Gas stove "Indesit" with gas oven

Peculiarities

The famous brand from Italian craftsmen is extremely popular in the Russian domestic market, the reasons are natural and easily explained: Indesit is not just household appliances, but an indispensable assistant in the kitchen. Its features are as follows:

The monolithic structure is made of high-quality steel coated with enamel, which indicates the high reliability and durability of the product. Corrosion protection for models comes first.
The double glass on the door is not heated by hot air from the depths of the oven, so if you accidentally touch it, you will not burn your hand. This is especially true for young children, who are very curious and should try everything with their little hands.
Attractive design - the oven is equipped with powerful lighting, allowing you to observe the process.
The top panel is made of materials that are quite resistant to mechanical stress, and the grid is designed for convenient placement of dishes.

The Indesit gas stove has peculiar nuances:

control over the consumption of blue fuel is installed near all burners: if the flame suddenly goes out, the automation instantly blocks the flow of gas;
electric ignition allows you not to constantly think about matches or special lighters, and elite models are equipped with an electronic system: the user only needs to turn on the gas supply, and it is ignited automatically;
There is a grill in the oven, and it comes with a spit.

"Indesit KN3G21S(X)"

This model is considered quite expensive. This is largely due to the presence of an electronic display. It also provides high-quality gas control, which monitors the temperature of the burners and oven. This stove is equipped with a special timer. Unlike other models, it is set simply and is able to warn a person in advance about the readiness of the dish. There is also an indicator that displays the thermostat readings. The guide plates are standard and work properly. You can also note a rather voluminous compartment in which you can store a lot of dishes. Additionally, the set includes a deep baking tray in which you can cook various meat dishes in the sleeve. A grate and spit are also included in the standard set of the stove. Among other things, gas heating zones can be distinguished. Electric ignition for a gas stove is carried out with a button in a convenient place. The hob lid is made of thick glass, so it is completely safe.

Additionally, you can highlight high-quality grilles on top, which are covered with enamel. The largest burner has a power of 3000 W, and the smallest one has a power of 1900 W. There are no mode functions in this model. The total volume of the oven is 58 liters. There is also the possibility of grilling. Convection is also available. The inner coating of the stove is made of enamel, so it does not affect human health. Among the shortcomings is the lack of a temperature indicator. The backlight is installed and will be very useful in the dark. There are no telescopic guides, but there is a special oven function for grilling. There is also a mode for baking. The material from which the “KN3G21S(X)” plates are made is stainless steel. The dimensions of this Indesit gas stove with grill are quite average, and they are perfect for small kitchens. The height of the model is 85 cm, while the width and depth are 50 cm.

Housewives often use a gas stove oven at home. The dishes in it turn out to be very healthy and tasty. Probably every home has a gas oven. How to use it? This information is in the operating instructions.

Experts attribute the human factor to the disadvantages of this technology, due to which defects or poor build quality can occur, but such nuances are quite rare and only in budget products.

Some nuances of using stoves of various brands

If, after following the recommendations described above, it was still not possible to light the oven of a gas stove, then the problem may be a malfunction of the stove or individual functional elements. Since gas equipment is potentially dangerous, immediate fault detection and repair are required.

Owners of devices from brands such as Greta, Darina, Gorenje may encounter difficulty in lighting during operation. When you turn on and press the relay, the burner lights up, but when you release it, it stops. This moment occurs as a result of prolonged use when the thermostat fails.

.
Due to the breakdown, it does not detect the temperature in the cabinet, so the fire goes out immediately. Another common problem that consumers encounter is the gas control contacts coming off
in the oven. Most often it occurs in slabs of the Indesit and Hephaestus brands.

first announced itself back in 1930. The founder of the famous company is considered to be the young entrepreneur Aristide Merlon. The Indesit factory was located in the city of Fabriano (Italy). Aristide Merlon's initial focus was on the production of scales. Soon the Second World War began, and the company's business went downhill. At this time, a great economic crisis reigned throughout the country, and the purchasing power of the Italian population was extremely low. During these terrible years, Aristide Merlon lost his factory and had to start all over again.

