Retention of this Instruction Book  
This Instruction Book must be kept handy for reference as it contains important  
details on the safe and proper use of the appliance.  
If you sell or pass the appliance to someone else, or move house and leave it behind, make  
sure this Book is also provided so the new owner can become familiar with the appliance and  
safety warnings.  
If the Book is lost or damaged a copy may be obtained from General Domestic Appliances Ltd,  
Morley Way, Peterborough, PE2 9JB.  
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an  
extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested  
that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to temporary  
finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

steam escaping from the oven  
when the door is opened could  
condense on, and perhaps  
stain, the adjacent surface. To  
prevent permanent staining,  
the adjacent surface should be  
made of a material that is heat  
resistant and easy to clean.  
Adjacent tall cabinets should  
not be deeper than the oven  
housing cabinet.  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE  
MUST BE EARTHED.  
1. General  
The appliance is designed for  
mounting at a safe level into an  
open housing which must be  
secured to the backing wall.  
IMPORTANT  
It is essential that the lower  
cupboard is constructed in the  
manner illustrated see pages 6 and  
7 ie. having side, back and roof  
panels so joined as to provide no  
apertures which could permit  
access to the oven unit when  
installed .  
2. Oven Unit Housing Cabinets  
a. The oven unit housing cabinet  
dimensions must comply with  
Fig. 4. (See page 7.)  
b. An air gap of 50 mm minimum  
must be provided at the rear of  
any top or bottom cupboards  
or shelves. (See Fig. 1 page  
6.)  
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 wooden packing under  
the bottom of the cabinet.  
Make sure that the cabinet  
rests firmly on the cabinet floor  
without rocking  
c. Ventilation must be  
unobstructed, ie. 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 shown overleaf.  
c. Before the oven is fitted, the  
cabinet must be firmly secured  
to the backing wall for stability.  
d. The air gap at the rear allows  
the warmed air to pass out of  
the inner cabinet space, but  
where it is intended to fit

The Cooking Systems in your Double Oven  
Your new oven is equipped with  
three different cooking systems:  
1. Conventional Heating  
(Top Oven) - with upper and  
lower heat. This system is  
1
particularly suitable for roasting  
and baking on one shelf only.  
2. Grilling (Top Oven) - Has a full  
width, fully controllable grill. The  
grill also has an economy setting  
2
which enables you to use just the  
left section.  
NOTE: The oven door should  
be open when grilling.  
(See page 21.)  
3. Fan Cooking (Lower Oven) -  
the fan oven operates by  
constantly blowing heated air  
3
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).  
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a  
momentary puff of steam 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.  
11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Before Using the  
Oven for the First Time  
Make sure the electricity supply  
is switched ON.  
that the room is well ventilated (eg,  
open a window or door) and that  
persons who may be sensitive to  
the odour avoid any fumes. It is  
suggested that any pets be  
removed from the room until the  
new smell has ceased.  
Turn the selector switch to fan oven  
function, then turn oven thermostat to  
MAX. Also turn Top Oven/Grill  
selector to MAX.  
Please note that when the double  
oven is used for the first time a  
slight odour may be emitted due to  
the ‘burning off’ of any temporary  
finish on oven fittings and elements  
and the removal of moisture  
absorbed by the lagging. The odour  
will cease after a short period of  
use.  
To remove the ‘new smell’, heat up  
the empty oven for 30 minutes  
keeping the door closed. Ensure  
The oven temperature thermostat  
lights will come on as well as the  
interior light, oven fan, control panel  
illumination, and cooling fan.

