The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not  
be accepted for use in any other installation.  
Note: When the cooker is first used, an odour may be emitted - this will cease  
after a short period of use  
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat up the empty oven(s) to maximum for a  
minimum of two to three hours keeping the oven doors closed. 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 any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and also  
any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Important  
Before using your oven ALWAYS make sure that the timer has been  
set to MANUAL operation. Unless this is done, the oven cannot heat  
up.  
So before seeking assistance, make sure this is done (refer to Timer  
section)  
To release any control knob simply press its centre.  
Multifunction  
Selector  
Rotate the control knob in either direction to the required function.  
Many of the functions will also require the oven thermostat or grill  
control to be set before the appliance will heat up.  
After use knobs can be returned to the storage position by pressing  
them in at the centre.  
Oven Thermostat  
This is used in addition to the multifunction selector. This is used for the  
functions (fan oven, fan grill and top and base heat).  
Turn the control clockwise to set the oven thermostat to the required  
temperature. 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 temper-  
ature.  
Grill Control  
Cooling Fan  
This is used in addition to the multifunction selector.  
This is used for the functions (full grill and half grill).  
Turn the control in either direction to the required setting. If the selector  
switch is set to either full grill or half grill and the oven door is in its  
grilling position then the grill will heat up. After use return all controls to  
"O" (Off) position.  
A gentle flow of air will be detected, coming from beneath the control  
panel when the oven or grill is switched on. This is a safety feature that  
ensures the control panel surface and control knobs are kept cool.  
Note: It is advisable to check that all oven controls have been switched  
off after you have finished using the appliance.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION  
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the oven  
can be used.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
The Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.  
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING  
1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.  
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so  
the food is ready when you require it.  
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.  
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as  
possible.  
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic  
cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.  
6. 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.  
7. 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. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial  
growth in food.  
9. 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.  
11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.  
12. 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.  
13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.  
14. Only reheat food once.

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 with-  
out any preheat. 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 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. Select full grill or  
half grill on the multi function selector, then turn the grill control to the  
required setting. The numbers which are displayed indicate the heat  
setting. Number 6 is the hottest and number 1 is the coolest.  
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/OVEN  
DOOR CLOSED. This will cause overheating.  
The grill will not operate unless the Oven control is in the off position.  
Grilling procedure:  
1. Ensure the TIMER is set to MANUAL.  
2. Open the grill/oven door to its grilling position.  
3. Turn the multifunction selector switch to either the half grill or the full  
grill function..  
4. Turn the grill control clockwise to the required setting (1-6).  
5. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause over  
heating of fat in the grill 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 the 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.  
Warning: Ensure when using the grill pan handle in the detachable  
manner it is centralised and secure.

USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING  
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower  
temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on “pre-  
heating, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times, see “Oven Temperature Charts” later in  
book.  
NOTE: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to  
increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease  
cooking times.  
OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN  
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution  
of heat in the oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.  
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for  
cooking as air circulation is restricted.  
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the oven is in use as the surfaces get  
extremely hot.  
OVEN UTENSILS  
Do not use: Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”)  
Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)  
TEMPERATURE & TIME  
If three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to increase the  
cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes,to allow for the loss of heat  
due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have  
an even gap around the oven.