How to choose

Before choosing a stove, you need to get acquainted with its main differences, because the quality of the unit depends on them.

Burner type

Externally, the burners are practically the same, with the exception of the WOK type, which have two or three rows of flame. All burners on any stove have almost the same dimensions: the first row consists of a large one (diameter 100 mm) and a small one (50 mm), and the second row consists of two medium-sized ones (75 mm). The power range varies from 1 to 3 kW.

A special grate for kitchen utensils is installed above the burners - in the budget class it is made of metal, and in expensive models it is made of cast iron, which guarantees a longer service life due to low deformation and resistance to high temperatures. All products are equipped with automatic ignition or gas control; expensive models have electronic ignition equipment that operates in automatic mode.

Hob coating

Basically, this is an enamel coating, but of very high quality, applied with a special method that guarantees the absence of microcavities and porosity, where dirt can subsequently accumulate. When cleaning the stove, no special detergents are required, the main thing is that they do not contain abrasive particles.

In expensive models, the following materials are used for the hob - stainless steel or especially strong glass.

Oven

Its functionality does not differ from standard devices:

lower burners are used to prepare almost all types of dishes;
the top gas supply helps to better bake the dish and give it a fragrant, golden brown crust;
a grill not only helps to roast meat or poultry, but also gives it a special taste; there are devices of small and large area, and sometimes a turbo version.

These features are necessarily specified in the instructions accompanying any model.

Additional features

In addition to the basic options in the design of Indesit slabs, which significantly affect the performance and efficiency of the product, the engineering department installs a clock and a timer equipped with a melodious sound signal to assist users. In addition, there is a display that shows all the necessary parameters of the unit and a special drawer where kitchen utensils are stored.

Slab characteristics

There is a thermometer as well as a large gas heating zone. The hob lid is made of glass. The grilles on top are completely enameled. The power of the burners is quite high: in the front they are 55 and 100 mm each with a power of more than 3000 W, on the rear panel the power of the burner does not exceed 1900 W, and their size is exactly 75 mm. One of the disadvantages of this model is the lack of temperature measurement functions. The useful volume of the oven is 58 liters. Grill, as well as convection, are completely absent. However, this model does not have a timer, so you won’t be able to select the exact cooking time. To clean the stove, you need to select a special product that is suitable for enamel. The internal coating of the equipment is fully protected. There is no backlight, which is a little disappointing. Also, the manufacturers did not provide telescopic guides. In general, the oven is suitable for baking, since it has quite good bottom heating. The color of this model is white. The size of the stove is slightly different from the dimensions of previous devices: the height is 85 cm, the width is only 50 cm, and the depth is already 60 cm. Thus, it is not recommended to take this stove to small kitchens. It is much easier to find a more compact option.

Rating of the best models

All Indesit stove models have burners of the same diameter and power on the top panel: the first row is 55 mm, 1.0 kW and 100 mm, 3 kW, the second row is two 75 mm each, 1.9 kW.

Indesit KN1G21S(X)

Advantages: gas control, grill with spit, piezo ignition, there is a timer with a sound signal. One of the disadvantages is that there is no blocking from child intervention.

Expert opinion

Mikhailova Maria Vasilievna

Furniture store manager. Knows everything about comfort and interior design

Cost from 15.1 thousand ₽, compact, classic design with enamel coating of the entire body and hob, dimensions 500x500x850 mm. 50 liter oven, lighting, grill, maximum heating up to 250°C.

Excellent quality of materials and workmanship, automatic burner combustion control, electric ignition - no need to think about matches, the timer will notify you when the food is ready in the oven, and you get the perfect crust on pies, meat and poultry. The oven regulator shows the temperature, not the numbers: very convenient.

There are no disadvantages, except for the child lock.

Indesit I5GG0C (W)

Average cost 16.1 thousand rubles, dimensions 500x600x850 mm, weight 40.7 kg, stainless steel hob, cast iron grate, 58 l oven, electric ignition of all burners and oven, mechanical gas supply adjustment, rotary switches.

I was pleased with the electric ignition of the oven and its multifunctional operation; when using the grill, the door must be kept ajar, with the installation of protection for the gas burner switches, the timer will turn off the gas in time and notify you when it is ready. Convection is a very useful thing in properly preparing delicacies.

