emitted, this will cease after a period of use

To help remove the ‚new’ smell, heat up the empty
ovens to maximum temperature for a minimum of two
or three hours, keeping the oven doors closed. Ensure
that the room is well ventilated (e.g. 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 temporary finish on oven liners
and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the
insulation.

For Your Safety

GB

When used properly your appliance is completely
safe but as with any electrical product there are
certain precautions that must be observed.
PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE.

Always

 Always make sure you remove all packaging

and literature from inside the oven and grill
compartments before switching on for the first time.

 Always make sure you understand the controls

prior to using the appliance.

 Always keep children away from the appliance

when in use as the surfaces will get extremely hot
during and after cooking.

 Always make sure all controls are turned off when

you have finished cooking and when not in use.

 Always stand back when opening an oven door to

allow any build up of steam or heat to disperse.

 Always use dry, good quality oven gloves when

removing items from the oven/grill.

 Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when

operating the controls.

 Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall

switch before cleaning and allow the appliance to
cool.

 Always make sure the shelves are in the correct

position before switching on the oven.

 Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when

the appliance is not in use.

 Always take care when removing utensils from

the top oven when the main oven is in use as the
contents may be hot.

 Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of

grease or fat from cooking can cause a fire.

 Always follow the basic principles of food handling

and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial
growth.

 Always keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
 Always refer servicing to a qualified appliance

service engineer.

 During use the oven becomes hot. Care should be

taken to avoid touching heating elements inside
the oven.

SAFETY ADVICE

IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER
PAN FIRE:

1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE
WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR
DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and
extinguish the fire.

3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60
MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries are often

caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing
outside with it. 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.

Never

 Never leave children unsupervised where a

cooking appliance is installed as all cooking
surfaces will be hot during and after use.

 Never allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of

the appliance.

 Never store items above the appliance that

children may attempt to reach.

 Never remove the oven shelves whilst the oven is

hot.

 Never heat up unopened food containers as

pressure can build up causing the container to
burst.

 Never store chemicals, food stuffs or pressurised

containers in or on the appliance, or in cabinets
immediately above or next to the appliance.

 Never operate the grill with the door closed as this

will cause the appliance to overheat.

 Never use the appliance as a room heater.
 Never use the grill to warm plates.
 Never dry any items on the oven doors.
 Never install the appliance next to curtains or other

soft furnishings.

 Never allow children to play with the appliance

controls.

 Never use 'steam cleaners'.

Installation

Electrical Requirements

For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker
is installed by a competent person such as one who is
registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for
Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should
be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the
IEE Regulations.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

Electrical Connections

The installer must check that the voltage shown on
the rating plate corresponds with the house electricity
supply. The cooker must be supplied via a suitable
double pole isolating switch, having a contact
separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a
readily accessible position adjacent to the cooker. If
the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this
may be positioned behind the cooker providing the
following requirements are met:

i) The connector unit must not project from the wall

more than 25mm.

ii) The top of the connector must not be more than

130mm above floor level.

Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the
cooker. Pass the cable through the cable clamp and
connect to the appropriate terminals provided.
Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing.
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the
cover. Make main connections in the connector unit or
cooker control unit. This appliance conforms to B.S. EN
55014 regarding suppression of Radio and Television
reception interference.
A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating
of 32 amps should be used to feed the cooker using
a suitably rated cable. Where a hob is fitted adjacent
to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole control
switch should be used to feed both units via separate
suitably rated cables.
We recommend a minimum of 4mm2 PVC insulated
twin and earth cable conforming to B.S. 6004 for
connection of each appliance.

In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 5).

This appliance must not be installed over any other
appliance that generates heat such as a plinth heater.

Note; This cooker must not be fitted on a platform.

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.

Using the Top Oven for
Solarplus Grilling

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill.
Hotpoint have developed a Solarplus high speed grill
which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is
quicker because it takes less time to warm up from
cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat
before food can be placed beneath them, but for
normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used directly
from cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is
achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.

NOTE: You will notice that the grill elements are
protected by a wire mesh. This stops you from
touching live parts.

Guide to Solarplus Grilling

DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects
into the grill mesh as this could damage the
element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is
on, cause electric shock.