Turn the control clockwise to set the  
top oven thermostat to the required  
temperature. An indicator light will  
illuminate. This will remain on until the  
oven reaches the required  
temperature. This light will then cycle  
on and off as the thermostat maintains  
control of the oven thermostat.  
Before using your oven in the  
ordinary way, ALWAYS make  
sure that the timer has been set  
to MANUAL operation. Unless  
this is done, the main oven cannot  
heat up. Before seeking assistance,  
make sure this is done (refer to oven  
timer operation).  
Multifunction Selector  
Grill Control  
Rotate the control knob in either  
direction until the required function  
symbol appears in the control window.  
Many of the functions will also require  
the main oven thermostat to be set  
before the oven will heat up.  
The grill control is designed to provide  
variable heat control of either  
both grill elements on together or the  
single left-hand grill element only. Turn  
the top oven control clockwise past the  
temperature settings to the half grill or  
full grill settings, depending on which  
you require. To set the grill power, turn  
the grill control to any setting 1-6. After  
use always return the controls to their  
off position "O".  
Main Oven Temperature Control  
This is used in addition to the  
multifunction selector. This is used for  
the functions: fan oven, fan grill, half  
grill and full grill and conventional  
oven.  
Cooling Fan  
Turn the control clockwise to set the  
oven thermostat to the required  
temperature.  
A gentle flow of air will be blown below  
the control panel when any  
control is used. In some instances this  
will continue after switching off.  
This helps to keep the control panel  
and knobs cool.  
If the timer is set correctly and the  
selector switch set to a suitable  
function an indicator light will  
illuminate. This will remain on until  
the oven reaches the required  
temperature. This light will then cycle  
on and off as the thermostat maintains  
control of the oven temperature.  
After use Always return the controls to  
their off ‘O’ position.

Oven Timer Operation  
The oven timer offers you the following  
features:  
8. Wine or beer may ferment and  
cream may curdle during the  
delay period, so it is best to add  
these ingredients just before  
serving.  
9. Foods which discolour should be  
protected by coating in fat or  
tossing in water to which lemon  
juice has been added, prior to  
placing food in the oven.  
1. Time of Day  
2. Automatic Cooking  
3. Minute Minder  
Automatic Cooking  
The main fan oven can be controlled  
automatically.  
10. Dishes containing liquid should not  
be filled too full to prevent  
boiling over.  
11. Food should be well sealed (but  
not airtight) in a container to  
prevent the loss of liquid during  
cooking. Aluminium foil gives a  
good seal.  
Guidance on automatic cooking  
1. Select foods which will take the  
same time to cook.  
2. Set the oven timer so that the food  
has just finished or is just about to  
finish cooking on your return to the  
oven. This will ensure the food has  
not cooled down and does not  
require reheating before serving.  
3. Food should be as cold as possible  
when it goes into the oven, ideally  
straight from the refrigerator.  
Frozen meat and poultry should be  
thawed thoroughly before it is put in  
the oven.  
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly  
before serving.  
4. We advise that warm food should  
never be placed in the oven if  
there is to be a delay period. Stews  
prepared by frying the meat and  
vegetables should be cooked as  
soon as possible.  
5. We advise dishes containing left-  
over cooked poultry or meat, for  
example Shepherds Pie, should not  
be cooked automatically if there is to  
be a delay period.  
6. Stews and joints should be cooked  
by the long slow method, so  
that the delay period is kept to a  
minimum.  
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful  
bacterial growth in certain foods (ie  
poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start  
should be kept to a minimum.

Grilling in the Top Oven  
Keep young children away from  
the appliance when the grill is in  
use as the surfaces get extremely  
hot.  
Grilling should NOT be  
undertaken with the Grill/Top  
Oven door closed. (See below)  
The heat can now be adjusted by  
setting the grill regulator.  
Please note that the Grill will not  
operate unless the Top Oven/Grill  
Selector is in a grill position.  
After use, turn both controls  
ANTI-CLOCKWISE to their off  
positions.  
Never: Line the grill pan with  
aluminium foil.  
Grill Procedure  
The grill control provides variable  
heat control of the grill element and  
will only operate once the oven  
control has been set to a grill  
position (fully clockwise).  
Ensure oven timer is set to Manual.  
Pre-heat the grill at setting 6 for  
approximately 1 minute.  
When toasting/grilling, the rod shelf  
is placed in either the first or  
second runner position from base. The  
grill pan is placed on the shelf and  
pushed back as far as possible to  
correctly position it under the grill  
element. Leave the control at 6 for  
toast, and for sealing and fast  
cooking of foods. For thicker foods  
requiring longer cooking, turn the  
switch to a lower setting after the  
initial sealing on both sides at 6.  
The thicker the food, the lower the  
control should be set.  
The grill regulator is designed to  
provide variable heat control of  
either the twin grill elements on  
together or the single left-hand grill  
element only, depending on which  
mode you select:  
To select twin grill, first turn the Top  
Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Full  
Grill.  
The heat can now be adjusted by  
setting the grill regulator.  
To select single grill turn the Top  
Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Half  
Grill.  
Food which requires browning only  
should be placed under the hot grill  
directly on the shelf in the first or  
second runner from the bottom of  
the oven, according to the depth of  
the dish.  
Care should be taken when  
removing the grill pan during or  
directly after use.  
After use, always return both  
controls anticlockwise to the OFF  
position.  
NOTE: The grill pan must be  
cleaned after every use. Excess  
fat build up in the bottom of the  
pan could cause a fire hazard.

