Download the Use and Care Guide from docs.indesit.eu for more information.

OFF

For switching off the oven.

LIGHT

For switching on the light in the compartment.

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only. It is advisable to place food on the 2nd level.

HYDROCLEANING

The action of the steam released during this special low-temperature cleaning cycle allows dirt and food residues to be removed with ease. Pour 200 ml of drinking water on the bottom of the oven and use the function for 35 minutes at 90°C. Activate the function when the oven is cold and let it cool down for 15 minutes once the cycle ends.

CONVECTION BAKE

For cooking meat or baking cakes with juicy fillings on a single shelf.

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 200 ml of drinking water.

GRATIN

For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast beef, chicken). 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 200 ml of drinking water.

DEFROSTING

For defrosting food more quickly.

USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing: this is completely normal.

Before starting to cook food, we therefore recommend heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any possible odours.

Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it.

Heat the oven to 250 °C for about one hour, preferably using the "Convection Bake" function. The oven must be empty during this time.

Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.

Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.

DAILY USE

1. SELECT A FUNCTION

To select a function, turn the selection knob to the symbol for the function you require.

2. ACTIVATE A FUNCTION

To start the selected function, turn the thermostat knob to set the desired temperature.

To interrupt the function at any time, switch off the oven, turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to O and

3. PREHEATING

Once the function has been activated, the thermostat LED will light up, indicating that the preheating process has begun.

At the end of this process, the thermostat LED switches off, indicating that the oven has reached the set temperature: at this point, place the food inside and proceed with cooking.

Please note: Placing food in the oven before preheating has finished may adversely affect the final cooking result.

4. SETTING THE TIMER

This option does not interrupt or activate cooking but allows you to use the display as a timer, both while a function is active and when the oven is off.

To activate the timer, turn the timer knob to the desired length of time: an acoustic signal will warn you when the countdown is finished.

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories, and level to use to cook 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-colored 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 "Convection Bake" 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.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Download the Use and Care Guide from docs.indesit.eu for more information

Do not use steam cleaning equipment.

Use protective gloves during all operations.

Carry out the required operations with the oven cold.

Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

INTERIOR SURFACES

• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, leave the

oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.

Activate the "Hydrocleaning" function for optimum cleaning of internal surfaces.

Simply remove the door by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards (a) at the same time until it is released from its seating (b).

Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.

1. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating.
2. Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position: make sure that you lower them down completely.
3. Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above.

CLICK&CLEAN - CLEANING THE GLASS

1. After removing the door and resting it on a soft surface with the handle downwards, simultaneously press the two retaining clips and remove the upper edge of the door by pulling it towards you.
