, or for dishes requiring a reasonably long cooking time, for example: lasagne, pasta bake dishes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc... There are substantial advantages to this mode when cooking roast meats, as the improved temperature distribution enables lower temperatures to be set, thus reducing the amount of juices that escape from the meat, making it less likely to shrink in the oven and more tender to eat. The fan-assisted mode is particularly useful when cooking fish, which can be cooked in this way with a minimal amount of liquid added, therefore maintaining its original taste and appearance.

Dessert: this mode is completely safe to use when cooking leavened cakes.

The “fan-assisted” function may also be used for defrosting red or white meat or bread quickly, by setting the temperature to 80^ C. To defrost more delicate foods, set the temperature to 60^ C or use the cold air circulation by setting the temperature knob to 0^ C.

"Top" oven | —

Turn the 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 the thermostat knob "M": Between 50°C and Max. The central top heating element and the turnspit will be 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. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high surface temperature: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc...

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical cooking advice” section.

Fan-assisted Grill

Position the thermostat knob "M": Between 50°C and Max.

The central top heating element and the fan will be activated. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are obtained by using the fan-assisted grill to cook mixed meat and vegetable kebabs, sausages, pork ribs, lamb cutlets, spicy chicken, sage-dressed quail, pork fillet etc...

Cook dishes "au gratin" in this mode with the oven door

closed.

"Gratin" is the best way of cooking sliced perch, tuna, swordfish, stuffed squid, etc...

The turnspit

To activate the turnspit, follow the instructions below:

a) Place the dripping pan on the 1st rack.
b) Position the rotisserie support on the 3rd rack and insert the spit towards the rear, threading it through the hole provided.
c) Start the rotisserie by turning knob "N" to the |W| position.

INDESIT K3 C55 MCXR - The turnspit - 1

natural_image Line drawing of an oven with a handle and internal structure, no text or symbols present

Oven light

This is switched on by turning knob "N" to the 🔔 symbol. The oven lights up and remains lit as long as any of the electric heating elements of the oven are in operation.

Thermostat indicator light (L)

This indicates the heating-up phase of the oven; as soon as the inside of the oven reaches the set temperature the light switches off. At this point the indicator light will switch on and off intermittently; this shows that the thermostat is operating correctly in order to maintain a constant temperature inside the oven.

The electronic timer (Q)

Warning

Keep children away from the oven door as it can become extremely hot when the oven is in operation.

This function displays the time and works as a timer which counts down to zero.

Note: all functions will be implemented approximately 7 seconds after they have been set.

Resetting the clock

After the appliance has been connected to the power supply, or after a power cut, the clock display will automatically reset to 0:00 and begin to blink.

- Press button and then buttons _ and _ to set the exact time. Press and hold the buttons to quicken the count upwards.

Any necessary modifications can be made by repeating the above process.

Timer feature

This function may be accessed by pressing the button, after which the display will show the symbol “.” Every time the button is pressed it corresponds to a time increase of 10 seconds, until it reaches 99 minutes and 50 seconds. After this point, each press of the button represents an increase of one minute, up to a maximum of 10 hours.

Pressing the _ button reduces the time.

After the time period has been set, the timer will begin to count down. When the timer reaches zero, the buzzer will sound (this may be stopped by pressing any button).

The time may be displayed by pressing the button, and the " " symbol indicates that the timer function has been set. After approximately 7 seconds, the display will automatically revert to the timer.

Cancelling a time that has already been set

Press the _ button until the display shows 0·00.

Adjusting the buzzer volume

After selecting and confirming the clock settings, use the _ button to adjust the volume of the alarm buzzer.

Practical cooking advice

The oven offers a wide range of options, enabling each food to be cooked in the most suitable way. It takes time to understand how to get the best out of this versatile appliance, therefore the notes below are only intended as a set of guidelines, which may then be expanded as you gain more personal experience.

Baking cakes

The oven must be preheated when a cake is placed inside; wait for the preheating phase to finish (approximately 10-15 minutes). Cooking temperatures for cakes vary between 160^ C and 200^ C. Do not open the door while you are baking a cake as this could cause it to collapse.

Cake is too dry

Next time you bake a cake, set the temperature 10^ C higher and reduce the cooking time.

Cake collapses

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10^ C.

Cake is burnt on to

Place it on a lower rack, set a lower temperature and extend the cooking time.

Cooked well on the outside, but sticky in the centre

Use less liquid, reduce the temperature and increase the cooking time.

Cake sticks to the mould

Grease the mould well and dust with a little flour, or use baking paper.

Having used several rack positions (in the “fan-assisted” mode), not all the cakes are cooking at the same rate

Set a lower temperature.

Racks inserted at the same time should not necessarily be taken out at the same time.

Cooking fish and meat

Use low temperatures when cooking white meat, game and fish. (150°C-175°C). If you wish red meat to be cooked well on the outside but juicy on the inside, start with a high temperature (200-220°C) for a short time and then reduce it. As a general rule, the more meat there is, the lower the temperature and the longer the cooking time should be. Place the meat in the centre of the rack and position a container underneath to collect drops of fat. Place the rack in the centre of the oven. If the cooking method requires more heat coming from below the meat, use the lowest shelf.

Cooking on several shelves simultaneously

Whenever it is necessary to use two racks, only use the “fan-assisted oven” function, which is really the only option available when cooking in this manner.

- The oven has 5 different rack positions. Only use the two central positions when cooking in the fan-assisted mode:

the outer rack positions (higher and lower) receive more direct heat and more delicate foods may burn.

