Frequently Asked Questions - HOI6A8PT1SBUK HOTPOINT

How do I set the current time on the oven?

Press the timer button, then use +/- to adjust hours and minutes. Confirm by holding the button for a few seconds. The time is essential for programmable cooking.

How can I preheat the oven?

Select the desired cooking function with the function selector, then set the temperature using the thermostat knob. Wait until the thermostat light goes off; the oven has reached the set temperature. For most baking, preheating is recommended.

What is pyrolytic cleaning and how do I use it?

Pyrolytic cleaning uses a very high temperature (approx. 500°C) to burn off food residues. Select the pyrolytic cycle, close the oven door, and lock it if required. The oven will heat and turn residues to ash. After cooling, wipe the ash with a damp cloth. Remove all accessories before starting.

How do I replace the oven light?

Disconnect the oven from the power supply, remove the glass cover by turning it counterclockwise, replace the halogen bulb with the same type (25 W, G9), and refit the cover.

Why does the cooling fan continue to run after I switch off the oven?

The cooling fan runs until the oven temperature drops to a safe level. This is normal and helps protect the surrounding cabinets. It can take a few minutes.

Can I use aluminum foil inside the oven?

You can use foil to cover trays, but avoid contact with the heating elements and do not cover the oven floor, as this may affect heat distribution and cause damage.

How do I disable the child lock?

Press and hold the child lock button for 3 seconds until the key symbol disappears. The child lock prevents unintended use of the oven controls.

What do I do if the oven does not heat up?

Check the power supply, fuse, and make sure the timer is not in the 'switch on/off' position. If the problem persists, contact the Hotpoint service for repairs.

How do I clean the glass door?

Use a damp soapy cloth or a special glass cleaner. For stubborn residues, you can use a razor blade scraper at a 45° angle. Do not use abrasive pads.

Can I use all functions for frozen food?

The defrost function is specifically for frozen food. Other functions may cook frozen food, but you'll need to extend cooking time and preheat as required. Always check food is cooked thoroughly.

FUNCTIONS

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

FORCED AIR

For cooking different foods that require the same cooking temperature on several shelves (maximum three) at the same time. This function can be used to cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to another.

STEAM + AIR

Combining the properties of steam with those of the forced air, this function allows you to cook dishes pleasantly crispy and browned outside, but at the same time tender and succulent inside. To achieve the best cooking results, we recommend to select a LEVEL 3 steam for fish cooking, LEVEL 2 steam for meat and LEVEL 1 for bread and desserts. For more information on Steam + Air manual cooking cycles head to the "Steam + Air" Cooking Table.

MY MENU

These allow a fully automatic cooking for all types of food (Lasagna, Meat, Fish, Vegetables, Cakes & Pastries, Salt cakes, Bread, Pizza). To get the best from this function, follow the indications on the relative cooking table.

TRADITIONAL FUNCTIONS

- CONVECT BAKE

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

- MULTIFLOW MENU

For cooking different foods that require the same cooking temperature on four levels at the same time. This function can be used to cook cookies, cakes, round pizzas (also frozen) and to prepare a complete meal. Follow the cooking table to obtain the best results.

- 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 500 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 pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.

• FROZEN BAKE

The function automatically selects the ideal cooking temperature and mode for 5 different types of ready frozen food. The oven does not have to be preheated.

• SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

» PIZZA

This function allows you to cook great homemade pizza, in less than 10 minutes like in a restaurant.

This function allows you to cook great homemade pizza, in less than 10 minutes like in a restaurant.

The dedicated cooking cycle works at temperature level above 300 degree Celsius, delivering pizza soft inside, crunchy on the edges and with a perfectly even browning. Combining this function with the Pizza Stone WPro accessory and preheating for 30 minutes can bake a pizza in 5-8 min. (For orders and information contact the after sales service or www.hotpoint.eu.)

» RISING

For optimal proving of sweet or savoury dough. To maintain the quality of proving, do not activate the function if the oven is still hot following a cooking cycle.

