Hotpoint UQ891 manual SolarplusGrill

CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should be kept away.

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The solarplus grill is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the solarplus grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.

Notes

You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh.

This stops you from touching live parts.

DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could damage or break the element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an electric shock.

During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has cooled down before cleaning.
