Indesit K6 C51: Pratical advice for using the electric plates

Cooking Pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan

assisted “   mode:

•

Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;

•

Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid

supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this

will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a

crispy crust;

•

Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza

is cooking;

•

If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we

recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top

halfway through the cooking process.

•

When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and

4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the pizzas

in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10

minutes.

The control knobs for the hob electric hotplates (N)

The cookers can be fitted with normal and rapid 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). To avoid any heat loss and damage to

the hotplates, we advise you to use pans with a flat bottom,

with a diameter which matches that of the hotplate itself. The

table contains the different settings indicated on the knobs

and the use for which the hotplates are recommended.

Cooking Fish and Meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature

settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.

For red meat that should be well done on the outside while

tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with

a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,

then turn the oven down afterwards.

In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature

setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place

the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.

Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre

of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of

heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury

roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat

with lard or bacon on the top.

Electric hotplate indicator light (H)

This light comes on when any of the electrical hotplates on a

hob which features electric hotplates have been turned on.
