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 insulation. 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 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
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 and cooling
fan.

Oven Timer Operation

The oven timer offers you the following
features:

1. Time of Day

2. Automatic Cooking

3. Minute Minder

Automatic Cooking

The ovens 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

Grilling in the Top Oven

Keep young children away from
the appliance when the grill is in
use as the surfaces get extremely
hot.
Grilling should NOT be
undertaken with the Grill/Top
Oven door closed. (See below)

Never: Line the grill pan with

aluminium foil.
The grill control provides variable

heat control of the grill element and
will only operate once the oven
control has been set to a grill
position (fully clockwise).

together or the single left-hand grill
element only, depending on which
mode you select:

To select twin grill, first turn the
Top Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to
Full Grill.
The heat can now be adjusted by
setting the grill regulator.

To select single grill turn the Top
Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Half
Grill.

Food which requires browning only
should be placed under the hot grill
directly on the shelf in the first or
second runner from the bottom of
the oven, according to the depth of
the dish.

Care should be taken when
removing the grill pan during or
directly after use.

After use, always return both
controls anticlockwise to the OFF
position.

NOTE: The grill pan must be
cleaned after every use. Excess
fat build up in the bottom of the
pan could cause a fire hazard.

The heat can now be adjusted by
setting the grill regulator.

Please note that the Grill will not
operate unless the Top Oven/Grill
Selector is in a grill position.
After use, turn both controls
ANTI-CLOCKWISE to their off
positions.

Grill Procedure

Ensure oven timer is set to Manual.
Pre-heat the grill at setting 6 for
approximately 1 minute.
When toasting/grilling, the rod shelf
is placed in either the second or
third runner position from base. The
grill pan is placed on the shelf and
pushed back as far as possible to
correctly position it under the grill
element.
Leave the control at 6 for toast, and
for sealing and fast cooking of
foods. For thicker foods requiring
longer cooking, turn the switch to a
lower setting after the initial sealing
on both sides at 6.
The thicker the food, the lower the
control should be set.

Cooking in the Top Oven –
Conventional Cooking

The Top Oven can be used to cook
small quantities of food or used in
conjunction with the Main Oven to
provide additional cooking space
so often necessary when
entertaining.
The oven is designed so that the
grill element operates at a reduced
heat output (element will not glow),
combined with a heating element
situated underneath the floor of
the oven.

Do not place items directly onto
the floor of the oven.

To ensure even cooking of the food
it is important that cooking utensils
are positioned correctly on the oven
shelf directly beneath the element.
(As a guide, the front of the
utensil should be approximately
100 mm/4 in from the front of the
shelf.)
There are two cooking positions, the
shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from
the base).

Food or utensils must never be
placed directly on the floor of the
oven.

There should always be at least
25mm (1 in) between the top of the
food and the grill element.
Do not use utensils larger than
300mm x 230mm (12in x 9in).
Larger utensils should be used in
the Main oven.

Operation

To heat the oven, turn the Top
Oven/Grill Selector clockwise,
selecting the required temperature
between 100˚C (200˚F) and 220˚C
(425˚F) as recommended in the Top
Oven Temperature Charts. The Top
Oven indicator light will immediately
come on and remain on until the oven

reaches the required temperature.
The indicator light will then
automatically go off and on during
cooking as the thermostat
maintains
the correct temperature. If the
indicator light doesn’t come on
when the control knob is turned,
check that the oven timer is set to
Manual as described in ‘Oven Timer
Operation'.

Cooking Meat/Poultry in the Top
Oven

The Top Oven is most useful for the
longer slower cooking required for
cheaper cuts of meat – casserole
cooking, pot roasting, braising etc.
Small joints of meat up to 1.5 kg
(3 Ib), or poultry, up to 3.6 kg (8 Ib)
in weight can be roasted in a small
meat pan in the Top Oven, but
should preferably be ‘slow roasted’
or covered with a lid of aluminium
foil (one or two incisions in the top
of the foil will allow the meat or
poultry to brown).
Larger joints of meat, and poultry
weighing more than 3.6 kg (8 Ib),
should be roasted in the Main
Oven.

Do not use the Main Oven meat
pan or the grill pan as a meat pan
in the Top Oven as air circulation
will be seriously restricted.

Top Oven as a Warming
Compartment for Plates and
Dishes

Place the plates and dishes on the
shelf that has been positioned on
runner 1 of the oven and turn on the
Top Oven thermostat to 100˚C for
10-15 minutes.
DO NOT use the grill control.

