PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
• This appliance is intended to be
used in household and similar
applications such as :
-Staffkitchenareasinshops,ofces
and other working environments;
- Farm houses;
- By clients in hotels, motels and
other residential environments;
- Bed and breakfast type envi-
ronments.
No other use is permitted (e.g. hea-
ting rooms).
• The appliance should not be operated without
food in the oven when using microwaves. Ope-
ration in this manner is likely to damage the ap-
pliance.
33
en
hotpoint.co.uk

• The ventilation openings on the oven must not
be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust
vents may cause damage to the oven and poor
cooking results.
• If you practice operating the oven, put a glass
of water inside. The water will absorb the micro-
wave energy and the oven will not be damaged.
• Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not use this product near a kitchen sink, in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or
similar.
• Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in the oven.
DEEP-FRYING
• Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying,
because the oil temperature cannot be control-
led.
• Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns,
when touching containers, oven parts, and pan
after cooking. Accessible parts may become hot
during use, young children should be kept away.
LIQUIDS
• e.g. beverages or water.
Overheating the liquid beyond
boiling point can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could
result in a sudden boil over of
the hot liquid.
• To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in
the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully remo-
ving the container from the oven.
• After heating baby food or li-
quids in a baby bottle or in a
baby food jar, always stir and
check the temperature before
serving. This will ensure that the
heat is evenly distributed and
the risk of scalding or burns can
be avoided.
• Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before
heating!
ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
There are a number of accessories
available on the market. Before you
buy, ensure they are suitable for mi-
crowave use.
Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof and al-
low microwaves to pass through them before cooking.
When you put food and accessories in the microwave
oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the
interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of
metal or metal parts.
If accessories containing metal comes in contact with
the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, spar-
king can occur and the oven could be damaged.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn freely
before starting the oven. If the turntable isn’t able to
turn freely you should use a smaller vessel.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Use the turntable support under the
Glass turntable. Never put any other
utensils on the turntable support.
•
Fit the turntable support in the
oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
Use the Glass turntable with all
cooking methods. It collects the
dripping juices and food particles that
otherwise would stain and soil the
interior of the oven.
• Place the Glass turntable on the turntable
support.
WIRE RACK
Use the Wire Rack when cooking with
Grill or Combi grill.
CRISP PLATE
Place the food directly on the Crisp
Plate. The Crisp Plate may be
preheated before use (max. 3 min.).
Always use the Glass Turntable as support
when using the Crisp Plate.
Do not place any utensils on the Crisp Plate since
it will quickly become very hot and is likely to cause
damage to the utensil.

en
hotpoint.co.uk

CRISP HANDLE
Use the Crisp Handle to remove the hot
Crisp Plate from the oven.
PLATE COVER (accessory sold separa-
tely)
The Cover is used to cover food during cooking and re-
heating with microwaves only and helps to
reduce spattering, retain food moisture
as well as reducing the time needed.
Use the cover for two level reheating.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.
It must be carried out with the microwave oven di-
sconnected.
Failure to maintain the oven in a
clean condition could lead to dete-
rioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the ap-
pliance and possibly result in a ha-
zardous situation.
Do not use metal scouring pads,
abrasive cleansers, steel-wool
pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which
can damage the control panel, and
the interior and exterior oven sur-
faces. Use a cloth with a mild de-
tergent or a paper towel with spray
glass cleaner. Apply spray glass
cleaner to a paper towel.
Do not spray directly on the oven.
At regular intervals, especially if spill
overs have occurred, remove the
turntable, the turntable support and
wipe the base of the oven clean.
This oven is designed to operate with the turntable
in place.
Do not operate the microwave oven when the turnta-
ble has been removed for cleaning.
Use a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent to cle-
an the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and
the door opening.
Do not allow grease or food particles to build up
around the door.
For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in the oven for
2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks.
Adding some lemon juice to a cup of water, placing
this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can
eliminate odors inside the oven.
Do not use steam cleaning appliances when cleaning
your microwave oven.
The oven should be cleaned regu-
larly and any food deposits removed.
The ceiling beneath it may need regular cleaning. This
should be done with a soft and damp cloth with mild
detergent.

• Arrange the thicker, denser food to the center
of the plate and the thinner or less dense food
the outside of the plate. Place thin slices of meat on top
of each other or interlace them.
• For food not listed in this table and if the weight
is less or more than recommended weight, you
should choose manual function with lower micro-
wave power (like microwave 160W).
• Due to food variability, the cooking duration is set on
an average shape, we always recommend to check
the internal doneness of food and in case prolong the
cooking time to achieve proper doneness.
• Waiting 1-2 minutes before serving the reheated food
will improve the results, especially for frozen food.
• Plastic foil should be scored or pricked with a fork, to
relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, as steam
builds-up during cooking.
• Place food onto a microwave safe and heatproof din-
ner plate or dish.
In order to achieve the best possible results the
product will ask you to turn/stir the food when nee-
ded. See “Add / Stir/ Turn food” chapter on page 7.
