up causing the container to burst.
- operate the appliance when barefoot.
SAFETY ADVICE
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 (eg. to answer the telephone) on or in
close proximity to the cooking areas.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. Turn off the burners.
2. Cover the pan with a fire blanket or damp cloth, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least 60 minutes before moving it. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and
rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan
over. Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

HOW TO USE YOUR HOB
Gas burners
Practical advice on using the hob:
On the control panel, the following symbols are indicated
around each knob "M".

To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, we
recommend you only use pans with a diameter suitable for
the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend
beyond the pan base (see the following table).
When a liquid starts boiling, we recommend you turn the
flame down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

To light one of the burners, proceed as follows:
• turn the appropriate control knob anti-clockwise until the
pointer is on the high-flame symbol.
• press the knob down fully to activate the automatic gas
ignition.
• keep the knob pressed down for about 6 seconds with
the flame lit to allow the flame failure device to heat.
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is
not, repeat the operation.
The hob is fitted with a reducing pan
stand (shown right) which should only
be used on the auxiliary burner 'A'.
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following
in mind:
All types of pans can be used on the burners. The important
thing is that the bottom should be completely flat.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by simply
setting the knob anywhere between the high and the low
flame symbol.
Important:
• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more
than 15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the
gas duct.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues
to exit for a few moments before the flame failure device
is activated. Turn the control knob to the off position and
do not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby
letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a
danger.
• When the appliance is not in operation, check that all
control knobs are set to the off position " ". The main
gas supply tap should also be turned off.

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN
The 'Multi-function' oven combines the advantages of
Fanned Grill
convection ovens with those of fan assisted models in a
single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that
allows you to choose easily between 7 different cooking
modes. The various cooking modes are selected by means
of the function selector 'G' and the temperature selector 'H'
situated on the control panel:
Important: do not set the temperature selector 'H' over
175°C.
The heating element of the grill is activated, as well as the
fan. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the thermal radiation of the heating
elements through forced air circulation throughout the oven.
This helps to prevent foods from burning on the surface,
allowing the heat to penetrate into the food.

switched on and allows you to observe the food in the oven
without having to open the door. The oven light will come
on automatically when the function selector 'G' is turned to
any of the cooking modes.
Warning: Never place anything on the bottom of the oven
when it is in operation because this could damage the
enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium
foil, etc.) on the shelves provided with the appliance inserted
along the oven shelf guides.
Fan assisted Mode
Position the temperature control “H”: between 50°C and
250°C.
Both the heating elements and the fan, will come on. Since
the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven,
the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire
surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes
at the same time, as long as their respective cooking tem-
peratures are the same. A maximum of 2 shelves can be
used at the same time, following the instructions in the
section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Shelf”. This
fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for dishes
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably
prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne,
pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover,
the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower
temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss
of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the
loss of weight for the roast. This mode is especially suited
for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of
a limited amount of condiment, thus maintaining their
flavour and appearance.
The Cooking Modes:
Convection
Position the temperature selector “H” between 50°C and
250°C.
The top and bottom heating elements are used. The heat is
distributed evenly from the top to the bottom. The convec-
tion oven is best for preparing meat-based dishes featuring
beef or veal which require slow cook and basting. It is the
best cooking mode for dry pastries and fruit in general.
When cooking in convection mode, only use one baking
tray or shelf at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will
be uneven. Select from among the various shelf positions
based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from
the top.
Baking
Bottom heating element
Position the temperature control “H”: between 50°C and
250°C.
By turning the function selector to this position, the bottom
heating element comes on. This is recommended for
finishing off the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is
well cooked on the surface but still soft inside.
Position the temperature control “H”: between 50°C and
250°C.
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing
delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This
mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods-
especially cakes that need to rise. Cooking is also possible
on both shelves. The oven heats up very quickly, so the
food to be cooked may be put in the oven as it is switched
on.
Minigrill heating element
Important: do not set the temperature selector 'H' over
200°C.
Fast defrosting
By turning the function selector to this position, the upper
heating element comes on. This is recommended for
finishing off the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is
already well cooked inside but needs browning.
Grill
This function uses no heating elements, just the fan.

