The Cooking Modes  
in your Cooker  
Your new cooker is equipped with a number of  
different cooking modes:  
GB  
Roast Chicken (Main Oven)  
- specially created for cooking excellent roast  
poultry. This mode can be used to roast chickens,  
duck, turkey and other poultry to perfection. Each  
heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee a  
homogeneous temperature within the oven. A  
temperature is suggested on this mode but this can  
be altered using the '+/-' control knob.  
Conventional Heating (Top Oven)  
- with upper and lower heat. This system is  
particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one  
shelf only.  
Variable Grilling (Top Oven)  
- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling  
with a full or half width fully controllable grill.  
Note: The Top Oven door should be open when  
grilling.  
Fish (Main Oven)  
- this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear  
heat to lightly poach fish dishes without overcooking  
or drying out. A temperature is suggested on this  
mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control  
knob.  
Fan Oven (Main Oven)  
- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing  
heated air, from an element wrapped around the fan,  
into the oven. This gives improved efficiency and in  
general, enables the use of lower temperatures for  
cooking. It also means that there is less need to be  
particular about shelf positions and that you can  
bake at more than one level simultaneously (Batch  
Baking).  
Bread cycle - Auto  
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour.  
When this mode is selected the time and  
temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for  
baking bread weighing up to 1.5kg, either in a tin or  
on a baking tray. This mode includes a proving  
cycle and a baking cycle. If an initial proving cycle  
is needed this can be done using the RISE mode  
(8). Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe  
book supplied with the cooker.  
Traditional (Main Oven)  
- the upper and rear heating elements are switched  
on in this position. The traditional oven brings an  
outstanding level of temperature distribution and  
reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use  
only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By  
using the various shelf positions available you can  
balance the quantity of heat between the upper and  
lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below  
or above, use the lower or higher shelves  
Cake cycle - Auto  
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour.  
When this mode is selected the time and  
temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for  
baking sponge based cakes that take between 30  
minutes and 1 hour to cook. Some recipe ideas are  
included in the recipe book supplied with the  
cooker.  
respectively.  
Roast Meat (Main Oven)  
Rising (Main Oven)  
- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This  
mode raises the temperature in the oven to a very  
high heat for the first part of the cooking cycle to  
seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices of  
the meat throughout cooking. After this the  
temperature is reduced to the set temperature using  
each heating element in turn to guarantee a  
homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A  
temperature is suggested on this mode but this can  
be altered using the '+/-' control knob.  
- this mode heats and holds the oven at 40°C. It is  
ideal for proving bread and yeast based dough  
mixtures. When this mode is selected a cooking  
duration of 14 minutes is automatically set, this can  
be altered by pressing the 'time/mode' button until  
the cooking duration icon flashes. Then use the '+/-'  
control knob to adjust the cooking duration.

The recommended temperatures given are for  
conventional and fan ovens. When using a fan oven  
it will be necessary to reduce the cooking time by 10  
minutes per hour and lower the temperature by up to  
20°C.  
Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to  
pre-heat the oven.  
However, pre-heating is recommended when  
cooking items such as Yorkshire puddings, whisked  
sponges and bread. Your experience with the cooker  
will enable you to select the cooking time and  
temperature best suited for your recipe.  
Condensation  
Condensation may become evident on the inner door  
and water may drip through the vent. This is normal  
when heat and moisture are present and may be a  
result of any of the following:  
1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.  
2. The moisture content of the food eg. meat, roast  
potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasting meat, etc.  
3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one  
time.

