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 best use of your 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.  
Note: When the cooker is first used, an odour may be emitted - this will cease  
after a short period of use  
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat up the empty oven(s) to maximum for a minimum  
of two to three hours keeping the oven doors closed. Ensure that the room is well  
ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be  
sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from  
the room until the smell has ceased.  
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and also any  
moisture absorbed by the insulation.  
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:  
(a) Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book.  
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on  
the rating plate attached to this equipment.

IMPORTANT  
Before using your oven ALWAYS make sure that the timer has  
been set to MANUAL operation. Unless this is done, the oven  
cannot heat up. Before seeking assistance make sure this is  
done (refer to oven timer operation).  
To release any control knob simply press its centre.  
MULTIFUNCTION SELECTOR  
Rotate the control knob in either direction until the required function symbol appears  
in the control window. Many of the functions will also require the oven thermostat or  
grill control to be set before the appliance will heat up.  
After use knobs can be returned to the storage position by pressing in the knob  
centre.  
OVEN THERMOSTAT  
This is used in addition to the multifunction selector. This is used for the functions  
(fan oven, fan grill and top and base heat).  
Turn the control clockwise to set the oven thermostat to the required temperature.  
If the timer is set correctly and the selector switch set to a suitable function an  
indicator light will illuminate. This will remain on until the oven reaches the required  
temperature. This light will then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains control  
of the oven temperature.  
GRILL CONTROL  
This is used in addition to the multifunction selector.  
This is used for the functions (full grill and half grill).  
Turn the control in either direction to the required setting. If the selector switch is set  
to either full grill or half grill and the oven door is in its grilling position then the grill  
will heat up. After use return all controls to “O” (Off) position.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION  
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the oven  
can be used.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
The Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer .  
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 automatic  
cooking, keep the delay 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.

Successfully).  
Ensure door is in the grilling position (see grilling page)  
Step 2 Turn knob (B) anti-clockwise to grill or half grill function  
Step 3 Turn knob (C) clockwise to select the Grill Setting (1–6). (1=Low,  
6=High).  
NOTE: When using the grill, a gentle flow if air will be detected coming from  
beneath the control panel.  
The grill power can be adjusted during grilling, adjust as necessary.  
It is advisable to pre-heat the grill on the MAX  
(6) setting for 5 minutes.The grill pan,with grid should be used at shelf position 5 or  
6 from the bottom,according to the thickness of the food. Position the grill pan directly  
under the heating elements. For toasting leave the control set at 6, shelf position 6.  
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking times turn the grill control down to a lower  
setting after the initial sealing of both sides at 6. The thicker the food, the lower the setting  
on the grill control. Food that only requires browning should be done on a lower shelf  
position.  
Do not store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when the rod shelf is in the top runner  
position.  
Do not line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as this increases the amount of fat spitting.  
Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after use. Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan could  
cause a fire hazard.  
After use, always return both controls to their OFF (O) position.

Fan  
Oven  
USING THE 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 10˚C. It may also be necessary to  
increase or decrease cooking times.  
OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN  
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of  
heat in the oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.  
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for  
cooking as air circulation is restricted.  
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the oven is in use as the  
surfaces get extremely hot.  
OVEN UTENSILS  
Do not use:  
Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”)  
Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)  
An additional oven shelf can be purchased from your oven supplier if a third one  
is required for batch baking. Never use more than three shelves in the oven as air  
circulation will be seriously restricted.  
TEMPERATURE & TIME  
If three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to  
preheat and/or 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.