USING THE OVEN FOR CIRCULAIRE ROASTING  
CIRCULAIRE ROASTING  
Circulaire roasting - food is placed on the roasting rack, this allows the oven fan to  
circulate the hot air around the food, making it suitable for thin foods, such as chops,  
steaks, sausages as well as meat joints and poultry, as it will cook both sides at the  
same time. it is possible to cook on any shelf position, as the temperature in the oven  
is evenly distributed. Also, the oven heats up more quickly and generally will cook  
food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, so pre-heating is not necessary  
for most foods. For a guide on “cooking times” and “cooking temperatures” see  
“Circulaire Roasting Chart. If required, circulaire roasting can be timed using the Oven  
Timer. Follow the timer instructions before selecting Fan Oven function and the  
required temperature.  
Note: It is also possible to cook food on the roasting rack on one shelf, while cooking  
different types of food at the same temperature, on other shelf positions (three shelves  
maximum).  
Operating Instructions:  
STEP 1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.  
Ensure that the oven shelf is in the position you require.  
Place the food centrally on the roasting rack.  
Position the roasting rack on top of the grill/meat pan and anti-splash tray.  
Place the grill/meat pan centrally on the oven shelf.  
Ensure the oven door is fully closed.  
STEP 2. Turn the control knob (B) clockwise to the fan oven function.  
Turn the control knob (A) clockwise and select the required cooking  
temperature. The pilot light (G) will immediately come on and will 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.  
STEP 3. After use, turn controls (A) and (B) to the Off (O) position.  
Note: At the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the  
door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic  
of an oven with a good door seal.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS  
‘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.  
OPERATION:  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Turn knob B to Fan Oven function.  
3. Turn knob A to ‘S’ (Slow Cooking temperature).  
STORAGE & 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.  
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, it 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 (4lb 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 tin (to allow good air circulation)  
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.  
before  
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 to the top with  
foil 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. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to  
avoid overcooking.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS  
FAN GRILLING  
Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan  
circulating the hot air around the food.  
Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisseries or  
spit but more economically as the door is 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.  
If Manual fan grilling is required, always ensure the Timer is set to Manual.  
Operating Instructions:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Open the Oven door.  
Select the correct shelf position.  
Turn the selector switch (B) to the Fan Grill position.  
Turn the oven thermostat control (A) to the required temperature (see Fan  
Grilling Roasting Chart).  
5.  
Position the meat pan centrally under the grill elements (if using the grill pan  
always remove the grill pan handle).  
6.  
7.  
8.  
Close the oven door. Fan grilling will not begin until the door is fully closed.  
After use always return both controls to the Off position.  
If the oven timer was used, reset it to Manual.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS  
FAN GRILLING  
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.  
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 temp-  
erature to set the Thermostat. But remember that because of the  
way the oven is heated this is a more economical way of roasting.  
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 excep-  
tions 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. The cooking temperatures and times are  
calculated from a cold oven.  
3. After rinsing and drying meat, place on the roasting rack over the pan  
supplied with the anti-splash tray in position. It is important that the  
anti-splash tray is used, as it will stop the splashing of fat and help keep  
the oven clean.  
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.  
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.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS  
FAN ONLY  
The oven has a fan only position, which can be used to assist defrosting by circulating  
unheated air around the food.  
Time to defrost will depend on the type and size of the food and the room  
temperature.  
Operating Instructions:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Turn the selector switch (B) to the Fan only position.  
The oven light will remain on.  
After use always return the controls to the Off position and close the oven  
door.  
DO NOT turn the oven thermostat control on.  
DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.  
Foods ideally suited for fan defrosting (without heat) are those which are normally served cold  
eg. cream/cream cakes, butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches,  
pastries, biscuits, bread croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.  
If fish, meat and poultry are to be ‘fan only’ defrosted, then where possible the items should be  
thin eg. 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 circulat-  
ing air and turned to ensure even defrosting.  
Fan defrosting without heat is only suitable for meat and poultry joints up to a maximum weight  
of 1.8kg (4lb).  
It is important to wash both roast and cooking utensils immediately after defrosting,  
before cooking.  
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and  
hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

Note: If soft margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the  
manufacturers should be followed. Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes  
made with block margarines or butter only.  
When using more than two shelves for baking in the fan oven, best results are achieved if -  
before placing the food in the oven, it is preheated to the required temperature.

BAKING GENERAL  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Sinking of cakes  
Ensure that the oven shelves are level.  
The following may cause cakes to sink:  
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.  
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce  
standard temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.  
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.  
If using soft margarine, use an all in one method  
instead of the traditional creaming of the margarine  
and sugar. Remember when using a food mixer or  
processor not to over-cream soft margarine.  
Over/undercooking  
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in

CARE AND CLEANING  
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off  
and the appliance is fully cold.  
1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS  
(a) How "Stayclean" works.  
The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners are treated with  
a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At  
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.  
(b) Cleaning.  
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C  
(425°F) will permit this cleaning operation to proceed  
during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures  
are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to  
prevent heavy soiling, to run the ovens without shelves or  
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours (in  
Fan Oven mode only).  
MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS  
AND REAR PANEL  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the  
"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is  
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy  
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.  
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or  
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage  
the “Stayclean” oven liners.

