Introduction Your new cooker 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 the best use of your Hotpoint cooking equipment please read this booklet carefully. The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
Installation WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the front of the plinth.
Installation Moving the Cooker Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and switch off at the cooker control unit. Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows: Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements. Note: Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.

Control Panel GRILL INDICATOR LIGHT LEFT FRONT PLATE Control Knobs LEFT REAR PLATE RIGHT REAR PLATE RIGHT FRONT PLATE GRILL OVEN INDICATOR LIGHT OVEN The knobs for the grill and hotplates can be rotated in either direction to provide variable heat control, the Oven knob can only be rotated clockwise from the Off position. Note: Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF position, when the appliance is not in use.
Using the Hob Hob Controls Each control can be used to select one of six temperature settings from position 1 (minimum) to position 6 (maximum). For normal cooking, after having placed the pan on the required hob position, set the control knob to 6 (maximum), wait until boiling point is reached, then set the control knob to a lower position as required. Use of Hotplates The front red spot hotplates heat up more rapidly than the other hotplates. Use the red spot plates to give faster boiling times.
Using the Hob Choosing your Utensils For best results we recommend the use of good quality saucepans with smooth flat bases. Aluminium pans with coloured vitreous enamelled bases absorb heat and are more efficient in use. Almost equally as good are saucepans with a thick machines aluminium base. If using enamelled steel or cast iron pans, ensure that they have good smooth flat bases, otherwise the heat will not be distributed evenly and damaging heat spots may be created.
Temperature Conversion Scale Comparative scale of oven settings (degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit) as recommended by the Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Electrical Appliances. The temperature control knobs on this electric cooker are marked in degrees Celcius. This chart will help when the recipes show alternative scales.
Grilling CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED - CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL DOOR CLOSED. Open the grill door. Pre-heat the grill on setting 6 for approximately 5 minutes. When toasting / grilling push the pan back to correctly position it under the grill element. Leave the control at 6 for toast, for sealing and fast cooking of foods.
Oven Cookery Notes The oven is fitted with ‘Stayclean’ liners, two rod shelves and a meat pan. Remove the meat pan if it is not being used. To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the required temperature between 80˚C (175˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The indicator light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature.
Oven Cookery Notes 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 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 meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing less than 1.

The Slow Cook Setting ‘S’ This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care must be taken when warming bone china as it may be damaged if too hot. Some 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 cuts of meat are tenderised. Fully loading the oven can be very economical. Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2hrs.
Using The Slow Cook Setting Points to bear in mind when preparing food:– 1. Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing the food. 2. All dishes cooked by the ‘S’ setting should be cooked for a minimum of 6 hours. They will 'hold' at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases. 3. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at fan oven 170˚C for 30 mins before turning to the ‘S’ setting. 4. Meat over 2.7 Kg.

Care and Cleaning TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND. Vitreous Enamel Hob Clean with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream paste or liquid cleaner or by gently rubbing with a Surround fine steel wool soap pad eg. ‘Brillo’, etc.
Care and Cleaning Oven Remove the rod shelves and meat pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the oven. How ‘Stayclean’ Works The surface of the ‘Stayclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face 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.
Cooking Results Not Satisfactory? Problem Check Grilling Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below the grill element. Fat splattering Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a temperature. Oven Baking Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable packing e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should be checked both left to right and front to back.
Something Wrong with your Cooker? Before contacting your Service Office/Installer, check the problem guide below. Problem Check Slight odour or small amount of smoke when using the cooker for the first time. This is normal and should cease after a short period. Cooker does not work at all. Check that the switch on the control unit is in the on position. If so check that the main fuse has not blown. Oven temperature seems too high or too low.