Indesit I5GSH0AG (X)

The model is sold at an average price of 19.85 thousand rubles, the hob is made of stainless steel, has electric ignition, dimensions 600x600x850 mm, electric oven volume 56 liters. There is a timer with a sound signal and a grill; at the bottom of the product there is a compartment for frying pans.

I was pleased with the build quality of the stove, and the electric oven is a rather rare combination, but this does not affect the quality of cooking. The backlight helps you visually monitor the process, and double glass protects your hands from burns if accidentally touched.

Oven functions

If the oven does not have a “Grill” mode, then an equally tasty dish can be obtained using universal heating. When large pieces of meat or fish are baked, you need to control the process during cooking. The pieces should be watered with the released juice.

In addition to the classic method, you can bake dishes in the oven using an artificial shell, such as foil or a bag. The first material is used for cooking meat, fish, and vegetables. If foil is used, it is important to follow a simple rule: the shiny surface should be turned toward the dish, and the matte surface should be turned outward.

The bag is great for baking a dish along with a side dish, you just need to make holes in its walls in advance. This procedure allows you to cook food juicy and soft. You can cook porridge and soup in the oven, which gives the dish a wonderful taste.

Varieties

The Indesit company offers consumers three types of stoves for the kitchen.

Fully gas

The Indesit gas stove with gas oven runs on mains gas; most models are equipped with automatic ignition and a thermocouple (a safety system that shuts off the gas supply if the burner goes out). A small drawback of a gas oven is that heating occurs only from below, and it is not always possible to bake lush pies.

Gas stove Indesit

If the choice is still made in favor of a gas unit, but you want to bake pies and buns in the oven, then you should carefully study what the instructions say for the Indesit gas stove with a gas oven, and choose one with a grill and top heating (some models have such additional functions).

Fully electric

An electric stove from the manufacturer Indesit is suitable for a kitchen where there is no gas pipeline. The electric oven heats up evenly and is ideal for baking. For the convenience of housewives, the oven is equipped with a timer that allows you to program temperature conditions. The disadvantage of electric stoves is that electricity costs more than gas.

Electric stove Indesit

Mixed option

This could be an Indesit gas stove with an electric oven or, in addition to gas ones, the unit also has electric burners. This stove is considered the best option in homes where the gas is often turned off - electric burners will help cook food.

As for the oven, baking is much better in an electric oven than in a gas oven. The disadvantage of the model is that during installation it is necessary to make a special connector for connecting the power supply.

You can see what these types of slabs look like in the photo.

Methods for determining temperature

How to determine the temperature in a gas oven? It is important to know how this procedure is performed in order to prepare the dish correctly. You need to throw a little flour on a baking sheet

If it turns rosy, then the temperature is about 230 degrees. The golden color indicates an indicator of 170. When the flour does not change for a long time, the temperature is about one hundred degrees.

To be able to determine the temperature, you need to purchase a special thermometer. It is also measured by another method - a piece of paper. It should be placed on the bottom of the oven. If the leaf turns yellow slowly, the temperature is set to medium, and if the leaf turns brown quickly, the temperature is set to high.

Review of popular models

Manufacturer Indesit offers a wide range of gas, electric and combined stoves. But how to choose the right option among this variety? First of all, read the instructions for the model, which indicate the operating rules and list additional functions (grill, electric ignition).

It is worth considering the most popular Indesit models:

Terms of use

Before preparing food, you must familiarize yourself with the instructions for using the appliance. Operating instructions for a gas oven are included with each piece of equipment. If you take into account all the nuances, the equipment will serve for a very long time.

How to properly use a gas oven when baking? To do this, you need to follow a few simple recommendations:

there should be no kitchen utensils inside the cabinet during cooking; only a wire rack can be in it;
Before cooking, you need to set the required level, and then it should not be changed;
you need to preheat the oven, and for this 10 minutes are enough, after which you can prepare the dish;
During cooking, you should not open the door often so that a lot of heat does not escape.

Many homes use a gas oven. Simple instructions will help you on how to use it. Compliance with all rules will allow you to use the equipment safely.