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 – Fan Grilling

Fan grilling is a combination of heat
from the grill element and the oven fan
circulating the hot air around the food.
Joints of meat and poultry will be
browned as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie or spit but more economically
as the door left closed.
If required, fan grilling can be timed
using the Oven Auto timer.
Follow the timer instructions before
selecting fan grill and the required
temperature.

If Manual fan grilling is required always
ensure the timer is set to Manual.
Do not use the oven without the
removable oven roof in position with its
front flange facing downwards.

Operating Instruction

1. Open the oven door.

2. Select the correct shelf position, as
stated in chart.

3. Turn the selector switch to the Fan
grill position.

4. Turn the oven thermostat control to
the required temperature (see Fan
Grilling Roasting Chart).

5. Position the meat pan centrally
under the grill elements.

6. Close the oven door.

7. After use always return both
controls to the off position.

8. If the oven timer was used, reset to
Manual.

As with the fan oven cooking there is no
need to pre-heat the oven – yet another
economy feature. Also you can cook
more than one thing at a time – even up
to 4 small chickens.

General Recommendations

Most types of meat and poultry cooked
by this method will have an all over
brownness and crispness on the outside.
The only exceptions are very lean joints,
such as veal, which, because of its low
fat content, is better cooked using
conventional heating.

1. Always place the pan on the shelf
position recommended. (See Chart).

2. There is no need to preheat the oven
before cooking and all fan grilling
should be carried out with the oven
door closed, this saves energy.
The cooking temperatures and times
are calculated from a cold oven.

3. After rinsing and drying meat, place
on the food roasting support rack
over the pan supplied.

4. Position meat in oven as
recommended in the roasting chart.

5. Fan grilling is ideally suited for
cooking all types of poultry and larger
joints of meat (e.g. stuffed, rolled
joints and legs of pork and lamb).
Results will be as if you had cooked
the food on a rotisserie. If you use
frozen meat or poultry it must be
completely defrosted before it is
cooked.

6. When cooking a joint always grill it
with the fat side uppermost in order
to crisp it. For bigger joints or where
there is little bone, grill at the lower
temperature given in the table and
cook for a longer time per kg.

7. When cooking any type of poultry,
start grilling the underside
uppermost and turn breast
uppermost about a third to halfway
through the cooking period. If cooking
stuffed poultry allow slightly longer
cooking time.

Temperatures

These will be similar to those used for
the more traditional form of
roasting but the guide will give you an
indication of which temperature to set
the Thermostat. But remember that
because of the way the oven is heated
this is a more economical way of
roasting.

Main Oven - Fan Only

The oven has a fan only position,
which can be used to assist
defrosting by circulating unheated
air around the food.

Time to defrost will depend on type
and size of the food and the room
temperature.

Operating Procedure

1. Turn the selector switch to the
fan only position.

2. After use always return the
control to the off position and
close the oven door.

DO NOT turn the oven thermostat
control on.
DO NOT defrost meat and poultry
by warming the food through.

Foods ideally suited for fan
defrosting (without heat) are those
which are normally served cold, e.g.
cream/cream cakes, butter cream
filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes,
iced cakes, quiches, pastries,
biscuits, bread croissants, fruit and
many delicate frozen foods.

If fish, meat and poultry are to be
“fan only” defrosted then where
possible the items should be thin e.g.
fish fillets, peeled shrimp, cubed or
ground meat, sliced meat, thin
chops, steaks or liver.

The items should be placed so the
maximum amount of surface area is
exposed to the circulating air and
turned regularly to ensure even
defrosting.

Fan defrosting without heating is
only suitable for meat and poultry
joints up to a maximum weight of

1.8kg (4 lb).

It is important to wash both roast
and cooking utensils before cooking
immediately after defrosting.

28

It is vitally important to strictly
adhere to the basic principles of
food handling and hygiene to
prevent the possibility of bacterial
growth.

Main Oven - Conventional Oven

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes

Since a fan oven heats up more
quickly, and generally cooks food at
a lower temperature than a
conventional oven, pre-heating the
oven is often unnecessary. However,
foods such as bread, scones
Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from
being placed in a pre-heated oven.

The charts are a guide only, giving
approximate cooking temperatures
and times. To suit personal taste
and requirements, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease
temperatures by 10˚C.

Because the fan oven cooks so
efficiently, we recommend that
when cooking any recipes not
designed for a fan oven, you reduce
the temperature by about 25˚C and
the time by about 10 minutes in
the hour. If large quantities are
being cooked it will be necessary to
increase the cooking time somewhat
to compensate for the extra
oven load.