During use, the wire mesh may become soiled. DO
NOT attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn off
at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care
must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted ­do not store the grill pan handle on the food grid when
the shelf is in the highest position.

IMPORTANT:
Grilling should never be undertaken with the grill/
top oven door closed.

a Convection Oven

GB

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities
of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element
operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined
with a heating element situated underneath the floor
of the oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is
important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly
on the oven shelf so that the element is directly
above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be
approx.100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.

Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste
and requirements, it may be necessary to increase
or decrease temperatures by 10°C. It may also be
necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

SHELF POSITIONING

There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch)
between the top of the food and the grill element.

WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot
when the main oven is in use.

DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance
when the top oven is in use as the surfaces get
extremely hot.

Main Oven - Fan Grilling

GB

Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill
element and the oven fan circulating the hot air around
the food.
Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if
they were cooked on a rotisserie or spit but more
economically as the door left closed.
If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven
Auto timer.
Follow the timer instructions before selecting fan grill
and the required temperature.

If Manual fan grilling is required always ensure the
timer is set to Manual.

Operating Instruction

1. Open the oven door.

2. Select the correct shelf position, as stated in chart.

3. Turn the selector switch to the Fan grill position.

4. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required
temperature (see Fan Grilling Roasting Chart, next
page).

5. Position the meat pan centrally under the grill ele­ments.

6. Close the oven door.

7. After use always return both controls to the off
position.

8. If the oven timer was used, reset to Manual.

As with the fan oven cooking there is no need to pre­heat the oven yet another economy feature. Also you
can cook more than one thing at a time even up to 4
small chickens.

Temperatures

These will be similar to those used for the more
traditional form of roasting but the guide will give
you an indication of which temperature to set the
Thermostat. But remember that because of the way
the oven is heated this is a more economical way of
roasting.

General Recommendations

Most types of meat and poultry cooked by this method
will have an all over brownness and crispness on the
outside. The only exceptions are very lean joints, such
as veal, which, because of its low fat content, is better
cooked using conventional heating.

1. Always place the pan on the shelf position recom­mended. (See Chart).

2. There is no need to preheat the oven before cooking
and all fan grilling should be carried out with the
oven door closed, this saves energy. The cooking
temperatures and times are calculated from a cold
oven.

3. After rinsing and drying meat, place on the food
roasting support rack over the pan supplied.

4. Position meat in oven as recommended in the
roasting chart.

5. Fan grilling is ideally suited for cooking all types of
poultry and larger joints of meat (e.g.stuffed, rolled
joints and legs of pork and lamb). Results will be
as if you had cooked the food on a rotisserie. If you
use frozen meat or poultry it must be completely
defrosted before it is cooked.

6. When cooking a joint always grill it with the fat side
uppermost in order to crisp it. For bigger joints or
where there is little bone, grill at the lower tempe­rature given in the table and cook for a longer time
per kg.

7. When cooking any type of poultry, start grilling the
underside uppermost and turn breast uppermost
about a third to halfway through the cooking pe­riod. If cooking stuffed poultry allow slightly longer
cooking time.

Using the Main Oven for
Other Functions

GB

FAN ONLY SETTING

DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted
slowly, preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours
per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours
per lb.). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely
defrosted before cooking in the oven. However, to
decrease the amount of time required to defrost food
items, a nonheating fan only setting may be selected
for the main oven only.

OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:

Place food in the oven and close the oven door.
Turn the Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the FAN
ONLY setting.

NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by
warming the food through.

Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only
setting are cream/cream cakes, butter cream filled
cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches,
pastries, biscuits, bread, croissants, fruit and many
delicate frozen foods. If fish, meat and poultry are to
be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible
it is recommended that the food should be small and
thin.
The items should be placed so that the maximum
amount of surface area is exposed to the circulating
air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even
defrosting.
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by
using the fan only setting up to a maximum weight of 2
kg (4lb 8oz).
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and
cooking utensils immediately after defrosting and
before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately
after defrosting.

After selecting any of the oven programs, the parameter
setting of the product is activated. It optimizes the
performance of cooking, but could result in a delayed
ignition of fan and heating elements.

It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic
principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent
the possibility of bacterial growth.

LIGHT ONLY SETTING

When the Multifunction Control (D) is turned clockwise
to the LIGHT ONLY setting, the main oven light only will
illuminate.

