Introduction  
To help you make the best use of your cooker, PLEASE READ THIS  
BOOKLET CAREFULLY.  
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service.  
The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has been installed in  
accordance with the installation instructions.  
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 (eg.  
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 any  
temporary finish and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.  
Replacing  
the Battery  
The battery is not covered by the guarantee. Use an alkaline AA battery.  
The battery holder is located in the plinth panel below the oven door.  
Open the oven door fully. Press the tag on the left hand side of the  
battery holder/cover and withdraw it just enough to get access to the  
battery. Fit the new battery with the end marked “+” on the same side of  
the battery holder as the red lead. Replace the battery holder by pushing  
it firmly into the hole in the plinth.  
DISPOSAL OF YOUR PRODUCT  
To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of your product  
carefully and safely. Remove all doors and lids (where fitted). Remove  
the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting off flush with the appliance and  
always ensure that no plug is left in a condition where it could be  
connected to the electricity supply.  
To help the environment, Local Authority instructions should be  
followed for the disposal of your product.  
Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development,  
therefore strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be

Hotplate  
The hotplate has one large high speed burner, two normal simmering  
burners and one small simmering burner which will accommodate pans  
between 100mm (4”) and 200mm (8”) diameter. All pans should be  
positioned centrally over the burners.  
The pan supports should be fitted on the hotplate such that the indents  
along one side of each pan support are inner-most.  
Those models fitted with a hotplate lid have a safety device which cuts  
off the gas supply to the hotplate unless the lid is fully open. Do not use  
the safety device as a means of controlling the burners.  
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control  
knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame  
symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks  
light the gas.  
To Use the  
Hotplate  
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.  
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and  
the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.  
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.  
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.  
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.  
DO NOT use the glass lid (if fitted) as a working surface.  
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignition electrode for lighting the gas.  
To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the  
electrodes must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or  
cleaning materials from the electrode using a small nylon brush such as a  
tooth brush. Access to the electrode can be achieved by lifting off the  
loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.  
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the  
top edge of the pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for  
cleaning information.  
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.  
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling  
period.  
Safety  
Requirements  
for Deep Fat Frying  
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.  
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly  
into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause  
frothing and spitting if added too quickly.  
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks  
of oil or fat.  
1. Do not move the pan.  
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.  
How to Deal with a  
Fat Fire  
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to  
extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as  
the force of it may spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of  
the pan.  
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

Grill  
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for  
approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full,  
but it may be necessary after sealing the food to reduce the heat as  
required.  
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg.  
Baked Alaska, place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment.  
The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit  
garnishes on the reduced setting.  
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill pan  
grid finish; clean in soapy water as described in CARE AND CLEANING  
section.  
Always ensure that the grill pan handle is correctly fitted to the grill pan.

Oven  
The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer to the  
temperature on the middle shelf; above this shelf it is hotter and below it  
is cooler. Two shelves enable full use of the temperatures inside the oven.  
Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far  
when attending to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling  
them out to the stop and then lifting them at the front to withdraw.  
The grill pan without the handle can be used in the oven. The maximum  
size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 330mm (12” x 13”).  
1. Place oven shelves in the chosen positions (refer to cooking  
charts).  
To Use The Oven  
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the oven  
control knob fully anti-clockwise. Continue to press the  
ignition button until the spark lights the gas.

(refer to cooking chart). There is a delay of about one minute  
whilst the safety device operates before the burner comes  
on full.  
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol O.  
Never place dishes on the oven base over the burner.  
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven – this should cease  
after a short period of use.  
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn  
off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at  
least one minute

Oven  
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit  
cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained  
with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection  
we recommend preheating the oven for about 15 minutes.  
Cold Start  
Cooking  
Roasting of Large  
Poultry  
The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 8 kg  
(18 lbs) of suitable shape.  
It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at  
the back of the oven.  
Storage and  
Re-heating of  
Food  
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food  
handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.  
1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a  
clean container as quickly as possible.  
2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before  
reheating.  
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or  
in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve immediately.  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
‘Cook Chill’  
Dishes  
These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or  
second shelf position. Follow the packet instructions for cooking time.  
Aluminium Foil  
If using Aluminium Foil:  
1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by  
one third.  
2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.  
3. Never cover the oven interior with foil.  
4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil.

The ‘Slow Cook’ Setting  
The ‘Slow Cook’ setting on the oven thermostat is used for slow cooking,  
keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.  
1. All dishes cooked by the ‘Slow Cook’ setting should be cooked for a  
minimum 6 hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour  
but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some  
cases.  
Using the ‘Slow  
Cook’ Setting for  
Slow Cooking  
2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk. 6 for 30  
minutes before turning to the ‘Slow Cook’ setting and never be  
cooked lower than the middle shelf position.  
3. Joints of meat over 2.7 kg (6 lbs) and poultry over 2 kg  
(4 lbs 8oz) should not be cooked using the ‘Slow Cook’ setting.  
4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin to  
allow good air circulation.  
5. Pork joints and poultry must be checked for an internal  
temperature of at least 88˚C.  
6. This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and stuffed poultry.  
7. Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before  
putting in the oven.  
8. Cover casseroles with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of  
moisture.  
9. Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.  
10. Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.  
11. Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of the cooking  
time.  
12. Use the zones of heat in the oven, e.g. meringues and milk  
puddings can be cooked lower in the oven whilst other dishes  
requiring greater heat can be cooked above them.  
13. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should  
be included in day cooking sessions, when they can 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.