Cooking in the Top Oven –  
Conventional Cooking  
The Top Oven can be used to cook  
small quantities of food or used in  
conjunction with the Main Oven to  
provide additional cooking space  
so often necessary when  
reaches the required temperature.  
The indicator light will then  
automatically go off and on during  
cooking as the thermostat maintains  
the correct temperature. If the  
indicator light doesn’t come on  
when the control knob is turned,  
check that the oven timer is set to  
Manual as described in ‘Oven Timer  
Operation'.  
entertaining.  
The oven is designed so that the  
grill element operates at a reduced  
heat output (element will not glow),  
combined with a heating element  
situated underneath the floor of the  
oven.  
Do not place items directly onto  
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 directly beneath the element. (As  
a guide, the front of the  
utensil should be approximately  
100 mm/4 in from the front of the  
shelf.)  
There are two cooking positions, the  
shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the  
base).  
Food or utensils must never be  
placed directly on the floor of the  
oven.  
There should always be at least  
25mm (1 in) between the top of the  
food and the grill element.  
Do not use utensils larger than  
300mm x 230mm (12in x 9in).  
Larger utensils should be used in  
the Main oven.  
Cooking Meat/Poultry in the Top  
Oven  
The Top Oven is most useful for the  
longer slower cooking required for  
cheaper cuts of meat – casserole  
cooking, pot roasting, braising etc.  
Small joints of meat up to 1.5 kg  
(3 Ib), or poultry, up to 3.6 kg (8 Ib)  
in weight can be roasted in a small  
meat pan in the Top Oven, but  
should preferably be ‘slow roasted’  
or covered with a lid of aluminium  
foil (one or two incisions in the top  
of the foil will allow the meat or  
poultry to brown).  
Larger joints of meat, and poultry  
weighing more than 3.6 kg (8 Ib),  
should be roasted in the Main  
Oven.  
Do not use the Main Oven meat  
pan or the grill pan as a meat pan  
in the Top Oven as air circulation  
will be seriously restricted.  
Top Oven as a Warming  
Compartment for Plates and  
Dishes  
Place the plates and dishes on the  
shelf that has been positioned on  
runner 1 of the oven and turn on the  
Top Oven thermostat to 100˚C for 10-  
15 minutes.  
Operation  
To heat the oven, turn the Top  
Oven/Grill Selector clockwise, selecting  
the required temperature between  
100˚C (200˚F) and 220˚C (425˚F) as  
recommended in the Top Oven  
Temperature Charts. The Top Oven  
indicator light will immediately come  
on and remain on until the oven  
DO NOT use the grill control.

Main Oven – Fan Grilling  
Fan grilling is a combination of heat  
from the grill element and the oven fan  
circulating the hot air around the food.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
If Manual fan grilling is required  
always ensure the timer is set to  
Manual.  
Do not use the oven without the  
removable oven roof in position with  
its front flange facing downwards.  
The cooking temperatures and times  
are calculated from a cold oven.  
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.  
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.  
4. Turn the oven thermostat control  
to the required temperature (see  
Fan Grilling Roasting Chart).  
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.  
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.  
As with the fan oven cooking there is  
no need to pre-heat the oven – yet  
another economy feature. Also you can  
cook more than one thing at a time –  
even up to 4 small chickens.

