Introduction
Your new electric oven is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only 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 oven is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
Note: When the oven is first used, an odour may be omitted - this will cease after a short period of use.
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a minimum of two to three hours,
keeping the door/s closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. 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 any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:
(a) Has been used solely in accordance with this booklet.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate, attached to the
appliance.
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the
manufacturers authorised employee or agent.
(d) Has been correctly installed.

THE COOKING FUNCTION SELECTOR
It comprises 10 marks represented in order by the following
pictograms:
«0» : stop
: oven light
The oven light stays on during cooking, in whatever
cooking mode (with the exception of Fast Clean).
If you decide to delay the cooking start, the oven light
comes on as soon as you programme the start and stays
on until the cooking is finished.
: "Traditional"
This cooking mode is suitable for cooking individual dishes.
Two heating elements (one at the top of the oven and the
other at the bottom) work together.
The air heats up upon contact with these heat sources,
and circulates around the inside of the oven to provide
uniform heat, as the hot, lighter air tends to rise. This is
caused by natural convection. This cooking mode is
especially recommended when cooking simmered recipes
using covered casserole dishes (hotpots, tripe, etc.) or
for Bain Marie cooking (crème caramel, terrines, etc.).
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.
nd
shelf position from the oven bottom.
: "Fast cooking"
The combination of all the heating elements together with
the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout
the oven.
This particular cooking mode is ideal for fast cooking
(not requiring any pre-heating) and for cooked dishes
(frozen, pre-cooked food).
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom.
: "Multicooking"
The combination of all the heating elements together with
the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout
the oven.
This cooking mode is recommended for cooking several
dishes on more than one shelf.
Even if the dishes vary in nature, their respective flavours
are maintained during cooking.
When using this cooking mode, all the dishes should
require the same cooking temperature (you just need to
take them out gradually as each one is ready). When
cooking on two shelves, for example, use the baking tray
as a dish support on the first shelf position from the bottom
and the shelf on the third shelf position from the bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.
: "Pastry"
Only the circular heating element at the back of the oven
and the fan come on to provide delicate heat, suitable for
baking cakes and pastries such as brioches, chocolate
cake, fruitcake, sponge cake, mini cup cakes, meringues,
etc.
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.
: "Pizza"
The heating elements (bottom and circular) are turned on
to heat the oven up quickly.
Your pizzas and tarts will benefit from a greater amount
of heat from below, thus guaranteeing the rapid baking of
the dough during cooking. As for the fan, the latter browns
the surface as necessary, making the food even more
appetising.
Use the baking tray as a dish support and place it on the
1st shelf position from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.

The Controls
: "Grill"
The top heating element comes on: the grill goes red and
emits infrared rays. This cooking mode does not
essentially intend to heat up the air inside the oven, but
rather to expose the food directly to these rays.
Use this cooking mode with the oven door closed.
We recommend you start with the oven cold.
The amount of heat radiated is adjustable on the
temperature selector.
Place the grill pan on the first shelf position from the bottom
in order to catch any fat or juices that may drip from the
dish and place the shelf on one of the top shelf positions
depending on the size of the meat.
: "Gratin"
Only the top heating element comes on, with the emission
of infrared rays. The forced circulation of air caused by
the fan at the back of the oven ensures the uniform
distribution of heat throughout, and all foods benefit from
the following at the same time:
• the infrared rays that guarantee the perfect cooking
of the food surface, sealing in the tenderness and juices
in the case of meat,
• the hot air that also allows for the food to be cooked
thoroughly via conduction.
This cooking mode is recommended when cooking roasts
(red or white meats), and for poultry.
Place the shelf on the 2nd shelf position from the oven
bottom as a support for the meat and the grill pan on the
1st shelf position from the bottom to catch any dripping
fat or juices.
Always place your food in the oven when it is cold.
Continued ventilation
The fan stays on when cooking is finished in order to cool
the oven down. So do not worry if you hear the fan going
even after you have turned the controls off. The fan will
stop when the temperature has dropped below 120°C.
: Fast Clean
This process cleans the oven fully.
For further details on the oven's fast clean properties,
please see Fast Clean section.
Your oven is equipped with a rotisserie, you can use it
with the functions grill and gratin. Always keep the oven
door shut when using the rotisserie and start with the oven
cold in order to avoid scalding yourselves when positioning
the spit.
Place the grill pan on the 1st shelf position from the bottom
to catch any dripping fat or juices and position the rotisserie
on the 3rd shelf position from the oven bottom (please see
the next paragraph for instructions on positioning the
rotisserie).
When using the "grill" or "gratin" modes, remember
to keep children away from the accessible parts of
the appliance as they become very hot.