» KEEP WARM

For keeping just-cooked food hot and crisp.

» DEFROST

To speed up defrosting of food. Place food on the middle shelf. Leave food in its packaging to prevent it from drying out on the outside.

» ECO CYCLE *

For cooking stuffed roasting joints and fillets of meat on a single shelf. When this Eco Cycle is in use, the light will remain switched off during cooking. To use the Eco Cycle and therefore optimise power consumption, the oven door should not be opened until the food is completely cooked.

» MAXI COOKING

The function automatically selects the best cooking mode and temperature to cook large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg). It is advisable to turn the meat over during cooking, to obtain even browning on both sides. It is best to baste the meat every now and again to prevent it from drying out.

» SLOW COOKING

To gently cook meat and fish. This function cooks food slowly to keep it tender and succulent. Due to the low temperature, the food does not brown on the outside and the end result is similar to steam cooking. We recommend searing roast meat in a pan first to brown the meat and help seal in its natural juices. For best results, keep the oven door closed during cooking in order to avoid heat dispersion. Suggested cooking times ranges for fish (300 g - 3 kg) are between 2-5 hours, for

meat (1-3 kg) between 4-7 hours.

AIR FRY

This function allows you to cook French fries, chicken nuggets and more using less oil, resulting pleasantly crispy. Heating elements cycle to properly heat the cavity, while the fan circulates hot air. Best expected cooking results can be achieved only by using an Air Fry tray (provided with some models). Position the food on the Air Fry tray in a single layer and follow Air Fry Cooking Table instructions for best performances. Avoid using more than one tray to prevent uneven cooking.

FAST PREHEAT

For preheating the oven quickly.

MINUTE-MINDER

For keeping time without activating a function.

CLEANING

• PYRO

For eliminating cooking spatters using a cycle at very high temperature. Two selfcleaning cycles are available: A complete cycle (Pyro) and a shorter cycle (Pyro Eco). We recommend using the quicker cycle at regular intervals and the complete cycle only when the oven is heavily soiled.

• DIAMOND CLEAN

The action of the steam released during this special low-temperature cleaning cycle allows dirt and food residues to be removed with ease. Pour 200 ml of drinking water on the bottom of the oven and only activate the function when the oven is cold.

- DESCALE

For removing limescale deposits from the boiler. We recommend using this function at regular intervals. If you do not, a message will appear on the display reminding you to clean the oven.

9. DRAIN

The drain function allows the water to be drained in order to prevent stagnation in the boiler. This product has been developed in order to automatically run a drain cycle once cooking has been stopped/has ended.

Approximately 30min after the stop/end of cooking, the oven will automatically drain the system, moving the residual water in the drawer (be careful not to remove the drawer after cooking). Once done, the drawer can be extracted and emptied. We recommend emptying the drawer as soon as the drain is completed.

10. DESCALE

This special function, activated at regular intervals, allows you to keep the steam system in the best condition. Once the function is started, follow all the steps indicated on the display. The average duration of the full function is around 140 minutes.

DESCALE MESSAGE MEANING
	It is recommended to run a Descale cycle.
	Descale is mandatory. It is not possible to run a Steam cycle until a Descale cycle will be carried out.

*considering the default value (4 - Hard) of water hardness level. The number of hours of steam cycles that must pass before the Decale messages are shown depends on the water hardness level set on the appliance.

The descaling procedure can also be performed whenever the user desires a deeper cleaning of the internal steam circuit.

Before to run the descaling phase, the appliance will check if some residual water is contained into the boiler, and a Drain cycle could be performed, if needed. In this case, you will have to empty the drawer after the Drain cycle, before continuing with the Descale Phase.

Please note: to ensure that the water is cold, it is not possible to perform this activity before 30 minutes have elapsed from the last cycle (or the last time the product was powered). During this waiting time, the display will show the following feedback "WATER IS HOT".