Tips for choosing a model

How to buy a functional Indesit stove and save money is the most pressing question for most middle-income people. The tips below will help with this:

Functionality . The set of functions depends on the intended use of the kitchen unit. After all, there is no need to buy a combined model with an electric oven if a person does not intend to bake and there are no interruptions in the gas supply.
Safety. It is not advisable to save money here. The presence of a thermocouple will be an additional safety measure if the burner goes out (the video shows the principle of operation of a thermocouple).
Availability of electric ignition. You can also turn on a gas burner using matches, but electric ignition is more convenient, and it does not exclude the use of flint lighters or matches during a power outage.

Having decided on the characteristics and type of Indesit slab, you can go shopping.

Gas stove Indesit

Some general recommendations

When purchasing a stove from the Indesit brand or from another manufacturer, there is no way to turn on the unit in the store and check how it works, so when purchasing you need to pay attention to the external inspection:

Burners. It is better to take equipment with burners of different sizes (they provide different modes for cooking).
Oven. If you do not plan to bake pies or prepare complex dishes, then you can limit yourself to the standard option for gas ovens - with bottom heating. It is also worth paying attention to the frying chamber door: it should be made of durable glass to ensure safety.
Additional options. Grill, top and bottom heating of the oven, gas control and timers (the photo shows timers for gas and electric ovens) - all this makes cooking more convenient. If you plan to cook a lot in the oven, then you should pay attention to the additional functions of the unit.

Electric and gas stoves from the manufacturer Indesit are easy to use, and at an affordable price you can always choose a convenient and functional model.

A stove that spoils baked goods……..

I don’t know why my opinion is so radically different from the previous ones - I also have the letter S in my name, maybe that’s the point? Everything seems to be fine - but the oven does not bake pies (I have had experience with pies since childhood - I baked both in an electric Lysva and in a gas-powered communal apartment, everything was browned and baked). But in this one! Burns on the bottom, white on top, poorly baked on the inside.

There are cookies in the photo, you can imagine what the pies look like. If the oven is at the highest temperature (220C) on the highest racks, the top will brown slightly. Especially if you brush it with egg. But during this time, the bottom usually manages to burn......According to the instructions for the stove, the pies should be baked for 30-40 minutes at 180 - the manufacturer himself admits that something is wrong. Usually 10-15 minutes was enough.

I think that the whole point is in the structure of the burner in the oven - it is three-point and is located in the middle of the bottom closer to the glass, and in the old Soviet gas stove there were two elements for the entire depth of the oven on both sides. There are options on sale with a horseshoe-shaped burner, I think Gorenye has it, they write on the forums that this is better. I am saved by the fact that I bake a pie like the Ossetian “flatbread with filling”, and turn it over after the bottom has browned. Or the dough must be prepared very carefully - so that it rises 3 times, then the pies rise and bake better, but they will still almost always look ugly. And the oven bakes meat, fish, and chicken without any problems, maybe just a little longer.

Other shortcomings: - the inscriptions have washed away around the handles.
Cleaning an oven is not easy, but probably all stoves are like that...
It is difficult to wash the burners from above - there are two electrodes for ignition sticking out under the enamel lid; neither a rag nor a sponge can be reached, they only stick with a brush.
There is no temperature sensor, so it is impossible to control the oven temperature. Since the inscriptions have almost disappeared, I install it “by eye”.
The grates are not cast iron, but enameled, and the pots are not quite stable.

What’s good about the stove is that the ignition works, nothing has broken or fallen off in 4 years, the enamel is not damaged with standard care (in 4 years only 1 tiny defect has appeared under the grate leg), the grill bakes chicken in about 2-2.5 hours. The dimensions are suitable - 50x50 cm, this is the only one I have that fits. The lid can be easily removed and put back in place. I don’t need it, but don’t throw it away... The oven has gas control and lighting. But since baking is important to me, I want to buy another stove.

(I’m adding: it turned out to be impossible to buy a stove with a good oven with these dimensions (50x50) in Moscow - there is only the above-described Indesit, the Turkish “Ardo” (that is, an awl for soap), I don’t consider domestic ones at all. Sigmund and Stein stove now exists only virtually , not sold or released. I will continue to suffer.

