Oven Timer Operation

Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the timer
control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only during the same
automatic cooking programme.

NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically because
the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause
bacterial growth in food.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the
food is ready when you require it.

3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.

4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.

5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto cooking,
keep the delay start time to a minimum.

6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could cause
the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.

7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in
food.

9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it is
best to add these ingredients just before serving.

10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to
which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.

11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of
liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.

14. Only reheat food once.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven

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 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase
or decrease cooking times.

Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For
guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven
Temperature Charts” later in book.

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

MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities
of food. (N.B. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).

Baking Trays larger than – 325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)

TEMPERATURE & TIME

When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be
necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few
minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the
larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

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 non-heating
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 Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the
setting.

This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type
and size of the food.

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 & 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.

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 Main Oven Temperature & Function Control (C) is turned clockwise to
the setting, the main oven light only will illuminate.

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 Main Oven Temperature &

Function Control (C) clockwise.

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.

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.

2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, it
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
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.

1. Never allow foil to touch sides of oven. 2. Never cover interior with foil. 3. Never cover shelves with foil.

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into

the thickest part of a joint of meat, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat

thermometer will indicate when the required internal temperature has been reached.

Care and Cleaning

Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and
the appliance is fully cold.

1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS (Top Oven sides, Main Oven sides, rear
panel and roof)

TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS

(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

& ROOF

meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours.
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 biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the
“Stayclean” oven liners (Main Oven rear panel).

(c) Removable grill roof liner (Top Oven).

Pull the grill roof liner out slowly, taking care not to damage the
elements. Clean using a damp, soapy cloth. If stubborn stains
remain, gently clean with a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad
and soapy water and then wipe over with a clean damp cloth.

(a) Control Panel

Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean,

dry cloth.

(b) Trims

It is advisable to clean the trims regularly to prevent any build up
of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the cooker.
The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims
with a clean, soft cloth wrung out in warm water, or mild non
abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of
trim which is not noticeable in normal use), then after wiping
with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Hotpoint’s Extended Warranties

Whether you have just one or a number of Hotpoint
appliances in your kitchen, Hotpoint has a range of
Service Plans to give you complete peace of mind. They
enable you to extend your one year labour guarantee so
that you can have repairs completed FREE during the
membership period.

Service Cover

We offer a number of payment methods; cheque, credit
card or you can spread the cost and pay by direct debit
(full details can be obtained on Free phone 0800

716356). This covers you for all repairs during the period
of cover, which can be from 1 to 4 years. Service Cover
also includes loss of food, up to the value of £250, in
refrigeration appliances. There is also an option of
Service Cover with Maintenance at an additional cost.
This includes an annual Electrical and Safety check and
replacement of any parts as necessary.

Kitchen Cover

An annual payment covers you for all repairs for all your
Hotpoint appliances which are less than ten years old. It
also covers the cost of loss of food up to £250 in our
refrigeration and freezer products. There is also the
option of Kitchen Cover with Maintenance at an
additional cost. Any additional Hotpoint appliances
purchased after you have joined Hotpoint Kitchen Cover
will automatically be included during the annual period
of cover without further charge.

Appliance Registration

To ensure that you have the opportunity to benefit from
any of the above Service Schemes and other offers you
should complete and return immediately the Appliance
Registration Form/Questionnaire supplied with this
appliance. Full details and costs of our Service Schemes,
together with an application form, will be sent to you at
the end of the first year of the guarantee.

Annual Safety/Maintenance Checks

Hotpoint strongly recommends that all its
appliances are regularly checked for electrical and
mechanical safety, whether or not they are covered by a
Service Plan. Worn door gaskets or hoses may cause a
leak on an appliance, which could become dangerous if
neglected.

For future reference please attach your purchase receipt
to this booklet and keep it in a safe place.

Spares and Accessories

Spares and accessories can be ordered from your local
Hotpoint Spares Centre (see back page), using the order

NOTE: Our Engineers will use every effort to avoid
damage to floor coverings and adjacent units when
carrying out repairs/service work, but in locations where
the Engineer advises you that it will be impossible to
move appliances without risk of
damage, he will only proceed with your approval
that no liability is accepted.
