CONVENTIONAL For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.
MULTILEVEL For cooking different foods that require the
same cooking temperature on several shelves (maximum three) at the same time. This function can be used to cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to another.
XL COOKING For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg).
We recommend turning the meat over during cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We also recommend basting the joint every so often to prevent it from drying out excessively.
PIZZA For baking different types and sizes of pizza
and bread. It is a good idea to swap the position of the baking trays halfway through cooking.
GRILL For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages,
cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread. When grilling meat, we recommend using a Baking tray to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of drinking water.
GRATIN For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast
beef, chicken). We recommend using a Baking tray to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of drinking water.
ACCESSORIES Download the Use and Care Guide from docs . indesit . eu for more information WWW
WIRE SHELF DRIP TRAY (IF PRESENT) BAKING TRAY SLIDING SHELVES
The number and the type of accessories may vary depending on which model is purchased. Other accessories can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.
USING THE ACCESSORIES Insert the wire shelf onto the level you require by holding it tilted slightly upwards and resting the raised rear side (pointing upwards) down first. Then slide it horizontally along the shelf guide as far as possible. The other accessories, such as the baking tray, are
inserted horizontally by sliding them along the shelf guides. The shelf guides can be removed to facilitate the oven cleaning: pull them to remove from their seats. The sliding shelves can be removed or fitted on any level.
KEEP WARM For helping sweet or savoury dough to rise
effectively. To maintain the quality of proving, do not activate the function if the oven is still hot following a cooking cycle.
FREASY COOK All the heating elements and the fan come on,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven. Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is especially recommended for cookingpre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are obtained if you use one cooking rack only.
ECO FORCED AIR For cooking roasts and stuffed roasting joints
on a single shelf. Food is prevented from drying out excessively by gentle, intermittent air circulation. When this ECO function is in use, the light will remain switched off during cooking but can be switched on again by pressing .
HYDROCLEANING The action of the steam released during this
special low-temperature cleaning cycle allows dirt and food residues to be removed with ease. Pour 200 ml of drinking water on the bottom of the oven and use the function for 35 at 90C. Activate the function when the oven is cold and let it cool down for 15 once the cycle ends.
TURN & GO This function automatically selects an ideal
temperature and time for baking a wide range of recipes including meat, fish, pasta, sweets and vegetables. Activate the function when the oven is cold.

TROUBLESHOOTING Download the Use and Care Guide from docs . indesit . eu for more information WWW
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook various different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME The Multilevel function enables you to cook different foods (such as fish and vegetables) on different shelves at the same time. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking ti
