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 (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 and also
any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Please read the precautions below before using your cooker.
ALWAYS . . .
ALWAYS make sure you understand the controls before using the cooker.
ALWAYS check that all controls on the cooker are turned off after use.
ALWAYS stand back when opening an oven door to allow heat to disperse.
ALWAYS use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the ovens.
ALWAYS take care when removing items from the top oven/grill when the main
oven is on, as the contents may be hot.
ALWAYS keep the oven and grill doors closed when the cooker is not in use.
ALWAYS place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and position them so
that the handles cannot accidentally be caught or knocked or become
heated by other burners.
ALWAYS keep the cooker clean, as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can
cause a fire.
ALWAYS allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.
ALWAYS follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the
possibility of bacterial growth.
ALWAYS keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
ALWAYS turn off the electricity supply before cleaning or replacing the oven
lamp.
ALWAYS refer servicing to CORGI registered appliance service engineers.
4
FOR YOUR SAFETY
NEVER . . .
NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all surfaces
will get hot during and after use.
NEVER allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.
NEVER store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.
NEVER heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing
the container to burst.
NEVER store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the cooker,
or in cabinets immediately above or next to the cooker.
NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, or use a lid.
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
NEVER place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.
NEVER use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.
NEVER use the cooker as a room heater.
NEVER dry clothes or place other times over or near to the hotplate or oven/
grill doors.
NEVER wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well venti-
lated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for
example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled automatically. When the
timer control has been set for one oven it is possible to use the other oven
only on the same automatic cooking programme.
GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to
finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has
not cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally
straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be
thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.
4. Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a
delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should
be cooked as soon as possible.
5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example
Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a
delay period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the
delay period is kept to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie
poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay
period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
9. 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.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling
over.
11. 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.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
TIMER OPERATION
1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.
2. Check that the electricity supply to the cooker is turned On.
3. Check that the timer is set to the right time of day.
6

HOTPLATE
The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the
hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a
means of controlling the hotplate burners.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will
accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans
should be positioned centrally over the burners.
Simmering aids such as steel plates should not be used because they can cause
damage to the pan supports.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Check that the electricity supply is switched on.
2. Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise
to the large flame symbol. Press the ignition button until the spark lights
the gas.
3. 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.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise.
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 as a working surface.
RELIGHTING THE BURNER
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.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
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.
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.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
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.
12

13
GRILL
The following chart is a guide. 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 desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for
keeping food warm.
Shelf Position
Food
HIGH POSITION
Toast, pikelets/crumpets, bacon, thin sausages,
beefburgers, tomato halves, steak (rare and medium),
kippers, gammon, kidneys and toasted snacks.
CENTRE POSITION
LOW POSITION
Toast, toasted snacks, thick sausages, beefburgers,
fish fingers, steak (well done) and gammon, chops (with
heat turned down for part of cooking time).
Whole fish, fish fillets and fish steaks (on base of pan).
Chicken portions (with heat turned down for part of
cooking time).
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.
REMOVE HEAT SHIELD
FROM SHELF WHEN
GRILLING FOR MAXIMUM
GRILLING AREA.
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.
If necessary tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver.
14
MAIN 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 provide six possible cooking levels enabling full use of the
different 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 baking dish and grill pan without the handle can be used in the oven. The
maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 350mm (12” x 14”).
TO USE THE MAIN OVEN
1. Check that the electricity supply is switched on and the timer is set to
manual mode.
2. Place oven shelves in the chosen positions (refer to cooking charts).
3. Push in and turn the oven control knob fully anti-clockwise. Sparking
will continue until the burner is lit.
4. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting (refer to
cooking chart). There is a delay of about one minute whilst the safety
device operates before the burner comes on full.
5. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol G.
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.
15
MAIN OVEN
COLD START COOKING
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 at the
gas mark you require for cooking.
ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY
The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5kg
(25 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 re-heating.
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.

