The cooking systems in your Cooker  
Your new cooker is equipped with a number of different cooking systems:  
1. Conventional Heating (Top Oven)  
- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for  
roasting and baking on one shelf only.  
2. 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 open when grilling.  
3. Defrost (Main Oven)  
- the fan located on the oven wall circulates the air at room  
temperature around the food. Recommended for thawing any type  
of food but in particular delicate foods not requiring heat. The  
thawing time is roughly halved compared to defrosting in still air.  
4. Fan Oven (Main Oven)  
- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an  
element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved  
efficiency and in general, enables the use of lower temperatures  
for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be particular  
about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level  
simultaneously (Batch Baking).  
5. Traditional (Main Oven)  
- the upper and lower 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 bottom or top shelves  
respectively.  
6. Roast Chicken (Main Oven)  
- specially created for cooking excellent roast poultry. This mode  
can be used to roast chickens, duck, turkey and other poultry to  
perfection. Each heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee a  
homogeneous temperature within the oven.  
8
 
The cooking systems in your Cooker  
7. Roast Meats (Main Oven)  
- specially created for cooking joints of meat. The mode raises the  
temperature in the oven to a very high heat for the first 10 minutes  
of cooking to seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices of  
the meat throughout cooking. After this, the temperature is  
reduced to the set temperature using each element in turn to  
guarantee a homogenous temperature for the remainder of the  
cooking period.  
8. Bread (Main Oven)  
- this mode is ideal for baking breads or any type of food including  
raising agents. The elements raise the temperature slightly higher  
at the start of the cooking period to encourage raising but reduce  
it later to prevent cracking and over browning of the top surface.  
Again all elements and the fan are used.  
9. Sponges (Main Oven)  
- this mode uses all the elements and the fan to hold the oven  
centre temperature within a range of only a few degrees. This type  
of stable temperature control is ideal for cooking sponge cake to  
perfection.  
10. Casseroles (Main Oven)  
- all heating elements are used but without the fan. This creates a  
traditional oven heating style but with gentle heating control, ideal  
for casseroles and stews. This mode remains unsurpassed in  
cooking dishes requiring slow cooking with constant addition of  
liquids.  
11. Pizza (Main Oven)  
- Once at temperature the high heat is maintained by the top and  
base elements (with the majority coming from the base). This  
ensures crispy light pizza bases without overcooking or drying out  
the topping. The pizza oven function is particularly recommended  
for foods requiring a high quantity of heat. Use only one shelf at a  
time.  
12. Fish (Main Oven)  
- this mode provides gently pulsing top and bottom heat to lightly  
poach fish dishes without overcooking or drying out.

Temperatures  
The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan  
ovens. When using a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the  
cooking time by 10 minutes per hour and lower the temperature by  
up to 20˚C.  
Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to pre-heat the  
oven.  
However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such as  
Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread. Your experience  
with the cooker will enable you to select the cooking time and  
temperature best suited for your recipe.  
Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may  
drip through the vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are  
present and may be a result of any of the following:  
1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.  
Condensation  
2. The moisture content of the food  
eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasting meat, etc.  
3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

The Working of the Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking zones. The  
Heating Zones  
zones heat up and cool down quicker, providing greater  
controllability for sensitive foods. Each heating zone is equipped  
with a thermal limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the  
ceramic glass from overheating. After several minutes at full power  
without a pan on the heating zone the thermal limiter will switch the  
heating elements off and on automatically to avoid any damage to  
the ceramic glass.  
Choice of  
Saucepans  
It is essential that the saucepans you use on the ceramic hob are  
suitable.  
ALWAYS USE:  
G Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.  
G Saucepans manufactured from aluminium (enamelled or  
machined) or stainless steel.  
G Correct size saucepans. The base of the pan must cover the  
heating zone completely.  
G Saucepans with lids which are well fitting to reduce cooking time  
and energy use.  
NEVER USE:  
G Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these will extend  
cooking times, waste electricity and cause damaging, local  
hotspots on the glass surface.  
G Pans with ridged or recessed bases.  
G Pans with damaged or rough bases which could scratch the  
glass surface.  
G Glass or glass ceramic utensils.