Turn knob B clockwise to Fan Oven function.  
Step 2 Turn knob (A) clockwise and select the required cooking temperature  
(80˚C to 230˚C). The pilot light (G) 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 3 After use turn both controls to their Off (O) position.  
NOTE: At the end of a 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.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER  
FUNCTIONS  
“SLOW” SETTING  
E
90  
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. The kitchen stays cooler.  
OPERATION:  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Turn knob B to Fan Oven function.  
Turn knob A to  
(slow cooking temperature).  
E 90  
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 170oC 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  
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.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER  
FUNCTIONS  
FAN GRILLING  
Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan  
circulating the hot air around the food.  
Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisserie or  
spit but more economically as the door if left closed.  
If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven Auto timer. Follow the timer  
instructions on before selecting fan grill and the required temperature.  
If Manual fan grilling is required always ensure the timer is set to Manual.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2.  
3.  
4.  
Open the oven door.  
Select the correct shelf position.  
Turn the selector switch B until Fan grill is seen in the window.  
Turn the oven thermostat control A to the required temperature (see Fan Grilling  
Roasting Chart)  
5.  
Position the meat pan centrally under the grill elements (if using the grill pan  
always remove the grill pan handle).  
6.  
7.  
8.  
Close the oven door. Fan grilling will not begin until the door is fully closed.  
After use always return both controls to the off position.  
If the oven timer was used, reset to Manual.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER  
FUNCTIONS  
FAN GRILLING  
As with the Circulaire oven fan cooking there is no need to pre-heat the oven – yet  
another economy feature. Also you can cook more than one thing at a time – even  
up to 4 small chickens.  
TEMPERATURES  
These will be similar to those used for the more traditional form of roasting but the  
guide will give you an indication of which temperature to set the Thermostat. But  
remember that because of the way the oven is heated this is a more economical way  
of roasting.  
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS  
Most types of meat and poultry cooked by this method will have an all over  
brownness and crispness on the outside. The only exceptions are very lean joints,  
such as veal, which, because of its low fat content, is better cooked using  
conventional heating.  
1. Always place the pan on the shelf position recommended. (See Chart).  
2. There is no need to preheat the oven before cooking and all fan grilling should be  
carried out with the oven door closed, this saves energy. The cooking  
temperatures and times are calculated from a cold oven.  
3. After rinsing and drying meat, place on the food roasting support rack over the  
pan supplied with the anti-splash trivet in position. It is important that the  
anti-splash trivet is used, as it will stop the splashing of fat and help keep the  
oven clean.  
4. Position meat in oven as recommended in the roasting chart.  
5. Fan grilling is ideally suited for cooking all types of poultry and larger joints of  
meat (e.g. stuffed, rolled joints and legs of pork and lamb). Results will be as if  
you had cooked the food on a rotisserie. If you use frozen meat or poultry it must  
be completely defrosted before it is cooked.  
6. When cooking a joint always grill it with the fat side uppermost in order to crisp it.  
For bigger joints or where there is little bone, grill at the lower temperature given  
in the table and cook for a longer time per kg.  
7. When cooking any type of poultry, start grilling the underside uppermost and turn  
breast uppermost about a third to halfway through the cooking period. If cooking  
stuffed poultry allow slightly longer cooking time.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER  
FUNCTIONS  
FAN ONLY  
The oven has a fan only position, which can be used to assist defrosting by  
circulating unheated air around the food.  
Time to defrost will depend on type and size of the food and the room temperature.  
OPERATING PROCEDURE  
1. Turn the selector switch until the required fan only symbol is shown in the control  
panel window.  
2. The control panel illumination and oven light will remain on.  
3. After use always return the control to the off position and close the oven door.  
DO NOT turn the oven thermostat control on.  
DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.  
Foods ideally suited for fan defrosting (without heat) are those which are normally served  
cold, e.g. 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 “fan only” defrosted then where possible the items should  
be thin e.g. fish fillets, peeled shrimp, cubed or ground meat, sliced meat, thin chops, steaks  
or liver.  
The items should be placed so the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to the  
circulating air and turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.  
Fan defrosting without heating is only suitable for meat and poultry joints up to a maximum  
weight of 1.8kg (4 lb).  
It is important to wash both roast and cooking utensils before cooking immediately  
after defrosting.  
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and  
hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.  
23  
 
USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER  
FUNCTIONS  
TOP AND BASE HEAT  
The oven is heated by elements at the top of the oven and underneath the floor of  
the oven.  
The oven door is fitted with a switch which will automatically turn off the elements  
when the door is opened.  
Food should not be placed on the floor of the oven.  
OPERATING PROCEDURE  
1. Ensure Oven Timer is set to Manual.  
2. Position rod shelf as recommended in the chart for food being cooked.  
3. Position food centrally under grill element.  
4. Turn the selector switch B until top and base is shown in the window.  
5. Turn the oven thermostat control A to the required temperature setting (see oven  
temperature charts). The control panel illumination and oven light will remain  
on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven reaches the set tem  
perature. This light will then automatically cycle on and off during cooking as the  
oven temperature is controlled.  
6. After use always return both controls to the ‘O’ off position and close the oven  
door.