Unless otherwise indicated in the
charts, food is placed in a cold
oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If
food is placed in an already hot oven,
the suggested cooking time should
be reduced, depending on the type
and quantity of food being cooked.

Oven Positions

Since the distribution of heat in the
fan oven is very even, most foods
will cook satisfactorily on any shelf
position, but the shelves should be
evenly spaced:

To ensure even circulation do not
use meat pans larger than 390 x
300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking
trays no larger than 330 x 255mm
(13ins x 10ins), these should be
positioned centrally on the oven
shelf.

– Do not fit shelves upside down.

– Never use more than 3 shelves in

the oven as air circulation will be
restricted.

– Food or cooking utensils should

not be placed on the floor of the
oven.

To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod
shelves which are not in use should
be removed from the oven.

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.

30

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes

Temperature and Time

The oven is provided with two shelves. A
third is available as an optional extra,
contact Genuine Parts & Accessories
Hotline (see back page) for further
information.
If three shelves are used to cook large
quantities of food for home freezing or
parties, it may be necessary to increase
the cooking times given in the charts by
a few minutes, to allow for the loss of
heat due to the extra time taken to load
the oven, and the larger mass of food.
Baking trays should allow an equal gap
on all sides of the oven.

To prepare meat and poultry for
Roasting in your Fan Oven

(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well

and weigh it. Meat which has for
been stored in a refrigerator should
be allowed to come to room
temperature before cooking, and
frozen meat or poultry must be
completely defrosted before
placing in the oven.

(b) The weight of any stuffing used

should be added before
calculating the cooking time.

(c) Place meat/poultry in the main

oven meat pan supplied with your
cooker. Small joints weighing less
than 1.75kg (31/2 lbs) should be
roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin –
or they may be ‘pot roasted’ – a
small joint or a large meat pan
causes unnecessary oven
splashing and evaporation of meat
juices.

(d) Additional fat should not be added,

except for veal, very lean meat or
poultry which can either be ‘larded’
with fat bacon or brushed very
sparingly with cooking oil or
melted fat.

(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry

may be dusted lightly with seasoned
flour to give a crisp outer surface.
The skin of duck and goose should
be pricked to release excess fat
during cooking, and the rind of pork
should be scored, brushed lightly
with oil, and rubbed with salt to give
crisp crackling.

(f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or

covered with a tent of aluminium foil
will be juicy and tender. Roasting
bags offer the same advantages.
Always follow the manufacturer’s
pack instructions, and remember to
reduce the temperatures given
for conventional ovens by
approximately 25˚C and the time
by approximately 10 minutes per
hour.

(g) Potatoes for roasting only require

to be brushed with cooking oil or
melted fat.

(h) It is not necessary to baste when

roasting in an electric oven and
stock or liquid should not be
added to the meat pan since this
only causes unnecessary soiling,
steam and condensation.

Frozen Meat and Poultry

Joints of meat and whole birds
should be defrosted slowly,
preferably in a domestic
refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per
450g,1 lb), or at room temperature
(allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1 lb).

Frozen meat or poultry must be
completely defrosted before placing
in the oven.

It is essential to wash thoroughly
and cook meat and poultry
immediately after defrosting.

Main Oven - Circulaire Roasting

CIRCULAIRE ROASTING

Circulaire roasting - food is placed on the roasting rack, this allows the oven fan
to circulate the hot air around the food, making it suitable for thin foods, such
as chops, steaks, sausages as well as meat joints and poultry, as it will cook both
sides at the same time. it is possible to cook on any shelf position, as the
temperature in the oven is evenly distributed. Also, the oven heats up more
quickly and generally will cook food at a lower temperature than a conventional
oven, so pre-heating is not necessary for most foods. For a guide on “cooking
times” and “cooking temperatures” see “Circulaire Roasting Chart”. If required,
circulaire roasting can be timed using the Oven Timer. Follow the timer
instructions before selecting Fan Oven function and the required temperature.
Note: It is also possible to cook food on the roasting rack on one shelf, while
cooking different types of food at the same temperature, on other shelf
positions (three shelves maximum).

Operating Instructions:

STEP 1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.

STEP 2. Turn the control knob (B) clockwise to the fan oven function.

STEP 3. After use, turn controls (A) and (B) to the Off (O) position.

Note: At the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the
door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal
characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

Ensure that the oven shelf is in the position you require.
Place the food centrally on the roasting rack.
Position the roasting rack on top of the grill/meat pan.
Place the grill/meat pan centrally on the oven shelf.
Ensure the oven door is fully closed.