Care of the Ceramic Hob  
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these  
simple guidelines:  
Do not stare at halogen heating units.  
Do Not  
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as  
this will result in damage to the surface of the hob.  
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to  
the smooth surface of the hob.  
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause  
scratches in the surface of the hob.  
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob  
surround.  
Do not place anything between the base of the utensil an
the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats,  
aluminium or wok stand.  
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when  
it is not in use.  
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the  
hob.  
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they  
are being used.  
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they are switched On.  
We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles  
across two heating areas.  
Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas.  
Always ensure that they are placed centrally over  
the heated areas and have the same diameter as  
the heating area used.  
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both clean and dry. Dirt  
or moisture between the pan and the hob can cause pitting of  
the surface of the glass.  
Do  
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base diameter  
greater than 25cm (l0ins).  
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front  
cooking areas.  
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.  
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a high sugar content  
eg. jam, as spillage will cause damage to the surface of the  
glass.  
Always clean spills immediately (see Care and Cleaning).  
14  
 
Care of the Ceramic Hob (continued)  
IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire  
risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying,  
cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to  
answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned  
cooking areas.  
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate  
heating area.  
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.  
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking  
period.  
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.  
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much,  
resulting in greasy food.  
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into  
the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing  
and spitting, if added too quickly.  
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.  
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or  
fat.  
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.  
Safety  
requirements for  
deep fat frying  
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:  
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.  
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and injuries are caused  
almost invariably by picking up the burning pan and rushing outside  
with it.  
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.  
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan fire, as the force of  
the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over.  
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.  
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you FACE and ARMS  
are WELL PROTECTED from the flames to save you from becoming  
hurt.  
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR  
AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.  
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade immediately.  
15  
 
Solarplus Grill  
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should be  
kept away.  
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The  
Solarplus high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling  
times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold.  
Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed  
beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used  
from cold without any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum  
performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.  
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh.  
This stops you from touching live parts.  
Note:  
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh  
as this could damage or break the element tubes OR if the grill is  
on cause an electric shock.  
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it  
while the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and  
wait until it has cooled down before cleaning.  
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - DO  
NOT store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when the rod  
shelf is in the top runner position.  
There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the  
right. You can choose to have both sides on or just the left side on.  
Turning the control knob clockwise, will switch both sides on.  
Turning it anti-clockwise, will only switch the left side on. The  
numbers which are displayed indicate the heat setting. Number 4 is  
the hottest and number 1 the coolest.  
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP  
OVEN DOOR CLOSED - This will cause overheating.  
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the ‘0’ Off  
position.  
Grilling procedure  
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.  
2. Position rod shelf as recommended in the chart (next page) for  
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.

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate  
cleaning and storage. The handle can be either detachable from OR  
fixed to the pan.  
For a fixed handle:  
Remove the screw and washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt the  
handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it towards  
the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket  
(C). Replace the screw and washers and ensure they are fully  
tightened up.  
For a detachable handle:  
Remove the screw and washers from the grill pan and keep safe.  
Please note that if a fixed handle is required, the grill pan cannot be  
kept in the Fan Oven with the door closed but may be stored in the

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).  
The operation of the controls is covered on page 11.  
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning (pages  
19 and 20).  
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.  
G The shelf should be positioned on the first or second runner  
from the bottom.  
To use the oven  
proceed as follows:  
G Set the top oven control to the required temperature, the top  
oven light will come on and wait for the thermostat light to go  
off, indicating that the oven has reached the right temperature.  
G 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.  
G
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.  
Platewarming in the Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the top oven will be heated  
top oven  
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.

If using aluminium foil, never:  
1. Allow foil to touch sides of oven.  
2. Cover oven interior with foil.  
3. Cover shelves with foil.  
The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is  
to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of  
poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the  
required internal temp has been reached.

