The Cooking Modes
in your Cooker

Your new cooker is equipped with a number of
different cooking modes:

Conventional Heating (Top Oven)

- with upper and lower heat. This system is
particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one
shelf only.

Variable Grilling (Top Oven)

- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling
with a full or half width fully controllable grill.
Note: The Top Oven door should be open when
grilling.

Fan Oven (Main 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).

Roast Chicken (Main Oven)

- specially created for cooking excellent roast
poultry. This mode can be used to roast chickens,
duck, turkey and other poultry to perfection. Each
heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee a
homogeneous temperature within the oven. A
temperature is suggested on this mode but this can
be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Fish (Main Oven)

- this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear
heat to lightly poach fish dishes without overcooking
or drying out. A temperature is suggested on this
mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control
knob.

Rising (Main Oven)

- this mode heats and holds the oven at 40°C. It is
ideal for proving bread and yeast based dough
mixtures. When this mode is selected a cooking
duration of 14 minutes is automatically set, this can
be altered by pressing the 'time/mode' button until
the cooking duration icon flashes. Then use the '+/-'
control knob to adjust the cooking duration.

GB

Traditional (Main Oven)

- the upper and rear heating elements are switched
on in this position. The traditional oven brings an
outstanding level of temperature distribution and
reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use
only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By
using the various shelf positions available you can
balance the quantity of heat between the upper and
lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below
or above, use the lower or higher shelves
respectively.

Roast Meat (Main Oven)

- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This
mode raises the temperature in the oven to a very
high heat for the first part of the cooking cycle to
seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices of
the meat throughout cooking. After this the
temperature is reduced to the set temperature using
each heating element in turn to guarantee a
homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A
temperature is suggested on this mode but this can
be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Bread cycle - Auto

- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour.
When this mode is selected the time and
temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for
baking bread weighing up to 1.5kg, either in a tin or
on a baking tray. This mode includes a proving
cycle and a baking cycle. If an initial proving cycle
is needed this can be done using the RISE mode
(8). Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe
book supplied with the cooker.

Cake cycle - Auto

- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour.
When this mode is selected the time and
temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for
baking sponge based cakes that take between 30
minutes and 1 hour to cook. Some recipe ideas are
included in the recipe book supplied with the
cooker.

before attempting to use the automatic cooking
feature.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

- Select food which will require the same cooking

time and temperature.

- To ensure food does not cool down and require

reheating, set the end time so the food is ready
when you require it.

- Always ensure that meat and poultry is

defrosted before placing in the oven.

- Whenever possible, take food out of the

refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.

- If cooking food that requires frying before

placing in the oven for automatic cooking, keep
the delay time to a minimum.

- Never place hot or warm food in the oven for

delayed start cooking as it could cause the oven
to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the
food.

- We advise that dishes containing left-over

cooked poultry and meat, eg. shepherds pie,
should not be cooked automatically if there is to
be a delay period.

-Ensure that delay start times are kept to a

minimum to prevent bacterial growth in food.

- Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle

during the delay period, so it is best to add
these ingredients just before serving.

- 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.

- Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too

full to prevent boiling over.

- 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.

- Always ensure that food is piping hot and

cooked thoroughly bifore serving.

- Only reheat food once.

The Working of the Heating Zones

Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating
elements off and on automatically to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass.

Choice of saucepans

It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.

ALWAYS USE:

Solar

lo (dual circuit)
1500 W
145mm x 250mm diameter

• Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy

bases.

• saucepan's manufactured from aluminium

(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.

• Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan

must cover the heating zone completely.

• saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to

reduce cooking time and energy use.

NEVER USE:

• Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as

these will extend cooking times, waste electricity
and cause damaging, local hotspots on the
glass surface.

• Pans with ridged or recessed bases.

• Pans with damaged or rough bases which could

scratch the glass surface.

• Glass or glass ceramic utensils.

Do Not

In order to keep your ceramic hob in good
condition, follow these simple guidelines:

Do not stare at halogen heating units.
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a

cooking utensil, as this will result in damage
to the surface of the hob.

Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as

damage may occur to the smooth surface of
the hob.

Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as

this will cause scratches in the surface of the
hob.

Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact

with the hob surround.

Do not place anything between the base

of the utensil and the ceramic
hob, e.g. do not use asbestos
mats, aluminium or wok stand.

Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible

items on the hob when it is not in use.

Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic

containers on the hob.

Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas

switched On unless they are being used.

Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they

are switched On. We recommend not to
place large preserving pans or fish kettles
across two heating areas.

Do not leave utensils partly covering the

heated areas. Always ensure that
they are placed centrally over the
heated areas and have the same
diameter as the heating area used.

Do

Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both

clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.

14

We do not recommend the use of utensils with a
base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be
used on the front cooking areas.

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned

safely.

Always take extra care when cooking foods with a

high sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will
cause damage to the surface of the glass.

Always clean spills immediately (see Care and

Cleaning).

IMPORTANT  As with any cooking appliance
there could be some fire risk attached to the heating
of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking
utensils containing oil must not be left
unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in
close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely
cover the appropriate heating area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat
or oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the
heating or cooking period.

4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time,
especially frozen food. This only lowers the
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting
in greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and
lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen
foods, in particular, will cause frothing and
spitting if added too quickly.

6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from
streaks of oil or fat.

8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the
hob.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying

In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:

1. Switch Off the electricity supply.
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and

injuries are caused almost invariably by picking
up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.

