Introduction to Hotpoint EW41  
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting  
service. This guarantee is only applicable if the  
appliance has been installed in accordance with  
the installation instructions detailed in this  
booklet.  
To help make the best use of your Hotpoint cooking  
equipment please read this booklet carefully.  
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use  
and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any  
other installation.  
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.

Installation  
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that  
the voltage corresponds with your supply voltage, this is  
stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the front  
of the plinth. The cooker must be connected by a  
competent person eg. (NICEIC registered contractor) to  
suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating  
of 30A and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm,  
which should be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in  
accordance with IEE regulations.  
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004  
with a conductor size of 6mm2 minimum.  
The control unit should be easily accessible in the  
event of an emergency, but must be within 2 metres  
of and not directly above an appliance.  
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding  
suppression of radio and television interference.  
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing  
the rear access cover.  
The mains cable must pass through the cable clamp  
adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable should  
be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for  
servicing.  
Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any  
brackets affixed to the rear panel and is not trapped to  
the rear wall when pushing the cooker into  
position between cabinets.  
Siting the Cooker  
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen  
cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space either side  
need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the  
cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one  
side or both as well as in a corner setting. It can also  
be used free-standing.

Ceramic Hob  
CAUTION: AS SOON AS ANY CRACK IN SURFACE BECOMES  
VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM  
THE SUPPLY.  
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in  
contact with the hob surface.  
Under no circumstances place plastic vessels or utensils on a hot hob  
surface.  
Under no circumstances use the hob as an area for storage.  
The following ceramic heaters are located beneath the circular  
cooking areas:–

The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating  
which heating element is turned on. The cooking area returns to its  
original colour when the heating element is switched OFF and cools.  
When the control is turned from the O position, the numbers on the  
control panel around the knob will show settings of 1–7, 7 is the highest  
setting, for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or  
simmer, turn the knob to a lower setting which will vary according to  
size and type of saucepan, the amount and type of food, and whether  
or not the lid is fitted. Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the  
panel when cooking is finished and before serving food. It is inadvisable  
at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in  
position as this wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from  
aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against  
overheating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element.  
After several minutes with the control at setting 7, the safety cut-out  
switches the element Off and On continuously, thus preventing any  
adverse effects that may be caused by an excessive build-up of heat in  
the cooking area.  
Settings 1 to 4 provide inputs of 8% to 40% for simmering.  
The control will be Off when O shows on the control panel.  
If hob should become cracked, Do not use until repaired.

General information notes on  
Ceramic Hobs  
1. DO NOT cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking  
DO NOT  
utensil, as this will result in damage to the surface of the  
hob.  
2. DO NOT use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur  
to the smooth surface of the hob.  
3. DO NOT drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will  
cause scratches in the surface of the hob.  
4. DO NOT allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob  
surround.  
5. DO NOT place anything between the base of the utensil and the  
ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats, aluminium foil or  
wok stand.  
6. DO NOT leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob  
when it is not in use.  
7. DO NOT place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the  
hob.  
8. DO NOT leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless  
they are being used.  
9. We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles  
across two heating areas.  
10. 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.  
11. We recommend not to use a utensil with a base diameter greater  
than 25cm (l0ins).  
12. If hob should become cracked, DO NOT USE UNTIL REPAIRED.  
13. Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.

General information notes on  
Ceramic Hobs  
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.  
In the unfortunate event of a fire it will assist in smothering the flames  
with a fire blanket or damp cloth and the electricity supply is switch Off.  
Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the  
burning pan and rushing outside with it.  
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the  
appropriate heating area.  
Safety  
requirements for  
deep fat frying  
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.  
Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of  
utensils.  
Choosing your  
Utensils  
To obtain a satisfactory performance from a ceramic hob and to  
avoid unnecessary damage, we recommend the use of good  
quality utensils with smooth flat bases.  
1. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a  
flat base, always check before buying. See diagram below.  
Remember  
Do Use  
2. Using the correct pans and utensils will result in maximum  
contact with the hob and maximum efficiency as with any type  
of electric hob.  
1. DO USE good quality smooth flat based utensils.  
2. DO USE a utensil which has approximately the same base area as  
the heating area zone being used.  
3. DO USE utensils which have more than sufficient capacity for the  
amount of food being cooked to prevent boil over or spillage.  
4. DO USE utensils with good fitting lids.  
5. DO USE a low dome pressure cooker for best results.