Main Oven – The Smart Cooking System  
The main oven of your new cooker is equipped with a smart  
electronic cooking system that gives you additional cooking  
performance, flexibility and features over traditional cooking  
products.  
The operation of the controls is covered on page 12.  
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning (pages  
23 to 26).  
Please take the time to familiarise yourself with this part of your  
cooker as some of the functions operate differently from a  
traditional cooker.  
Super preheat  
All main oven programmes except the defrost and sponge settings  
include a super preheat at the start of the cooking duration. The  
super preheat uses all the elements and the main oven fan to  
rapidly raise the temperature in the oven to the correct setting  
before switching to the specific cooking mode required for the  
selected oven setting.  
The preheat mode symbol will remain lit during the preheat cycle.  
Once the correct temperature is reached the symbol will go off and  
a short audible beep will sound.  
Dynamic cooking  
and preheat  
A number of the main oven cooking modes use a dynamic cooking  
system, changing the temperature and heat distribution at  
different times during the cooking period to provide excellent  
cooking results.  
Therefore when using the preheat function, to ensure best results  
it is important that you put the food into the oven soon after the  
audible beep that signals the preheat temperature has been  
reached.  
This ensures you receive all the benefits of the system which will be  
continually altering the cooking process after this point to ensure a  
good result.  
Dynamic cooking  
and batch baking  
A number of the main oven cooking modes use a dynamic cooking  
system, changing the temperature and heat distribution at  
different times during the cooking period to provide excellent  
cooking results.  
Therefore to ensure best results when batch baking it is  
extremely important that you restart the cooking mode every  
time you put a new dish in the oven.  
This restarts the cooking cycle ensuring you receive all the benfits  
of the system every time you cook. To do this simply switch the main  
oven selector to the ‘Off’ position, then back to your selected  
cooking mode before putting your lastest batch into the oven.

Main Oven – The Smart Cooking System  
continued...  
Unless you set a specific cooking duration using the automatic  
cooking features (explained to you on pages 27 to 30) the main oven  
programmes automatically finish after a set maximum cooking  
duration. This is a safety feature to prevent the main oven from  
being left on accidentally. The times vary for each of the modes but  
represent the maximum expected cooking duration for the food  
type.

event that you are preparing a meal that has a cook time over the  
maximum cooking duration, please use the automatic cooking  
feature.  
Note:  
The system will automatically suggest a suitable cooking  
temperature for particular cooking modes. It is possible to modify  
the set temperature within a range specific to each cooking mode.

Additional Main Oven Smart Cook Functions  
When you first switch on the appliance you will be prompted to set the ‘Time of Day’ on the  
display. you must ensure you have done this before attempting to use the automatic cooking  
feature.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
The main oven can be controlled automatically.  
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING:  
- Select food which will require the same cooking time and temperature.  
- To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the food  
is ready when you require it.  
- Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.  
- Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible  
- If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic cooking,  
keep the delay time to a minimum  
- Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delayed start cooking as it could cause the  
oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.  
- We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, eg. shepherds pie,  
should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.  
- Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in  
food.  
- Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it is best to  
add these ingredients just before serving.  
- Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which  
lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.  
- Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.  
- Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid  
during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.  
- Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.  
- Only reheat food once.

