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 your 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 following the above 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 “F ast cooking” mode, the f an 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

T urn knob B to select the desired cooking mode. The oven
will immediately start the pre-heating phase, during which

the icon m will flash on the displa y , and the cooking tem­perature associated with the mode selected will be

displayed: should this value not be the one you desire,

oven combines the advantages of traditional

you can modify it simply by turning knob C.
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 pre-

heated 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 “Programming 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 fail to
be adjusted, the oven will be automatically turned off once
this time is up.

Notice: Place the o ven tr ay pro vided 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 eral r ac ks . Using the different rac k
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”.

7

The Controls

This cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably
prolonged cooking times, such as for e xample: lasagne, pasta
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 g rill makes
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 o ven door ajar during cooking.

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking
Advice” par agraph.
Turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the different
energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%)
and maximum (100%) settings.

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 tra y
or rack at a time. Howev er, if more than one is used, these
must be switched halfwa y through the cooking process.

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 few
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 “F ast cooking” mode
are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second
from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Cooking
Advice”.

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 m ust be done with the oven door
shut.

The “fan grilling” mode is ideal for cooking grouper steaks,
tuna, swordfish, stuff ed cuttlefish etc.

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.

knob C. Press the OK button to store the setting. The tem-
perature 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 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 display.

For example
It is 9:00 a.m. and a cooking time of 1 hour and 15 min utes
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 min utes .

Delayed cooking programming

Press button 5 and then adjust the cooking time by turning
knob C. Press the OK button to store the setting. The tem-
perature 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 button to store the setting. The displa y 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 display.

DO NO T W ORR Y IF

Cooking Advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.
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 have to cook f ood on sever al shelves, 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 you 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 follo wing 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 low er shelf position and the
shelf on the upper;

Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode

Functional, fast and practical for those of y ou 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 extremely useful for grilling f oods
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 smoke 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 way 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. Mak e
sure you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly.
Do not open the oven door during baking to prev ent the
cake from dropping. In gener al, if:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the tem perat ure by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.

Pastry has dropped

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lowe r the temp eratu re by 10°C.

Pastry is too dark on top

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 .

It is cooked well on the inside but sticky on the

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside

Use less liquid, lower the tem perat ure, a nd incr ease
the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to th e 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 f or 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.

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 av oid ha ving 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 foil sheet in direct
contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and
damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibl y.

Cleaning the rotisserie and other accessories

The rotisserie can be removed completely thanks to the 2
wing nuts. The elements comprising the rotisserie assembly
should be cleaned together with the other accessories
(dripping pan, grid) in the sink using a damp sponge and
ordinary detergent or even in your dishwasher .

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 ollo wing the abov e procedures
in rev erse order.

Replacing the Oven Lamp

• Disconnect the oven from the pow er supply by means

of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the
plug is accessible.

• Remove the glass cov er of the lamp-holder;

• Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to

high temperatures (300°C) with the following charac­teristics:

- V oltage: 230/240 V

- Wattage 25W

- Type E14

• Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to

the power supply.

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.

person in compliance with the instructions provided.

The panels of the adjacent cabinets must be made of heat­resistant material. In particular, cabinets with a veneer e x­terior must be assembled with glues which can withstand
temperatures of up to 100 °C.
In compliance with current safety standards, contact with
the electrical parts of the oven must not be possible once
it has been installed.
All parts which ensure the safe operation of the appliance
must be removab le only with the aid of a tool.
For the correct centring of your appliance, position the 4
tabs on the sides of the oven in correspondence with the
4 holes on the perimeter of the frame. In particular , if the
cabinet side panel:

• is 20 mm thick: the remo vable part of the tab must be