Food is cooked in the grill by the downward thermal rays
produced by an incandescent electric cooking element. The
extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The
grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require
a high surface temperature: such as beef steaks, veal,
fillet steaks, hamburgers etc...

COOKING ADVICE
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following are only a guide, which
may be varied according to your own personal taste.
You used more than one shelf (in the fan assisted
oven mode) and they are not all at the same
cooking point.
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the shelves at the same time.
Preheating
Using the Grill
The Grill setting
If the food being cooked needs to go into a preheated oven
(this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods)
grills traditional foods perfectly (such
as toasted sandwiches, hotdogs etc.). The Fanned Grill
the 'fan assisted' mode
can be used to reach the
setting
is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as
desired temperature as quickly as possible. When
preheating is over, place food in the oven and select the
most appropriate cooking mode.
Cooking on More Than One Shelf
If you want to cook on more than one shelf at a time, use
the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown
the surface but also to cook the bottom part. This mode
can also be used for browning foods at the end of the
cooking process.
Important: always use the grill with the oven door
closed. This will allow you both to attain excellent results
and to save energy (approximately 10%). For best results
when using the grill, it is recommended to use the highest
temperature (200°C) (175°C for fanned grilling), the grill
pan should be placed on the higher shelf.
the “fan assisted” mode
When cooking food on several shelves keep the following
suggestions in mind:
.
•
The oven is fitted with 5 shelf positions. During fan
assisted cooking, use two of the three central shelf
positions; the lowest and highest shelves receive the
hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could
be burnt on these shelf positions.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1kg to prevent it from drying out.
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 150 °C to 200 °C. For red meat that should
be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the
inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature
setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven
down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower
the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of
the shelf and place the grill pan/baking tray beneath it to
catch the fat. Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it
is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase
the amount of heat from below, use the low shelf positions.
•
As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf position
from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require
greater heat on the 2nd shelf position from the bottom.
For example, when cooking meat roasts together with
other food, place the roast on the 2nd shelf position
from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th
shelf position from the bottom.
•
•
When cooking food that require differing times and
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere
between the two temperatures required, place the more
delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom
and take the food requiring less time out of the oven
first.
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan
assisted”mode:
Use the baking tray on the lower shelf position and the
shelf on the upper position.
•
•
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the shelf
supplied with the oven. If the baking tray is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make sure
you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly. Do not
open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from
dropping. In general, if:
•
•
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is
cooking.
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry has dropped
Cooling ventilation
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, it is fitted
with a cooling fan that comes on when the function selector
"G" is turned. In this case, the fan is always on and a
normal flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven
door and the control panel.
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
It is cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Note: when cooking is finished, the fan stays on until
the oven has cooled down sufficiently, even if the
function selector “G” is set to “0”.
Once you have removed the food from the oven, we rec-
ommend you leave the oven door ajar for a few minutes,
this will drastically reduce the duration of the cooling cycle.
The process is controlled by an additional thermostat and
can consist of one or more cycles.
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.

CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your
-

Voltage: 230/240 V
Power: 15W
Type E14
appliance, you must disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your appliance, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
•
Replace the glass cover and reconnect to the mains
electricity supply.
The hob:
•
•
•
•
The enamelled parts must be washed with warm water
without using any abrasive powders or corrosive sub-
stances which could cause damage.
The removeable parts of the burners should be washed
with warm soapy watermaking sure to remove caked
on substances.
The end of the electronic ignition device must be cleaned
carefully and frequently, making sure that the gas holes
are not clogged.
Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, rinse with water and dry thoroughly. Use a
specific non-abrasive product to remove tougher stains.
It is also recommended that any spills be cleared
immediately.
Disassembling/assembling the oven door
To make it easier to clean the inside of your oven, the oven
door can be removed, by proceeding as follows (fig. 3-4):
• Open the door completely and raise the 2 levers "B" (fig.
3);
• Now, shutting the door slightly, you can lift it out by pulling
out the hooks "A" as shown in figure 4.
To reassemble the door:
• With the door in a vertical position, insert the two hooks
"A" into the slots;
• Ensure that seat "D" is hooked perfectly onto the edge of
the slot (move the oven door backwards and forward
slightly);
• Keep the oven door open fully, unhook the 2 levers "B"
downwards and then shut the door again.
Inside the oven
We recommend you clean your oven each time you use
it, especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable
to prevent food residue from building up during cooking:
the residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is
used and would char and release smoke and unpleasant
odours.
Oven exterior
Clean the stainless steel exterior surfaces of your oven
using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making sure you
rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using abrasive or
corrosive products which could damage them.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the
oven.
fig 4
fig 3
To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may
be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We strongly
advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet in direct
contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and
damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly.
Oven rubber Seal
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which
guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of
this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it using
warm water and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so.
Should the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint
Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We
recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been
repaired.
Replacing the Oven Lamp
•
Disconnect from the mains
electricity supply and ensure
the appliance is cool.
•
•
Remove the glass cover of the
lamp-holder.
Remove the lamp and replace
with a lamp resistant to high
temperatures (300°C) with the
following characteristics:
11
Troubleshooting
Before calling service for assistance, check through the
following list, there may be nothing wrong.
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in
the gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the
gas valves for the mains are open.
If your oven releases alot of smoke during cooking.
Check to make sure that:
•
You have selected the correct cooking mode for the type
of food and the dish is in the correct recommended shelf
position.
•
•
The temperature is correct for the type of cooking
required.
The oven interior is clean. Food residue encrusted onto
the enamel coating inside the oven becomes charred
and creates both smoke and odours.
If the burner does not light or the flame is not uniform
around the burner.
Check to make sure that:
•
•
The gas holes on the burner are not clogged.
All of the movable parts that make up the burner are
mounted correctly.
•
Dish is placed onto baking tray, splashes of grease or
overflows onto very hot surfaces create smoke.
•
There are no draughts around the cooking surface.
If, despite all of these checks, the cooker does not function
properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see
KEY CONTACTS, back page), informing them of:
- The type of problem.
- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as
indicated on the warranty.
If the flame does not stay lit.
Check to make sure that:
•
•
You press the knob all the way in.
You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate
the flame failure device.
•
The gas holes are not clogged in the area corresponding
to the flame failure device.
IMPORTANT:
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the
manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are
not original.
If the burner does not remain on when set to "Low".
Check to make sure that:
•
•
The gas holes are not clogged.
There are no draughts near the cooking surface.
If the cookware is not stable.
Check to make sure that:
•
•
•
The bottom of the cookware is perfectly flat.
The cookware is centered correctly on the burner .
The support grids have not been inverted.

Directly to the outside
Kitchen ventilation
The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed
must equal the quantity of air that is required for regular
combustion of the gas and for ventilating the same room.
Air must enter naturally through permanent apertures made
in the outside walls of the room or through single or
branching collective ventilation ducts in compliance with
the norms. The air must be taken directly from the outside,
from an area far from sources of pollution. The ventilation
aperture must have the following characteristics (fig. 8A):
• total free cross section of passage of at least 6cm2² for
every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with
a minimum of 100cm2² (the heating capacity is indicated
on the rating plate);

Class 2 sub-class 1
The dimensions of the appliance are given in the figure on
page 5, 'KNOW YOUR COOKER'. For trouble-free operation
of appliances installed in furniture cabinets, the minimum
distances shown in fig. 5 should be observed. Adjacent
surfaces and the wall at the rear should also be able to
withstand a temperature rise of 65 °C.
• it must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on
the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;
• it must be protected, e.g. with grates, wire mesh, etc. in
such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not

Positioning
This appliance may only be installed and operated in
permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with the
regulations in force. The following requirements must be
observed:
The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room,
provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there
is a risk of fire, such as warehouses, garages, fuel stores,
etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the norms. The air
flow from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated
may pass freely through permanent apertures with a cross
section at least equal to that indicated above. These
apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap
between the door and the floor (fig. 8B). If an electric fan is
used for extracting the combustion products, the ventilation
aperture must be increased in relation to its maximum
performance. The electric fan should have a sufficient
capacity to guarantee an hourly exchange of air equal to 3
÷ 5 times the volume of the kitchen. Prolonged, intensive
use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, e.g. an
• The appliance must vent flue gases into a special hood,
which must be connected to a chimney, flue pipe or
directly to the outside (fig. 7).
• If it is impossible to fit a hood, the use of an electric fan
is permitted, either installed on a window or on an external
wall, which must be switched on at the same time as the
appliance.

