Oven Timer Operation  
The oven timer offers you the following features:  
1. Time of Day  
2. Automatic Cooking  
3. Minute Minder  
Automatic Cooking The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.  
Never operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is 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 take the same time to cook and require  
approximately the same temperature.  
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about  
to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the  
food has not cooled down and does not require reheating  
before serving.  
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven,  
ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry  
should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.  
4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if  
there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat  
and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.  
5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,  
for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically  
if there is to be a delay period.  
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so  
that the delay period is kept to a minimum.  
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain  
foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to  
a minimum.  
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the  
delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before  
serving.  
9. 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.  
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent  
boiling over.  
11. 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.  
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.  
Timer  
1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.  
Operation  
2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.  
3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.

of the dish.  
Open the Grill door to the grilling position. i.e. fully.  
With the grill door in the grilling position, heating the grill is achieved by turning the grill  
control to the desired ‘grill setting’ - either clockwise for the twin grill elements (FULL  
GRILL) or anti-clockwise for the single left hand grill element (HALF GRILL), as described  
under ‘setting the grill.  
Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.  
Note: When the door is open, air will be blown from beneath the controls by the cooling  
fan, and when controls are in the Off position. Preheat the grill at setting 4 for  
approximately 5 minutes. The grill pan is placed on the shelf and should be correctly  
positioned under the grill element. Leave the control at 4 for toast, sealing and fast  
cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower

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

(see Temperature Charts - Top Oven).  
The pilot light will immediately come on, and 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 4 Place the food centrally on the shelf below the element ensuring the oven  
door is closed.  
NOTE: At the end of your cooking, always return control (B) to the OFF (G) position.  
Plate Warming  
Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and  
turn the Top Oven temperature Control (B) to 100˚C for 10-15 minutes.  
Never use the Grill Control (A) when warming plates.  
Top Oven Utensils  
Do Not use: Meat Pans and Baking Trays larger than – 225mm x 300mm (9”x12”)  
DO NOT use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven, as the air  
circulation will be seriously restricted.  
18  
 
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.  
Refer to “Oven Temperature Charts”, pages 23 and 24.  
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 2 shelves in the main oven).  
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven  
for cooking.  
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the surfaces  
get extremely hot.  
Main Oven Utensils  
Do Not Use:  
Meat Pans larger than  
375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)  
325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)  
Baking Trays larger than –  
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.

❍ ❍  
Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.  
Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven  
Temperature Charts).  
Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully  
closed.  
Step 4 Select the required cooking temperature (80 to 230˚C) by turning  
control (C) clockwise. The pilot light will immediately come on, and  
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.  
Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (G)  
position. At the end of the 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.

Fan Only Setting  
Defrosting frozen meat and 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.  
Fan  
Only  
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.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions  
‘S’  
“SLOW” 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.  
Select ‘S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature &  
Function Control (C) clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.  
Storage and 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,  
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  
placingvfrozen 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.

BAKING GENERAL  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Sinking of cakes  
Ensure that the oven shelves are level.  
The following may cause cakes to sink:  
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.  
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard  
temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.  
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.  
If using soft margarine, use an all in one method  
instead of the traditional creaming of the margarine  
and sugar.  
Remember when using a food mixer or processor not  
to over-cream soft margarine.  
Over/undercooking  
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the  
Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C  
to suit personal taste.  
Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2l4'') in height for  
roasting.  
TOP OVEN BAKING  
Uneven cooking front to back  
Ensure that the cooking utensil is at least 100mm (4")  
from the front of the shelf.  
Uneven rising  
Ensure that the shelf is level (as above) and that the food  
is positioned correctly in the oven.  
Overcooking  
Remember to reduce cooking temperatures by 10˚C from  
standard recipes when using the top oven.  
Food is taking too long to cook  
Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is  
not larger than 300mm x 225mm (12"x 9"), e.g. Do Not use

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. “STAY CLEAN” OVEN LINERS  
(a) How "Stay Clean" works.  
TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS  
The surfaces of the "Stay Clean" oven liners 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.  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the "Stay  
Clean" 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.  
MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS  
AND REAR PANEL  
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or  
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage  
the “Stay Clean” liners.  
2. CLEANING GRILL, TOP OVEN AND MAIN OVEN  
(a) Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main Oven.  
Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more  
stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well

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. 4).  
This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates  
heat such as a plinth heater.  
Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not  
supplied with this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of  
cable.  
29  
 
Installation  
Important  
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated  
i.e. having side, back, and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which  
could permit access to the oven unit when installed.  
1. General  
The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing  
which must be secured to the backing wall.  
2. Ventilation  
a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4.  
b. An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or  
bottom cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).  
c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation,  
i.e. from adjacent cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of  
the cabinets using the adjusting feet (or spacers) or alternatively by providing  
a slot in the cabinet plinth to the dimensions in fig. 1.  
d. The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet  
space. Where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling  
height, it is essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of  
the cabinet (see fig. 1).  
e. If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from  
the oven when the door is opened could condense on and maybe stain the  
adjacent surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface  
should be made of a material that is heat resisting and easy to clean.  
Adjacent tall cabinets should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.  
3. Final Installation  
a. Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side  
and from front to back in its installed position.  
b. Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.  
Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.  
c. Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing  
wall for stability.  
d. The oven unit should now be lifted (this is a two person lift) into the cabinet  
and pushed fully home.  
e. Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Phillips C/SK  
screws - two through each side trim.  
f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.  
List of loose items:  
4 x Phillips C/SK No. 6 x 25mm screws.

Something Wrong?  
Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists.  
THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.  
Problem  
Check  
Slight odour or small amount of  
smoke when grill / oven used  
first time  
This is normal and should cease after a short period.  
If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that  
there is no electricity supply to your oven. Check:  
(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on  
Nothing works.  
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut  
(iii) The main circuit breaker for the property  
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but  
has now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time  
of day and “Manual” operation using instructions given in the timer  
section of the book.  
Display shows 0.00 AUTO.  
Your timer may be set for an Auto Cooking programme:  
Check the timer to see whether "Auto" is lit or flashing. If it is  
then please follow the instructions given in the Timer section of  
this book to return the timer to Manual operation.  
Main Oven does not work, but

The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee.  
The part is easily changed (see the section on oven lamp replacement).  
A new lamp may be obtained from our Parts department (see back  
page).  
Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the  
rear of the appliance when using an oven particularly for foods  
with a high water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc.  
This is normal, and any excess should be wiped off.  
Condensation on the wall at the  
rear of the cooker.  
Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water  
contact. To help minimise always:  
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.  
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.  
Steam / Condensation in the oven  
after use.  
If you have been through the above list and there is still a problem; contact our Service  
department (see Key Contacts, back page).  
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.

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.  
Our guarantee does not cover the cost of any  
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.  
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.  
Proof of Purchase  
For future reference please attach your purchase  
receipt to this booklet and keep it in a safe place.  
Our Guarantee is in addition to and does not affect  
your legal rights.

consumer rights, help is available from your  
Consumer Advice Centre, Law Centre, Trading  
Standards Department and Citizens Advice

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  
35
