INSTALLATION
Electrical Requirements
This equipment is designed specifically for domestic purposes and the Company cannot
accept responsibility if it is used in any other type of installation.
For your own safety, the Company recommends that the appliances are installed by a
competent person - such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council
for Electrical Installation Contracting). The cookers should be installed in accordance with
the Latest Edition of the IEE Regulations.
WARNING: - THESE APPLIANCES MUST BE EARTHED
Electrical Connections
The Installer must check that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds with the house
electricity supply. The oven must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a
contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible position to the unit.
The maximum loading for the oven is 4.9 kW.
If the oven is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind the oven providing
that following requirements are met:-
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25 mm,
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 130 mm above floor level.
Remove the terminal cover at the rear of the base of the oven. Pass the cable through the cable
clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided. Allow sufficient cable so that the oven can
be set down on the floor whilst still connected up. Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and
replace the terminal cover. Make the connections.
These appliances conform to BS. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and Television
reception interference.
Where a double oven is used a 32 amp double pole control switch should be used to feed the unit
using a suitably rated cable. Where a hob is fitted adjacent to an oven then a 45 Amp Double Pole
control switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cable. We recommend
minimum of 4mm2PVC insulated twin and earth cable conforming to BS 6004 for connection of
each appliance.
These appliances must not be installed over any other appliance that generates heat.
OVEN UNIT HOUSING CABINET
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated, i.e. having side, back
and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could prevent access to the oven unit
when installed. The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing unit
which must be secured.
a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with Fig. 4.
b. An air gap of 50 mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom cupboards or
shelves Fig. 1.
c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation i.e. from adjacent
cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of the cabinets using feet (or spacers) or
alternatively by providing a slot in the cabinet plinth to the dimensions shown in Fig. 1.

9 of 39
Service Manual UK
Indesit Company
English
d. The air gap at the rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet space but where
it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit it is essential that the warmed air is
exhausted through the front of the cabinet. Fig. 1 overleaf.
e. If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the oven when the
door is opened could condense on and perhaps stain the adjacent surface. To prevent
permanent staining the adjacent surface should be made of a material that is heat resisting and
easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.
FINAL INSTALLATION
a. Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side and from front to
back in its installed position.
b. Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet. Make sure that
the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.
c. Before the oven is fitted the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for stability.
d. The oven unit should now be lifted (requiring 2 people) into the cabinet and pushed fully home.
e. Finally the oven unit is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Pozi wash head screws, two
through each side trim.
f. Remove all packing material from the grill and oven interior.

THE OVEN MODES IN MORE DETAIL
The oven is equipped with a number of different cooking modes.
Manual Cooking Modes
All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value
between 30°C and 250°C for TOP OVEN, between 80°C and 230°C for MAIN OVEN, (for GRILL
mode - from 5% to 100%).
NOTE: - When the temperature in the oven has reached a certain level and the newly selected
temperature is lower than the temperature inside the oven, the text 'Hot' appears on the display.
However, it will still be possible to start cooking.
Conventional Heating (Top Oven)
With upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one shelf
only.
Variable Grilling (Top Oven)
The oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or half width fully controllable grill.
Note:- The Top Oven door should be fully open when grilling.
Traditional (Main Oven)
The upper and rear heating elements are switched on in this position. The traditional oven brings an
outstanding level of temperature distribution and reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use
only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By using the various shelf positions available you can
balance the quantity of heat between the upper and lower part. If cooking requires more heat from
below or above, use the lower or higher shelves respectively.
MULTILEVEL mode (Main Oven)
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.
LOW TEMPERATURE modes
This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the
required speed and slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options are: 40, 65 and 90.

17 of 39
Service Manual UK
Indesit Company
English
AUTOMATIC COOKING MODES
The temperature and the cooking duration are preset values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time
- automatically. These values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system.
The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. You may start
cooking whether the oven has been preheated or not. The cooking duration can be customised
according to personal taste by modifying the relevant value - before cooking begins - by ±5/20
minutes depending on the selected programme. The duration can however be modified even once
cooking has begun. If the temperature inside the oven is higher than the suggested value for the
selected mode, the text 'Hot' appears on the display and it will not be possible to begin cooking; wait
for the oven to cool.
When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven buzzer sounds.
Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking time and temperature.
BAKED CAKES mode
This function is ideal for cooking desserts which are made using natural yeast, baking powder and
desserts which contain no yeast. Place the dish in the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be
placed in a preheated oven.
BREAD mode
Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results, we recommend that you carefully observe
the instructions below:
• follow the recipe in the user instruction book;
• do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan;
• remember to pour 50 g (0,5 dl) of cold water into the baking tray in position 5.
• The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for 1 – 1½ hours (depending on the room
temperature) or until the dough has doubled in size.
The cooking temperature in this programme can be reduced to 1min.
FISH mode
Use this function to cook fish with a maximum weight of 1 kg. The paper/foil package can be placed
directly on the dripping pan. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.
BEEF mode
Use this function to cook beef, pork and lamb. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.
The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.
PLUM CAKE mode
This function is ideal for all tart recipes (which normally need to be heated well from underneath).
Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.
CHICKEN mode
This function is ideal for cooking chicken (whole or in pieces). Place the food inside the oven while it is
still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE
Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan assisted cooking. This is because excessive direct
heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
In the GRILL cooking mode, PLACE THE dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease).
MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

SOLARPLUS GRILL
MAXIMUM is the hottest setting and MINIMUM the coolest.
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE TOP OVEN/GRILL DOOR CLOSED - this
will cause overheating.
To operate the grill proceed as follows:
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Position the rod shelf as recommended in the chart in the user instruction book, for the food being
cooked.
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned centrally under the element.
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause overheating of fat in the grill pan.
Fixing the Grill Pan Handle
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external 'hooks' embrace the edge of the pan (Fig. 1).
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (Fig. 2)
and holds the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of smoke

TOP OVEN - CONVENTIONAL COOKING
The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is provided by the grill element and the element
under the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc.
but can also be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning.
The top oven can be used either independently to cook small quantities of food or in conjunction with
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
The shelf should be positioned on the first or second runner from the
bottom.
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.
To use the oven proceed as follows:
Select the top oven, by pressing the TOP OVEN/GRILL button .
Select desired program by pressing appropriate button.
It’s possible to change default temperature and default duration. To change the temperature press the
temperature button , set the desired temperature by pressing + or - button, confirm the selected
temperature by pressing thermometer button .
To change duration press the duration button , set the desired temperature by pressing + or - ,
acknowledge selected duration by pressing again the duration button .
Press start/stop button to start the cooking.
The food to be cooked should be placed in the centre of the shelf with a
gap of at least 25mm (1in) between it and the grill element. This should
avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
Platewarming in the Top Oven
Plates and dishes placed on shelf 1 of the top oven will be heated when the main oven is in use.
When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a meal is being cooked on the hob, place the
plates and serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner and turn the top oven control to
approximately 100°C.
A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is required to heat the plates and dishes.
NEVER operate the grill control when using the top oven for cooking or warming plates and dishes.
WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china or items which could be affected by heat into the
oven.