increasing the extraction power of the electric fan if installed.
Liquid petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it is
heavier than air. Apertures in the outside walls in rooms
containing LPG cylinders should therefore be at floor level,
in order to allow any gas from leaks to be expelled. Do not
store LPG cylinders (even when empty) in basements or
rooms below ground level; it is advisable to keep only the
cylinder in use in the room at any one time and connected
far from heat sources which could raise its temperature to
above 50 °C.
Upon completion of installation, check for leaks from the
gas circuit using a soapy water solution (never use a
flame). Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate
for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the
burners are lit.
Adapting to different types of gas (instructions for the
hob)
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas from the factory-
set one (indicated on the rating plate at the top of the
hood or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should be
replaced as follows:
Gas connection for the gas hob
The hob should be connected to the gas supply by a CORGI
registered installer. During installation of this product it
is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the
supply from the appliance for the convenience of any
sebsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the
appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be carried
out according to the prescribed regulations in force, and
only after it has been ascertained that it is adaptable to
the type of gas to be used. If not, follow instructions
indicated in the paragraph headed, 'Adapting to different
types of gas'.
• Remove the pan supports and slide the burners off their
seats.
• Unscrew the nozzles (fig. 9, using a 7 mm socket spanner
and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas
(see table 1 "Burner and nozzle specifications").
• Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in
the reverse order.
• On completion of this operation, replace the old rating
label with the one indicating the new type of gas used.
This sticker is available from Hotpoint Service (see KEY
CONTACTS, back page).
In the case of connection to liquid gas, in a cylinder, a
pressure regulator, that conform to the regulations in
force, must be inserted.
Adjusting the primary air of the burners
The primary air of the burners does not need to be adjusted.
Adjusting the low flame
Important: for safety, for the correct regulation of gas
use and long life of the appliance, ensure that the gas
pressure conforms to the indications given in table 1,
'Burner and Nozzle Specifications'.
• Turn the tap to the low flame position;
• Remove the knob and turn the adjusting screw, situated
to the right of the tap (fig. 10) until you obtain a regular
small flame, using a screwdriver (loosening the screw
increases the height of the flame, tightening decreases
it).
Connection to non-flexible tube
(copper or steel)
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way
as to not create any stress points at any part of the
appliance. The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, 'L'
shaped connector and a gasket for the attachment to
the gas supply. Should this connector have to be turned,
the gasket must be replaced (supplied with the apliance).
The feeding connector of the gas to the appliance is
threaded 1/2" gas male cylinder.
N.B.: In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw
must be screwed in all the way.
Having obtained the low flame setting required and with
the burner lit, change the position of the knob several
times from minimum to maximum and vice versa and
check that the flame does not go out.
In appliances fitted with the safety device
(thermocouple), should the device fail to work with the
burners set to the low flame setting, increase the low
flame setting of the same on the adjusting screw.
•
•
Connection to flexible steel tube
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded,
male
1/2" connector for round gas pipe. Only use pipes and
sealing gaskets that conform to the standards currently
in force.
Once the adjustment has been made, remount the seals
on the by-passes using leak detection fluid.

sockets will support the maximum power of the
appliance, as indicated on the data plate. If in doubt,
consult a qualified technical engineer.
If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible,
have the socket replaced with a suitable model by a
qualified technical engineer. The latter, in particular, will
also have to ensure that the cross section of the socket
cables are suitable for the power absorbed by the
appliance. The use of adapters, multiple sockets and/or
extensions, is not recommended. If their use cannot be
avoided, remember to use only single or multiple
adapters and extensions which comply with current
safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed the
maximum current capacity indicated on the single
adapter or extension and the maximum power indicated
on the multiple adapter. The plug and socket must be
easily accessible.