The Working of the Heating Zones  
Do Not  
Heating only occurs within the marked circular  
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down  
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive  
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal  
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the  
ceramic glass from overheating. After several  
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating  
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating  
elements off and on automatically to avoid any  
damage to the ceramic glass.  
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good  
condition, follow these simple guidelines:  
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a  
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage  
to the surface of the hob.  
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as  
damage may occur to the smooth surface of  
the hob.  
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as  
this will cause scratches in the surface of the  
hob.  
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact  
with the hob surround.  
The HOT HOB indicator light:  
This indicates that the temperature of the  
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,  
even when the heating element has been switched  
off but is still hot.  
Do not place anything between the base of the  
utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g.  
do not use asbestos mats,  
aluminium or wok stand.  
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible  
items on the hob when it is not in use.  
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic  
containers on the hob.  
Choice of saucepans  
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the  
ceramic hob are suitable.  
ALWAYS USE:  
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas  
switched On unless they are being used.  
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they  
are switched On. We recommend not to  
place large preserving pans or fish kettles  
across two heating areas.  
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy  
bases.  
saucepan's manufactured from aluminium  
(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.  
Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan  
must cover the heating zone completely.  
saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to  
reduce cooking time and energy use.  
Do not leave utensils partly covering the  
heated areas. Always ensure that  
they are placed centrally over the  
heated areas and have the same  
diameter as the heating area used.  
NEVER USE:  
Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as  
these will extend cooking times, waste electricity  
and cause damaging, local hotspots on the  
glass surface.  
Pans with ridged or recessed bases.  
Pans with damaged or rough bases which could  
scratch the glass surface.  
Glass or glass ceramic utensils.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying  
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:  
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.  
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and  
injuries are caused almost invariably by picking  
up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.  
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.  
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan  
fire, as the force of the extinguisher is likely to  
tip the pan over.  
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.  
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that  
you FACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED  
from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.  
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE  
PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES  
BEFORE MOVING IT.  
GB  
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both  
clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the  
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the  
surface of the glass.  
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a  
base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).  
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be  
used on the front cooking areas.  
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned  
safely.  
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a  
high sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will  
cause damage to the surface of the glass.  
Always clean spills immediately (see Care and  
Cleaning).  
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade  
immediately.  
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance  
there could be some fire risk attached to the heating  
of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking  
utensils containing oil must not be left  
unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in  
close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.  
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely  
cover the appropriate heating area.  
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat  
or oil.  
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the  
heating or cooking period.  
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time,  
especially frozen food. This only lowers the  
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting  
in greasy food.  
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and  
lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen  
foods, in particular, will cause frothing and  
spitting if added too quickly.  
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.  
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from  
streaks of oil or fat.  
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the  
hob.

Solarplus Grill  
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not  
distorted - DO NOT store the grill pan handle on the  
grill pan grid when the grill pan runners are on the  
top runner position.  
Warning: Accessible parts may become hot  
during use. Young children should be kept  
away.  
GB  
There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and  
one on the right. You can choose to have both sides  
on or just the left side on.  
Turning the control knob clockwise, will switch both  
sides on. Turning it anti-clockwise, will only switch  
the left side on.  
The numbers which are displayed indicate the heat  
setting:  
MAXIMUM is the hottest and MINIMUM the coolest.  
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of  
grill. The solarplus grill 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 pre-heat before food is placed  
beneath them, but for normal grilling the solarplus  
grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat.  
However, when toasting, optimum performance is  
achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.  
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN  
WITH THE TOP OVEN/GRILL DOOR CLOSED  
- This will cause overheating.  
Notes  
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 or break  
the element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an  
electric shock.  
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control  
is in the Off position, 'O'.  
To operate the grill proceed as follows:  
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.  
2. Position the rod shelf as recommended, in the chart  
(next page), for the food being cooked.  
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is  
positioned centrally under the element.  
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not  
attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn the  
cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has  
cooled down before cleaning.  
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this  
may cause overheating of fat in the grill pan.

Top Oven -  
Conventional Cooking  
The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is  
Using the grill pan kit  
GB  
provided by the grill element and the element under  
the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of  
cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also  
be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).  
The operation of the controls is covered in “The  
Controls” on page 6.  
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf  
positioning.  
The top oven can be used either independently to  
cook small quantities of food or in conjunction with  
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.  
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.  
The shelf should be positioned on the first or  
second runner from the bottom.

1
To use the oven proceed as follows:  
Set the top oven control to the required  
temperature, the top oven light will come on and  
wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating  
that the oven has reached the right temperature.  
The food to be cooked should be placed in the  
centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm  
(1in) between it and the grill element. This should  
avoid burning and ensure even cooking.  
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the  
oven.  
25 mm (1 in)  
Platewarming in the top oven  
Plates and dishes placed on shelf 1 of the top oven  
will be heated when the main oven is in use.  
When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a  
meal is being cooked on the hob, place the plates and  
serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner  
and turn the top oven control to approximately 100°C.  
A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is required  
to heat the plates and dishes.  
NEVER operate the grill control when using the top  
oven for cooking or warming plates and dishes.  
WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items, china, or  
items which could be affected by heat into the  
oven.  
If using aluminium foil, never:  
1. Allow foil to touch sides of oven.  
2. Cover oven interior with foil.  
3. Cover shelves with foil.

ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED  
AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.  
'Stay Clean' Liners  
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners  
on the appliance.  
'Stay Clean' liners are covered with a special enamel  
which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures  
the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal  
cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning  
to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking  
temperatures are not used regularly then it may be  
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the  
oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours,  
from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' liners can be  
washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in  
clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.  
! Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge  
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry  
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive  
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could  
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.  
! The accessories can be washed like everyday  
crockery (even in your dishwasher).  
Cleaning of the Ceramic Hob  
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh  
abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.  
Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused  
before cleaning, spillage will be baked on  
and be very difficult to remove.  
Always switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control  
panel.  
Oven Fittings  
The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a  
dishwasher or by using a fine steel wool soap pad.  
The grill can be cleaned in warm soapy water using  
a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn  
stains or in a dishwasher.  
To minimise cleaning:  
Always take care and avoid spills.  
Always use a Ceramic Hob Cleaner-Conditioner  
whenever cleaning is done. The Cleaner-  
Conditioner forms a protective film on the  
hob and contains a mild detergent which  
makes cleaning easier. Hotpoint has a  
Cleaner-Conditioner which can be obtained,  
either through a local Hotpoint Service Centre  
or retailer, part no.6004.  
They should be cleaned after each use.  
Oven Interiors  
To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven  
fittings and where applicable the 'Stay Clean' liners.  
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not  
allow abrasive cleaners or oven spray to come into  
contact with the 'Stay Clean' liners. Use a fine steel  
wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.  
To clean off stubborn stains, the following can be  
used when the surface has cooled:  
Oven Door Cleaning  
The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy  
cleaning, see “Care and Cleaning”.  
1. Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.  
2. Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by  
carefully using a glass scraper.  
3. Hard water stains, grease spots and any  
discolouration having a metallic sheen can be  
removed with Solvol Autosol Super or any non  
abrasive stainless steel cleaner.  
Cooker Exterior  
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly  
to keep it looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth  
wrung out in warm water and dry with a soft clean  
cloth. You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but  
always read the manufacturer's instructions first.  
Always test their suitability on a small area of the  
cooker not noticeable in normal use.  
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive  
cleaners as they may scratch the surface.  
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of  
your cooker.  
After cleaning, always use the Cleaner-Conditioner and  
finish it off by polishing with a clean, dry paper towel.  
Never use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as  
they can damage the surface of the hob.  
The visual effect of any scratches which may occur  
in use can be minimised by the use of Cleaner-  
Conditioner. Such scratches cannot be removed but  
do not affect the function of the hob in any way.

Care and Cleaning  
Cleaning the glass doors  
DROP DOWN DOORS  
Ensure anti-rattle bungs are fitted before fitting inner  
door glass.  
GB  
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE GLASS  
PANELS BY PUSHING THEM TOO HARD.  
Open the door fully and  
carefully slide the first  
inner glass towards you,  
taking care not to allow  
the glass to fall.  
If necessary, the glass  
can be pushed delicately  
from the back side.  
When fitting the glass make sure it is fitted correctly  
ie reflective face is fitted the right way round.  
Ensure the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp  
mechanical blows. Take particular care not to  
damage the inner surface which is coated with a heat  
reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a  
soft cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may  
be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from  
the door  
Repeat the same  
procedure with the next  
glass.  
Now the external glass  
panel can be washed.  
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door  
glass removed.

Disposal  
Disposal of your product  
GB  
To minimise the risk of injury to children please  
dispose of your product carefully and safely.  
Remove all doors and lids. Remove the mains cable  
(where fitted) by cutting off flush with the appliance  
and always ensure that no plug is left in a condition  
where it could be connected to the electricity  
supply.  
To help the environment, Local Authority instructions  
should be followed for the disposal of your product.  
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.
