Practical Cooking Advice - Indesit I6VMH2A/NL Mode D'emploi

Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This
GB
mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed
food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are
achieved using one cooking rack only.
MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch
on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains
constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns
food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may
be used at the same time.

PIZZA mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at
the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is
activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by
producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly
from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one
rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway
through the cooking process.
GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element is switched
on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires a high surface
temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and
entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of
energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food
in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly
if it is placed in the corners.

GRATIN
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) are activated and the fan begins to operate.
This combination of features increases the effectiveness
of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the
heating elements through forced circulation of the air
throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning
on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into
the food.
! The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be
performed with the oven door shut.
DEFROSTING mode
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or

mode
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of
meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the
process using the "multi-cooking" mode and setting the
t e m p e r a t u r e t o
BOTTOM VENTILATED mode
The bottom heating element and the fan is activated,
which allows for the heat distribution within the whole
cavity of the oven. This combination is useful for light
c o o k i n g o f v e g e t a b l e s
BOTTOM mode :
The lower heating element is activated. This position
is recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes
(in baking trays) which are already cooked on the
surface but require further cooking in the centre, or
for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which only
require moderate colouring on the surface. It should
be noted that this function does not allow the maximum
temperature to be reached inside the oven (250°C)
and it is therefore not recommended that foods are
cooked using only this setting, unless you are baking
cakes (which should be baked at a temperature of
1 8 0 ° C o r

Practical cooking advice

! In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan in
position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the
centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum.
The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat
and may not always operate constantly.
PIZZA
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack
provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it
prevents the crust from forming by extending the total
cooking time.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