Top Oven/Grill Cookery Notes  
The Top Oven is fitted with fixed ‘Stayclean’ sides, a removable  
roof, and one rod shelf. It is heated by two elements – the grill  
element and an element under the floor of the oven—and has a fully  
variable temperature control like the main oven. To heat the oven,  
turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the required temperature  
as recommended in the Top Oven temperature chart. The indicator  
light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches  
the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and  
on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct  
temperature.  
Top Oven for  
Cooking  
The Top Oven is used in exactly the same way as the Main Oven to  
cook all types of food. It can either be used alone, to cook small  
quantities of food, or in conjunction with the main oven to provide  
additional cooking space, so often necessary when entertaining.  
There are two cooking positions – the shelf placed directly on the  
floor of the oven, or runner 1 from the floor of the oven. To correctly  
position the rod shelf the side rods with “indents” must be  
uppermost and to the rear, this forms an ‘arrest’ position in  
conjunction with the embossed side liners. The correct positioning of  
food is indicated in the temperature charts on pages 19 and 20.  
These charts are a guide only giving approximate cooking temper-  
atures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it  
may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C.  
Food must never be placed directly on the floor of the oven with  
out a shelf in position, and there should always be at least 25mm  
(1”) between the top of the food and the grill element. Most foods  
are cooked at a lower temperature in the smaller top oven  
than in a larger conventional main oven. Always ensure a  
7.5cm (3") gap is left at the front of the baking tray to ensure even  
cooking. Do not use utensils larger than 300mm (12") x 230mm  
(9"). Large 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 1.5kg (3 lbs) or poultry up to 2.5kg (6 lbs)  
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). Always ensure that there is at least  
25mm (1”) between the top of the foil and the grill element. Do not  
use the meat pan supplied for the main oven or the grill pan for  
roasting in the Top Oven. Larger joints of meat weighing more than  
l.5kg (3 lbs) or poultry weighing more than 2.5kg (6 lbs) should be  
roasted in the main oven.

Top Oven/Grill Cookery Notes  
Top Oven as a  
Hotcupboard  
Plates and dishes placed on the floor 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 rod shelf using the bottom runner, and turn  
the top oven control to approximately 100°C (200°F). A maximum  
time of 10-12 minutes is all that is required to heat the plates and  
dishes.  
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in  
use. Children should be kept away.  
Grilling  
GRILLING CANNOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/  
TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.  
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.  
2. Position Rod shelf as recommended in chart for food being  
cooked.  
3. The oven/grill control is designed to operate the oven or grill  
depending on the position of the oven door. With the door in the open  
or grilling position, as shown, the door switch enables the grill to  
operate. With the oven door in the grilling position, heating of the grill  
is achieved by turning the control clockwise to the desired ‘grill  
setting’ on the control panel  
i
4. Preheat the grill for five minutes at the temperature recommended  
in chart opposite for food being cooked.  
5. When grilling thicker food, the wire grid should be turned over to  
its lowest setting.  
6. Food which requires browning only should be placed under the  
hot grill, either in the grill pan or on the floor of the grill compart-  
ment, according to the depth of the dish. (The grill pan wire grid  
can be removed).  
Grill Pan Handle  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning  
and storage. The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to  
the pan. For a fixed handle remove the screw and washers from the  
grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the  
bracket, slide it towards the centre of the pan and let the handle  
locate over the bracket. Replace screw and washers and ensure that  
they are fully tightened up. For a detachable handle remove screw  
and washers from the grill pan and retain for future use.  
Please note, if a fixed handle is required, grill pan is unable to be  
kept in the Main Oven with door closed. It may be stored in the  
Top Oven with door closed.

Main Oven Cookery Notes  
The oven is fitted with ‘Stayclean’ liners, two rod shelves and a  
meat pan. Remove the meat pan if it is not being used.  
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the  
required temperature 70oC (150oF) and 230oC (450oF) as  
recommended in the temperature chart. The indicator light will  
immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the  
required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on  
during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct  
temperature.  
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.  
Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at  
a lower temperature than a conventional oven, preheating the oven is  
often unnecessary. However food such as bread, scones, Yorkshire  
pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.  
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 10oC  
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.  
Oven Positions  
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire ovens is very even,  
most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the  
shelves should be evenly spaced. Do not fit shelves upside down.  
The Top Oven rod shelf can be used in the Main Oven when cook-  
ing large quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased  
through your oven supplier or Spares Centre. Never use more than  
3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.  
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x  
300mm (15" x 12") and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm  
(13" x 10"), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.  
Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To  
avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use  
should be removed from the oven.  
Temperature  
and Time  
When 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. Baking trays should allow an equal gap at either  
side of the oven.  
N.B. Recipes in cookery books give times and temperatures for  
cooking in ordinary ovens. The introduction of improved thermal  
insulation on fan ovens makes it possible, in most cases, to reduce  
(a) the recommended temperature by 25oC (45oF) and  
(b) the recommended time by approximately 10 minutes per hour.