Main Oven - Fan Only  
The oven has a fan only position, which  
can be used to assist defrosting by  
circulating unheated air around the  
food.  
Foods ideally suited for fan defrosting  
(without heat) are those which are  
normally served cold, e.g. cream/cream  
cakes, butter cream filled cakes,  
gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes,  
quiches, pastries, biscuits, bread  
croissants, fruit and many delicate  
frozen foods.  
Time to defrost will depend on type  
and size of the food and the room  
temperature.  
Operating Procedure  
1. Turn the selector switch to the fan  
only position.  
2. After use always return the control  
to the off position and close the  
oven door.  
If fish, meat and poultry are to be “fan  
only” defrosted then where possible  
the items should be thin e.g. fish fillets,  
peeled shrimp, cubed or ground meat,  
sliced meat, thin chops, steaks or liver.  
The items should be placed so the  
maximum amount of surface area is  
exposed to the circulating air and  
turned regularly to ensure even  
defrosting.  
DO NOT turn the oven thermostat  
control on.  
DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by  
warming the food through.  
Fan defrosting without heating is only  
suitable for meat and poultry joints up  
to a maximum weight of 1.8kg (4 lb).  
It is important to wash both roast  
and cooking utensils before cooking  
immediately after defrosting.  
It is vitally 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.  
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 390  
x
300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays  
no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x  
10ins), these should be positioned  
centrally on the oven shelf.  
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.  
– Do not fit shelves upside down.  
– Never use more than 3 shelves in  
the oven as air circulation will be  
restricted.  
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  
– 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.  
compensate  
oven load.  
for  
the  
extra  
Unless otherwise indicated in the  
charts, food is placed in a cold  
oven, i.e. without pre-heating. 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 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.

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes  
Temperature and Time  
(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry  
may be dusted lightly with sea-  
soned 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.  
The oven is provided with two shelves.  
A third is available as an optional extra,  
contact Genuine Parts & 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.  
(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  
Baking trays should allow an equal gap  
on all sides of the oven.  
instructions, and remember to  
reduce the temperatures given  
for conventional ovens by  
approximately 25˚C and the time  
by approximately 10 minutes per  
hour.  
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.  
(g) Potatoes for roasting only require  
to be brushed with cooking oil or  
melted fat.  
(h) It is not 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.  
(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.  
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 lb), or at room  
temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per  
450g, 1 lb).  
(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.  
Frozen meat or poultry must be  
completely defrosted before placing  
in the oven.  
It is essential to wash thoroughly and  
cook meat and poultry immediately  
after defrosting.

The Slow Cook Setting  
Your Multifunction oven has a ‘slow  
cooking’ facility.  
This is used for slow cooking, keeping  
food warm and warming plates for  
short periods.  
Operating Procedure  
1. Ensure Oven Timer is set to  
Manual.  
2. Turn the selector switch to the fan  
oven position.  
3. Turn the oven thermostat control to  
temperature setting S. The oven  
light will remain on.  
Some Advantages of Slow Cooking  
are:-  
The oven stays cleaner because there is  
less splashing.  
The oven indicator light will remain  
on until the oven reaches the  
set temperature. This light will then  
automatically cycle on and off  
during cooking as the oven  
temperature is controlled.  
Timing of food is not as critical, so there  
is less fear of overcooking.  
Fully loading the oven can be very  
economical.  
4. After use always return both  
controls to the off position and close  
the oven door.  
Cooking times can be extended in  
some cases by up to 2hrs. for late  
comers.  
Bearing in mind these advantages, it  
makes sense to cook larger quantities  
of food than required and store them in  
a freezer to be used cold or for re-  
heating.  
It is important to follow the  
guidelines given for preparing food  
using the ‘Slow’ setting.  
Slow cooking can only be used with  
the selector switch set to fan oven  
position and the oven temperature  
control to temperature setting ‘S’.

Using The Slow Cook Setting  
Points to bear in mind when  
preparing food:-  
Storage and Re-heating of Food  
1. If food is to be frozen or not  
served immediately, cool it in a  
clean container as quickly as  
possible.  
2. Thaw frozen food completely in  
the refrigerator before re-heating.  
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and  
quickly either on the hotplate or  
1. Make sure all dishes will fit into the  
oven before preparing the food.  
2. All dishes cooked by the Slow Cook  
setting should be cooked for a  
minimum of 6 hours. They will 'hold'  
at this setting for a further hour but  
marked deterioration in appearance  
will be noticed in some cases.  
3. Joints of meat and poultry should be  
cooked at fan oven 170˚C for 30 mins  
before turning to the Slow Cook  
setting.  
in the fan oven, 170  
serve immediately.  
˚C and then  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
4. Meat over 2.7 Kg. (6 lbs) and poultry  
over 2 Kg. (4 lbs 8oz) are unsuitable for  
the Slow Cook setting.  
5. Always stand covered joints on a rack  
over the meat tin, to allow good air  
circulation.  
6. Pork joints can only be cooked, if an  
internal temperature of at least 88  
˚C  
is reached. This can be tested using  
a meat thermometer.  
7. This method is unsuitable for stuffed  
meat and poultry.  
8. Always bring soups, casseroles and  
liquids to the boil before putting in the  
oven.  
9. When casseroles are used, cover the  
food first with foil and then the lid to  
prevent loss of moisture.  
10. Always thaw frozen food completely  
before cooking.  
11. Root vegetables will cook better if cut  
into small even sized pieces.  
12. Always adjust the seasoning and  
thickenings at the end of the cooking  
time.  
13. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5  
hours cooking and should be  
observed from time to time.  
14. Dried red kidney beans must be  
boiled for a minimum of ten minutes  
after soaking, before inclusion in any  
dish.

