Indesit KD3C3-G Operating Instructions Manual

1. Control Panel

Hotplate

CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE

SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT

THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE

S U P P L Y .

Under no circumstances should the hob be used

with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as

damage can occur.

The following boiling plates are located beneath the

decorative circular patterned cooking areas:-

Front left 6 heat: 1200W

Rear left 6 heat: 1700W

Rear right 6 heat: 1200W

Front right 6 heat: 1700W

The cooking areas change colour when heated

(become red) indicating which heating element is

switched on. The cooking area returns to its original

colour when the heating element is switched Off.

Warning: Even though the cooking area has

returned to its original colour it may still be

hot. The controls for the hotplates can be

turned in either direction.

Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the

heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control

to a lower setting according to the size of the

saucepan and the amount of liquid.

Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the

panel when cooking is finished and before serving

food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating

element switched on without a pan in position as this

wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from

aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect

elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have

been incorporated with each element. After several

minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cut-

out switches the element Off

thus preventing any adverse effects that may be

caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the

cooking area.

Use of Hotplates

Note: Under no circumstances should the

hob be used with aluminium foil in contact

with the hob surface.

Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To cook more

slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting

according to the size of the saucepan and the

amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are

specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking

and simmering.

Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without

a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten

the life of the hotplate.

CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE

This is provided only as a guide – settings also

depend on the type of pan used and the quality of

food.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely

cover the appropriate heating area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the

heating or cooking period.

4. Never try to fry too much food at a time,

especially frozen food. This only lowers the

temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in

greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and

lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods,

in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if

added to quickly.

6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from

streaks of oil or fat.
