Note: Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF position,  
when the appliance is not in use.  
Operating the  
control when the  
grill is in use  
In common with all cookers having controls sited above the grill  
compartment, care must be taken when setting the controls, due  
to hot air being emitted from the grill compartment.  
Cooling Fan  
A gentle flow of air will be blown below the control panel when the  
oven/grill controls are in use. In some instances this will continue after  
switching the oven / grill off. This is not unusual it helps to keep the  
control panel and knobs cool.

General information notes on  
Ceramic Hobs  
1. DO NOT cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as  
DO NOT  
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.  
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.  
Remember  
Do Use  
1. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a flat base,  
always check before buying.  
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 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 the following pages.  
These 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. 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.

Grill Pan and Handle  
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 (A), slide it  
towards the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the  
bracket (C). 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 keep safe.  
Please note that if a fixed handle is required, the grill pan cannot  
be kept in the Fan Oven with the door closed but may be stored in  
the Top Oven when the appliance is not in use.  
Warning: Ensure when using grill pan handle in the detachable  
manner it is centralised and secure.

Solarplus Grill  
CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN 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  
preheat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling  
the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any pre-  
heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved  
by preheating the grill for about 1 minute.  
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh.  
Under no circumstances should pointed objects be inserted into the  
mesh. 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  
anticlockwise, 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 NEVER 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 Off  
position.  
Grilling procedure:  
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.  
2. Position rod shelf as recommended in chart for food being  
cooked.  
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned  
centrally under the grill element.  
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause  
over heating of fat in grill pan.

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 80oC (176oF) 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 approximately 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).

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  
Important Notes  
1. Cif, 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.  
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.  
Decorative Trims  
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 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.  
Control Panel  
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm soapy water. To dry, gently  
wipe over with a clean soft cloth.  
TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WIPING OVER METALLIC PAINTWORK.  
DO NOT USE SCOURING PADS AND ABRASIVE CLEANERS, THESE WILL  
SPOIL THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR APPLIANCE.

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  
warm soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry  
with a soft clean cloth.  
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  
Oven Lamp  
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.  
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.

Cooking Results Not Satisfactory?  
Problem  
Check  
Grilling  
Uneven cooking front  
to back  
Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below  
the grill element.  
Fat splattering  
Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a temperature.  
Oven Baking  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit  
level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable  
packing e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should  
be checked both left to right and front to back. Ensure that the  
food is positioned centrally in the oven.  
Sinking of cakes  
The following may cause cakes to sink:  
1. Preheat of fan ovens.  
2. Cooking at too high a temperature.  
3. Using normal creaming method with soft margarine.  
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in  
Over/Under cooking  
Fast/Slow cooking  
the oven temperature charts, however, it may be necessary to  
o
increase or decrease temperatures by 10 C to suit  
personal taste.

Top Oven Baking  
Uneven cooking front  
to back  
Ensure the cooking utensil is at least 3ins from the front  
of the shelf.  
1. Too large baking sheet used. (See 'Cookery Notes')  
2. Over loading of oven and always ensure even air  
gaps around baking tins.  
Uneven cooking of  
cakes  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Ensure that the shelf is level (see above) and that the  
food is positioned centrally in the oven.  
Food is taking too long  
to cook  
Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is  
not larger than 12ins x 9ins, e.g. the main oven meat pan.  
Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the  
oven.  
Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a  
safety cut-out to operate:  
Top oven and grill do  
not work. Main oven  
works.  
a) grilling with the top oven door shut;  
b) grilling for excessive long periods at maximum settings.  
Switch off the appliance and allow the cooker to cool for  
approx. 30 minutes. Switch the cooker back on again and  
check that the grill/top oven is now operating correctly.  
Grill keeps turning on  
and off.  
When the grill control is operated at a setting less than 4,  
this is normal regulator operation, not a fault.

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.  
All Hotpoint servicing is carried out by our own  
Service Organisation located throughout the  
United Kingdom and Eire. We will be happy to
