INSERTING THE WIRE SHELF AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

Insert the wire shelf horizontally by sliding it across the shelf guides, making sure that the side with the raised edge is facing upwards.

Other accessories, such as the drip tray and the baking tray, are inserted horizontally in the same way as the wire shelf.

FITTING THE SLIDING RUNNERS

Remove the shelf guides from the oven and remove the protective plastic from the sliding runners.

Fasten the upper clip of the runner to the shelf guide and slide it along as far as it will go. Lower the other clip into position.

To secure the runner in place, push the lower part of the clip firmly against the shelf guide. Make sure that the runners can move freely. Repeat these steps on the other shelf guide on the same level.

Please note: The sliding runners can be fitted on any level.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE SHELF GUIDES

FUNCTIONS

MANUAL

*CONVENTIONAL  1-9
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.
CONVECTION BAKE  2-9
For cooking meat or baking cakes with liquid centre on a single shelf.
FORCED AIR  3-9
For cooking different foods that require the same cooking temperature on several shelves (maximum three) at the same time. This function can be used to cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to another.
GRILL  4-9
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread.
When grilling meat, we recommend using a drip tray to collect the cooking juices: Position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.
TURBO GRILL  5-9
For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast beef, chicken). We recommend using a drip tray to collect the cooking juices: Position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water. The turnspit (if provided) can be used with this function.
MAXI COOKING  6-9
For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg).
Use the 1st or 2nd shelves, depending on the size of the joint. The oven does not have to be preheated.
We suggest turning the meat during cooking to obtain uniform browning on both sides. It is advisable to baste the meat every now and again so that it does not become too dry.
FAST PREHEATING  7-9
For preheating the oven quickly.
ECO FORCED AIR  8-9
For cooking stuffed roasting joints and fillets of meat on a single shelf. Food is prevented from drying out excessively by gentle, intermittent air circulation. When this function is in use, the ECO light will remain switched off throughout cooking but can be switched back on temporarily by pressing the OK button.
To use the ECO cycle and therefore optimise power consumption, the oven door should not be opened until the food is completely cooked.
SETTING  9-9**
For changing the oven settings (time, language, audible signal volume, brightness, ECO mode, unit of measurement).Please note: When Eco mode is active, the brightness of the display will be reduced after a few seconds to save energy. It is reactivated automatically whenever any of the buttons are pressed, etc.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Download the Use and Care Guide from www.hotpoint.eu for more information

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

Do not use steam cleaners.

Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

Wear protective gloves.

The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

INTERIOR SURFACES

• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, leave the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
• The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning.
• The top heating element of the grill can be lowered to clean the upper panel of the oven.

ACCESSORIES

Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.

CLEANING THE REAR WALL AND THE CATALYTIC PANELS

This oven is equipped with special catalytic liners that facilitate cleaning of the cooking compartment thanks to their special self-cleaning coating, which is highly porous and able to absorb grease and grime.
These panels are fitted to the shelf guides: When repositioning and then refitting the shelf guides, make sure that the hooks at the top are slotted into the appropriate holes in the panels.

To make best use of the catalytic panels’ self-cleaning properties, we recommend heating the oven to 200 °C for around one hour using the “Convection Bake” function. The oven must be empty during this time. Then leave the oven to cool down before removing any remaining food residues using a non-abrasive sponge.

Please note: Using corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, stiff brushes, pan scourers or oven sprays could damage the catalytic surface and compromise its self-cleaning properties.

Please contact our After-sales Service if you require replacement panels.

REPLACING THE LIGHT

1. Disconnect the oven from the power supply.

2. Unscrew the cover from the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light.

3. Reconnect the oven to the power supply.

Please note: Only use 25-40 W/230 V type E-14, T300 °C incandescent bulbs, or 20-40 W/230 V type G9, T300 °C halogen bulbs. The bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009). Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service.
– If using halogen bulbs, do not handle them with your bare hands as your fingerprints could cause damage. Do not use the oven until the light cover has been refitted.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR

1. To remove the door , open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position.

2. Close the door as much as you can.
Take a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the handle.
Simply remove the door by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards at the same time until it is released from its seating. Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.

3. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating.

4. Lower the door and then open it fully.
Lower the catches into their original position: Make sure that you lower them down completely.

Apply gentle pressure to check that the catches are in the correct position.

5. Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above: The door could become damaged if it does not work properly.

USEFUL TIPS

Download the Use and Care Guide from www.hotpoint.eu for more information

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook various different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.

COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME

The “Forced Air” function enables you to cook different foods (such as fish and vegetables) on different shelves at the same time. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.
