Retention of this Instruction Book
This Instruction Book must be kept handy for reference as it contains important
details on the safe and proper use of the appliance.
If you sell or pass the appliance to someone else, or move house and leave it behind, make
sure this Book is also provided so the new owner can become familiar with the appliance and
safety warnings.
If the Book is lost or damaged a copy may be obtained from General Domestic Appliances Ltd,
Morley Way, Peterborough, PE2 9JB.
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. 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 temporary
finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Installation Instructions
Ensure that the electricity supply
is turned off before installing
your appliance.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT LIFT OVEN BY THE
DOOR HANDLES.
This equipment is designed
specifically for domestic purposes
and Hotpoint Limited cannot accept
responsibility if used for any other
type of application.
All electrical installations must be
carried out by a NICEIC registered
installer.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED.
1. General
The appliance is designed for
mounting at a safe level into an
open housing which must be
secured to the backing wall.
2. Oven Unit Housing Cabinets
a. The oven unit housing cabinet
dimensions must comply with
Fig. 4. (See page 7.)
b. An air gap of 50 mm minimum
must be provided at the rear of
any top or bottom cupboards
or shelves. (See Fig. 1 page
6.)
c. Ventilation must be
unobstructed, ie. from adjacent
cabinetry. This can be done by
either raising the base of the
cabinets using the adjusting
feet (or spacers) or
alternatively by providing a
slot in the cabinet plinth to the
dimensions shown overleaf.
d. The air gap at the rear allows
the warmed air to pass out of
the inner cabinet space, but
where it is intended to fit
cupboards above the oven unit
to ceiling height it is essential
that the warmed air is
exhausted through the front of
the cabinet Fig. 1. (See page 6.)
e. If an oven unit is installed
adjacent to a tall cabinet,
steam escaping from the oven
when the door is opened could
condense on, and perhaps
stain, the adjacent surface. To
prevent permanent staining,
the adjacent surface should be
made of a material that is heat
resistant and easy to clean.
Adjacent tall cabinets should
not be deeper than the oven
housing cabinet.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the lower
cupboard is constructed in the
manner illustrated see pages 6 and
7 ie. having side, back and roof
panels so joined as to provide no
apertures which could permit
access to the oven unit when
installed .
3. Final Installation
a. Using a spirit level, check that
the housing cabinet is level
from side to side and from
front to back in its installed
position.
b. Correct any unevenness by
placing wooden packing under
the bottom of the cabinet.
Make sure that the cabinet
rests firmly on the cabinet floor
without rocking
c. Before the oven is fitted, the
cabinet must be firmly secured
to the backing wall for stability.
4
Installation Instructions
d. The oven unit should now be
lifted (by 2 adults) into the
cabinet and pushed fully home.
e. Finally the oven unit must be
secured to the cabinet by
means of the four pozi wash
head screws, two through each
side trim.
f. REMOVE ALL PACKING
MATERIAL FROM THE GRILL
AND OVEN INTERIOR.

The Cooking Systems in your Double Oven
Your new oven is equipped with
three different cooking systems:
1. Conventional Heating
1
2
3
(Top Oven) - with upper and
lower heat. This system is
particularly suitable for roasting
and baking on one shelf only.
2. Grilling (Top Oven) - Has a full
width, fully controllable grill. The
grill also has an economy setting
which enables you to use just the
left section.
NOTE: The oven door should
be open when grilling.
(See page 21.)
3. Fan Cooking (Lower 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).
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a
momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a
few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good
door seal.
11
Before Using the
Oven for the First Time
Make sure the electricity supply
is switched ON.
Please note that when the double
oven is used for the first time a
slight odour may be emitted due to
the ‘burning off’ of any temporary
finish on oven fittings and elements
and the removal of moisture
absorbed by the lagging. The odour
will cease after a short period of
use.
To remove the ‘new smell’, heat up
the empty oven for 30 minutes
keeping the door closed. Ensure
that the room is well ventilated (eg,
open a window or door) 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
new smell has ceased.
Turn the selector switch to fan oven
function, then turn oven thermostat to
MAX. Also turn Top Oven/Grill
selector to MAX.
The oven temperature thermostat
lights will come on as well as the
interior light, oven fan, control panel
illumination, and cooling fan.

IMPORTANT
Before using your oven in the
ordinary way, ALWAYS make
sure that the timer has been set
to MANUAL operation. Unless
this is done, the main oven cannot
heat up. Before seeking assistance,
make sure this is done (refer to oven
timer operation).
Multifunction Selector
Rotate the control knob in either
direction until the required function
symbol appears in the control window.
Many of the functions will also require
the main oven thermostat to be set

Oven Timer Operation
The oven timer offers you the following
features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
Automatic Cooking
The main fan oven can be controlled
automatically.
Guidance on automatic cooking
1. Select foods which will take the
same time to cook.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food
has just finished or is just about to
finish cooking on your return to the
oven. This will ensure the food has
not cooled down and does not
require reheating before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as possible
when it goes into the oven, ideally
straight from the refrigerator.
Frozen meat and poultry should be
thawed thoroughly before it is put in
the oven.
4. We advise that warm food should
never be placed in the oven if
there is to be a delay period. Stews
prepared by frying the meat and
vegetables should be cooked as
soon as possible.
5. We advise dishes containing leftover cooked poultry or meat, for
example Shepherds Pie, should not
be cooked automatically if there is to
be a delay period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked
by the long slow method, so
that the delay period is kept to a
minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful
bacterial growth in certain foods (ie
poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start
should be kept to a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and
cream may curdle during the
delay period, so it is best to add
these ingredients just before
serving.
9. 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.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not
be filled too full to prevent
boiling over.
11. 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.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly
before serving.
15
Oven Timer Operation
CLOCKFACE
The timer incorporates a 24 hour clock.
Ensure the correct time of day is always set, before using you cooker.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DISPLAY WILL DIM BETWEEN 22.00
HOURS AND 06.00 HOURS TO PREVENT GLARE.
However, should you operate the timer during these hours the display will
return to normal brightness for a few seconds and then dim again.
SYMBOLS
will light up when you select a Minute Minder Period and will remain lit for the
period set. At the end of the Minute Minder Period, the timer will emit an audible
tone for 2 minutes, the symbol will start to flash and will continue to flash until
the Minute Minder function is cancelled.
This “Cookpot” symbol will light up either:–
– When you press the Cook Period Button and set a length of time for an
Auto Cooking Programme. (It will go out again a few seconds after you
release the timer buttons).
– During the actual Cook Period.
“AUTO” will light up:–
– When the timer is first turned on it will flash. (It will go out when a time of day
is set.
– When an Auto Cooking Programme has been set.
The “Auto” symbol will flash at the end of an Auto Cooking programme to indicate
that the programme has finished.
(When the “Auto” symbol is flashing, to return the oven to Manual operation,
turn the oven controls off, ensure that the correct time of day is set, and press
the “Manual” button twice – The “Auto” symbol will go out).
Note: If at any time the display shows a ‘KEY’ symbol, it is likely that the timer has been set incorrectly. OVEN
COOKING IS NOT POSSIBLE. The ‘KEY’ symbol can be deleted and the cooker returned to manual operation by:
- Simultaneously pressing the Minute Minder and the Cook Period buttons for a period of approximately 8
seconds.
- Releasing the buttons and pressing the ‘+’ button.