Main Oven - Fan Oven
Cookery Notes

Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally
cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional
oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary.
However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire
pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated
oven.

The charts are a guide only, giving approximate
cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste
and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or
decrease temperatures by 10°C.

Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we
recommend that when cooking any recipes not
designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature
by about 25°C and the time by about 10 minutes in
the hour. If large quantities are being cooked it will be
necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to
compensate for the extra oven load.

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed
in a cold oven, i.e. without preheating.
If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested
cooking time should be reduced, depending on the
type and quantity of food being cooked.

there may be a momentary puff of steam when the
oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few
seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an
oven with a good door seal.

Oven Positions

Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very
even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf
position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced:

To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger
than 390x300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no
larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should
be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.

Do not fit shelves upside down.
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air

circulation will be restricted.

Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on

the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary clea­ning, rod shelves which are not in use should be
removed from the oven.

GB

It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period

Main Oven - Fan Oven
Cookery Notes

GB

Temperature and Time

The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is
available as an optional extra, contact Genuine Parts
and Accessories Hotline (see back page) for further
information.
If three shelves are used to cook large quantities of
food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary
to increase the cooking times given in the charts by
a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to the
extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass
of food.
Baking trays should allow an equal gap on all sides of
the oven.

To prepare meat and poultry for Roasting in your
Fan Oven

(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it.

Meat which has for been stored in a refrigerator
should be allowed to come to room temperature
before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be
completely defrosted before placing in the oven.

(b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added

before calculating the cooking time.

(c) Place meat/poultry in the main oven meat pan

supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing
less than 1.75kg (31/2 lbs) should be roasted in a
smaller meat pan/tin or they may be ‚pot roasted’ a
small joint or a large meat pan causes unnecessary
oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices.

(d) Additional fat should not be added, except for

veal, very lean meat or poultry which can either be
‚larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly
with cooking oil or melted fat.

(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted

lightly with seasoned flour to give a crisp outer
surface. The skin of duck and goose should be

Main Oven - Circulaire
Roasting

CIRCULAIRE ROASTING

Circulaire roasting - food is placed on the roasting
rack, this allows the oven fan to circulate the hot air
around the food, making it suitable for thin foods, such
as chops, steaks, sausages as well as meat joints and
poultry, as it will cook both sides at the same time.
it is possible to cook on any shelf position, as the
temperature in the oven is evenly distributed. Also, the
oven heats up more quickly and generally will cook
food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven,
so pre-heating is not necessary for most foods. For a
guide on „cooking times” and „cooking temperatures”
see „Circulaire Roasting Chart”, next page.
If required, circulaire roasting can be timed using
the Oven Timer. Follow the timer instructions before
selecting Fan Oven function and the required
temperature.
Note: It is also possible to cook food on the roasting
rack on one shelf, while cooking different types of food
at the same temperature, on other shelf positions (three
shelves maximum).

Operating Instructions:

STEP 1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.

Ensure that the oven shelf is in the posi­tion you require. Place the food centrally
on the roasting rack. Position the roasting
rack on top of the grill/meat pan. Place the
grill/meat pan centrally on the oven shelf.
Ensure the oven door is fully closed.

STEP 2. Turn the control knob (D) clockwise to the

fan oven function. Turn the control knob (C)
clockwise and select the required cooking
temperature. The pilot light () will imme­diately come on and will remain on until the
oven reaches the required temperature.
The light will then automatically go off and
on during cooking as the oven thermostat
maintains the correct temperature.

STEP 3. After use, turn controls (C) and (D) to the

Off (O) position.

Note: At the end of a cooking period there may
be a momentary puff of steam when the door is
opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is
a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a
good door seal.

Using the Main Oven
for Other Functions

‚S’ SLOW COOK SETTING

This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and
warming plates for short periods.
Extra care should be taken when warming bone china,
as it may be damaged in a hot oven.

DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven
floor as this could damage both the oven lining and
the plates which are being warmed.

ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:

The oven stays cleaner because there is less
splashing. Timing of food is not as critical, so there is
less fear of overcooking. Inexpensive joints of meat are
tenderised. Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up
to 2 hours.

OPERATION:

1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and
ensure the door is fully closed.

