The Cooking Modes in your Cooker  
Your new cooker is equipped with a number of different cooking modes:  
Conventional Heating (Top Oven)  
- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for  
roasting and baking on one shelf only.  
Variable Grilling (Top Oven)  
- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or  
half width fully controllable grill.  
Note: The Top Oven door should be open when grilling.  
Fan Oven (Main Oven)  
- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an  
element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved  
efficiency and in general, enables the use of lower temperatures  
for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be particular  
about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level  
simultaneously (Batch Baking).  
Traditional (Main Oven)  
- the upper and rear heating elements are switched on in this  
position. The traditional oven brings an outstanding level of  
temperature distribution and reduced consumption. In traditional  
cooking use only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By using  
the various shelf positions available you can balance the quantity of  
heat between the upper and lower part. If cooking requires more  
heat from below or above, use the lower or higher shelves respectively.  
Roast Meat (Main Oven)  
- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This mode raises the  
temperature in the oven to a very high heat for the first part of the  
cooking cycle, to seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices  
of the meat throughout cooking. After this the temperature is  
reduced to the set temperature using each heating element in turn  
to guarantee a homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A  
temperature is suggested on this mode but this can be altered  
using the '+/-' control knob.  
Roast Chicken (Main Oven)  
- specially created for cooking excellent roast poultry. This mode  
can be used to roast chickens, duck, turkey and other poultry to  
perfection. Each heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee a  
homogeneous temperature within the oven. A temperature is  
suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-'  
control knob.

The Cooking Modes in your Cooker  
continued...  
Fish (Main Oven)  
- this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear heat to lightly  
poach fish dishes without overcooking or drying out. A temperature  
is suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-'  
control knob.  
Rising (Main Oven)  
- this mode heats and holds the oven at 40˚C. It is ideal for proving  
bread and yeast based dough mixtures. When this mode is selected  
a cooking duration of 14 minutes is automatically set, this can be  
altered by pressing the 'time/mode' button until the cooking  
duration icon flashes. Then use the '+/-' control knob to adjust the  
cooking duration.  
Bread cycle - Auto  
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode  
is selected the time and temperature cannot be adjusted.  
It is suitable for baking bread weighing up to 1.5kg, either in a tin or  
on a baking tray.  
This mode includes a proving cycle and a baking cycle. If an initial  
proving cycle is needed this can be done using the RISE mode (8).  
Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe book supplied with the  
cooker.  
Cake cycle - Auto  
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode  
is selected the time and temperature cannot be adjusted.  
it is suitable for baking sponge based cakes that take between 30  
minutes and 1 hour to cook.  
Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe book supplied with the  
cooker.

Electronic Clock &  
Automatic Cooking Feature  
When you first switch on the appliance you will be prompted to set the ‘Time of Day’ on  
the display. You must ensure you have done this before attempting to use the  
automatic cooking feature.  
The main oven can be controlled automatically.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
- Select food which will require the same cooking time and temperature.  
- To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end  
time so the food is ready when you require it.  
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC  
COOKING  
- Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the  
oven.  
- Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool  
as possible.  
- If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for  
automatic cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.  
- Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delayed start cooking as it  
could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the  
food.  
- We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry and meat, eg.  
shepherds pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay  
period.  
- Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial  
growth in food.  
- Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period,  
so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.  
- 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.  
- Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.  
- 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.  
- Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before  
serving.  
- Only reheat food once.

Temperatures  
The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan  
ovens. When using a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the  
cooking time by 10 minutes per hour and lower the temperature by  
up to 20˚C.  
Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to pre-heat the  
oven.  
However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such as  
Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread. Your experience  
with the cooker will enable you to select the cooking time and  
temperature best suited for your recipe.  
Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may  
drip through the vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are  
present and may be a result of any of the following:  
1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.  
Condensation  
2. The moisture content of the food  
eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasting meat, etc.  
3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

controllability for sensitive foods. Each heating zone is equipped  
with a thermal limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the  
ceramic glass from overheating. After several minutes at full power  
without a pan on the heating zone the thermal limiter will switch the  
heating elements off and on automatically to avoid any damage to  
the ceramic glass.  
Choice of  
saucepan's  
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the ceramic hob are  
suitable.  
ALWAYS USE:  
G Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.

Care of the Ceramic Hob  
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these  
simple guidelines:  
Do not stare at halogen heating units.  
Do Not  
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as  
this will result in damage to the surface of the hob.  
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to  
the smooth surface of the hob.  
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause  
scratches in the surface of the hob.  
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob  
surround.  
Do not place anything between the base of the utensil an
the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats,  
aluminium or wok stand.  
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when  
it is not in use.  
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the  
hob.  
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they  
are being used.  
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they are switched On.  
We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles  
across two heating areas.  
Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas.  
Always ensure that they are placed centrally over  
the heated areas and have the same diameter as  
the heating area used.  
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both clean and dry. Dirt  
or moisture between the pan and the hob can cause pitting of  
the surface of the glass.  
Do  
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base diameter  
greater than 25cm (l0ins).  
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front  
cooking areas.  
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.  
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a high sugar content  
eg. jam, as spillage will cause damage to the surface of the  
glass.  
Always clean spills immediately (see Care and Cleaning).

