Frequently Asked Questions - IFVR 801 H OW INDESIT

How do I install the Indesit IFVR 801 H OW oven?

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the oven is connected to a 220-240 V supply with proper earthing. The oven should be placed in a cabinet with adequate ventilation. Refer to the installation manual for detailed dimensions.

How do I preheat the oven?

Turn the function knob to the desired mode and set the temperature using the thermostat knob. Wait until the thermostat indicator light turns off, indicating the oven has reached the set temperature. Typically preheating takes 10-15 minutes.

What oven functions are available?

The IFVR 801 H OW offers multiple functions: Conventional (top and bottom heat), Fan-assisted, Grill, Defrost, and Pizza mode. Each function is selected via the function knob.

How do I clean the oven?

Allow the oven to cool completely. Remove racks and trays. Clean the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive sponges. The oven door can be removed for easier cleaning. The enamel interior is designed for easy wiping.

What should I do if the oven does not heat?

Check the power supply: ensure the oven is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the timer is set (if applicable). If the problem persists, contact Indesit customer service. Do not attempt to repair the oven yourself.

Can I use metal utensils in the oven?

Yes, but avoid using aluminum foil directly on the oven floor. Metal trays and racks are safe. For microwave combination functions (if any), do not use metal. Always follow the accessory guidelines in the manual.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the oven from the power supply. Remove the glass cover by turning it counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a 25W/300°C halogen bulb (G9 base). Refit the cover and reconnect power.

Is the oven door child-safe?

Yes, the oven features a child lock function. To activate, press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds. The oven will not respond to other controls until the lock is deactivated. Refer to the manual for exact instructions.

What is the best way to cook pizza in this oven?

Use the Pizza function for optimal results. Preheat the oven at the highest temperature (usually 250°C). Place pizza directly on the rack or on a pizza stone. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

How do I set the clock on the oven?

Press the clock button. Use the +/- buttons to adjust the hour and minute. Confirm by pressing the clock button again. The clock is only used for display; it does not affect cooking functions unless you set a timer.

FUNCTIONS

OFF

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

HYDROCLEANING

(AVAILABLE ONLY ON CERTAIN MODELS)

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' at 90°C. Activate the function when the oven is cold and let it cool down for 15' once the cycle ends.

CONVECTION BAKE

To cook meat and pies with filling (savoury or sweet) on a single shelf, and pizzas on one or two shelves. This function delivers an even, golden, crisp top and base. When cooking on two levels, switch the position of dishes halfway through cooking to cook food more evenly.

GRILL

TURBOFAN

For food with a crisp base and soft top. Ideal for cooking cakes with liquid filling and no precooked base on a single shelf.

MULTILEVEL

BOTTOM

Use this function after cooking to brown the bottom of the dish. It is advisable to place the food on the 1st/2nd cooking level. The function can also be used for slow cooking.

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

2. ACTIVATE A FUNCTION

To start the function you have selected, turn the thermostat knob to set the temperature you require. To interrupt the function at any time, switch off the oven, turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to 0 and 1

3. PREHEATING

Once the function has been activated, the LED thermostat will switch on signalling that the preheating process has begun.

At the end of this process, the LED thermostat 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 the food in the oven before preheating has finished may have an adverse effect on the final cooking result.

USEFUL TIPS

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 plates. 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

Using the "Multilevel" function, you can cook different foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

Do not use steam cleaners.

Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

Wear protective gloves.

The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

- Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.

- 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.

• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent. • The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning

ACCESSORIES

Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.

REPLACING THE LAMP

1. Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
2. Unscrew the cover from the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light.
3. Reconnect the oven to the power supply.

Please note: Only use 20-40W/230 V type G9, T300°C halogen lamps. The bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009).

1. Close the door as much as you can.

Take a firm hold of the door with both hands - do not hold it by the handle.

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

Apply gentle pressure to check that the catches are in the correct position.
