Indesit K 3G2/G User Manual

1 This appliance is intended for nonprofessional use within the home.
2 These instructions are only for those countries whose symbols appear in the

booklet and on the serial no. plate of the appliance.

4 Before using your appliance, read the instructions in this owner’s manual care-

fully since it provides all the information you need to ensure safe installation, use
and maintenance. Always keep this owner’s manual close to hand since you may
need to refer to it in the future.

5 When you have removed the packing, check that the appliance is not damaged.

If you have any doubts, do not use the appliance and contact your nearest
Ariston Service Centre. Never leave the packing components (plastic bags,
polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) within the reach of children since they are a source
of potential danger.

6 The appliance must be installed only by a qualified technician in

compliance with the instructions provided. The manufacturer
declines all liability for improper installation, which may result in
personal injury and damage to property.

7 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if

it is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance with regula-
tions on electrical safety. Always ensure that the earthing is ef-
ficient. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified technician to
check the system. The manufacturer declines all liability for dam-
age resulting from a system which has not been earthed.

8 Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that the

specifications indicated on the date plate (on the appliance and/
or packaging) correspond with those of the electrical and gas
systems in your home.

9 Check that the electrical capacity of the system and sockets will

support the maximum power of the appliance, as indicated on
the data plate. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified tech-
nician.

10 An omnipolar switch with a contact opening of at least 3 mm or

more is required for installation.

11 If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have the

socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified technician,
who should also check that the cross-section of the socket ca-
ble is sufficient for the power absorbed by the appliance. The
use of adaptors, multiple sockets and/or extensions, is not rec-
ommended. If their use cannot be avoided, remember to use
only single or multiple adapters and extensions which comply
with current safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed
the maximum current capacity indicated on the individual adap-
tor or extension and the maximum power indicated on the mul-
tiple adapter.

12 Do not leave the appliance plugged in if it is not in use. Switch

off the main switch and gas supply when you are not using the
appliance.

13 The openings and slots used for ventilation and heat dispersion

must never be covered.

14 The user must not replace the supply cable of this appliance. Always contact an

after-sales service centre which has been authorised by the manufacturer if the
cable has been damaged or needs replacement.

15 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it was expressly designed.

Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) is considered to be improper and conse-

quently dangerous. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage resulting
from improper and irresponsible use.

16 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appli-

ances. The following are of particular importance:
•

Do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet are
wet.

•

Do not use the appliance barefooted.

•

Do not use extensions, but if they are necessary, caution
must be exercised.

•

Never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to un-
plug the appliance plug from the mains.

•

Never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents
(rain, sun etc.)

•

Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with
the appliance to use it, without supervision.

17 Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the

main switch before cleaning or carrying out maintenance.

18 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type, remember

to make it unserviceable by unplugging the appliance from the
mains and cutting the supply cable. Also make all potentially
dangerous parts of the appliance safe, above all for children
who could play with the appliance.

19 To avoid accidental spillage do not use cookware with uneven

or deformed bottoms on the burners. Turn the handles of pots
and pans inwards to avoid knocking them over accidentally.

20 Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or gasoline, etc.

near the appliance when it is in use.

21 When using small electric appliances near the hob, keep the

supply cord away from the hot parts.

22 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”

” position when the appli-

ance is not in use.

23 When the appliance is in use, the heating elements and some

parts of the oven door become extremely hot. Make sure you
don’t touch them and keep children well away.

25 The glass top (only on certain models) can shatter if it is over-

heated. Therefore, all of the burners or hot plates must be turned
off before the top is closed.

26 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary

precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the pedestal
itself.

27 Warning: never place hot containers or items and

flammable materials inside the dishwarmer drawer.
