convection ov ens with those of the more modern fan assisted models in a single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allo ws you to choose easily and safely between 7 different cooking modes. The various features off ered by the ov en are selected by means of selector knob “B” situated on the control panel.
Notice: The first time you use y our appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on f or at least half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the ov en door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.
Setting the digital clock
The time can only be set on the clock when knob “B” is in position 0. After the appliance has been connected to the power supply , or when the power has gone out, the clock display will automatically reset to 0:00 and begin to blink. 0.00. T urn knob C to set the hours and then press OK to confirm. Turn knob C again to set the minutes and then press OK to confirm the time definitively . Any changes can be made by pressing button 2 and f ollowing the abo v e procedure .
Timer Feature
The timer does not control the starting or stopping of the oven, it merely sounds a b uzzer when the time is up and can be interrupted at any time just by pressing a button. To set the timer, press button 3, adjust it using knob C and
then press the OK button to confirm. The n icon will remind you the timer is on.
Once the countdown is over , a buzzer will sound, and will stop doing so after 1 minute or if you press any b utton whatsoever .
The oven light
It can be turned on at any time with the oven turned off, simply by pressing button 1.
Cooling ventilation
In order to reduce the temperature of the exterior of the oven, a cooling fan generates a flow of air that can be heard exiting between the ov en door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until the oven cools down sufficiently. Note: In “Fast cooking” mode , the fan comes on automatically
only when the oven is hot. Reminder: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system which detects any malfunctions. The user is informed of the latter by messages such as “Fn m” that come up on the display (n and m = single digit numbers). In these cases, you need to call for technical assistance as the ov en is f aulty.
How T o Use Y our Oven

oven combines the adv antages of traditional
Once pre-heating is complete, an acoustic signal will sound and the icon m will come on permanently, and at this
stage you can place the food to be cooked inside the pre­heated oven. Note: the F AST COOKING and GRILL modes do not inclu- de a pre-heating phase. Please remember that you can always do the follo wing when cooking is under wa y:
change the cooking mode by turning knob “B”;
change the temperature by turning knob “C”;
programme the cooking time and end cooking time (see paragraph entitled “Prog ramming the cooking mode”).
stop it at any time by setting knob “B” back to 0.
Note: For safety reasons , a cooking time of 2 hours is set for each cooking mode by default. Should this time f ail to be adjusted, the oven will be automatically turned off once this time is up.
Notice: Place the ov en tra y provided on the bottom shelf of the oven to pre v ent an y sauce and/or grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when using the turnspit (only available on certain models). F or all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and ne ver place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel coating. Always place your cookw are (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.
Convectional
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C. On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The convection o ven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, local stockfish recipes, tender veal with rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing meat-based dishes as well: braised meats, ste w, goulash, game, ham etc. which need to cook slowly and require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for baking cakes and pastries as well as fruit and cooking casseroles. When cooking in convection mode, use only one rack, as the temperature would not be distributed evenly on se v er al rac ks . Using the different rack heights available, you can balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.
Multi-Cooking
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The heating elements and the fan come on alternately . Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food unif ormly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta
7
The Controls
bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance . Excellent results can be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like courgettes, aubergines, peppers , etc. Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking lea vened cakes. Moreover , this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 50% and 100%. The top heating element come on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill make s it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking.
Some grilling examples are included in the “Cooking Advice” paragraph. Turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the different energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%) and maximum (100%) settings.
Fan Grilling
Position of thermostat knob “C ”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The top heating element and the fan come on. This combination of features increases the eff ectiv eness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the ov en. This helps prevent f ood from burning on the surface, allo wing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chick en in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.
All "fan grilling" cooking must be done with the oven door shut.
The “fan grilling” mode is ideal for cooking grouper steaks, tuna, swordfish, stuff ed cuttlefish etc.
Fan
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods ­especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time . Here are a f ew examples: cream puffs, sweet and sa voury biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin, etc…..
Fast cooking
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre­packed f ood quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few “home-made” dishes. The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking” mode are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Cooking Advice”.
Defrost
Position of thermostat knob “C”: any The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, b ut in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° - 100°C.
Pizza
Position of thermostat knob “C ”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance (2800 W), which results in the production of considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom. The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one oven tr ay or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these must be switched halfw ay through the cooking process.

