The Recipe Book
Hotpoint has come up with a small recipe book - which is practical, full of helpful tips and easy to use - to help you
rediscover the delights of cooking.
It contains a wide variety of handy tips to keep in mind to try out new dishes effortlessly.
It also has 15 recipes preprogrammed into the oven, so thanks to the interactive display, once you have done the
preparation all you have to do is make one simple selection.
To the Installer
Before installation fill in the product details on the back cover this book.
The information can be found on the rating plate.
To the User
You must read the instructions prior to installing and using the appliance and
then retain them for future reference.
Introduction
Your new electric oven is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has
been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The oven is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
Note:When the oven is first used, an odour may be omitted - this will cease after a short period of use.
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a minimum of two to three hours,
keeping the door/s closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that
persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room
until the smell has ceased.
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
*The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:
(a) Has been used solely in accordance with this booklet.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate, attached to the
appliance.
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the
manufacturers authorised employee or agent.
(d) Has been correctly installed.

The Controls
Grill
1
The various features offered by your oven are selected by
means of function/temperature selector “B” and grill control
“C” situated on the control panel.
Turn the function/temperature selector “B” clockwise
until the required grilling symbol is in line with the mark
on the control panel. The element is now "on".
The variable grill control “C” can now be used to select
the required heat.
Notice: Never place anything on the bottom of the oven
when it is in operation because this could damage the
enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium
foil, etc. etc.) on the shelf provided with the appliance in-
serted along the shelf guides “H”.

The variable grill control "C" provides varying grilling
temperatures when rotated from "max" to "min" and may be
adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during the
grilling operation.
NOTE: Grilling must be done with the door partially open.
N.B.: Should the appliance be equipped with an electronic

Thermostatically controlled oven (Fan Assisted Mode)
When the oven control knob (B) is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol "Light/Defrost" the fan and oven
light will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food.
Rotating further through the range of temperatures offered
you can choose which is most suitable for the food you
are going to cook. The temperature is controlled by the
oven thermostat (between 60°C to MAX).
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, it is
equipped with a cooling fan which comes on automatically
when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting
between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is finished, the fan stays on until the
oven cools down sufficiently.
Note: Whilst using the oven for conventional cooking the
variable grill control (C) must be set with “MAX” in line with
the reference mark on the control panel.

Cooking Advice
from below, use the low shelf positions.
When Using the Grill
Use the "Grill" mode, place the food in the centre of the
grill pan, situated on the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom.
When cooking in the oven, use only one baking tray or
shelf at a time. Select an upper or lower shelf position
based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from
the top.
Preheating
If the food being cooked needs to go into a preheated
oven (this is generally the case when cooking leavened
foods), we recommend you wait until preheating is over,
which is indicated by the red oven indicator light “E” going
out, before adding food.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make
sure you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly (the
red oven indicator light "E" will go out). Do not open the
oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping.
In general, if:
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
Pastry is too dry
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place
the grill pan/baking tray beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre of
the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature and increase
the cooking time.
It is cooked well on the inside but is sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.

Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenace on your
oven, you must disconnect it from the power supply.
How to Remove the Oven Door
The oven door can easily be removed to clean the space
between the bottom of the door and the front of the oven. To
disassemble the door, proceed as follows:
- open the oven door fully,
Inside the oven
We recommend you clean your oven each time you use it,
especiallyaftercookingroasts. Infact, itisadvisabletoprevent
foodresiduefrombuildingupduringcooking:theresiduewould
be re-cooked each time the oven is used and would char and
release smoke and unpleasant odours.
- lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,
- shut the door, but not completely,
- grip the door on the two external sides and pull it towards
you, pulling it out of its seat.
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures
in reverse order.
Oven exterior

Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of
your oven using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making
sureyourinseanddrythesethoroughly, withoutusingabrasive
or corrosive products which could damage them.
Stainless steel
Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using a
soft cloth. Use a specific non-abrasive product to remove
tougher stains,
Replacing the Oven Lamp
DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.
To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may be
tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We strongly advise
against this. The aluminium foil sheet in direct contact with the
heated enamel coating could melt and damage the enamel
coating inside the oven irreversibly.
•
Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance to
the electrical mains.
•
•
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following character-
istics:
Rubber Seal

Type E14
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which
guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of this
seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it using warm
water and dry thoroughly.
•
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the
mains supply.
DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so. Should
the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint Service
(see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We recommend you
avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.

terior must be assembled with glues which can withstand
temperatures of up to 100 °C.
In compliance with current safety standards, contact with
the electrical parts of the oven must not be possible once
it has been installed.
All parts which ensure the safe operation of the appliance
must be removable only with the aid of a tool.