The accessories
Wing screw
Spit
Spit handle
Prong
Spit cradle
Your oven offers you many differing cooking modes. These
can only be achieved thanks to a number of accessories
which we have chosen for you.
These accessories slide in and out of the different shelf
positions inside your oven and can thus be positioned
according to the individual cooking requirements of differing
foods and dishes.
The grill pan / baking tray
Use it:
• as a grill pan or baking tray. There is a grid to grill food
on which fits into the grill pan.
• as a dish support for all dishes when cooking on
one rack only and in Bain Marie cooking,
• as a support for food (mini cup cakes, etc.),
• as a drip tray to catch juices and fat dripping from
food situated on the rod shelf.
We advise against using the baking tray / grill pan on the 4th
and 5th shelf positions from the oven bottom.
The large rod shelf
Always use this with the edges upwards and together with
the grill pan.
• When it is positioned on the 2nd shelf position from the
oven bottom, it acts as a meat support, with the grill pan
placed on the 1st shelf position from the bottom to catch
any dripping fat or juices.
• When it is positioned on the top shelf position
(depending on the size of the foodstuff) for grilled food,
the grill pan is to be placed on the 1st shelf position from
the oven bottom to catch any dripping fat or juices.
• When it is positioned on the top shelf position for
cooking on more than one shelf.
We advise against placing meat directly onto the grill
pan when using the "gratin" mode as the fat and juices
heated from below in this particular cooking mode could
in fact char and splash onto the oven inside panels and
create smoke.
The rotisserie
This accessory is ideal for roasting meats, as it rotates the
meat slowly and browns uniformly until cooking is finished. It
is comprised of the following:
• a support situated on the 3rd shelf position from the
oven bottom so the rotisserie fits into the hollow shaft
of the rotisserie motor located at the back of the oven,
behind the perforated oven back panel.
• a spit that passes through the roast, which is kept
firmly in place on both ends by two adjustable sliding
forks each fastened onto the spit by means of a wing
nut.
Warning: when positioning the rotisserie assembly, ensure
the spit fits firmly into the hollow shaft connected to the motor.
Make sure you position the following correctly:
- the spit in the centre of the roast
- the roast at an equal distance from both ends of the spit.
• a removable handle made of insulating material to
screw onto the front of the spit allows you:
- to have a rotisserie which is long enough for even
the largest of roasts
- to avoid scalding yourself when removing the roast
at the end of cooking.
Screw on the handle tightly to take out the spit (the handle
should be removed from the spit during cooking).
Rotisserie timer
This oven is fitted with a rotisserie timing device.
When cooking is finished, the rotisserie motor continues to
turn the spit and only comes to a stop when the temperature
inside the oven has dropped sufficiently: this prevents the
surface of the meat from burning.
When cooking is finished, leave the function selector set to
the cooking mode under way and set the temperature
selector back to the minimum setting.

Care and Cleaning
Glass door
Seal
Lamp
Oven
compartment
Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off
the main switch before all operations.
Inside the oven
We recommend you clean your oven each time you 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 oven 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 must
never 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
irreversibly.
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, but 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 following the above procedures
in reverse order.

Cleaning the rotisserie and other accessories
The rotisserie can be removed completely using the 2 wing
nuts. The elements comprising the rotisserie assembly
should be cleaned together with the other accessories
(baking tray, shelf) in the sink using a damp sponge and
ordinary detergent or in your 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 oven until it has been repaired.
Replacing the oven lamp
- Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch
off the main switch before all operations.
- With the aid of a narrow, flat item (such as a screwdriver
or a spoon handle, etc…), remove the glass cover.
- Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another featuring
the same characteristics:
- voltage 230/240 W
- wattage 25 W
- type E 14
- Replace the glass cover and ensure you reposition the
seal correctly.