Programming the cooking mode
The cooking time and/or end cooking time can be programmed after the desired cooking mode has been selected.
Programming the cooking time
Press button 5 and then adjust the cooking time by turning knob C. Press the OK b utton to store the setting. The tem­perature selected (which can be adjusted using knob C) and the amount of time left until cooking is complete will be displayed alternately. Once this time is up, the word “end” will be displa y ed and a sequence of acoustic signals will be emitted to indicate that cooking is complete.
Press any button to silence the acoustic signal.
Turn knob B back to position 0 to remove the word “end” from the displa y.
For e xample It is 9:00 a.m. and a cooking time of 1 hour and 15 minutes is programmed. Cooking will stop automatically at 10:15 a.m..
For example It is 9:00 a.m. and the end cooking time is set at 10:15 a.m.. Cooking will last 1 hour and 15 minutes .
Delayed cooking programming
Press button 5 and then adjust the cooking time by turning knob C. Press the OK b utton to store the setting. The tem­perature and the time set previously will be displayed alternately. Press button 4 and then adjust the end cooking time by turning knob C. Press the OK button to store the setting and the display will remind you of the end cooking time and of the temperature set alternately. For example It is 9:00 a.m. and a cooking time of 1 hour and 15 min utes and 12:20 as the end cooking time are programmed. Cooking will start automatically at 11:15 a.m..
Programming the end cooking time
Press button 4 and then adjust by turning knob C. Press the OK b utton to store the setting. The display will remind you alternately of the temperature selected and the amount of time left until cooking is complete. When the end cooking time selected previously is up , the word “end” will be displayed and a sequence of acoustic signals will be emitted to indicate that cooking is comple­te.
Press any button to silence the acoustic signal.
Turn knob B back to position 0 to remove the word “end” from the displa y.
DO NOT WORRY IF
1 you see ventilated air exiting the o ven f or a while when
cooking is complete: it is due to the normal cooling phase of the oven interior;
2 when using the “grill” mode, the top heating element
isn’t always on (red in colour): its operation is controlled by a thermostat;
The icon A will remind you that you hav e programmed the cooking time and/or the end cooking time.
T o cancel a programmed time
T o cancel an y programming you ha ve made, set knob “B” to position “0”.
3 a blast of hot steam exits the ov en when you open the
door during cooking;
4 drops of water or steam form inside the oven if you

Cooking Advice
The oven off ers a wide range of alternatives which allows you to cook any type of food in the best possible w ay. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following are only a guide, which may be varied according to your o wn personal taste .
Cooking on More Than One Shelf
If you hav e to cook food on se veral shelv es, use either the “fan” mode or the “Multi-cooking” mode, as these are the only modes that allow you to do so . When cooking delicate food on more than one shelf, use the “fan” mode, which allows y ou to cook on 3 shelves at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the bottom). Some examples are included in the “Cooking Chart”.
When cooking other food on several shelves, use the “Multi-cooking” mode keeping the following suggestions in mind:
The oven is fitted with 5 shelves. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central shelves; the low­est and highest shelves receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these shelves.
As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat on the 2nd shelf from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on the 2nd shelf position from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom.
When cooking food that require differing times and temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere between the two temperatures required, place the more delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
Use the baking tray on the lo wer shelf position and the shelf on the upper;
Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode
Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use frozen or pre-cooked food along with other food items. You will find useful suggestions in the “Cooking Chart” .
Using the Grill
The “7 Chefs” oven offers you several different grilling modes. Use the “grill” mode, with the oven door ajar, placing the food in the centre of the grill pan (situated on the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom). When using this mode, we recommend you set the tem­perature control to the highest setting. Lower tempera­tures can also be set, simply by setting the temperature control to the temperature required. Setting “Fan grilling”, is e xtremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part. Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes. When using this mode, place the shelf on the 2nd or 3rd shelf position from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smok e from forming, place a baking tray on the 1st shelf position from the bottom.
Important: always cook in “Fan grilling” mode with the oven door shut. This will allow you both to obtain
excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%). When using this mode, we advise you to set the tempera­ture control to 200°C, as it is the most efficient wa y to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. How­ever, this does not mean you cannot use lower tempera­tures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the de­sired temperature.

Cooking Advice
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make sure you wait until the ov en has preheated thoroughly. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping. In gener al, if:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the tem peratur e by 10°C and r educ e the cooking time.
Pastry has dropped

Place it on a lower rack , lower the t emper atur e, and
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature and
increase the coo king time .

Use less liquid, lowe r the te mperat ure, a nd incr ease the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprink le it with a dusting o f flour or use greaseproo f paper .
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature settings from 180 °C to 200 °C. 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 from below , use the low shelf positions.
Cooking Pizza For best results when cooking pizza, use setting for “ Pizza Mode”:
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the shelf supplied with the oven. If the baking tray is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust;
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking;
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process .
If cooking on more than one shelf (up to 2), we advise you to use the Multi-cooking Mode as the Pizza Mode would heat the bottom shelf more than the others.
I used more than one level (in the function

Care and Cleaning
Befor carrying out any cleaning and maintenance to your appliance you must disconnect it from the power supply.
Inside the oven
We recommend you clean y our oven each time y ou use it, especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is used and would char and release smoke and unpleasant
odours.
Oven exterior
Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of your ov en using a sponge soaked in soapy water , making sure you rinse and dry these thoroughly , without using abra­sive 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,
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 f oil sheet in direct contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly .
Cleaning the accessories
The accessories (dripping pan, grid) should be cleaned in the sink using a damp sponge and ordinary detergent or even in y our dishwasher .
Rubber Seal
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 . 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 ov en until it has been repaired.
Disassembling 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,
- lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,
- shut the door, b ut 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 f ollowing the above procedures in reverse order.
