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.

! 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

Cooking modes

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking

modes between 60°C and Max, except for

 BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power

level);

 GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

LEAVENING mode

The oven reaches and maintains a temperature of

40°C irrespective of the position of the THERMOSTAT

knob. This mode is ideal for leavening dough made

with yeast.

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come

on. With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use

one cooking rack only: if more than one rack is used,

the heat distribution will be uneven.

BAKING mode

The rear heating element and the fan come on,

guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and

uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for

baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such

as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain

tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.

PIZZA mode

The heating elements (bottom and circular) and the

fan come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly

by producing a considerable amount of heat,

particularly from the bottom element. If you use more

than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of

the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

BARBECUE mode

The top heating element come on. The high and direct

temperature of the grill is recommended for food that

requires high surface temperature. Always cook in this

mode with the oven door closed.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element as well as the fan come on.

This combination of features increases the

effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of

the heating elements through forced circulation of the

air throughout the oven.

This helps prevent food from burning on the surface,

allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food.

Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

GB

FAST COOKING mode

The heating elements and the fan come on,

guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and

uniformly throughout the oven.

Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode.

This mode is especially recommended for cooking

pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The

best results are obtained if you use one cooking rack

only.

MULTI-COOKING mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as

well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains

constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and

browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may

be used at the same time.

9

GB

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-

assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn

temperature sensitive foods.

! In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes,

particularly when using the rotisserie, place the

dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues

(fat and/or grease).

MULTI-COOKING

 Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires

more heat on 2.

 Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack

on top.

BARBECUE

 Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in

the centre of the rack.

 We recommend that you set the maximum power

level. The top heating element is regulated by a

thermostat and may not always be on.

PIZZA MODE

 Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the

rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan

(prevents crust from forming by extending cooking

time).

 If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend

adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza

halfway through the cooking process.

Recycling & Disposal Information

As part of Hotpoint's continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to

use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.

Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.

To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush with the

appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged

into a mains socket, and the door cannot be locked shut.
