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 appliance is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be
accepted for use in any other installation.

When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,

To help remove the ‘new’ smell, heat up the empty ovens to maximum temperature for a
minimum of two or three hours, keeping the oven doors closed. 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.

The Cooking Systems in your Double Oven

Your new oven is equipped with
three different cooking systems:

1

2

3

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 17.)

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.

Lights (N.B. Not all models have a top oven interior light).

The main oven has a light only position.

Slow Cooking The main oven has a “Slow Cook Setting” this can be used for slow

cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for a short period.

Note: It is advisable to check that all oven controls have been switched off when
you have finished using the appliance.

9

Oven Timer Operation

Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the
timer control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only
during the same automatic cooking programme.

NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically
because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause
bacterial growth in food.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time
so the food is ready when you require it.

3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.

4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as
possible.

5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto
cooking, keep the delay start time to a minimum.

6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could
cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.

7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay
period.

8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial
growth in food.

9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it
is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

10. 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.

11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

12. 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.

13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.

14. Only reheat food once.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is
designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is
combined with a heating element situated underneath 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 so that the element is directly above. As a
guide, the front of the utensil should be approx.100mm (4”) from the front of
the shelf.

Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to
increase or decrease cooking times.

DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR

There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and
the grill element.

WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot when the main oven is in use.

DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the top oven is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.

Operation when using the Top Oven
as a Convection Oven

TOP OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.

Step 2 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Temperature Charts).

Step 3 Select the required cooking temperature, (100–220˚C or MAX depending

on Model) using control (B) (see Top Oven Temperature Charts).
The pilot light ( ● ) will immediately come on, and remain 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.

Step 4 Place the food centrally on the shelf below the element ensuring the oven

door is closed.

NOTE: At the end of your cooking, always return control (B) to the OFF (O)
position.

PLATE WARMING

Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and turn

If using aluminium foil, never: 1. Allow foil to touch sides of oven. 2. Cover oven interior with foil. 3. Cover shelves with foil.

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

Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For
guides on ‘pre-heating’, ‘cooking temperatures’ and ‘cooking times’ see “Oven
Temperature Charts” later in this book.

Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be

MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities
of food. (NB. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).

Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for cooking.

DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.

MAIN OVEN UTENSILS

DO NOT use: Meat Pans larger than - 375mm x 300mm (15"x12")

necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be
necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

Baking Trays larger than - 325mm x 250mm (13"x10")

TEMPERATURE & TIME

When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be
necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few
minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and
larger mass of food. Baking trays shold have an even gap around the oven.

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.

24

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions

FAN ONLY SETTING

DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a
refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3
hours per lb.).
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.

However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non­heating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.

OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:

Place food in the oven and close the oven door.

Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the
setting.

This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend
on type and size of the food.

NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.

Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are 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 defrosted using the fan only setting, where
possible it is recommended that the food should be small & thin.

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

Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting
up to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).

It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately
after defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after
defrosting.

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

LIGHT ONLY SETTING

When the Main Oven Temperature & Function Control (C) is turned clockwise to
the setting, the main oven light only will illuminate.

25

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions

‘S’ SLOW COOK SETTING

This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short
periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be
damaged in a hot
oven.

DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven
lining and the plates which are being warmed.

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.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.

OPERATION:

1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.

2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‘S’ by turning Main Oven Temperature &
Function Control (C) clockwise.

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:

1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container
and cool as soon as possible.

2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.

3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.

4. Only re-heat food once.

POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING

1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room
for air to circulate.

2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however,
it they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance
may be noticed.

3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking
on the slow setting.

4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170
before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air
circulation) before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking
immediately.

5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking
with a meat thermometer before serving.

6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend
placing frozen food in the oven to cook.

7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.

8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top
with foil to prevent loss of moisture.

9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook
properly.

10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.

11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and
then boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any
toxins.

12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to
avoid overcooking.

Care and Cleaning

Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off
and the appliance is fully cold.

1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS

TOP OVEN SIDES

MAIN OVEN REAR PANEL

AND SIDES

(a) How "Stayclean" works.

The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners (Main Oven
rear panel) are treated 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.

(b) Cleaning.

In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C
(425°F) 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 ovens without shelves or
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.

DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage
the “Stayclean” oven liners.

Installation

Electrical Requirements

For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a
competent person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National
Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be
installed in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

Electrical Connections

The installer must check that the voltage shown on the rating plate
corresponds with the house electricity supply.
The cooker must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a
contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible
position adjacent to the cooker.
If the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind
the cooker providing the following requirements are met:
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm.
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 130mm above floor level.

Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the cooker. Pass the cable
through the cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.
Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing.
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover.
Make main connections in the connector unit or cooker control unit.
This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and
Television reception interference.
A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating of 32 amps should be used
to feed the cooker using a suitably rated cable.
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole
control switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated
cables.
We recommend a minimum of 4mm
conforming to B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.

2

PVC insulated twin and earth cable

32

In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 4).

This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates
heat such as a plinth heater.

Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not supplied

with this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of cable.

Installation

Important

It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated
i.e. having side, back, and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which
could permit access to the oven unit when installed.

1. General

The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which
must be secured to the backing wall.

2. Ventilation

a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4.
b. An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or

bottom cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).

c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation,

i.e. 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 in fig. 1.

d. The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet

space. 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 (see fig. 1).

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 maybe stain the
adjacent surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface
should be made of a material that is heat resisting and easy to clean.
Adjacent tall cabinets should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.

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 spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.

Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.

c. Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing

wall for stability.

d. The oven unit should now be lifted (this is a two person lift) into the cabinet

and pushed fully home.

e. Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Phillips C/SK

Head screws - two through each side trim.

f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.

Hotpoint will replace your appliance or, if you prefer,
give you your money back. Your statutory rights are
not affected, and the Guarantee is additional and
subject to the terms of Hotpoint’s Five Year Parts
Guarantee.

Hotpoint’s Free Five Year Guarantee

From the moment your appliance is delivered
Hotpoint guarantees it for FIVE YEARS.

• In the Five Years all replacement parts are FREE
provided that they are fitted by our own Service
Engineer. During the first year our Engineer’s time
and labour is also free.

• Our guarantee covers loss of food in our
refrigeration and freezer products up to £250
during the first year, subject to verification by one
of our engineers.

• After the first year we will charge for our
Engineer’s time and labour. We do, however,
operate a range of Service Plans (see opposite)
which, for an annual payment, enables you to cover
any repair costs which may be necessary.

• All our service repairs are guaranteed for twelve
months in respect of our labour and any parts
fitted.

• The appliance must be used in the United Kingdom,
and must not be tampered with or taken apart by
anyone other than our own Service Engineers.

• You may, however, buy parts which can be safely
fitted without specialist knowledge or equipment.
The correct fitting of such parts, provided they are
genuine Hotpoint spares, will not affect your
Guarantee. Parts are available from our Hotpoint
Spares Centres (see back page).

• Our guarantee does not cover the cost of any
repair, or loss of food in refrigeration products,
due to power failure, accidents or misuse. Nor does
it cover the cost of any visits to advise you on the
use of your appliance. Please read thoroughly the
instruction book supplied with this appliance.

• If at any time during the Guarantee period we are
unable to repair your appliance, we will refund any
repair costs paid to us in the previous twelve
months. We will also offer you a new appliance at a
reduced charge instead of a repair.

• Our Guarantee is in addition to and does not affect
your legal rights.

• Should you need independent advice on your
consumer rights, help is available from your
Consumer Advice Centre, Law Centre, Trading
Standards Department and Citizens Advice Bureau.

• All Hotpoint servicing is carried out by our own
Service Organisation located throughout the
United Kingdom and Eire. We will be happy to deal
with any problems which you may have.

Hotpoint’s Extended Warranties

Whether you have just one or a number of Hotpoint
appliances in your kitchen, Hotpoint has a range of
Service Plans to give you complete peace of mind.
They enable you to extend your one year labour
guarantee so that you can have repairs completed
FREE during the membership period.

Service Cover

We offer a number of payment methods; cheque,
credit card or you can spread the cost and pay by
direct debit (full details can be obtained on Free
phone [phone]). This covers you for all repairs
during the period of cover, which can be from 1 to 4
years. Service Cover also includes loss of food, up
to the value of £250, in refrigeration appliances.
There is also an option of Service Cover with
Maintenance at an additional cost. This includes an
annual Electrical and Safety check and replacement
of any parts as necessary.

Kitchen Cover

An annual payment covers you for all repairs for all
your Hotpoint appliances which are less than ten
years old. It also covers the cost of loss of food up
to £250 in our refrigeration and freezer products.
There is also the option of Kitchen Cover with
Maintenance at an additional cost. Any additional
Hotpoint appliances purchased after you have
joined Hotpoint Kitchen Cover will automatically be
included during the annual period of cover without
further charge.

Appliance Registration

To ensure that you have the opportunity to benefit
from any of the above Service Schemes and other
offers you should complete and return immediately
the Appliance Registration Form/Questionnaire
supplied with this appliance. Full details and costs of
our Service Schemes, together with an application
form, will be sent to you at the end of the first year
of the guarantee.

Annual Safety/Maintenance Checks

Hotpoint strongly recommends that all its
appliances are regularly checked for electrical and
mechanical safety, whether or not they are covered
by a Service Plan. Worn door gaskets or hoses may
cause a leak on an appliance, which could become
dangerous if neglected.

Proof of Purchase

For future reference please attach your purchase
receipt to this booklet and keep it in a safe place.

Spares and Accessories

Spares and accessories can be ordered from your
local Hotpoint Spares Centre (see back page), using
the order form enclosed.
NOTE: Our Engineers will use every effort to avoid
damage to floor coverings and adjacent units when
carrying out repairs/service work, but in locations
where the Engineer advises you that it will be
impossible to move appliances without risk of
damage, he will only proceed with your approval
that no liability is accepted.