Turn the control knob (A) clockwise and select the required cooking
temperature. The pilot light (
on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then
automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat
maintains the correct temperature.

The Slow Cook Setting

Your Multifunction oven has a ‘slow
cooking’ facility.
This is used for slow cooking,
keeping food warm and warming
plates for short periods.

Some Advantages of Slow Cooking
are:-

The oven stays cleaner because
there is less splashing.

Timing of food is not as critical, so
there is less fear of overcooking.

Fully loading the oven can be very
economical.

Cooking times can be extended in
some cases by up to 2hrs. for late
comers.

Bearing in mind these advantages, it
makes sense to cook larger
quantities of food than required and
store them in a freezer to be used
cold or for re-heating.

It is important to follow the
guidelines given for preparing food
using the ‘Slow’ setting.

Operating Procedure

1. Ensure Oven Timer is set to

Manual.

2. Turn the selector switch to the

fan oven position.

3. Turn the oven thermostat control

to temperature setting S. The oven
light will remain on.
The oven indicator light will remain
on until the oven reaches the
set temperature. This light will
then automatically cycle on and off
during cooking as the oven
temperature is controlled.

4. After use always return both

controls to the off position and
close the oven door.

Slow cooking can only be used with
the selector switch set to fan oven
position and the oven temperature
control to temperature setting ‘S’.

36

Using The Slow Cook Setting

Points to bear in mind when
preparing food:-

1. Make sure all dishes will fit into the
oven before preparing the food.

2. All dishes cooked by the Slow Cook
setting should be cooked for a
minimum of 6 hours. They will 'hold'
at this setting for a further hour but
marked deterioration in appearance
will be noticed in some cases.

3.

Joints of meat and poultry should be
cooked at fan oven 170˚C
before turning to the Slow Cook
setting.

4. Meat over 2.7 Kg. (6 lbs) and poultry
over 2 Kg. (4 lbs 8oz) are unsuitable
for the Slow Cook setting.

5. Always stand covered joints on a
rack over the meat tin, to allow good
air circulation.

6. Pork joints can only be cooked, if an
internal temperature of at least
88˚C is reached. This can be tested
using a meat thermometer.

7. This method is unsuitable for
stuffed meat and poultry.

8. Always bring soups, casseroles and
liquids to the boil before putting in
the oven.

9. When casseroles are used, cover the
food first with foil and then the lid to
prevent loss of moisture.

10. Always thaw frozen food completely
before cooking.

11. Root vegetables will cook better if
cut into small even sized pieces.

12. Always adjust the seasoning and
thickenings at the end of the cooking
time.

13. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5
hours cooking and should be
observed from time to time.

14. Dried red kidney beans must be
boiled for a minimum of ten minutes
after soaking, before inclusion in any
dish.

for 30 mins

Storage and Re-heating of Food

1. If food is to be frozen or not
served immediately, cool it in a
clean container as quickly as
possible.

2. Thaw frozen food completely in
the refrigerator before re­heating.

3. Re-heat food thoroughly and
quickly either on the hotplate or
in the fan oven, 170˚C and then
serve immediately.

4. Only re-heat food once.

37

Main Oven Grilling

DO NOT allow young children near
the appliance when the grill is in use
as the surfaces can get extremely
hot.

GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE
UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOOR
CLOSED.

Do Not line the grill pan with aluminium
foil.
Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after
every use. Excess fat build-up in the
bottom of the pan could cause a fire
hazard.
Preheat the grill on the required setting
for 5 minutes

Door position for grilling:

Grilling Procedure:

1. Open the oven door and position the

rod shelf as recommended in the
grilling chart (see below) for the food
being cooked.

2. Turn the multifunction selector

switch to Half Grill or Full Grill and
then turn the Main Oven temperature
control to the required setting to
pre-heat for approximately 5
minutes.

3. Position the grill pan centrally under

the grill element and push back as far
as the location stops on the rod
shelf.

4. Leave the oven thermostat at setting

230˚C for toast and for fast cooking
of foods. For thicker foods requiring
longer cooking turn the thermostat
to a lower setting, after initial sealing
on both sides at 230˚C. The thicker
the food, the lower the thermostat
should be set.
If excessive smoke is emitted, reduce
the setting.

5. After use always return both controls

to their OFF (O) position.

Care and Cleaning

TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH
BEFORE CLEANING.

Before switching on again, ensure
that all controls are in the OFF
position.

Cleaning the Exterior

The outside of both ovens can be
cleaned, when cooled down, using a
cloth which has been rinsed in
warm soapy water. The oven can
then be wiped down with a clean
dry cloth. Never use an abrasive
powder as this will damage the
surface.

