CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

(maximum three) at the same time. This function can
be used to cook dierent foods without odours being
transferred from one food to another.
MAXI COOKING

We recommend turning the meat over during
cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We
also recommend basting the joint every so often to
prevent it from drying out excessively.

bread. It is a good idea to swap the position of
the baking trays halway though cooking.
GRILL
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages,
cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread.
When grilling meat, we recommend using a drip tray
to collect the cooking juices: Position the tray on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of
drinking water.
TURBO GRILL
For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast
beef, chicken). We recommend using a drip tray
to collect the cooking juices: Position the tray on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of

eectively. Turn the thermostat knob to the

USEFUL TIPS Download the Use and Care Guide from docs.hotpoint.eu for more information
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table indicates the best function to use for any
given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the
same time. Cooking times start from the moment food
is placed in the oven, excluding pre-heating (where
required). Cooking temperatures and times are purely
for guidance and will depend on the amount of food
and type of accessory used. Please use the lowest
recommended settings to begin with and, if the food
is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings.
Please use the accessories supplied and preferably
dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You
can also use Pyrex pans and accessories or ones made
from china, but bear in mind that cooking times will be
slightly longer.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
Using the “Forced Air” function, you can cook dierent
foods which require the same cooking temperature at
the same time (for example: sh and vegetables), using
dierent shelves. Remove the food which requires a
shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires
a longer cooking time in the oven.
BREAD AUTO FUNCTION
For best results you should carefully follow the
instructions, using the recipe for mixing 1000 g of
dough: 600 g of our, 360 g of water, 11 g of salt, 25 g of
fresh yeast (or two packets of yeast powder).
For optimal rising, allow about 90 minutes at room
temperature or 60 minutes in the oven using the
“Rising” function.
Put the dough into the (cold) oven, pour 100 cc of
cold drinking water on to the bottom of the oven and
activate the “Bread Auto” function. After cooking, leave
the dough to stand on a wire shelf until completely
cooled.
