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
1
2
3
Your new oven is equipped with three 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.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 before the oven will heat up.
Main Oven Temperature Control
This is used in addition to the multifunction selector. This is used for the functions: fan oven, fan grill, half grill and full grill and conventional oven.
Turn the control clockwise to set the oven thermostat to the required temperature.
If the timer is set correctly and the selector switch set to a suitable function an indicator light will illuminate. This will remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains control of the oven temperature.
Top Oven Temperature Control
Turn the control clockwise to set the top oven thermostat to the required temperature. An indicator light will illuminate. This will remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains control of the oven thermostat.
Grill Control
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either both grill elements on together or the single left-hand grill element only. Turn the top oven control clockwise past the temperature settings to the half grill or full grill settings, depending on which you require. To set the grill power, turn the grill control to any setting 1-6. After use always return the controls to their off position "O".
Cooling Fan
A gentle flow of air will be blown below the control panel when any control is used. In some instances this will continue after switching off. This helps to keep the control panel and knobs cool.
After use Always return the controls to their off ‘O’ position.
13
Multifunction Selector Switch

14
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