Types and their brief description

The Italian company produces several types of gas stoves:

gas - the top burners and oven are equipped with a gas supply, such stoves are suitable for baking and baking, it is worth checking for the presence of a grill inside;
electric - a fully electric stove is suitable for a kitchen without a gas pipeline; Thanks to uniform heating, the baked goods are baked better; all stoves are equipped with a timer for programming the temperature; unfortunately, electricity is a more expensive option;
combined stoves - usually include an electric oven or gas burners combined with electric ones; suitable for rooms where there are interruptions in gas supply; To connect the power supply, you must install a special connector.

Setting the mode

It is advisable to choose uniform heating from above and below for cooking. This mode is ideal for baking, roasting fish and meat. Many modern devices have several modes, one of which is strong heating of the lower heating element and standard heating of the upper one.

Equipment at medium and high prices is equipped with a fan on the rear wall. It is used to heat food evenly. Typically, the technique is used for baking whole pieces of meat and fish.

The bottom heating mode is necessary for creating dishes that are topped with fruit or cheese to prevent burning. It is suitable for heating prepared foods. Top heat is used to create succulent dishes. The Indesit gas stove with gas oven is equipped with several modes that allow you to cook different foods.

Some types of equipment have low heating, in which both heating elements operate. The mode is suitable for defrosting food and drying food. Modern appliances are equipped with a grill mode, with which food can be cooked as if it were roasted over a fire.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Italian brand has its advantages and disadvantages, which you should also pay attention to when purchasing.

acceptable cost - the buyer chooses a model according to his financial capabilities;
the strength of the product extends its service life;
many functionality and modes;
high build quality;
nice design allows you to choose the stove to match your kitchen interior;
the ergonomics of the equipment allows you to prepare a variety of dishes quickly and comfortably;

comfort of use.

Minuses:

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

To choose the right equipment when purchasing, you need to take into account the nuances of each component of a gas stove.

Burner type

Typically, for everyday use, stoves are equipped with one of three types of burners:

diffusion - a common type of burner where air is mixed with fuel naturally;
kinetic - suction of air when mixed with gas, applying pressure through a pipeline;
combined - uses both methods to obtain a gas-air mixture, this type is used in modern models of gas stoves

Grating material

The material of the grates also matters: some make it easier to clean the surface, others are lighter in weight.

There are two types of gratings:

cast iron - heavier material, longer service life, but cleaning this material is quite difficult; the cost is more expensive than steel ones;
steel - covered with enamel, light in weight, cleaning takes less time, but the service life is shorter due to the burning of the coating.

Types of ovens

Types of ovens:

classic gas oven - has many functionalities that have become more advanced over time; gas is more familiar to most users, but you should choose it taking into account your wishes and cooking needs; some ovens have a grill, air circulation; a variety of functions also means increased cost of equipment;
electric oven - electric heating spreads more evenly than gas, but is more expensive; the cost of utilities increases; convenient adjustment of temperature and heating;

Oven operating mode

There are several modes for heating and baking dishes:

bottom heat - classic heat used in all ovens;
gas supply from the upper level - allows you to evenly distribute the temperature throughout the product;
using a grill - used for frying poultry or meat, there is heating of small and large areas, there is also a turbo option.

Types of burners

Dividers are usually used in a round shape, but there are other formats that will suit one slab but not another.

It is worth remembering that burners from stoves of other brands are not suitable for Indesit stoves:

burner size - usually not a determining factor, but worth considering for cooking using a variety of cookware; Each cookware has its own burner size, otherwise the utensils can be damaged;
The power of the burners also matters - usually a burner with high power is installed, two with medium power and the last one with the lowest power; some models are equipped with a special burner for faster cooking;
The classic shape is considered a circle , but some models have square, oval or even triangular burners; it all depends on the wishes and habits of the buyer;
The stove is standardly equipped with four burners of different power ; when choosing a smaller quantity, it is worth remembering how many dishes are usually prepared at home;

