Frequently Asked Questions - FA2 841 JH BL HA HOTPOINT

How do I set the time on my Hotpoint FA2 841 JH BL HA oven?

Press the ⏱ button until the indicator and the two hour digits flash. Use + or - to set the hour, then press √ to confirm. Set the minutes in the same way. If the ⚙ indicator flashes (after a power cut), repeat the operation.

Why does my oven emit an odor during first use?

This is normal: manufacturing residues burn off. To eliminate odors, heat the empty oven at 250 °C for about one hour. Ventilate the room after use.

How do I use the Diamond Clean cleaning function?

Pour 200 ml of drinking water into the bottom of the cold oven. Turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to the icon. The function starts automatically for 35 minutes. The display alternates between remaining time and "DC".

What should I do if the screen displays "F" followed by a number?

This indicates a software problem. Note the number after "F" and contact Hotpoint After-Sales Service.

Can I use delayed start with the Grill and Turbo Grill functions?

No, delayed start is not available for the Grill and Turbo Grill functions. You can program the cooking duration but not the delayed end time.

What is the recommended function for cooking pizzas?

Use the Pizza function. For best results, swap the position of the trays halfway through cooking. The temperature can vary between 190 and 250 °C depending on the recipe.

How do I install the sliding rails?

Hang the upper hooks of the grid supports, then press the lower part of the rail against the support until the lower hooks click into place. To remove, pull the lower part of the rail to unhook.

How do I turn off the oven after use?

Turn the selection knob to the 0 position. The residual heat indicator may stay on temporarily, but the oven is considered off.

What does the rising symbol on the oven mean?

The Rising symbol activates a special function to help sweet or savory doughs rise. Turn the thermostat knob to this symbol; if the oven is still hot, the function will not start.

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.

It is a good idea to swap the position of the baking plates halfway through cooking.

After cooking and with the function deactivated, the icon may continue to remain visible on the display even after the cooling fan has switched off to indicate that there is residual heat in the compartment.
