It appears that your iMac shipped with OS X 10.6.6 which came on disc. If you have the original grey discs put disc 1 into the superdrive and restart while holding the C key. Choose your language and at the next screen from the menu bar select Disk Utility. Erase and reformat the hard drive and be sure to select Mac OS extended journaled and for the format select GUID partition scheme. Quit Disk Utility and go back to the installer screen and install OS X. Whenit's done run software update to get to 10.6.8 then access the Mac App Store and you can upgrade to Mavericks if you choose.

If you don't have the discs you can use Internet Recovery IF the firmware was upgraded to allow it before someone erased the Mac partition and installed windows. If the firmware wasn't upgraded you'll need to contact Apple and get a set of original install discs.