  • In general, use the second and fourth rack positions (when counting from the bottom of the oven upwards), placing the food that needs more heat on the second rack position. For example: if you wish to cook a roast with another type of food, put the roast on the second rack position and the more delicate food on the fourth.
  • When cooking foods that require different cooking times and temperatures, set the temperature to a value halfway between the two recommended values and place the more delicate food on the fourth rack position. Remove the food that needs less cooking time first.
  • Place the dripping pan on the lowest rack position and the grill on the highest.
  • When cooking pizzas on more than one rack with the temperature set to 220°C, remember to preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes. Generally, cooking on the fourth rack takes longer; for this reason it is advisable to remove the pizza on the lower shelf first, leaving the other pizza inside for a few minutes.

Using the grill

The oven offers two different grilling methods: Use the "top oven" function for small items. The energy consumption for this mode is only 1200 W. It is therefore ideal for grilling smaller dishes: for example toast, hot dogs, etc.

Position the food in the centre of the grill, as only the central part of the top heating element will be switched on in this mode. Food placed at the corners of the grill will not be cooked.

The “grill” position enables the whole surface of the grill to be used. Use this mode when there is a uniform distribution of food and you wish to brown the top of the food evenly.

Important: To obtain the best results and to save energy (approximately 10%), always keep the oven door closed when using the grill function.

When using the grill function, we recommend that you set the thermostat to its maximum value. However, this does not mean that you cannot use lower temperatures.

When using the grill function, position the grill on the highest shelf (see cooking advice table) and place the dripping pan underneath it to collect any drips of fat.

The “Fan-assisted grill” position is extremely useful for grilling foods quickly as it distributes the heat emitted by the grill, allowing the surface of the food to brown while the inside is actually being cooked. It enables large pieces of meat or poultry to be grilled without using the turnspit. It can also be used in the final part of the cooking process for dishes that require a little browning on the surface, for example it is an ideal way of browning the top of a baked pasta dish after it has been cooked.

When cooking in this mode place the grill on the 2nd or 3rd rack position from the bottom of the oven (see cooking advice table), then position a dripping pan on the lowest shelf to collect drips of fat and avoid the formation of smoke. By using this mode in conjunction with the spit (selected models only) it is possible to cook dishes in the dripping pan on the lowest shelf, for example: potatoes, etc...

Instructions for using glass ceramic hobs

To obtain the best possible results from your hob, follow a few simple rules when preparing or cooking food.

- All types of saucepan or frying pan can be used on glass ceramic hobs. However, the base of the pan must be perfectly flat. Of course, the thicker the base of the saucepan or frying pan, the more evenly heat will be distributed.

INDESIT K3 C55 MCXR - Instructions for using glass ceramic hobs - 1

natural_image Three identical line-drawn icons of cooking pots with crossed x marks, no text or symbols present.

- Make sure that the base of the pan completely covers the ring: this enables all the emitted heat to be used.

INDESIT K3 C55 MCXR - Instructions for using glass ceramic hobs - 2

natural_image Three schematic symbols showing crossed-out electrical components on a surface, no text or labels present

• Always make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry: this not only guarantees optimal contact between the base of the pan and the hob, but also means they will suffer less wear and tear and ultimately last longer.
- Do not use pans that have been used on gas burners, as the heat from this type of burner can distort the base of the pan, which, if then used on a glass ceramic hob, will be less effective than a pan with a completely flat base.

Practical advice on using the cooking zones

Control knobs for the cooking zones on the hob (I)

Cookers may be fitted with a series of rapid and automatic cooking zones in various combinations (rapid cooking zones may be distinguished from the others by a red spot in the centre while the automatic zones have an aluminium disc in the centre).

To avoid heat loss and damage to the cooking zones, use cookware with a flat base, whose diameter is no smaller than that of the cooking zone itself.

The table shows the relationship between the position of the knobs and the type of cooking recommended for cooking zones.

Routine maintenance and cleaning

Disconnect the oven from the electricity supply before cleaning it or carrying out any maintenance work. Clean the oven thoroughly and regularly in order to increase its durability, following the instructions below:

  • Do not use steam cleaners on the appliance.
  • The enamel-coated parts and self-cleaning panels should be washed in hot water. Do not use abrasive powder detergents or corrosive substances as these could damage the finish.

- The inside of the oven should be cleaned at regular intervals while it is still warm, using hot water and detergent then rinsing and drying it thoroughly.

- Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive detergents containing phosphorus. After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any water spills should also be dried.

- Prevent a build-up of dirt and grease on the control panel by cleaning it frequently. Use a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth to avoid scratching the shiny steel or enamel-coated parts.

Cleaning the surface of the hob

The surface of the hob should be cleaned with a damp cloth before cooking to remove dust or food residues. The surface of the hob should be cleaned regularly with a solution of warm water and light detergent. It may occasionally be necessary to use a special glass ceramic cleaning product. First remove all food and grease spills using a window scraper, preferably a razor blade-type scraper (not supplied) or, failing that, a fixed razor blade type scraper.

Then clean the hob with a paper towel and a suitable detergent while it is still hot to touch. Lastly, rinse the hob thoroughly and dry it with a clean cloth. If a piece of plastic or aluminium

foil accidentally melts on the surface of the hob, remove it from the hot cooking zone immediately using a scraper in order to avoid damaging the surface. If any sugar (or sugary food) is spilt on the hob, follow the above instructions. Do not use steel wool or any type of abrasive sponge. Do not use corrosive cleaning products such as oven cleaning sprays or stain removers.