Note: If soft margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the  
manufacturers should be followed. Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to  
cakes made with block margarines or butter only.  
When using more than two shelves for baking in the fan oven best results are achieved  
if before placing the food in the oven, it is preheated to the required temperature.  
Note:Where times are stated, they are approximate only.

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.

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  
(a) How "Stayclean" works.  
The surfaces of the "Stayclean" 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 tempera  
tures 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.  
MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS  
AND REAR PANEL  
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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
IMPORTANT  
This equipment is designed specifically for domestic purposes and Hotpoint  
Limited cannot accept responsibility if used in any other type of installation.  
This appliance must not be installed over any appliance that generates heat.  
For your own safety, we recommend that your appliance 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.  
1. GENERAL  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
(a) The oven unit is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing  
which must be secured to the backing wall, or alternatively, in the case of the  
single oven unit, under a worktop with or without a hob unit above.  
(b) In an oven/hob arrangement where it is proposed to install the oven directly  
below the hob. It is advisable that only slimline hobs are used which have the  
following maximum depths.  
Maximum hob depth  
Kitchen Worktop thickness  
(from worktop surface vertically down)  
30mm

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
2. OVEN UNIT HOUSING CABINETS  
(a) The oven unit housing cabinet dimensions must comply with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.  
(b) An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or  
bottom cupboards or shelves for ventilation.  
(c) Do not obstruct the ventilation slots provided on the oven trim. This is found  
adjacent to the bottom of the oven door.  
(d) The air gap at the rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the cabinet. If  
cabinets extend up to the ceiling, the warm air must be exhausted through  
to the front. 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 perhaps 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.  
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.  
3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION  
Mains Supply  
A 15 amp Double Pole control switch with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm  
must be fitted on or recessed in the wall adjacent to the oven housing cabinetry and  
should be accessible after installation. If the oven is to be wired into a connector unit  
this may be positioned behind the oven providing:–  
i. The top of the connector unit is not more than 30cm above the base of the  
oven recess – see Fig. 4.  
ii. The depth of the connector unit does not reduce the depth of the oven  
recess to less than 55cm.  
We recommend that 4mm2 twin and earth PVC insulated cable is used to connect  
the cooker to the control unit. This power supply cable must conform to BS 6004.  
Alternatively the mains supply can be taken from a household 13 amp switched  
fused spur. Having a minimum contact clearance of 3mm which must be fitted  
adjacent to the oven housing cabinetry and accessible after installation. The oven  
must be fitted with a 3 core cable having a minimum cross sectional area of 1.5mm2  
and must conform to BS6500.  
The oven must not be connected using a 3 pin 13 amp plug.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Any spare cable must be coiled either behind the oven (not more than 30cm above  
the base of the oven recess) or pushed into the air gap below the oven after  
installation.  
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or above an oven a 30 amp or 45 amp double  
pole switch with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm should be used to feed both  
units via separate suitably rated cables.  
Where a hob unit is fitted above the oven unit we recommend that 85oC High  
Temperature PVC with insulated 3 core flexible cord to table 15 of BS 6141:1991  
with a conductor size of 2.5mm2 must be used to connect the hob to the control  
unit.  
Where a hob unit is fitted adjacent to the oven unit, then 4mm2 twin and earth  
cable to BS 6004 is recommended to connect the hob unit to the control unit.  
In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 5).  
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 located on the  
oven front frame (lower).  
CONDUIT BOX TO MAINS TERMINAL BLOCK  
(a) The oven unit should be placed on the floor on its carton base in front of the  
housing cabinet. The rear of the unit should be in line with the conduit box.  
(b) Ensure there is sufficient cable for any future servicing.  
(c) Remove the terminal cover. Prepare the cable, pass it through the cable entry  
hole in the oven rear panel and fit to terminal block. Secure the cable clamp  
and replace the terminal cover.  
4. 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 requires two people) into the cabinet  
and pushed fully home.  
(e) Finally the oven unit must be secured to the cabinet. Position the oven side  
trims equally about the cabinet sides. This should give an overlap of approx.  
1.5mm per side (see Fig. 2). Secure the oven unit to the cabinet, through the  
side trims, by means of the four screws provided, two each side trim.  
(f) Remove all packing material from the grill and oven interior.