Embedding type

built-in - they represent two separate blocks: a hob and an oven; it is permissible to use blocks from different models of the same brand, but excluding models from other companies; when purchasing, you should think about the compatibility of the blocks when choosing a built-in model;
separate - standard slab design principle - both blocks are combined into one body; with the right choice, they become a stylish addition to the kitchen set; makes connecting equipment easier - you can start cooking right away;

Additional features

To make cooking easier, the company has included additional features in the equipment.:

LED burner indicator;
equipping with retractable oven designs;
there is a self-cleaning function for ovens using a special layer of heat walls, which makes it easier to remove grease from the walls of the oven;
a timer is included to inform the owner about the preparation of the dish;
locking the oven door prevents children from accidentally opening the oven;
lighting in the oven helps regulate the readiness of food, this fact is especially useful in baked goods and meat dishes;
drawer for storing kitchen utensils;
natural cleaning method - by the owner himself;
the presence of a digital display and touch control;
pyrolytic type of cleaning by thermal action ensures the breakdown of food residues;

A good stove, but not for centuries

We bought an Indesit gas stove 1.5 years ago. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any instructions from her at the moment, so I can’t name the exact model. The equipment is as follows: 4 burners, a gas oven, all burners with electric ignition and gas control, an oven with lighting, grill, spit, gas control, ignited with matches. There is also a timer, two baking sheets and an oven rack. There is a drawer under the oven. in which you can store all sorts of pans. At the time of purchase, such a stove cost about 15,000 rubles. It's probably already cheaper now.

Advantages:

1.Low weight, flexible connection to the gas pipe. The old stove stood like a huge brick, tightly welded to the pipe, and only 2 men could lift it with effort. The new Indesit stove is made of aluminum and stainless steel, so it is very light, even a fragile girl can easily push it aside. This is very convenient during cleaning or repairs.

2. The surface of the stove can be easily cleaned even with ordinary dishwashing detergent. I usually apply the cleaner to the stove for 15-20 minutes and then wipe it with a clean damp cloth and the whole surface shines like new.

3. The oven heats up evenly. There is no need to constantly turn baking sheets or pans.

4. The dimensions of the hob are 50x48 cm. To some, these dimensions seem small, but everything suits me. All my pans and pots fit normally on this stove, and its depth perfectly matches the depth of the working surface of the nearby bedside table.

5. Gas control works great. The stove is located near the window; there have already been cases a couple of times when the flame was blown out by a draft. The gas was immediately turned off.

Flaws:

1. Any dirt (drops, fingerprints, dust) on the surface of this plate is immediately very noticeable. Therefore, you have to wipe the area next to the burners often. It is advisable to use only gel cleaners and soft cloths or sponges, since the material scratches quite easily, and any scratches on it are also very visible.

The included rack fits into the oven without any problems, but the baking sheets do not have very well sanded edges, so you need to place them in the oven carefully so as not to scratch its walls. This is inconvenient when you need to quickly pull out and push in a hot baking sheet

You can, of course, buy a new baking sheet, but somehow I didn’t get around to it.

3.On the old stove I had an indicator that showed the oven temperature. There is no such indicator on this stove. Only after the purchase I realized that this was not very convenient. The temperature can only be set on the oven switch knob, but what the actual temperature inside the oven will be is unknown.

4. The inscriptions for temperature control are not on the stove body itself, but on the burner control knobs. My stove is not even two years old, I wash these handles about 2 times a month, I clean them very carefully, practically without rubbing, but the inscriptions have already begun to wear off. Of course, this is a small thing, you can easily find your way around without these notes, but I was still upset.

Conclusion: I liked the Indesit gas stove, it’s pleasant and convenient to cook on it, nothing rattles or creaks, everything works smoothly. It looks quite decent and goes well with modern kitchen furniture and all sorts of steel kitchen utensils. But this stove is clearly not going to last for centuries)) I think that in 10-15 years it will already be worn out and will have to be replaced.

I didn’t specially prepare the stove for the “photo shoot”; my house is being renovated, so forgive me for the low aesthetic quality of the photos) I didn’t take a close-up photo of the handles; it’s not very noticeable in the photos that the white paint has faded.
