Indesit KDP60C S Operating Instructions Manual

Main Oven Cookery Notes

The oven is fitted with wirework shelf supports and two

rod shelves.

To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting

the require temperature between 80°C (176°F) and

230°C (450°F) as recommended in the temperature

chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and

remain on until the oven reaches the required

temperature. This light will then automatically go off

and on during cooking as the oven thermostat

maintains the correct temperature.

It should be noted that at the end of the cooking

period there may be a momentary puff of steam when

the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few

seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an

oven with a good door seal.

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly,and

generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a

conventional oven, pre-heating is often

unnecessary.However, foods such as bread,

scones,Yorkshire pudding,do benefit from being

placed in a pre-heated oven.

The 'oven temperature charts' are a guide only, giving

approximate cooking temperatures and times.To suit

personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary

to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C.

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should

be placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If

food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested

cooking time should be reduced, depending on the

type and quantity of food being cooked.

Oven positions

Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven

is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any

shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly

spaced.

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven

when cooking large quantities of food. Additional

shelves can be purchased through your oven supplier

or our Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back

page).

Food or utensils should Never be placed directly

an the floor of the oven for cooking.

Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air

circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven

circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x

300mm (15"x12") and baking trays no larger than 330

x 255mm (13"x 10"), these should be positioned

centrally on the oven shelf.

Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the

oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves

which are not in use, should be removed from the

oven.

Temperature and time

When all three shelves are used to cook large

quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may

be necessary to increase the cooking times given in

the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for

the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the

oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays

should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.

Frozen meat and poultry

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted

slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing

5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room temperature

(allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).