Main Oven Cookery Notes  
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  
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.  
(b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before  
calculating the cooking time.  
(c) Place meat/poultry in the meat pan supplied with your cooker.  
1
2
Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg (3 / lbs) should be  
roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin - or they may be 'pot roasted' -  
a small joint in a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven  
splashing and evaporation of meat juices.  
(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.  
(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with  
seasoned 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.  
(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 manufacturers pack  
instructions, and remember to reduce the temperatures given for  
conventional ovens by approximately 25oC and the time by approx-  
imately 10 minutes per hour.  
(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.  
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, 1lb), or at  
room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1lb). If however, it  
is found necessary to accelerate this process, frozen food can be  
defrosted in the fan oven at a temperature of 70oC/80oC (150/175oF).  
A 1.5kg (3lb) oven ready frozen chicken, placed in the meat pan, will  
1
3
2
4
defrost in approximately 1 / – 1 / hours.  
The breast should be covered with foil, held in position by skewers or  
string, and the giblets removed after defrosting but before cooking.  
THIS METHOD OF DEFROSTING IS ONLY RECOMMENDED  
FOR MEAT/POULTRY UP TO 2kg (4lb) IN WEIGHT, AND IT IS  
ESSENTIAL TO COOK IT THOROUGHLY, IMMEDIATELY  
AFTERWARDS.

Care and Cleaning  
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.  
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL  
CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.  
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH  
ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN  
CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND.  
Cleaning Materials  
to avoid  
1. Plastic or nylon pads, scourers, these may scratch the surface.  
2. Household abrasive powders.  
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads. Caustic  
cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal  
frame.  
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.  
Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It  
contains a mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may  
clean off soil and apply a protective film at the same time. For stubborn  
stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off  
with conditioner.  
The Ceramic Hob  
1. Jif, non-scratch scouring cream.  
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.  
3. Special Powder Cleanser.  
1. If the hob is scratched through accident or misuse, soil that  
collects will appear as fine brown lines; these are not fully  
removable but can be made less obvious by the daily use of  
cleaner conditioner. Cooking performance is in no way affected  
by scratches on the surface.  
Important Notes  
2. Pans with aluminium bases should be lifted rather than dragged  
across the hob surface. This will avoid metal rubbing off the pan  
onto the glass. Such marks are easily removed by the powder  
cleanser, provided they are not subsequently baked on for long  
periods at high temperatures.  
In the unlikely event of the ceramic hob surface cracking, isolate the  
cooker by switching it off at the main switch, and contact the nearest  
service centre. Do not continue to use the cooker until it is repaired.  
Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.  
Control panel  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any  
build up of soiling. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe  
over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in hot 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.  
Decorative Trims

Care and Cleaning  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not  
lift the door seal from the oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by  
carefully unhooking the corner clips.  
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and  
furthermore that the lettering is not blurred or removed.  
Grill/Top Oven  
Doors  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash  
these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on  
when used again. Wipe out the grill/Top oven compartment, use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelf, grill  
deflector plate and the floor of the compartment.  
Wipe over the grill door decorative outer panel with a cloth wrung out in  
hot soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water,  
dry with a soft clean cloth.  
EW41 only: Ensure that the glass panels are not subjected to any  
sharp mechanical blows.  
Inner Glass Door – open the door fully and unscrew the two  
screws securing the glass panel, taking care not to allow the glass  
to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at the sink. Stubborn  
stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. 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.  
Main Oven  
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.  
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.  
Warning: Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before  
replacing the oven lamp.  
Oven Lamp  
How ‘Stayclean’  
Works  
The surface of the ‘Stayclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face  
with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At  
temperatures of 220oC (425oF) 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 operation at this temperature will permit  
this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher  
cooking temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary, to  
prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without a meat pan at maximum  
setting for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month or once  
every two or three months depending on the type and amount of oven  
cooking.  
Oven Liners – sides  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stayclean’ panels in  
water. If desirable remove the rod shelves and the side panels and wash  
them in warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water.