Main Oven Grilling  
Grilling Procedure:  
DO NOT allow young children near the  
appliance when the grill is in use as the  
surfaces can get extremely hot.  
1. Open the oven door and position the  
rod shelf as recommended in the  
grilling chart (see below) for the food  
being cooked.  
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE  
UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOOR  
CLOSED.  
2. Turn the multifunction selector switch to  
Half Grill or Full Grill and then turn the  
Main Oven temperature control to the  
required setting to pre-heat for  
approximately 5 minutes.  
3. Position the grill pan centrally under  
the grill element and push back as far  
as the location stops on the rod shelf.  
4. Leave the oven thermostat at setting  
230˚C for toast and for fast cooking of  
foods. For thicker foods requiring  
longer cooking turn the thermostat to  
a lower setting, after initial sealing on  
both sides at 230˚C. The thicker the  
food, the lower the thermostat  
should be set.  
Do Not line the grill pan with aluminium  
foil.  
Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after  
every use. Excess fat build-up in the bottom  
of the pan could cause a fire hazard.  
Preheat the grill on the required setting for  
5 minutes  
Door position for grilling:  
If excessive smoke is emitted, reduce  
the setting.  
5. After use always return both controls  
to their OFF (O) position.

Care and Cleaning  
Do not use scouring pads or  
abrasive cleaners/powders which  
may scratch the surface. Under no  
circumstances should  
abrasive cleaning materials be  
used.  
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH  
BEFORE CLEANING.  
Before switching on again, ensure  
that all controls are in the OFF  
position.  
Cleaning the Exterior  
The outside of both ovens can be  
cleaned, when cooled down, using a  
cloth which has been rinsed in warm  
soapy water. The oven can then be  
wiped down with a clean dry cloth.  
Never use an abrasive powder as this  
will damage the surface.  
Top Oven  
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to  
remove stubborn stains from the  
rod shelves, grill pan and floor and  
roof of the oven.  
Stay Clean Oven Liners  
Lower Oven  
Refer to the instructions below for  
cleaning the following Stay Clean  
panels; Oven – side and rear  
panels.  
Remove the rod shelves and meat  
pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad  
to remove stubborn stains from the  
rod shelves, meat pan and the floor  
of the oven. Refer to the instruction  
opposite for cleaning the ‘Stay Clean’  
panels. 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.  
How Stay Clean Oven Liners  
Work  
The surfaces of the Stay Clean oven  
liners are treated on the mottled face  
with a special vitreous enamel which  
absorbs cooking soils. At  
Decorative Trims  
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. In most cases  
normal cooking operations at this  
temperature will permit this cleaning  
operation to proceed during  
cooking .  
It is advisable to clean the decorative  
trims regularly to prevent any build  
up of soiling which may detract from  
the appearance of the Cooker. The  
recommended method of cleaning  
is to wipe over the trims with a soft  
cloth wrung out in warm water, or  
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in  
doubt try the cleaner on a small area  
of trim which is not noticeable in  
normal use), then after wiping with a  
cloth wrung out in clear water, dry  
with a soft clean cloth.  
However if higher cooking  
temperatures are not used  
regularly, it may be necessary, in  
order to prevent heavy soiling, to  
run the oven without meat pan, at  
maximum setting for a couple of  
hours in Fan Oven mode ONLY. This  
may be necessary once a month or  
every two or three  
Door & control panel trims  
Regularly wipe with a clean damp  
cloth and polish with a clean dry  
cloth.  
months depending on the type and  
amount of oven cooking.