Fast clean
Safety
In fast clean mode, the temperature inside the oven reaches
500°, which is necessary for the destruction of food and fat
residue, as illustrated below.
Given this high temperature, your oven is fitted with some
safety devices:
• the oven door is locked automatically as soon as
the temperature reaches 125°C in order to avoid risks
of burns.
• the heating elements are no longer powered if an
anomaly occurs.
Note:
1. Despite the high temperatures inside the oven during the
pyrolytic self-cleaning process, the external surfaces of the
appliance remain luke warm, thanks to:
- a reinforced insulation of the oven compartment.
- a fan that ensures the circulation of air to cool down
the oven wall panels.
2. When looking through the oven door, you may notice some
particles that light up when they are destroyed by pyrolysis
upon contact with the heating elements: this is simply
spontaneous combustion, it is extremely normal and
without danger.
How to start the cleaning process
• Take all the accessories out of the oven. Remove the
toughest grease and food spots and especially all
substantial overflows in order to avoid the creation of
flames or smoke.
• Shut the oven door.
• Turn the function selector to
• Programme it..You can choose between:
- an immediate start
- a delayed start
• The pyrolytic self-cleaning process takes approximately
90 minutes.
What happens during the fast clean process?
When the temperature reaches 325°C, the oven door is
automatically locked: the letter "P" comes up on the display,
along with the remaining process time, as it decreases.
The oven door stays locked for as long as the temperature
inside the oven remains high.
What happens at the end of the fast clean
cycle?
Precautions to be taken before performing the
fast clean process
1- Try to remove the larger food residue from inside the
oven using a wet sponge. We highly advise against the use
of detergents or all other products recommended for cleaning
ovens.
2- Remove all the accessories from the oven: they are
not designed to withstand such high temperatures. What's
more, some of these accessories would alter the result of
the pyrolytic self-cleaning process and obstruct the circulation
of heat inside the oven. The accessories can easily be
cleaned like everyday crockery and are dishwasher-proof.
3- Don't leave any tea towels on the oven door handle.
Warning: the oven surfaces may get hot during the fast
clean process: keep children well away.
When the process is over, "P.0.00" comes up on the display.
To be able to open the oven door, you will have to:
- wait for the temperature inside the oven to have dropped to
an acceptable level.
- have to set the function control back to O.
You will notice some white dust deposits on the bottom and
sides of the oven, remove them with a damp sponge when
the oven has cooled down completely.
If on the other hand you want to take advantage of the heat
accumulated during the process to start cooking, the dust
can stay where it is: it is completely harmless and will not
affect your food.

The appliance must be installed only by a qualified
person in compliance with the instructions provided.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for improper
installation which may harm persons and animals and
damage property.
Important: The power supply to the appliance must be
cut off before any adjustments or maintenance work is
done on it.
Installation of Built-in Ovens
In order to ensure that the built-in appliance functions properly, the cabinet containing it must be appropriate. The
figure below gives the dimensions of the cut-out for
installation (N.B.: Installation in compliance with the
consumption declaration)
under the counter or in a wall
cabinet unit.

The panels of the adjacent cabinets must be made of heatresistant material. In particular, cabinets with a veneer
exterior 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 removable 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 removable part of the tab must be
removed (Fig. A);
• is 18 mm thick: use the first groove, which is factory-
set (Fig. B);
• is 16 mm thick: use the second groove (Fig. C).

cable clamp and close the cover.
Power cable supply connection to the electrical
mains:
We recommend you use a power supply cable which is
long enough to allow you to take the oven out of its recess
in the event of maintenance operations (only use HAR - H
05 - RRF quality cables fitted with a plug conforming to
the regulations in force.
The plug must be accessible at all times.
Unplug the appliance before all operations, even when
replacing the oven lamp.
Using the appliance without correct earthing is highly
dangerous.

Troubleshooting
If your oven releases a lot of smoke during cooking:
• Make sure you have selected the correct cooking mode for the type of dish you want to prepare and that you have
selected the right accessories and put the dish in the oven at the recommended rack height.
• Check the temperature selected: is it too high for the type of cooking required.
• Check the degree of soil of the oven, and whether it needs to be cleaned. Food residue encrusted onto the enamel
coating inside the oven becomes charred and creates both smoke and pungent smells.
• Splashes of grease or overflows onto very hot surfaces could create smoke.
Notice: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system which
detects any malfunctions. The user is informed of the latter
by messages such as:
• "FnFm" (n and m are numbers): in these cases, contact
your nearest Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS,
back page).
