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.
- fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This
only lowers the temperature or the oil or fat too much,
resulting in greasy food.
- use misshapen pans which may be unstable.
- use round base woks directly on the gas pan supports.
- use fish kettles or large preserving pans across two gas
burners.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN
FIRE:
- operate the appliance when barefoot.
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".
Off
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.
High flame
Low flame
The symbols near the knobs indicate the position of each
burner on the hob.
The burners are fitted with a flame failure device. This device
interrupts the gas supply should the burner flame go out
during operation.

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.
D. Triple ring
24 - 26
• 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 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.
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.
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
“Fast cooking” Mode
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' situated on the control panel:
Position the temperature control “H”: between 40°C and Max.
All the heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing
constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed
food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for
example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few “home-
made” dishes.
The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking” mode
are obtained if you use one cooking shelf only (the second
from the bottom), please see the “Cooking Chart”.
Interior light
By turning the function selecto to
the interior light is
switched on and allows you to observe the food in the oven
without having to open the door.
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.
Multi-cooking Mode
Position the temperature control “H”: between 40°C and Max.
All 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 temperatures
are the same.
The Cooking Modes:
The grill
Position the temperature control “H” between 40°C and Max.
Your oven is equipped with an electric grill. 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 tempera-
ture on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
filets, hamburgers etc...
The grill is controlled by a thermostatic device that regulates
its operation.
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be
kept shut.
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 Multi-cooking mode is particularly recommended for
dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring consid-
erably 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. The Multi-cooking 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.
Convection
Position the temperature control “H” between 40°C and Max.
The top and bottom heating elements are used. In this mode,
the coolest part of the oven is the centre. The convection
oven is best for cooking dishes made up of several ingre-
dients, e.g. tender veal strips with rice, braised meats,
stews, goulash etc.) and dishes that need to cook slowly
and require basting or the addition of liquid and cooking
using covered casserole dishes for oven baking. When
cooking in convection mode, only use one baking tray or
shelf at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be un-
even. Using the different shelf position available, you can
balance the amount of heat between the top and the bot-
tom of the oven. Select from among the various shelf
positions based on whether the dish needs more or less
heat from the top.
The Multi-cooking mode is also perfect for baking leavened
cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white
or red meat and bread by setting the temperature control to
80 °C. Defrosting - this mode can be used to thaw more delicate foods,
set the temperature control to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation
feature by setting the temperature control to 0°C.
Pizza Mode
Position the temperature control “H”: between 40°C and Max.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan,
will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven due to
the large amounts of power used by the appliance (2800 W),
which results in the production of considerable heat coming
mostly from the bottom.
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures
to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one baking
tray or shelf at a time. However, if more than one is used,
these must be switched halfway through the cooking process.
Refer to the 'Cooking Advice' section.
Baking
Position the temperature control “H”: between 40°C and
Max.
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 - and for the preparation
of certain tartlets on more than one shelf at the same time.
Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury
biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of
vegetables au gratin, etc…..
Fan grilling
The fan grilling is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly,
as 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.

COOKING ADVICE
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows
The pastry sticks to the pan
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.
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
You used more than one shelf (in the fan assisted
oven mode) and they are not all at the same
cooking point.
Cooking on More Than One Shelf
If you have to cook food on several shelves, use either the
“baking” mode
or the
“Multi-cooking” mode, as
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the shelves at the same time.
these are the only modes that allow you to do so.

Some examples are included in the “Cooking Chart”.
When cooking other food on several shelves, use the “Multi-
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
cooking” mode
keeping the following suggestions in
mind:
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.
•
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 using these 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 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.
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use setting
for “
Pizza Mode”:
•
•
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.
•
•
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;
•
•
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.
Use the baking tray on the lower shelf position and the
shelf on the upper position.
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:
•
If cooking on more than one shelf (up to 2), we advise
you to use the Multi-cooking Mode
as the Pizza Mode
would heat the bottom shelf more than the others.
Pastry is too dry
Cooling ventilation
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
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.
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”.
Pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
In "Fast cooking" mode, the fan comes on automatically
only when the oven is hot.
It is cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
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 appliance is cool.
appliance, you must disconnect it from the power supply.
•
•
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:
To extend the life of your appliance, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
The hob:
-
-
-
Voltage: 230/240 V
Power: 15W
Type E14
•
•
•
•
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 water, making 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.
•
Replace the glass cover and
reconnect to the mains elec-
tricity supply.
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.
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.
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);
Oven exterior
• Keep the oven door open fully, unhook the 2 levers "B"
downwards and then shut the door again.
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.
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.
fig 3
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.
fig 4

Troubleshooting
If your oven releases alot of smoke during cooking.
Check to make sure that:
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.
•
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 the flame does not stay lit.
Check to make sure that:
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.
•
•
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.
If the burner does not remain on when set to "Low".
Check to make sure that:
IMPORTANT:
•
•
•
The gas holes are not clogged.
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the
manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are
not original.
There are no draughts near the cooking surface.
The minimum has been adjusted correctly (see
Installation section, "Minimum Regulation").
If the cookware is not stable.
Check to make sure that:
•

INSTALLATION
The following instructions are provided for qualified installers
fig.7
so that they may carry out installation, adjustment and
technical maintenance operations correctly and in
compliance with the applicable norms in force.
Important: Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
and gas supply before performing any maintenance or
repair.
The cooker has the following technical specifications:
- Cat. II2H3+
In a chimney stack or branched flue
(reserved for cooking appliances
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 6 cm² for
every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with
a minimum of 100 cm² (the heating capacity is indicated
on the rating plate);
Class 1
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.
fig.5
• 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
reduced;
min. 100mm
• it must be situated as near to floor level as possible.
Detail A
Adjacent Room to be
room ventilated
fig.6
Prior to installing the cooker, the 95 - 155 mm high
supporting feet (provided) should be fitted into the holes to
be underneath the cooker (fig. 6). These feet are screw-
adjustable and whenever necessary should be used to make
sure the cooker is level.
A
Examples of ventilation
holes for comburant air
Enlarging the ventilation slot
between window and floor
Positioning
This appliance may only be installed and operated in
permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with the
regulation s in force. The following requirements must be
observed:
fig. 8A
fig.8B
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,
• 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.
13
INSTALLATION
e.g. an open window or a more efficient ventilation system
Check the seal
by 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
• Remove the pan supports and slide the burners off their
seats.
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
subsequent 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'.
• 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.
A
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'.
fig.9
Adjusting the primary air of the burners
The primary air of the burners does not need to be adjusted.
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.
Adjusting the low flame
• 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).
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.
•
•
it should be as short as possible, with a maximum length
of 1.5 metres;
•
•
it should not be bent or kinked;
Once the adjustment has been made, remount the seals on
the by-passes using leak detection fluid.
it should not be in contact with the rear panel of the
appliance or in any case with parts which may reach a
temperature of 50°;
•
•
•
•
it should not pass through holes or slits used for dis-
charging the oven flue gases;
it should not come into contact with pointed parts or
sharp corners;
it should be easy to inspect along its entire length in
order to be able to check its condition;
it should be replaced before the date printed on the
actual pipe.
