Assistance

! Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information concerning the safe installation and operation of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the instructions provided.
! Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be performed after the cooker has been disconnected from the electricity supply.

Room ventilation

The appliance may only be installed in permanentlyventilated rooms, according to current national legislation. The room in which the appliance is installed must be ventilated adequately so as to provide as much air as is needed by the normal gas combustion process (the flow of air must not be lower than 2m^3 /h per kW of installed power). The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct with an inner cross section of at least 100~cm^2 and should be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial obstruction (see figure A). These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a minimum of 200~cm^2 - whenever the surface of the hob is not equipped with a flame failure safety device. When the flow of air is provided in an indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see figure B), provided that these are not communal parts of a building, areas with increased fire hazards or bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with a ventilation duct leading outside as described above.

Fumes channelled through a chimney or branched flue system reserved for cooking appliances)

! The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms containing LPG cylinders must have openings leading outside so that any leaked gas can escape easily.

LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should be stored in the room; this should also be kept well away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys, stoves) that may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50^ .

Positioning and levelling

! It is possible to install the appliance alongside cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the hob surface.

! Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heat-resistant material (T 90^ ).

To install the appliance correctly:

  • Place it in the kitchen, dining room or the bed-sit (not in the bathroom).
  • If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the appliance must be installed at least 200 mm away from them.
  • If the cooker is installed underneath a wall cabinet, there must be a minimum distance of 420mm between this cabinet and the top of the hob. This distance should be increased to 700mm if the wall cabinets are flammable (see figure).

INDESIT KN3M51S IX - Positioning and levelling - 1

  • Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less than 200 mm away from its sides.
  • Any hoods must be installed according to the instructions listed in the relevant operating manual.

Levelling

INDESIT KN3M51S IX - Levelling - 1

If it is necessary to level the appliance, screw the adjustable feet into the places provided on each corner of the base of the cooker (see figure).

INDESIT KN3M51S IX - Levelling - 2

The legs* fit into the slots on the underside of the base of the cooker.

Electrical connection

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the appliance data plate (see Technical data table).

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with NFC 15-100 regulations (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable must be positioned so that it does not come into contact with temperatures higher than 50^ at any point.

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that:

  • The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
  • The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated by the data plate.
  • The voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data plate.
  • The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
  • Only available in certain models

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only.
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Gas connection

Connection to the gas network or to the gas cylinder may be carried out using a flexible rubber or steel hose, in accordance with current national legislation and after making sure that the appliance is suited to the type of gas with which it will be supplied (see the rating sticker on the cover: if this is not the case see below). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with current national regulations. To make connection easier, the gas supply may be turned sideways*: reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket that is supplied with the appliance.

! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values indicated in the Table of burner and nozzle specifications (see below). This will ensure the safe operation and durability of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption.

Gas connection using a flexible rubber hose

Make sure that the hose complies with current national legislation. The internal diameter of the hose must measure: 8 mm for liquid gas supply; 13 mm for methane gas supply.

Once the connection has been performed, make sure that the hose:

  • Does not come into contact with any parts that reach temperatures of over 50^ .
  • Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and that it is not kinked or bent.
  • Does not come into contact with blades, sharp corners or moving parts and that it is not compressed.
  • Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that its condition may be checked.
  • Is shorter than 1500 mm .
  • Fits firmly into place at both ends, where it will be fixed using clamps that comply with current regulations.

! If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or if the cooker must be installed according to the conditions listed for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances (installed between two cupboards), the flexible steel hose must be used instead (see below).

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment

Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with current national legislation.

To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on the appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance is a cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).

! Perform the connection in such a way that the hose length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres, making sure that the hose is not compressed and does not come into contact with moving parts.

Checking the connection for leaks

When the installation process is complete, check the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.

Adapting to different types of gas

It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas other than the default type (this is indicated on the rating label on the cover).

Adapting the hob

Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:

  1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their seats.

  1. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner (see figure), and replace them with nozzles suited to the new type of gas(see Burner and nozzle specifications table).

  2. Replace all the components by following the above

Adjusting the hob burners' minimum setting:

  1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.
  2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory screw, which is positioned inside or next to the tap pin, until the flame is small but steady.
    ! If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas supply, the regulatory screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.