2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan
fire, as the force of the extinguisher is likely to
tip the pan over.
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that
you FACE and ARMS are WE

LL PROTECTED

from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.

3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE
PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES
BEFORE MOVING IT.

4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade
immediately.

CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when
the grill is in use - children should be kept away.

Grilling must be done with the top oven door open.
Control knobs may become

The operation of the controls is covered in
The Controls on page 6.

Remember the grill will not operate until the top
oven control is in the '0' off position.

To operate the grill proceed as follows:

hot during grilling.

• Open the grill/top oven door.

• When toasting or grilling, the rod shelf can be

placed on either of the runners.

• Preheat the grill on setting 4 for approximately 5

minutes, using either the single (left hand side)
or twin width setting, depending on the amount
of food to be cooked.

• Fixing the grill pan handle - Ensure that the

handle is secure before use (see figs 1,2 and 3
on next page). The food to be cooked should be
placed on the grill pan/grill pan grid. Place the
grill pan on the shelf and push back until the pan
is correctly positioned beneath the grill element.

Notes

When positioning the grill pan, for grilling, ensure
that the grill pan handles do not become 'caught' in
the oven shelf. Before use ensure the grill pan
handle is positioned correctly.

• Food which only requires browning should be

placed directly on the shelf, on either of the
runners.

• Leave the control at setting 4 for toast and for

the sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker
foods requiring longer cooking, turn the control
to a lower setting after the initial sealing on both
sides on setting 4. The thicker the food the lower
the control should be set.

WARNING: Take care as oven/grill will be hot ­always wear oven gloves.

HAZARD.

M OF THE PAN COULD CAUSE A FIRE

Fixing the Grill Pan handle

Using the grill pan kit

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:

1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
hooks embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)

2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)
and holds the pan from the bottom.

The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into
the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of
smoke.

Top Oven ­Conventional Cooking

The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is
provided by the grill element and the element under
the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of
cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also
be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).
The operation of the controls is covered in The
Controls on page 6.
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf
positioning.
The top oven can be used either independently to
cook small quantities of food or in conjunction with
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.

• The shelf should be positioned on the first or

second runner from the bottom.

To use the oven proceed as follows:

• Set the top oven control to the required

temperature, the top oven light will come on and
wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating
that the oven has reached the right temperature.

• The food to be cooked should be placed in the

centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm
(1in) between it and the grill element. This should
avoid burning and ensure even cooking.

• Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the

oven.

25 mm (1 in)

Platewarming in the top oven

Plates and dishes placed on shelf 1 of the top oven
will be heated when the main oven is in use.
When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a
meal is being cooked on the hob, place the plates and
serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner
and turn the top oven control to approximately 100°C.
A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is required
to heat the plates and dishes.

NEVER operate the grill control when using the top
oven for cooking or warming plates and dishes.

WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items, china, or
items which could be affected by heat into the
oven.
If using aluminium foil, never:

1. Allow foil to touch sides of oven.

2. Cover oven interior with foil.

3. Cover shelves with foil.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE
COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER CONTROL
PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED
AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners
on the appliance.

!

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

! The accessories can be washed like everyday

crockery (even in your dishwasher).

Cleaning of the Ceramic Hob

Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused

before cleaning, spillage will be baked on
and be very difficult to remove.

Always switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control

panel.

To minimise cleaning:

Always take care and avoid spills.
Always use a Ceramic Hob Cleaner-Conditioner

whenever cleaning is done. The Cleaner­Conditioner forms a protective film on the

hob and contains a mild detergent which
makes cleaning easier. Hotpoint has a
Cleaner-Conditioner which can be obtained,
either through a local Hotpoint Service Centre
or retailer, part no.6004.

To clean off stubborn stains, the following can be
used when the surface has cooled:

1. Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.

2. Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by

carefully using a glass scraper.

3. Hard water stains, grease spots and any

discolouration having a metallic sheen can be
removed with Solvol Autosol Super or any non
abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

After cleaning, always use the Cleaner-Conditioner and
finish it off by polishing with a clean, dry paper towel.

Never use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as

they can damage the surface of the hob.

The visual effect of any scratches which may occur
in use can be minimised by the use of Cleaner­Conditioner. Such scratches cannot be removed but
do not affect the function of the hob in any way.

WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH T
COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER CONTROL

PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED
AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.

'Stay Clean'

'Stay Clean' liners are covered with a special enamel
which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures
the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal
cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning
to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking
temperatures are not used regularly then it may be
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the
oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours,
from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' liners can be
washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in
clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh
abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.

Oven Fittings

The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a
dishwasher or by using a fine steel wool soap pad.
The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in warm
soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to
remove stubborn stains or in a dishwasher.
They should be cleaned after each use.

Oven Interiors

To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven
fittings and where applicable the 'Stay Clean' liners.
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not
allow abrasive cleaners or oven spray to come into
contact with the 'Stay Clean' liners. Use a fine steel
wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.

Oven Door Cleaning

The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy
cleaning, see Care and Cleaning.

Cooker Exterior

The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly
to keep it looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth
wrung out in warm water and dry with a soft clean
cloth. You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but
always read the manufacturer's instructions first.
Always test their suitability on a small area of the
cooker not noticeable in normal use.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),

requires that old household electrical appliances
must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
