FUNCTIONS

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

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 odors being transferred from one food to another.

MAXI COOKING

For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg). We recommend turning the meat over during cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We also recommend basting the joint every so often to prevent it from drying out excessively.

PIZZA

For baking different types and sizes of pizza and bread. It is a good idea to swap the position of the baking trays halfway through cooking.

GRILL

For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread. When grilling meat, we recommend using a dripping pan to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of drinking water.

TURBO GRILL

For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast beef, chicken). We recommend using a dripping pan to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of drinking water.

• Download the Use and Care Guide from www.hotpoint.eu for the table of tested recipes, compiled for the certification authorities in accordance with the standard IEC 60350-1.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
• Use protective gloves during all operations.
• Carry out the required operations with the oven cold.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

• Clean 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.
• If there is stubborn dirt on the interior surfaces, we recommend running the automatic cleaning function for optimal cleaning results.
• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
• The door can be easily removed and refitted to facilitate cleaning of the glass

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.

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 (a) at the same time until it is released from its seating (b).
   • 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.
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.

CLICK TO CLEAN – CLEANING THE GLASS

1. After removing the door and resting it on a soft surface with the handle downwards, simultaneously press the two retaining clips and remove the upper edge of the door by pulling it towards you.
2. Firmly hold the panes of glass with both hands, remove them and place them on a soft surface before cleaning.
3. Refit the intermediate pane (marked with “1R”) before refitting the inside pane: To position the panes of glass correctly, make sure that the “R” mark can be seen in the left-hand corner. First insert the long side of the glass marked “R” into the support seats, then lower it into position. Repeat this procedure for both panes of glass.
4. Refit the upper edge: a click will indicate the correct positioning. Make sure the seal is secure before refitting the door.

TROUBLESHOOTING

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and levels 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-colored 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

Using the “FORCED AIR” function, you can cook different foods that require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food that requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food that requires a longer cooking time in the oven.

BREAD AUTO FUNCTION

For best results you should carefully follow the instructions, using the recipe for mixing 1000 g of dough: 600 g of flour, 360 g of water, 11 g of salt, 25 g of fresh yeast (or two packets of yeast powder). For optimal rising, allow about 90 minutes at room temperature or 60 minutes in the oven using the “Proving” function.
Put the dough into the (cold) oven, pour 100 cc of cold drinking water on to the bottom of the oven and activate the “Bread Auto” function. After cooking, leave the dough to stand on a wire shelf until completely cooled.
