Indesit HGK 2.B IX IB Manual de instruções de instalação e utilização
The various features of this oven are controlled via the
knobs and buttons located on the control panel.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air. The odour that is often detected dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.
Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom
shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from
dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling
food or when using the rotisserie (only available on cer-
tain models). For all other types of cooking, never use the
bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of
the oven when it is in operation because this could dam-
age the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, alu-
minium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appli-
ance inserted especially along the oven guides.
Notice: to use the oven in manual mode (not using the
end cooking time programmer), the
aligned with the reference mark on the control panel.
Convection Mode
Position of thermostat knob "E": between 60°C and Max.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come
on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has
been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and re-
duced energy consumption. The convection oven is still
unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of
several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style
cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice,
etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal
or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, gou-
lash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless re-
mains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit
and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven bak-
ing. When cooking in convection mode, only use one drip-
ping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat
distribution will be uneven. Using the different rack heights
available, you can balance the amount of heat between
the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among
the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs
more or less heat from the top.
Pastry Mode
Position of thermostat knob "E": Between 60°C and Max.
The bottom heating element comes on.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especially cakes that need to rise because the heat com-
ing from the bottom helps the leavening process.
Please note that it takes a considerable amount of time
for the higher temperatures to be reached, therefore we
recommend you use the "Convection Mode" in these
cases.

How to use your oven

"Top" Oven
Position of thermostat knob "E": Between 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cook-
ing.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob "E": Max
The top central heating element comes on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is
also highly recommended for dishes that require a high
temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
filets, hamburgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical Cook-
ing Advice" paragraph.
The rotisserie (only available on certain models)
To start the rotisserie, proceed as follows:
a) place the dripping pan on the 1st rack;
b) insert the special rotisserie support on the 3rd rack
and position the spit by inserting it through the special
symbol must be
hole into the rotisserie at the back of the oven;
c) start the rotisserie using knob "L" to select setting
The oven light
Set knob "L" to the
oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating
elements in the oven come on.
The control knobs for the hob electric hotplates (F)
The cookers can be equipped with standard, rapid and
automatic electric hotplates in a variety of combinations
(the rapid hotplates can be distinguished from the rest by
the red boss in the centre of the same, and the automatic
hotplates by the smaller circular aluminium plate in their
centre).
To avoid any heat loss and damage to the hotplates, we
advise you to use pans with a flat bottom, whose diameter
is no less than that of the hotplate itself.
The table contains the different settings indicated on the
knobs and the use for which the hotplates are
recommended.
