The number of accessories may vary according to which model is purchased.
Other accessories can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.

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.

USING THE TURNSPIT

Push the skewer through the centre of the meat (bound with string if poultry) and slide the meat onto the skewer until it is positioned firmly on the fork and cannot move. Push the second fork onto the skewer and slide it on until it holds the meat firmly in place. Tighten the fixing screw to secure it in position.
Insert the tip into the appropriate lodging inside the oven’s cooking compartment and rest the rounded part on the relative support.

Please note: To collect the cooking juices, position the drip tray below and add 500 ml of potable water. To avoid burning yourself when the skewer is hot, only handle it by the plastic handle (which must be removed before cooking).

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE SHELF GUIDES

• To remove the shelf guides, lift them up and pull the lower parts out of their lodgings: The shelf guides can now be removed.
• To refit the shelf guides, first fit them back into their upper seating. Keeping them held up, slide them into the cooking compartment, then lower them into position in the lower seating.

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.

QUICK PREHEAT 6-9
For preheating the oven quickly.

*ECO FORCED AIR 7-9**

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.

PYRO AUTOMATIC CLEANING – PYRO 8-9

USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

PLEASE SELECT LANGUAGE
You will need to set the language and the time when you switch on the appliance for the first time: “ENGLISH” will scroll along the display.

SET THE POWER CONSUMPTION
The oven is programmed to consume a level of electrical power that is compatible with a domestic network that has a rating of more than 3 kW: If your household uses a lower power, you will need to decrease this value.

HEAT THE OVEN
A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing: This is completely normal.
Before starting to cook food, we therefore recommend heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any possible odours. Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it. Heat the oven to 200 °C for around one hour, ideally using a function with air circulation (e.g. “Forced Air” or “Convection Bake”). Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.
Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.

COOKING TABLE

• Turn food halfway through cooking.
• Turn food two thirds of the way through cooking (if necessary).
• Estimated length of time: dishes can be removed from the oven at different times depending on personal preference.

Download the Use and Care Guide by visiting the website docs. hotpoint. eu to consult the table of tested recipes filled out for the assessment institutes in accordance with the IEC 60350 – 1 standard.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• 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.

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 COOKING COMPARTMENT WITH THE PYRO CYCLE

• Do not touch the oven during the Pyro cycle.
• Keep children and animals away from the oven during and after (until the room has finished airing) running the Pyro cycle.
• This function enables you to eliminate cooking spatters using a high temperature. At this temperature, food residues turn into deposits that can be easily wiped away with a damp sponge once the oven has cooled down.
• If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all the burners or electric hotplates are switched off while running the self-cleaning cycle.
• Remove all accessories from the oven before running the Pyro function (including the shelf guides).
• For optimum cleaning results, remove excessive residuals inside the cavity and clean the inner door glass before using the Pyro function. Then oven has two different pyrolytic cleaning functions: the complete cycle provides for a thorough cleaning if the oven is extremely dirty, while the quick cycle (ECO) is shorter and consumes less energy, thus making it suitable for use at regular intervals.
• Only run the Pyro function if the appliance contains heavy soiling or gives off bad odours during cooking.
• Please note: The oven door cannot be opened while pyrolytic cleaning is in progress. It will remain locked until the temperature has returned to an acceptable level.
• Ventilate the room during and after the pyrolytic cleaning cycle (until the room has been completely aerated).

USEFUL TIPS

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.