» PHASE 1/2: DESCALING (70 MIN)

When display will show , please pour the descaling solution in the drawer. For best results in descaling, we recommend filling the tank with a solution composed of 75 g of the specific WPRO product and 250 ml of drinking water. WPRO descaler is the suggested professional product for the maintenance of the best performance of your steam function in the oven. For orders and information contact the after sales service or www.hotpoint.eu.

Bauknecht will not be held responsible for any damage caused by the use of other cleaning products available on the market.

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, 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 different foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.

MEAT

Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the size of the piece of meat being cooked. For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to the bottom of the dish, basting the meat during cooking for added flavour. Please note that steam will be generated during this operation. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium foil.

When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick pieces of meat require longer cooking times. To prevent the meat from burning on the outside, lower the position of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther away from the grill. Turn the meat two thirds of the way through cooking. Take care when opening the door as steam will escape.

To collect the cooking juices, we recommend placing a dripping pan filled with half a litre of drinking water directly underneath the wire shelf on which the food is placed. Top-up when necessary.

DESSERTS

Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only.

Use dark-coloured metal baking pans and always place them on the wire shelf supplied. To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and stagger the position of the cake tins on the shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the hot air.

To check whether a leavened cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.

If using non-stick baking pans, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.

If the item "swells" during baking, use a lower temperature next time and consider reducing the amount of liquid you add or stirring the mixture more gently.

For desserts with moist fillings or toppings (such as cheesecake or fruit tarts), use the "Convection bake" function. If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the filling.

RISING

It is always best to cover the dough with a damp cloth before placing it in the oven. Dough proving time with this function is reduced by approximately one third compared to proving at room temperature (20-25°C). The rising time for pizza starts at around one hour for 1 kg of dough.

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook different types of food.

Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required).

Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used.

Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings.

Use the accessories supplied and preferably darkcoloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

Do not use steam cleaners.

Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

Wear protective gloves.

The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

INTERIOR SURFACES

• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, leave the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
- Activate the "Diamond Clean" function for optimum cleaning of the internal surfaces. (Only in some models).
- Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
- The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning.

ACCESSORIES

Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.

Do not clean Food Probe and Meat Probe (if present) in the dishwasher.

Air Fry tray (if present) can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

WATER DRAWER MAINTENANCE

Caution: The water drawer is not suitable for dishwasher use: risk of damage!

At the end of each cooking cycle with steam, after about 30 min the oven automatically performs a drain cycle lasting about one minute, thus transferring all the water in the system to the extractable drawer.

Note: Avoid to leave the water in the system more than 2 days.

In order to completely remove the water inside or clean the internal surfaces, you can open the water drawer:

1. Push towards the top the back flap to remove the water drawer top cover.

2. Once the cleaning is done, you can close the drawer by inserting the two front flaps inside the front openings and pushing down the back side.

Use only room temperature water when filling the water drawer: hot water may affect the operation of the steam system. Use only drinking water.

BOILER

To ensure that the oven always works at optimum performance and to help prevent the build-up of limescale deposits over time, we recommend using the "Descale" function regularly. After a long period of non-use of the "Steam" functions, it is highly suggested to activate a cooking cycle with the empty oven by filling completely the tank.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR

1. To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position.

1. Close the door as much as you can.

Take a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the handle.

Simply remove the door by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards at the same time until it is released from its seating. Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.

1. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating.

2. Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position: Make sure that you lower them down completely.

Apply gentle pressure to check that the catches are in the correct position.

1. Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above: The door could become damaged if it does not work properly.

REPLACING THE LAMP

1. Disconnect the oven from the power supply.

2. Unscrew the cover from the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light.

3. Reconnect the oven to the power supply.

Please note: 40 W/230 \~ V type G9, T300°C halogen bulbs.

The bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home. (EC Regulation 244/2009) Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service.

If using halogen bulbs, do not handle them with your bare hands as your fingerprints could cause damage. Do not use the oven until the light cover has been refitted.