Lower Oven

Remove the rod shelves and meat
pan. Use a fine steel wool soap
pad to remove stubborn stains
from the rod shelves, meat pan
and the floor of the oven. Refer to
the instruction opposite for
cleaning the ‘Stay Clean’ panels.
Do not use aerosol cleaners on
this oven as they could adversely
affect the fan motor unit, and
cannot be wiped off the fan blade.

Decorative Trims

It is advisable to clean the decorative
trims regularly to prevent any build up
of soiling which may detract from the
appearance of the Cooker. The
recommended method of cleaning
is to wipe over the trims with a soft
cloth wrung out in warm water, or mild
non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try
the cleaner on a small area of trim
which is not noticeable in normal use),
then after wiping with a cloth wrung
out in clear water, dry with a soft
clean cloth.

Door & control panel trims

Regularly wipe with a clean damp
cloth and polish with a clean dry
cloth.

Do not use scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners/powders which
may scratch the surface. Under
no circumstances should
abrasive cleaning materials be
used.

Top Oven

Use a fine steel wool soap pad to
remove stubborn stains from the
rod shelves, grill pan and floor and
roof of the oven.

Stay Clean Oven Liners

Refer to the instructions below
for cleaning the following Stay
Clean panels; Oven – side and rear
panels.

How Stay Clean Oven Liners
Work

The surfaces of the Stay Clean
oven liners are treated on the
mottled face with a special
vitreous enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At temperatures of
220˚C (425˚F) or above, the
special surface enables these
soils to be slowly destroyed. The
higher the temperature, the more
effective it is. In most cases
normal cooking operations at this
temperature will permit this
cleaning operation to proceed
during cooking .
However if higher cooking
temperatures are not used
regularly, it may be necessary, in
order to prevent heavy soiling, to
run the oven without meat pan, at
maximum setting for a couple of
hours in Fan Oven mode ONLY. This
may be necessary once a month or
every two or three
months depending on the type and
amount of oven cooking.

39

Care and Cleaning

It should not normally be
necessary to clean the Stay Clean
panels with water. If the user
feels it is desirable to do so, wash
them down in warm, soapy water,
followed by rinsing with clear
water: Do not use biological/

enzyme washing powder, harsh
abrasives or oven chemical
cleaners of any kind. Replacement

oven liners arE available should you
require them, from your nearest
Hotpoint Service Centre (see back
page).

Replacement of Oven Lamp

WARNING: ISOLATE THE COOKER
FROM THE SUPPLY BEFORE
REPLACING THE LAMP, TO AVOID
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Open the oven door and remove
the rod shelves. Grip the light
glass dome, unscrew anti­clockwise and lift out. Reach into
the aperture with fingers, and
unscrew the faulty lamp anti­clockwise (15W 300˚C SES) which
can be obtained from your
nearest Hotpoint Service Centre.
Fit replacement lamp, and refit
dome. When screwing and
unscrewing the faulty lamp use a
thick cloth to protect your fingers
should the lamp break.

WARNING: ISOLATE COOKER
FROM SUPPLY BEFORE
REMOVING DOOR.

Oven Door Removal Main (Lower)
Oven

The door is removable to facilitate
occasional cleaning of heavy
soiling from the oven floor and
from the door itself.

and care should be taken not to
pinch your fingers during the
removal and replacement.
To remove, open the door fully
and, using a coin or screwdriver,
turn the two discs clockwise.
Slightly close the door, unhook the
lower hinge fingers, then pull the
door away from the oven front
frame.
To replace, insert the lower
fingers and the hooked ends of
the door stays, ensuring that the
slots in the lower fingers engage
with the front frame.
Fully open the door and turn the
discs anti-clockwise to their
normal working positions.
Close the door - the hinge will now
lock into position.

40

Care and Cleaning

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 pad.
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.

CLEANING THE DOORS

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 and unscrew the two screws securing the glass
panel so that the securing brackets can be turned. There is no need to
remove the screws completely.

2. Turn the brackets so that the glass can be removed and cleaned at the
sink (Fig. 1.)

For slight soiling

Fig. 1.

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. NOTE: The inner door glass has a special reflective coating on one side.
Replace the door inner glass so that the statement: “IMPORTANT THIS
FACE TOWARDS THE OVEN” can be read from the inner side of the
door.

2. Turn the two securing brackets back to
their original position to retain the glass
and tighten the screws. (Fig. 2.)

Annual Safety/Maintenance Checks