  3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa several times, checking that the flame is not extinguished.

! The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.

Adjusting the gas oven burner's minimum setting:

  1. Light the burner (see Start-up and Use).
  2. Turn the knob to the minimum position (MIN) after it has been in the maximum position (MAX) for approximately 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the knob.
  4. Tighten or loosen the adjustment screws on the outside of the thermostat pin (see figure) until the flame is small but steady.

If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the adjustment screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.

Using the hob

Lighting the burners

For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing the strength of the flame for the relevant burner. To light one of the burners on the hob:

  1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
  2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the maximum flame setting .
  3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum setting , the maximum setting or any position in between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting

INDESIT KN3M51S IX - Lighting the burners - 1

device* (X), press the ignition button, marked with the symbol , then hold the BURNER knob down and turn it in an anticlockwise direction, towards the maximum flame setting, until the

burner is lit. The burner may be extinguished when the knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down for a longer period of time.

! If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.

If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device*(C), press and hold the BURNER knob for approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight and to activate the device.

To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position.

Electric hotplates*

The corresponding knob may be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise and set to six different positions:

SettingNormal or Fast Plate
0Off
1Low
2 - 5Medium
6High

When the selector knob is in any position other than the off position, the 'on' light comes on.

Practical advice on using the burners

For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner:

BurnerØ Cookware diameter (cm)
Fast (R)24 - 26
Semi Fast (S)16 - 20
Auxiliary (A)10 - 14

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the "Burner and nozzle specifications".

! For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter must be used only for the auxiliary burner, when pans with a diameter of less than 12 cm are used.

Using the oven

! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the appliance.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

  1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
  2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

  • Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
  • Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

  • Only available in certain models.

  • Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.
    ! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

Oven light

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other than "0". It remains lit as long

as the oven is operating. By selecting with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated.

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

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.

OVEN BOTTOM 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^) 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^ 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.

  • Only available in certain models.

INDESIT KN3M51S IX - OVEN TOP mode - 1

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.

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.

SettingNormal or Fast Plate
0Off
1Cooking vegetables, fish
2Cooking potatoes (using steam) soups, chickpeas, beans.
3Continuing the cooking of large quantities of food, minestrone
4For roasting (average)
5For roasting (above average)
6For browning and reaching a boil in a short time.

! 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.

Lower compartment*

There is a compartment underneath the oven that may be used to store oven accessories or deep

INDESIT KN3M51S IX - Lower compartment* - 1

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.

Disposal

  • When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
  • The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of reusing and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product.

All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.

Respecting and conserving the environment

  • You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
  • Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.
- It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
- The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
- The hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings and the hob burners can be removed to make cleaning easier; wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent, making sure all burnt-on residue is removed before drying them thoroughly.
- For hobs with electronic ignition, the terminal part of the electronic lighting devices should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes should be checked for blockages.
- The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
- Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.
- The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
- 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 remaining drops of water should also be dried.

The cover

INDESIT KN3M51S IX - The cover - 1

If the cooker is fitted with a glass cover, this cover should be cleaned using lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive products. It is possible to remove the cover in order to make cleaning the area behind the hob easier. Open the cover fully and pull it upwards (see figure).

! Do not close the cover when the burners are alight or when they are still hot.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest

Authorised After-sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.

Gas tap maintenance

Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.

! This procedure must be performed by a qualified technician who has been authorised by the manufacturer.

Replacing the oven light bulb

INDESIT KN3M51S IX - Replacing the oven light bulb - 1

  1. After disconnecting the oven from the electricity mains, remove the glass lid covering the lamp socket (see figure).
  2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar one: voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap E 14.

  3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the electricity supply.

Assistance

Please have the following information handy:

  • The appliance model (Mod.).
    The serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the data plate located on the appliance and/or on the packaging.

Catalitic Cleaning*

In some models, the most exposed internal vertical sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel, which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food. This "oxidation" of the fat particles occurs when the temperature of the sides exceeds 170^ . The porous quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the fats takes place.

If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after the cooking programme has ended, leave the empty oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90 minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside. The cleaning process for more stubborn food residues may be quickened by using hot water and a soft brush.
