Grill Pan and Handle
Using the grill pan kit The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle securely before use: 1.
Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
`hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1) 2. Make sure that the middle part
of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) and holds the pan from the
bottom. The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan. Position the
grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing
the oven rack on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill
pan will make the collection of grease particles more efficient and prevent
the formation of smoke.

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Hotpoint have developed a
Solarplus high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It
is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional
grills require 5 minutes preheat before food can be placed beneath them, but
for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without
any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-
heating the grill for about 1 minute.
NOTE: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh.
This stops you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects
into the grill mesh as this could damage the
GB
element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill
is on, cause electric shock.
During use, the wire mesh may become soiled. DO NOT attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted – do not store the grill pan handle on the food grid when the shelf is in the highest position.
IMPORTANT: Grilling should never be undertaken with the grill/top oven door closed.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven
The top oven should be used to cook small GB 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.

WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot when the main oven is in
use.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the top oven is in use
as the surfaces get extremely hot.

Main Oven – Fan Grilling
(DX937CX-DH93X-DH93K-DH93CX),
GB 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 left closed. If required, fan grilling can be timed
using the Oven Auto timer. Follow the timer instructions before selecting fan
grill and the required temperature. If Manual fan grilling is required always
ensure the timer is set to Manual.
Operating Instruction 1. Open the oven door. 2. Select the correct shelf
position, as stated in chart. 3. Turn the selector switch to the Fan grill
position. 4. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required
temperature (see Fan Grilling Roasting Chart, next page). 5. Position the meat
pan centrally under the grill elements. 6. Close the oven door. 7. After use
always return both controls to the off position. 8. If the oven timer was
used, reset to Manual. As with the fan oven cooking there is no need to
preheat 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. 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.

FAN ONLY SETTING
DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & 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 nonheating 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. (DX937CX-DH93X-DH93K-DH 93 CX) – Turn the Multifunction Control (D)
clockwise to the FAN ONLY setting. (DX537CX; DX537CK; DX537CW; DX537X;) – Turn
the Main Oven 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 and 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.

Main Oven – Fan Oven Cookery Notes
Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower
temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often
unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, do
benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.
The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and
times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to
increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C.
Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking any
recipes not designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25°C
and the time by about 10 minutes in the hour. If large quantities are being
cooked it will be necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to
compensate for the extra oven load.
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i.e.
without preheating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested
cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food
being cooked.
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking
period there may be a momentary puff of steam
GB
when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a
few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic
of an oven with a good door seal.
Oven Positions Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced:
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390x300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.
– Do not fit shelves upside down. – Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven
as air
circulation will be restricted. – Food or cooking utensils should not be
placed on
the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are
not in use should be removed from the oven.

Main Oven – Fan Oven Cookery Notes
Temperature and Time GB The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is
available as an optional extra, contact Genuine Parts and Accessories Hotline
(see back page) for further information. If three shelves are used to cook
large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to
increase the cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to allow for
the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger
mass of food. Baking trays should allow an equal gap on all sides of the oven.
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 for 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 main oven meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing less
than 1.75kg (31/2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin – or they
may be ‘pot roasted’ – a small joint or a large meat pan causes unnecessary
oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices. (d) Additional fat should not
be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry which can either be
‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted
fat. (e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned
flour to give a crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be
pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork should be
scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt to give crisp
crackling. (f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of
aluminium foil will be juicy and tender. Roasting bags offer the same
advantages. Always follow the manufacturer’s pack instructions, and remember
to reduce the temperatures given for conventional ovens by approximately 25°C
and the time by approximately 10 minutes per hour. (g) Potatoes for roasting

necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and stock or liquid
should not be added to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary
soiling, steam and condensation.
Frozen Meat and Poultry Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted
slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g,1

Main Oven – Circulaire Roasting
(DX937CX-DH93X-DH93K-DH93CX)
CIRCULAIRE ROASTING
Circulaire roasting – food is placed on the roasting rack, this allows the
oven fan to circulate the hot air around the food, making it suitable for thin
foods, such as chops, steaks, sausages as well as meat joints and poultry, as
it will cook both sides at the same time. it is possible to cook on any shelf
position, as the temperature in the oven is evenly distributed. Also, the oven
heats up more quickly and generally will cook food at a lower temperature than
a conventional oven, so pre-heating is not necessary for most foods. For a
guide on “cooking times” and “cooking temperatures” see “Circulaire Roasting
Chart”, next page. If required, circulaire roasting can be timed using the
Oven Timer. Follow the timer instructions before selecting Fan Oven function
and the required temperature. Note: It is also possible to cook food on the
roasting rack on one shelf, while cooking different types of food at the same
temperature, on other shelf positions (three shelves maximum).
Operating Instructions: STEP 1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual. GB
Ensure that the oven shelf is in the position you require. Place the food
centrally on the roasting rack. Position the roasting rack on top of the
grill/meat pan. Place the grill/ meat pan centrally on the oven shelf. Ensure
the oven door is fully closed. STEP 2. Turn the control knob (D) clockwise to
the fan oven function. Turn the control knob (C) clockwise and select the
required cooking temperature. The pilot light (·) will immediately come on and
will 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 controls (C) and
(D) to the 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.

MAIN OVEN SIDES AND REAR PANEL
(a) How “Stayclean” works. The surfaces of the “Stayclean” oven liners (Main
Oven rear panel) 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 (Fan Oven mode only).
(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
soaped fine steel wool soap pad.
(b) Grill Pan, Meat Pan & Oven Shelves. To prevent stains from being burnt on
to the grill pan, food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately after
use in warm soapy water. Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to remove
stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan, meat pan and the base of the
oven.
DO NOT use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could adversely affect the
fan motor unit, and cannot be wiped off the fan blade.
(c) Solarplus Grill. To clean the Solarplus Grill, use a clean, damp, soapy
cloth and wipe over. If stubborn stains remain, gently clean with a well
soaped nylon scouring pad and wipe over with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool or proprietary oven cleaners on
the grill element mesh.

Catalitic Cleaning (DX937CX- DX537CX-DX537CKDX537CW-DBS 539 CX – DBS 537 X DBS
539 CK – DBS 539 CW)
In some models, the most exposed internal vertical sides of the oven are
coated with porous enamel, which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this
enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food. This “oxidation” of the
fat particles occurs when the temperature of the sides exceeds 170°C. The
porous quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface area where the
exchange vital to the oxidation of the fats takes place.
If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after the cooking programme
has ended, leave the empty oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature
adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the oven like this for a period
of time between 60 and 90 minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside.
The cleaning process for more stubborn food residues may be quickened by using
hot water and a soft brush.

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 Head screws – two
through each side trim. f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and
oven interior.

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.