Care and Cleaning of the Oven  
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER  
CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE  
CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.  
Cleaning of the  
Ceramic Hob  
Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused before cleaning,  
spillage will be baked on and be very difficult to remove.  
Always switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control panel.  
To minimise cleaning:  
Always take care and avoid spills.  
Always use a Ceramic Hob Cleaner-Conditioner whenever cleaning is  
done. The Cleaner-Conditioner forms a protective film on the  
hob and contains a mild detergent which makes cleaning  
easier. Hotpoint has a Cleaner-Conditioner which can be  
obtained, either through a local Hotpoint Service Centre or  
retailer, part no.6004.  
To clean off stubborn stains, the following can be used when the  
surface has cooled:  
1.  
Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.  
Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by carefully  
using a glass scraper.  
Hard water stains, grease spots and any discolouration  
having a metallic sheen can be removed with Solvol Autosol  
Super or any non abrasive stainless steel cleaner.  
2.  
3.  
After cleaning, always use the Cleaner-Conditioner and finish it off by  
polishing with a clean, dry paper towel.  
Never use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as they can damage  
the surface of the hob.  
The visual effect of any scratches which may occur in use can be  
minimised by the use of Cleaner-Conditioner. Such scratches cannot  
be removed but do not affect the function of the hob in any way.  
Cooker Exterior  
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it  
looking like new.  
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water and dry with a  
soft clean cloth.  
You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the  
manufacturer’s instructions first. Always test their suitability on a  
small  
area of the cooker not noticeable in normal use.  
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may  
scratch the surface.  
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.

Care and Cleaning of the Oven  
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER  
CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE  
CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.  
‘Stay Clean’ Liners ‘Stay Clean’ liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs  
cooking soils. At higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed.  
In most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit  
this cleaning to take place automatically.  
However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly  
then it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run  
the oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours, from  
time to time.  
The ‘Stay Clean’ liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed  
by rinsing in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.  
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or  
chemical oven cleaners of any kind.  
Oven Fittings  
Oven Interiors  
The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a  
fine steel wool soap pad. The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in  
warm soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove  
stubborn stains or in a dishwasher.  
They should be cleaned after each use.  
To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where  
applicable the ‘Stay Clean’ liners.  
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive  
cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the ‘Stay Clean’  
liners.  
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.  
Oven Door Cleaning The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see  
page 33.  
Door and Control  
Panel Trims  
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry  
cloth.  
Solarplus Grill  
To clean the solarplus grill, use a clean, damp soapy cloth and wipe  
over.  
If stubborn stains remain, gently clean with a well soaped nylon  
scouring pad and wipe over with a damp cloth.  
NOTE: DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool or  
proprietary oven cleaners on the grill element mesh.  
WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, BEFORE REPLACING THE OVEN  
LIGHT, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE COOKER CONTROL UNIT (and  
allow to cool if the oven has been used).  
Replacement of the  
Oven Light  
Unscrew the glass cover, using a suitable cloth to protect the  
fingers and remove carefully. Unscrew the existing light bulb, and  
remove. Screw the new bulb into position and replace the glass  
cover, with metal washer, until positioned securely.

Care and Cleaning (cont.)  
CLEANING THE DOORS  
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is  
coated with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder,  
which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp  
mechanical blows.  
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. For slight soiling the  
inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door. After  
cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.  
SIDE OPENING DOORS  
Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down doors, except take care to  
support the weight of the inner glass when removing and refitting.  
DROP DOWN DOORS  
Remove the door inner glass as follows.  
1.  
Open the door fully.  
2.  
Carefully slide the inner glass towards you and withdraw it from its locating  
slots. Ensure that the door is not allowed to slam shut, due to the reduction in  
door weight. Clean the glass as described above.  
3.  
The inside of the outer door glass can now be cleaned while still fitted to the  
cooker.  
NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.  
Refit the door inner glass as follows.  
1.  
Open the door fully.  
2.  
Locate the inner door glass into its slots, so that the printing is readable from the  
face nearest the oven in the closed position and the widest black band is towards  
the bottom of the door. The inner door glass has a special reflective coating on  
one side, in order to minimise surface temperatures and energy consumption  
during use, it is important it is fitted correctly.  
3.  
Carefully slide the glass into its slots as far as it will go.

Disposal of your product  
To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of your product carefully and  
safely. Remove all doors and lids. Remove the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting off  
flush with the appliance and always ensure that no plug is left in a condition where it  
could be connected to the electricity supply.  
To help the environment, Local Authority instructions should be followed for the disposal  
of you product.  
Disposal of old electrical appliances  
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment  
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the  
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in  
order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce  
the impact on human health and the environment.  
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your  
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information  
concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
