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 Controls

This multi-function oven combines the advantages of a
convection oven with those of a fan assisted model, in a
single appliance. It is extremely versatile allowing you to
choose easily and safely between 5 different cooking modes.
The various features offered by your oven are selected by
means of function selector “B” and temperature selector “C”
situated on the control panel. Choose one of the functions
according to the food to be cooked and follow the relevant
instructions as detailed on the next page.

Notice: Never place anything on the bottom of the oven
when it is in operation because this could damage the
enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium
foil, etc. etc.) on the shelf provided with the appliance in-

serted especially along the oven guides.

Function Selector:

Convection Mode a

Position the thermostat selector “C”: between 60°C and Max.
The top and bottom heating elements are used. In this mode,
the coolest part of the oven is the centre. The convection
oven is best for cooking dishes made up of several ingredi­ents, e.g. tender veal strips with rice, braised meats, stews,
goulash etc. and dishes that need to cook slowly and re­quire basting or the addition of liquid and cooking using cov­ered casserole dishes for oven baking. When cooking in
convection mode, only use one baking tray or shelf at a
time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Using
the different shelf position available, you can balance the
amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven.
Select from among the various shelf positions based on
whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.

Fan Assisted Mode b

Position the thermostat selector “C”: Between 60°C and Max.
The top and bottom heating elements and the fan, will come
on. The temperature is the same throughout the oven and
the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire sur­face. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at
the same time, as long as they cook at the same tempera­ture. A maximum of 2 shelves can be used at the same
time, following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cook­ing On More Than One Shelf” (next page).
This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for dishes
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably
prolonged cooking times, such as: 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 fan assisted mode is especially
suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the ad­dition of a limited amount of condiment, thus maintaining
flavour and appearance.
The fan assisted mode is also perfect for baking cakes.
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 temperature to 60°C or
use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the
temperautre to 0°C.

Browning mode c
Position the temperature selector “C”: Between 60°C and
Max.

Only the top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

Grill d

Position the temperature selector “C” at Max.
The top central heating element comes on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill 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: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, ham­burgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Cooking Advice”
section.

Fanned Grill e
Cook food in 'fanned grill' mode with the oven door shut.
Position the temperature selector “C”: between 60°C and
200°C.

The top central heating element and the fan come on. This
combination of features increases the effectiveness of the
grill 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. Excellent results
are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegeta­bles, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce,
pork chops, etc.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like sword­fish or tuna etc.

The oven light

To turn on the oven light, set the function selector “B” to the

8 symbol. The light will stay on when any of the electrical

heating elements in the oven come on.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, it is
equipped with a cooling fan which comes on when the
function selector “B” is not set to OFF.
During cooking, the fan is always on and a normal flow of
air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the
control panel.
Note. when cooking is finished, the fan stays on until the
oven cools down sufficiently.

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 own personal taste.

Preheating

If the food being cooked needs to go into a preheated
oven (this is generally the case when cooking leavened

foods), the “fan assisted mode” b can be used to reach
the desired temperature as quickly as possible. When
preheating is over, which is indicated by the red oven
indicator light “E” going out. Place food in the oven and
select the most appropriate cooking mode.

Cooking on More Than One Shelf

If you want to cook on more than one shelf at the same
time, use the “fan assisted mode” b which is the only
mode appropriate for this type of cooking.

• The oven is fitted with 5 shelves. During fan assisted
cooking, use two of the three central shelf positions; the
lowest and highest shelf positions receive the hot air
directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt
on these shelf positions.

• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf position
from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater
heat on the 2nd shelf position 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 lower shelf position and the
shelf on the upper;

Using the Grill

This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling modes.

- Use the “grill” mode d, with the oven door ajar, placing

the food in the centre of the grill pan (situated on the 3rd or
4th shelf position form the bottom) because only the central
part of the top heating element is turned on.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the
temperature to the highest setting. However, this does not
mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by
adjusting the temperature control to the desired temperature.

- Setting e “fanned grill”, only with the oven door shut,

is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution
of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but
also to cook the bottom part.
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 grill pan on the 2nd
or 3rd shelf position from the bottom (see cooking chart).

This will allow you to obtain excellent results and to save
energy (approximately 10%). When using this mode we
recommend you set the temperature control to 200°C, as it
is the most efficient way to use the grill. However this does
not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by
adjusting the temperature control to the desired temperature.

Baking Cakes

When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make
sure you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly (the
red oven indicator light "E" will go out). Do not open the
oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping.
In general, if:

remove the food from all the ra cks at t he sam e time.

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 the “fan assisted

mode” b :

- Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.

- Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the shelf. If
the baking tray is used, this will extend the cooking time,
making it difficult to get a crispy crust.

- Do not open the door frequently while the pizza is cooking.

- If the pizza has alot of toppings (three or four), we recommend
you add the mozzarella cheese on top, halfway through the
cooking process.

- When using two shelves, use the 2nd and 4th shelf
positions, with the temperature set to 220°C.

Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenace on your
oven, you must disconnect it from the power supply.

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 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 irreversibly.

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.

How to Remove 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
backwards.

123

Replacing the Oven Lamp

• Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means

of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains.

• Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;

• Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to

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

- Voltage: 230/240 V

- Wattage 25W

- Type E14

• Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the

mains power supply.

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.