Care of the Ceramic Hob  
continued...  
IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire  
risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying,  
cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to  
answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned  
cooking areas.  
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate  
heating area.  
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.  
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking  
period.  
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.  
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much,  
resulting in greasy food.  
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into  
the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing  
and spitting, if added too quickly.  
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.  
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or  
fat.  
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.  
Safety  
requirements for  
deep fat frying  
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:  
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.  
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and injuries are caused  
almost invariably by picking up the burning pan and rushing outside  
with it.  
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.  
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.  
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you FACE and ARMS  
are WELL PROTECTED from the flames to save you from becoming  
hurt.  
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR  
AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.  
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade immediately.

Grilling  
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use  
- children should be kept away.  
Grilling must be done with the top oven door open.  
Control knobs may become hot during grilling.  
The operation of the controls is covered on page 9.  
Remember the grill will not operate until the top oven control is in  
the ‘0’ off position.  
To operate the grill  
proceed as follows:  
G
G
Open the grill/top oven door.  
When toasting or grilling, the rod shelf can be placed on either  
of the runners.  
G
G
Preheat the grill on setting 4 for approximately 5 minutes, using  
either the single (left hand side) or twin width setting, depending  
on the amount of food to be cooked.  
Fixing the grill pan handle - Ensure that the handle is secure  
before use (see figs 1,2 and 3 on next page). The food to be  
cooked should be placed on the grill pan/grill pan grid. Place the  
grill pan on the shelf and push back until the pan is correctly  
positioned beneath the grill element.  
When positioning the grill pan, for grilling, ensure that the grill pan  
handles do not become ‘caught’ in the oven shelf.  
Notes  
Before use ensure the grill pan handle is positioned correctly.  
G
G
Food which only requires browning should be placed directly on  
the shelf, on either of the runners.  
Leave the control at setting 4 for toast and for the sealing and  
fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer  
cooking, turn the control to a lower setting after the initial  
sealing on both sides on setting 4. The thicker the food the  
lower the control should be set.  
WARNING: Take care as oven/grill will be hot - always wear oven gloves.  
ALWAYS ENSURE THE GRILL PAN IS CLEAN BEFORE USE - EXCESS FAT BUILD UP IN  
THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN COULD CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD.

Top Oven – Conventional Cooking  
The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is provided by the  
grill element and the element under the floor of the oven. It is ideal  
for the slow cooking of cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but  
can also be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).  
The operation of the controls is covered on page 9.  
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning (pages  
24 and 25).  
The top oven can be used either independently to cook small  
quantities of food or in conjunction with the main oven to provide  
additional cooking space.  
G The shelf should be positioned on the first or second runner  
from the bottom.  
To use the oven  
G Set the top oven control to the required temperature, the top  
oven light will come on and wait for the thermostat light to go  
off, indicating that the oven has reached the right temperature.  
G The food to be cooked should be placed in the centre of the  
shelf with a gap of at least 25mm (1in) between it and the grill  
element. This should avoid burning and ensure even cooking.  
proceed as follows:  
25mm (1 in)  
G
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.  
Platewarming in  
the top oven  
Plates and dishes placed on shelf 1 of the top oven will be heated  
when the main oven is in use.  
When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a meal is being  
cooked on the hob, place the plates and serving dishes on the shelf  
using the bottom runner and turn the top oven control to  
approximately 100˚C. A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is  
required to heat the plates and dishes.  
NEVER operate the grill control when using the top oven for  
cooking or warming plates and dishes.  
WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china or items which could be affected by heat  
into the oven.

Care and Cleaning  
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER  
CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE  
CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.  
Cleaning of the  
Ceramic Hob  
Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused before cleaning,  
spillage will be baked on and be very difficult to remove.  
Always switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control panel.  
To minimise cleaning:  
Always take care and avoid spills.  
Always use a Ceramic Hob Cleaner-Conditioner whenever cleaning is  
done. The Cleaner-Conditioner forms a protective film on the  
hob and contains a mild detergent which makes cleaning  
easier. Hotpoint has a Cleaner-Conditioner which can be  
obtained, either through a local Hotpoint Service Centre or  
retailer, part no.6004.  
To clean off stubborn stains, the following can be used when the  
surface has cooled:  
1.  
Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.  
Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by carefully  
using a glass scraper.  
Hard water stains, grease spots and any discolouration  
having a metallic sheen can be removed with Solvol Autosol  
Super or any non abrasive stainless steel cleaner.  
2.  
3.  
After cleaning, always use the Cleaner-Conditioner and finish it off by  
polishing with a clean, dry paper towel.  
Never use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as they can damage  
the surface of the hob.  
The visual effect of any scratches which may occur in use can be  
minimised by the use of Cleaner-Conditioner. Such scratches cannot  
be removed but do not affect the function of the hob in any way.

CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE  
CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.  
‘Stay Clean’ Liners ‘Stay Clean’ liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs  
cooking soils. At higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed.  
In most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit  
this cleaning to take place automatically.  
However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly  
then it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run  
the oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours, from  
time to time.  
The ‘Stay Clean’ liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed  
by rinsing in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.  
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or  
chemical oven cleaners of any kind.  
Oven Fittings  
Oven Interiors  
The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a  
fine steel wool soap pad. The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in  
warm soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove  
stubborn stains or in a dishwasher.  
They should be cleaned after each use.  
To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where  
applicable the ‘Stay Clean’ liners.  
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive  
cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the ‘Stay Clean’  
liners.  
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.  
Oven Door Cleaning The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see  
page 33.  
Cooker Exterior  
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it  
looking like new.  
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water and dry with a  
soft clean cloth.  
You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the  
manufacturer’s instructions first. Always test their suitability on a  
small  
area of the cooker not noticeable in normal use.  
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may  
scratch the surface.  
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.

Care and Cleaning

CLEANING THE DOORS  
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is  
coated with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder,  
which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp  
mechanical blows.  
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. For slight soiling the  
inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door. After  
cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.  
SIDE OPENING DOORS  
Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down doors, except take care to  
support the weight of the inner glass when removing and refitting.  
DROP DOWN DOORS  
Remove the door inner glass as follows.  
1.  
Open the door fully and remove the extrusion end caps (This should be done by  
hand but if it proves too difficult, simply lift the inner glass to ease the end  
caps out of position).  
NOTE: If you need to use a tool - be careful not to damage the extrusion or end cap.  
2.  
Carefully slide the inner glass towards you and  
withdraw it from its locating slots. Ensure  
that the door is not allowed to slam shut, due  
to the reduction in door weight.  
Clean the glass as described above.  
3.  
The inside of the outer door glass can now be  
cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.  
NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.  
Refit the door inner glass as follows.  
1.  
Open the door fully.  
2.  
Locate the inner door glass into its slots, so that the printing is readable from the  
face nearest the oven in the closed position and the widest black band is towards  
the bottom of the door. The inner door glass has a special reflective coating on  
one side, in order to minimise surface temperatures and energy consumption  
during use, it is important it is fitted correctly.  
3.  
Carefully slide the glass into its slots as far as it will go and replace the end caps.

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  
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.

resolved under this Guarantee, Hotpoint will replace  
your appliance or, if you prefer, give you your money  
back. Your statutory rights are not affected, and the  
Guarantee is additional and subject to the terms of  
Hotpoint’s Five Year Parts Guarantee.

There is also an option of Service Cover with  
Maintenance at an additional cost. This includes an

Engineer. During the first year our Engineer’s time  
and labour is also free.  
Our guarantee covers loss of food in our  
refrigeration and freezer products up to £250  
during the first year, subject to verification by one  
of our engineers.  
After the first year we will charge for our  
Engineer’s time and labour. We do, however,  
operate a range of Service Plans (see opposite)  
which, for an annual payment, enables you to cover  
any repair costs which may be necessary.  
All our service repairs are guaranteed for twelve  
months in respect of our labour and any parts  
fitted.  
The appliance must be used in the United Kingdom,  
and must not be tampered with or taken apart by  
anyone other than our own Service Engineers.  
You may, however, buy parts which can be safely  
fitted without specialist knowledge or equipment.  
The correct fitting of such parts, provided they are  
genuine Hotpoint spares, will not affect your  
Guarantee. Parts are available from our Hotpoint  
Spares Centres (see back page).

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.

from any of the above Service Schemes and other  
offers you should complete and return immediately

appliances are regularly checked for electrical and  
mechanical safety, whether or not they are covered

cause a leak on an appliance, which could become  
dangerous if neglected.

repair, or loss of food in refrigeration products,  
due to power failure, accidents or misuse. Nor does  
it cover the cost of any visits to advise you on the  
use of your appliance. Please read thoroughly the  
instruction book supplied with this appliance.  
If at any time during the Guarantee period we are  
unable to repair your appliance, we will refund any  
repair costs paid to us in the previous twelve  
months. We will also offer you a new appliance at  
a reduced charge instead of a repair.

receipt to this booklet and keep it in a safe place.

your legal rights.