2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‚S’ by turning the
Main Oven Temperature Control (C) and Multifun­ction Control (D) clockwise to Fan Oven mode.

2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‚S’ by turning
Main Oven Temperature Control (C).

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:

1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately,
place it in a clean container and cool as soon as
possible.

2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrige­rator before re-heating.

3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is
piping hot before serving.

4. Only re-heat food once.

2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a
minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are cooked
for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their ap­pearance may be noticed.

3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry
over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz). We do not recommend that
joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking
on the slow setting.

4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or
poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in
foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good
air circulation) before turning the control to the slow
setting and cooking immediately.

5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are
thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat ther­mometer before serving.

6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before coo­king. We do not recommend placing frozen food
in the oven to cook.

7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the
boil before placing in the oven.

8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not
airtight) and cover to the top with foil to prevent loss
of moisture.

9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even
sized small pieces to cook properly.

10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.

11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important
that the beans are soaked and then boiled for a
minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to
destroy any toxins.

12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be neces­sary to check during cooking to avoid overcooking.

GB

POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD
FOR SLOW COOKING

1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the
oven ensuring enough room for air to circulate.

Main Oven Grilling

GB

DO NOT allow young children near the appliance when
the grill is in use as the surfaces can get extremely hot.

GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH
THE DOOR CLOSED.

- Do Not line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

- Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after every use.
Excess fat build-up in the bottom of the pan could
cause a fire hazard.

- Preheat the grill on the required setting for 5 minutes

Grilling Procedure:

1. Open the main oven door fully and position the rod
shelf as recommended in the grilling chart (see
below) for the food being cooked.

2. Turn the multifunction selector switch to HALF grill
or FULL grill and then turn the Main Oven tempe­rature control to the required setting to pre-heat for
approximately 5 minutes.

3. Position the grill pan centrally under the grill element
and push back as far as the location stops on the
rod shelf.

4. Leave the oven thermostat at setting MAX for toast
and for fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods
requiring longer cooking turn the thermostat to a
lower setting, after initial sealing on both sides at
MAX. The thicker the food, the lower the thermo­stat should be set. If excessive smoke is emitted,
reduce the setting.

5. After use always return both controls to their OFF
(O) position.

MAIN OVEN SIDES AND REAR PANE

(a) How „Stayclean” works.

The surfaces of the „Stayclean” oven liners (Main
Oven rear panel) are treated with a special vitreous
enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures
of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface enables
these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the
temperature the more effective it is.

(b) Cleaning.

In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C
(425°F) will permit this cleaning operation to
proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking
temperatures are not used regularly, it may be
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run
the ovens without shelves or meat pan, at a maximum
setting for a couple of hours (Fan Oven mode only).
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
„Stayclean” panels with water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.

DO NOT use aerosol cleaners on this oven as
they could adversely affect the fan motor unit, and
cannot be wiped off the fan blade.

(c) Solarplus Grill.

To clean the Solarplus Grill, use a clean, damp, soapy
cloth and wipe over. If stubborn stains remain, gently
clean with a well soaped nylon scouring pad and wipe
over with a damp cloth.

DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool
or proprietary oven cleaners on the grill element
mesh.

Carefully unscrew the bulb anti-clockwise.
Fit replacement bulb (25W 300°C SES) and refit lens.

5. HOW TO CLEAN THE LAMP LENS

Catalitic Cleaning

In some models, the most exposed internal vertical
sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel,
which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this
enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food.
This „oxidation” of the fat particles occurs when the
temperature of the sides exceeds 170°C. The porous
quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface
area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the
fats takes place.

If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after
the cooking programme has ended, leave the empty
oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature
adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the
oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90
minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside.
The cleaning process for more stubborn food residues
may be quickened by using hot water and a soft brush.

Disposal of your product

To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose
of your product carefully and safely. Remove all doors
and lids. Remove the mains cable (where fitted) by
cutting off flush with the appliance and always ensure
that no plug is left in a condition where it could be
connected to the electricity supply.
To help the environment, Local Authority instructions
should be followed for the disposal of your product.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

Assembling the sliding rack kit

To assemble the sliding racks:

1. Remove the two
frames, lifting them away
from the spacers A (see

A

 gure).

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.

Respecting and conserving the
environment

• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.

• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses

• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
