The cooking systems in your Cooker
Your new cooker is equipped with three different cooking systems:
1. Conventional Heating (Top Oven)
- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for
raosting and baking on one shelf only.
2. 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.
3. Fan Cooking (Main Oven)
- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an
element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved
efficiancy and, in general, enables the user 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).
These three systems of cooking are described more fully in the seperate
Recipe Book and we suggest you read right through the introductory
section of that book before using the oven.

Temperatures
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 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.
Condensation
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.

AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
1.
2.
Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.
To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so
the food is ready when you require it.
3.
4.
Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.
Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as
possible.
5.
6.
7.
If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic
cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.
Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could
cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.
We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay
period.
8.
9.
Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial
growth in food.
Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so
it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
10.
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.
Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
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.
Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.
Only reheat food once.

Care of the Ceramic Hob
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these
simple guidelines:
Do not stare at halogen heating units.
Do Not
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do
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).

Care of the Ceramic Hob (continued)
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 or 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 to 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.
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:
Safety
requirements for
deep fat frying
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.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade immediately.

Solarplus grill (EW82/85/92)
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should be
kept away.
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The Solarplus
high speed grill which 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.
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This
stops you from touching live parts.
Note:
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.
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.
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 rod shelf is in the
top runner position.
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. Number 4 is the hottest and number
1 the coolest.
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN
DOOR CLOSED - This will cause overheating.
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the ‘0’ Off
position.
Grilling procedure
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Position rod shelf as recommended in the chart (next page) for food
being cooked.
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned centrally
under the element.
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 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 on page 13.
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning (pages 30 and
31).
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.

Main Oven – Fan Cooking
The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element
situated at the back of the oven, around the fan
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking
times and often eliminating the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also
ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level,
because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from
the top to the bottom of the oven.
The operation of the controls is covered on page 13.

Using The Slow Cook Setting ‘S’
‘S’ SLOW setting
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.
Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot
oven.
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the
oven lining and the plates which are being warmed.
Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:
- The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
- Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
- Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
- Fully loading the oven can be economical.
- Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
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 ‘S’.
Storage and re-heating of food:
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and
cool as soon as possible.
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food once.
Operation:
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Select ‘S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature Control
clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room
for air to circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however,
if they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may
be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4 lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking
on the slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170˚C for 30 minutes
before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a meat tin (to allow good air
circulation) before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking
immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking
with a meat thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend
placing frozen food in the oven to cook.
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover food first
with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook
properly.
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then
boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any
toxins.
12. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day
cooking sessions, where they can be checked from time to time.

Cleaning of the
Ceramic Hob
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.
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 retainer, part no.6004.
To clean off stubborn stains, the following can be used when the surface has
cooled:
1.
2.
Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.
Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by carefully using a
glass scraper.
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.
3.
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.

Hotpoint Service Cover
Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your
Hotpoint’s Extended Warranties
Whether you have just one or a number of Hotpoint
appliances in your kitchen, Hotpoint has a range of
Service Plans to give you complete peace of mind.
They enable you to extend your one year labour
guarantee so that you can have repairs completed
FREE during the membership period.
Money Back
Hotpoint gives you a unique ‘Satisfaction
Guaranteed’ promise – valid for ninety days after
you have purchased your Hotpoint product. If there
is a technical problem with your Hotpoint appliance,
just call Hotpoint Service (see back page). If
necessary we will arrange for an engineer to call. If
the technical problem is 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.
Service Cover
We offer a number of payment methods; cheque,
credit card or you can spread the cost and pay by
direct debit (full details can be obtained on Free
phone 0800 716356). This covers you for all repairs
during the period of cover, which can be from 1 to 4
years. Service Cover also includes loss of food, up
to the value of £250, in refrigeration appliances.
There is also an option of Service Cover with
Maintenance at an additional cost. This includes an
annual Electrical and Safety check and replacement
of any parts as necessary.
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.
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.
Kitchen Cover
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 of cover without
further charge.

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.
•
•
•
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.
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.
Proof of Purchase
For future reference please attach your purchase
receipt to this booklet and keep it in a safe place.
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.
Spares and Accessories
Spares and accessories can be ordered from your
local Hotpoint Spares Centre (see back page),
using the order form enclosed.

•
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.
All Hotpoint servicing is carried out by our own
Service Organisation located throughout the
United Kingdom and Eire. We will be happy to
deal with any problems which you may have.
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.
