Introduction to Hotpoint EG20,EG21 & EG22

To help make the best use of your Hotpoint cooking

equipment please read this booklet carefully.

Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting

service. This guarantee is only applicable if the

appliance has been installed in accordance with

the installation instructions detailed in this

booklet.

The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use

and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any

other installation.

When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted

by the oven lagging insulation – this should cease after

a short period of use. Ensure that the room is well ven-

tilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and

that any pets are removed from the room until the smell

has ceased.

For Your Safety

●Always make sure you remove all packing from inside the oven

and grill compartments before switching on for the first time.

●Always make sure you understand the controls prior to using

the appliance.

●Always keep children away from the appliance when grilling

as the surfaces will get extremely hot during and after use.

●Always check all controls on the cooker are turned off after use.

●Always stand back when opening an oven door to allow any

heat to disperse.

●

Always use dry good quality oven gloves when removing items

from the oven/grill.

●Always place pans centrally over the hob burners and position

them so that the handles cannot accidentally be caught or

knocked or become heated by other burners.

●

Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the

of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that

the kitchen is well ventilated; 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.

The hob has two high speed burners and two simmering burners

which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 200mm (8”)

diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.

The pan supports should be fitted on the hob such that the indents

along one side of each pan support are inner-most.

Using the Grill

Fig. A Fig. B Fig. C

CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE

GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL

DOOR CLOSED.

Open the grill chamber door fully.

Preheat the grill at setting 6 for approximately 5 minutes.

When toasting/grilling push the pan back to correctly position it under

the grill element.

Leave the control at 6 for toast, for sealing and fast cooking of foods.

For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower

setting after the initial sealing on both sides at 6. The thicker the food,

the lower the control should be set.

When grilling thicker food, the wire grid should be turned over to its

lowest setting.

Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot

grill, either in the grill pan or on the floor of the grill compartment,

according to the depth of the dish. (The grill pan wire grid can be

removed).

Do not line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

The grill pan handle is detachable so that the pan may also be used in

the oven as a meat pan. It is possible to fix the handle to the pan. To

do this remove the screw and washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt

the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it towards

the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket (C).

Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are fully tightened

up. For a detachable handle remove screw and washers from the grill

pan and discard.

Please note, if a fixed handle is required, grill pan cannot be used in

oven.

Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the grill compartment will be

heated when the oven is in use.

Do not operate the grill control when using the compartment as a

hotcupboard.