Care and Cleaning  
It should not normally be necessary  
to clean the Stay Clean panels with  
water. If the user feels it is desirable  
to do so, wash them down in warm,  
soapy water, followed by rinsing with  
clear water: Do not use biological/  
enzyme washing powder, harsh  
abrasives or oven chemical  
cleaners of any kind. Replacement  
oven liners arE available should you  
require them, from your nearest  
Hotpoint Service Centre (see back  
page).

Care and Cleaning  
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that  
is coated with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive  
powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected  
to any sharp mechanical blows.  
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool pad. For slight soiling the  
inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.  
After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.  
CLEANING THE DOORS  
SIDE OPENING DOORS  
Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down doors, except take care to  
support the weight of the inner glass when removing and refitting.  
DROP DOWN DOORS  
Remove the door inner glass as follows.  
1.  
Open the door fully and unscrew the two screws securing the glass panel  
so that the securing brackets can be turned. There is no need to remove  
the screws completely.  
2.  
Turn the brackets so that the glass can be  
removed and cleaned at the sink (Fig. 1.)

not resolved under this Guarantee, Hotpoint will replace  
your appliance or, if you prefer, give you your money back.  
Your statutory rights are not affected, and the Guarantee is  
additional and subject to the terms of Hotpoint’s Five Year  
Parts Guarantee.

card or you can spread the cost and pay by direct debit

This includes an annual Electrical and Safety check and

Hotpoint’s Free Five Year Guarantee  
From the moment your appliance is delivered  
Hotpoint guarantees it for FIVE YEARS.  
In the Five Years all replacement parts are FREE  
provided that they are fitted by our own  
Service Engineer. During the first year our  
Engineer’s time and labour is also free.  
Our guarantee covers loss of food in our  
refrigeration and freezer products up to £250  
during the first year, subject to verification by  
one of our engineers.  
After the first year we will charge for our  
Engineer’s time and labour. We do, however,  
operate a range of Service Plans (see opposite)  
which, for an annual payment, enables you to  
cover any repair costs which may be necessary.  
All our service repairs are guaranteed for  
twelve months in respect of our labour and any  
parts fitted.

An annual payment covers you for all repairs for all your  
Hotpoint appliances which are less than ten years old. It  
also covers the cost of loss of food up to £250 in our  
refrigeration and freezer products. There is also the  
option of Kitchen Cover with Maintenance at an  
additional cost. Any additional Hotpoint appliances  
purchased after you have joined Hotpoint Kitchen Cover  
will automatically be included during the annual period

Appliance Registration  
To ensure that you have the opportunity to benefit from  
any of the above Service Schemes and other offers you  
should complete and return immediately the Appliance  
Registration Form/Questionnaire supplied with this  
appliance. Full details and costs of our Service Schemes,  
together with an application form, will be sent to you at  
the end of the first year of the guarantee.  
The appliance must be used in the United  
Kingdom, and must not be tampered with or  
taken apart by anyone other than our own  
Service Engineers.  
You may, however, buy parts which can be  
safely fitted without specialist knowledge or  
equipment. The correct fitting of such parts,  
provided they are genuine Hotpoint spares, will  
not affect your Guarantee. Parts are available  
from our Hotpoint Spares Centres (see back  
page).  
Our guarantee does not cover the cost of any  
repair, or loss of food in refrigeration products,  
due to power failure, accidents or misuse. Nor  
does it cover the cost of any visits to advise  
you on the use of your appliance. Please read  
thoroughly the instruction book supplied with  
this appliance.  
If at any time during the Guarantee period we  
are unable to repair your appliance, we will  
refund any repair costs paid to us in the  
previous twelve months. We will also offer you  
a new appliance at a reduced charge instead of  
a repair.  
Annual Safety/Maintenance Checks  
Hotpoint strongly recommends that all its  
appliances are regularly checked for electrical and  
mechanical safety, whether or not they are covered by a  
Service Plan. Worn door gaskets or hoses may cause a  
leak on an appliance, which could become dangerous if  
neglected.

NOTE: Our Engineers will use every effort to avoid  
damage to floor coverings and adjacent units when  
carrying out repairs/service work, but in locations where  
the Engineer advises you that it will be impossible to  
move appliances without risk of  
damage, he will only proceed with your approval  
that no liability is accepted.  
Our Guarantee is in addition to and does not  
affect your legal rights.  
Should you need independent advice on your  
consumer rights, help is available from your  
Consumer Advice Centre, Law Centre, Trading  
Standards Department and Citizens Advice  
Bureau.
