The various features offered by your oven are selected by means of function/temperature selector ???B??? and grill control ???C??? situated on the control panel.

Notice: Never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the shelf provided with the appliance in- serted along the shelf guides ???H???.

N.B.: Should the appliance be equipped with an electronic programmer, to use the electric oven, just press button ( (the msymbol will appear on the display) before selecting the desired cooking function.

Thermostatically controlled oven (Fan Assisted Mode)

When the oven control knob (B) is turned in a clockwise direction to the symbol "Light/defrost" the fan and oven light will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food. Rotating further through the range of temperatures offered you can choose which is most suitable for the food you are going to cook. The temperature is controlled by the oven thermostat (between 60??C to MAX).

Note: Whilst using the oven for conventional cooking the variable grill control (C) must be set with ???MAX??? in line with the reference mark on the control panel.

The variable grill control "C" provides varying grilling temperatures when rotated from "max" to "min" and may be adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during the grilling operation.

NOTE: Grilling must be done with the door partially open.

The oven light

Set the function/temperature selector ???B??? to the "Light/ defrost" symbol to turn it on. It lights the oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating elements in the oven come on.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, it is equipped with a cooling fan which comes on automatically when the oven is hot.

When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel.

Note: When cooking is finished, the fan stays on until the oven cools down sufficiently.

???When the length setting for the cooking time is cancelled, the end cooking time setting is also cancelled, and vice versa.

???When in automatic cooking mode, the appliance will not accept end cooking times prior to the start cooking time pro- posed by the appliance itself.

When cooking in the oven, use only one baking tray or shelf at a time. Select an upper or lower shelf position based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.

Preheating

If the food being cooked needs to go into a preheated oven (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods), we recommend you wait until preheating is over, which is indicated by the red oven indicator light ???E??? going out, before adding food.

Cooking Fish and Meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature settings from 180 ??C to 200 ??C.

For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200??C-220??C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.

In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place the grill pan/baking tray beneath it to catch the fat.

Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low shelf positions.

When Using the Grill

Use the ???Grill??? mode, place the food in the centre of the grill pan, situated on the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom.

Baking Cakes

When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly (the red oven indicator light "E" will go out). Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping. In general, if:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10??C and reduce the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.

Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenace on your oven, you must disconnect it from the power supply.

Inside the oven

We recommend you clean your oven each time you use it, especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is used and would char and release smoke and unpleasant odours.

Oven exterior

Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of your oven using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making sure you rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using abrasive or corrosive products which could damage them.

Stainless steel

Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using a soft cloth. Use a specific non-abrasive product to remove tougher stains,

DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.

To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We strongly advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet in direct contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly.

Rubber Seal

There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it using warm water and dry thoroughly.

DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so. Should the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.

How to Remove the Oven Door

The oven door can easily be removed to clean the space between the bottom of the door and the front of the oven. To disassemble the door, proceed as follows:

-open the oven door fully,

-lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,

-shut the door, but not completely,

-grip the door on the two external sides and pull it towards you, pulling it out of its seat.

Reassemble the door by following the above procedures in reverse order.

Replacing the Oven Lamp

???Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance to the electrical mains.

???Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;

???Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300??C) with the following character- istics:

-Voltage: 230/240 V

-Wattage 25W

-Type E14

???Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the mains supply.
