Indesit K6M40TS Operating Instructions Manual

Care and maintenance

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity

supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on

the appliance.

• 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 burners may 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.

• Clean the terminal part of the flame failure safety

devices* frequently.

• 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.

• 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 regularly. 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.

Only available in certain models.

Replacing the oven light bulb

one: voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap E 14.

3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the

electricity supply.

Gas tap maintenance

This procedure must be

lighting.

Assistance

! Never use the services of an unauthorised

technician.

Please have the following information to hand:

• The type of problem encountered.

• The appliance model (Mod.).

• The serial number (S/N).

The latter two pieces of information can be found on

the data plate located on the appliance.

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°C. 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.
