Care and Cleaning
Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off
the main switch before all operations.
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 enamelled or 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.
Stainless steel
Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using
a soft cloth. Use a specific non-abrasive product to remove
tougher stains,
DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the
oven.
To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you must
never 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.
Cleaning the rotisserie and other accessories
The rotisserie can be removed completely using the 2 wing
nuts. The elements comprising the rotisserie assembly
should be cleaned together with the other accessories
(baking tray, shelf) in the sink using a damp sponge and
ordinary detergent or in your dishwasher.
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.

Disassembling the oven door
The oven door can easily be removed to clean the space
between the bottom of the door and the front of the oven. To
disassemble the door, proceed as follows:
- open the oven door fully,
- lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,
- shut the door, but not completely,
- grip the door on the two external sides and pull it towards
you, pulling it out of its seat.
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures
in reverse order.

Replacing the oven lamp
- Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch
off the main switch before all operations.
- With the aid of a narrow, flat item (such as a screwdriver
or a spoon handle, etc…), remove the glass cover.
- Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another featuring
the same characteristics:
- voltage 230/240 W
- wattage 25 W
- type E 14
- Replace the glass cover and ensure you reposition the
seal correctly.