Care and Cleaning  
Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur  
to prevent them from becoming burnt on. Never use biological  
washing powder, caustic cleaners, harsh abrasives, scouring pads,  
aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.  
To move the cooker forward, open the grill door and with both hands  
positioned under the roof of the compartment, lift and pull forward.  
Replace by pushing the cooker backwards. Check that the cooker is  
level. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.  
Do not attempt to lift the product using the grill door or grill door  
handle.

Care and Cleaning  
Oven Linings  
The oven side linings are coated with a special enamel which has a  
continuous cleaning action. The higher the oven temperature the more  
effective the action. In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed  
during normal cooking. However, if roasting is done frequently, or high  
temperatures are not used regularly, it may be necessary to run the oven  
empty at Mark 8 for about two hours.  
If desirable, they can be washed with warm soapy water followed by a  
rinse.  
Replacing the  
battery  
The battery is not covered by the guarantee. Use an alkaline AA battery.  
The battery holder is located in the plinth panel below the oven door.  
Open the oven door fully. Press the tag on the left hand side of the  
battery holder/cover and withdraw it just enough to get access to the  
battery. Fit the new battery with the end marked “+” on the same side of  
the battery holder as the red lead. Replace the battery holder by pushing  
it firmly into the hole in the plinth.

Installation Instructions  
The cooker can be close fitted below hotplate level. This requires a  
minimum distance of 503mm between cupboard units of  
hotplate height.  
When installing next to a tall cupboard, partition or wall, for a minimum  
distance of 400mm above hotplate level, allow a side clearance of at least  
65mm.  
The diagram below illustrates the minimum clearance between the  
cooker and adjacent walls, cupboards etc.  
The wall behind the cooker 150mm below the hotplate and 450mm  
above, and the width of the cooker, must be a non-combustible material  
such as ceramic wall tiles.  
If the cooker is to be fitted close to a corner on the left hand side, ensure  
that there is a clearance of at least 50mm to allow the main oven door to  
open fully for when removing oven shelves.  
If a cooker hood is to be installed, refer to the cooker hood  
manufacturers’ instructions regarding fixing height.

Installation Instructions  
Unpack the components from inside the grill and oven: Check that the  
following parts are present.  
Unpacking the  
Cooker  
Grill pan and grid  
Pan supports (2)  
Enamelled discs (4)  
Literature  
Grill pan handle  
Oven shelves (2)  
Aluminium burner bodies (4)  
Battery 1.5V  
Four skid feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or down to level the  
Levelling  
cooker.  
Caution: Some soft floor coverings may get damaged if the cooker is not  
moved carefully.  
The cooker must be fitted with a stability device firmly secured to the  
fabric of the building. One of the holes in the rear panel can be used to  
engage a stability bracket.  
Stability Bracket  
The bracket must be  
fitted to the wall behind the  
cooker. The diagram is a  
guide to the correct height  
at which the bracket should  
be from the floor.  
155mm  
Floor to bracket.  
The cooker is designed to match the depth of standard 600mm worktops.  
An adaptor backplate should, therefore, be fitted within the shaded area  
shown to allow the cooker to be pushed fully to the wall. If a forward  
facing backplate is used, it must be chased into the wall.  
Connecting To  
The Gas Supply  
250  
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved  
appliance flexible connection to BS 669. Hoses connected to the L.P.G.  
models should be suitable for L.P.G. and capable of withstanding  
50mbar pressure. A length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The length  
of hose chosen should be such that when the cooker is in situ, the hose  
does not touch the floor.  
The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the cooker that are likely to  
come in contact with the flexible hose do not exceed 70˚C.

Operational  
Checks  
After installation, check for gas soundness. The supply pressure can be  
checked at the grill injector. Access to the injector is by first removing  
the baffle at the front of the grill fastened by two screws. Then remove  
the fastening screw on the right hand side of the burner and slide the  
burner off the injector. Ensure that the grill burner is correctly located  
under the fixing screw on reassembly.  
Fit the battery. Fit the hotplate burner bodies, enamelled discs and pan  
supports. Referring to the instructions for use where  
necessary.  
1. Check that the hotplate and grill burners ignite correctly and  
burn with a steady flame. Check for a steady flame on the  
low setting.  
2. Check that with the oven set to mark 9, the burner ignites at  
low rate, and then increases to full rate within 60 seconds.  
Leave the oven full on with the door closed for 10 minutes, and  
check that when the control is turned to the ‘Slow Cook’  
setting that the flame reduces.  
Instruct the user on the operation of the cooker.

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.