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 clean, soft cloth.  
(c) Inner Door Panels & Glass  
Open the door fully. The glass panel may now be washed.  
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a well soaped,

This equipment is designed specifically for domestic purposes and Hotpoint Ltd cannot  
accept responsibility if used in any other type of installation.  
This appliance must not be installed over any appliance that generates heat.  
For your own safety, we recommend that your appliance is installed by a competent  
person – such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for  
Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in accordance with the  
latest Edition of the IEE Regulations.  
1. GENERAL  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
(a) The oven unit is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which  
must be secured to the backing wall, or alternatively, in the case of the single oven  
unit, under a worktop with or without a hob unit above.  
(b) In an oven/hob arrangement where it is proposed to install the oven directly below  
the hob. It is advisable that only slimline hobs are used which have the following  
maximum depths.  
Maximum hob depth  
Kitchen Worktop thickness  
(from worktop surface vertically down)  
30mm  
40mm  
55mm  
65mm  
Worktop thickness + 25mm  
40mm +  
It is most important that the hob installation instructions are strictly observed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
2. OVEN UNIT HOUSING CABINETS  
(a) The oven unit housing cabinet dimensions must comply with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.  
(b) An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom  
cupboards or shelves for ventilation.  
(c) Do not obstruct the ventilation slots provided on the oven trim. This is found  
adjacent to the bottom of the oven door.  
(d) The air gap at the rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the cabinet. If  
cabinets extend up to the ceiling, the warm air must be exhausted through to the  
front. Fig. 1.  
(e) If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, 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 resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets  
should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.  
IMPORTANT  
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e.  
having side, back and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could  
permit access to the oven unit when installed.  
3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION  
Mains Supply  
A 20 amp Double Pole control switch with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm must  
be fitted on or recessed in the wall adjacent to the oven housing cabinetry and should  
be accessible after installation. If the oven is to be wired into a connector unit this may  
be positioned behind the oven providing:–  
i. The top of the connector unit is not more than 30cm above the base of the oven  
recess – see Fig. 4.  
ii. The depth of the connector unit does not reduce the depth of the oven recess to  
less than 55cm.  
We recommend that 4mm2 twin and earth PVC insulated cable is used to connect the  
cooker to the control unit. This power supply cable must conform to BS 6004.  
Alternatively the mains supply can be taken from a household 13 amp switched fused  
spur, having a minimum contact clearance of 3mm which must be fitted adjacent to the  
oven housing cabinetry and accessible after installation. The oven must be fitted with a  
3 core cable having a minimum cross sectional area of 1.5mm2 and must conform to  
BS6500.  
The oven must not be connected using a 3 pin 13 amp plug.  
36  
 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Any spare cable must be coiled either behind the oven (not more than 30cm above the base of  
the oven recess) or pushed into the air gap below the oven after installation.  
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or above an oven a 32 amp or 45 amp double pole switch with  
a minimum contact clearance of 3mm should be used to feed both units via separate suitably  
rated cables.  
Where a hob unit is fitted above the oven unit we recommend that 85oC High Temperature PVC  
with insulated 3 core flexible cord to table 15 of BS 6141:1991 with a conductor size of 2.5mm2  
must be used to connect the hob to the control unit.  
Where a hob unit is fitted adjacent to the oven unit, then 4mm2 twin and earth cable to BS 6004  
is recommended to connect the hob unit to the control unit.  
In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 5).  
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 located on the oven front frame (lower).  
CONDUIT BOX TO MAINS TERMINAL BLOCK  
(a) The oven unit should be placed on the floor on its carton base in front of the  
housing cabinet. The rear of the unit should be in line with the conduit box.  
(b) Ensure there is sufficient cable for any future servicing.  
(c) Remove the terminal cover. Prepare the cable, pass it through the cable entry hole in  
the oven rear panel and fit to terminal block. Secure the cable clamp and replace the  
terminal cover.  
4. 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 spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.  
Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.  
(c) Before the oven is fitted the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for  
stability.  
(d) The oven unit should now be lifted (this requires two people) into the cabinet and  
pushed fully home.  
(e) Finally the oven unit must be secured to the cabinet. Position the oven side trims  
equally about the cabinet sides. This should give an overlap of approx. 1.5mm  
per side (see Fig. 2). Secure the oven unit to the cabinet, through the side trims, by  
means of the four screws provided, two each side trim.  
(f) Remove all packing material from the grill and oven interior.