18
THE ‘E’ SETTING
The ‘E’ setting on the main oven thermostat is used for slow cooking, keeping
food warm and warming plates for short periods.
USING THE ‘E’ SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING
1. All dishes cooked by the ‘E’ 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.
2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk. 6 for 30 minutes
before turning to the ‘E’ setting and never be cooked lower than the
middle shelf position.
3. Joints of meat over 6 lbs (2.7kg) and poultry over 4 lbs 8oz (2 kg)
should not be cooked using the ‘E’ setting.
4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin to allow good
air circulation.
5. A meat thermometer should be used when cooking pork joints and
poultry. The internal temperature of the food should reach at least 88oC.
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.
19
TOP OVEN
The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction
with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear. The shield can be
removed for cleaning and grilling, but must be replaced when using the oven.
The shelf can be used in three different positions. It has a safety stop to prevent
it from being pulled out too far when attending to food. The shelf is removed from
the oven by pulling it out to the stop and then lifting at the front to withdraw.
The baking dish and grill pan without the handle can be used in the oven. The
maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 350mm (12” x 14”).
TO USE THE TOP OVEN
1. Check that the electricity is switched on and that the timer is set in
manual mode.
2. Check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.
3. Place the top oven shelf in the chosen position. (refer to cooking chart).
4. Push in and turn the top oven/grill control knob fully anti-clockwise.
Sparking will continue until the burner has lit.
5. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting. (refer to cooking
chart).
6. There is a delay of about one minute whilst the safety device operates
before the burner comes on full.
7. To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the symbol G.
NOTE: It is normal for a slight resistance to be felt to be felt when turning
the control knob to the oven settings.
GUIDANCE ON USING THE TOP OVEN
1. Best results are obtained by pre-heating the oven for about 15 minutes.
2. The tray or dish on which the food is to be cooked, should be pushed
to the back of the shelf.
3. Food which is higher than or will rise above 125mm (5”) cannot be
cooked in the top oven.
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.

CARE AND CLEANING
Switch off the electricity supply and allow to cool before cleaning the
cooker.
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.
Before moving your cooker ensure that it is cool and note that it is heavy
(approximately 70 kg 155 lbs), so you may require assistance. To move the
cooker forward, open the top oven/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.
MAIN OVEN HEAT CLEAN LININGS
The oven back and 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.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the linings with water, but if
desired, wipe them over with a soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a
damp clean cloth.
REPLACEMENT OF OVEN LIGHT BULB
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE LAMP
Light bulbs are not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.
A new 25W, 300oC rated SES bulb can be obtained from your cooker supplied or
any major electrical retailer.
1. Remove the shelves from the oven.
2. Unscrew the lens using a thick cloth to protect your fingers in the
unlikely event of a lens fracture.
3. Unscrew bulb.
4. Fit new bulb and refit lens.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
CONNECT TO A 230-240V A.C. SUPPLY ONLY.
Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily
accessible wall socket which is adjacent to, and not more than 1.25m away from the
appliance and capable of electrical isolation.
The mains lead should be routed such that it cannot touch hot parts of the cooker i.e. the
back panel above a height of 650mm from the floor; the main oven burner bracket under
the plinth
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced
with a suitable plug as outlined below.
NOTE: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be
properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply
socket – with the obvious consequent danger.
IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED
The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below to a three pin plug of not
less than 13 amp capacity. If a B.S. 1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a 3 amp
fuse which is approved to B.S. 1362.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The wire
which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the plug, ensure
that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the
mains lead clamp on the plug. As the appliance must be earthed, do not use 2-pin
sockets outlets, if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be
carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the
same size i.e. 0.75mm2 cross sectional area and temperature rating of 850 C e.g. heat
resisting PVC.
IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied a 3 amp ASTA approved fuse to
BS1362 must be fitted.
NOTE: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the
fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained
and fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your local Electricity Board. The colour
of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base
of the plug.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION AND 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 hotplate burner caps, pan supports and shelf shield(s) 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 main 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 ‘E’ setting that the flame reduces.
3. Check that with the top oven set to mark 8, 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 mark 1 that the flame reduces.
4. Check the operation of the oven timer and oven light.
Instruct the user on operation of the cooker.
NOTE: It is normal for a slight resistance to be felt when turning the Top Oven/
Grill control to the oven settings, as the control operates a flap at the rear of the
cooker.

years. Service Cover also includes loss of food, up

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.
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.

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.
Appliance Registration

from any of the above Service Schemes and other

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 order hotline (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.
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.
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.
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.

For future reference please attach your purchase
receipt to this booklet and keep it in a safe place.

Spares accessories order hotline (see back page),

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.
