Hotpoint ST87X Controls, Setting the digital clock, Oven light, Cooking without the Programmer

The Controls

The 7 Chefs oven combines the advantages of a convec- tion oven with those of fan assisted models in a single ap- pliance.

It is extremely versatile allowing you to choose easily and safely between 7 different cooking modes. The various fea- tures offered by the oven are selected by means of the func- tion selector “B” situated on the control panel.

Setting the digital clock

The time can only be set on the clock when the function selector “B” is in position 0.

After the appliance has been connected to the power sup- ply, or after a power failure, the clock display will automati- cally reset to 0:00 and begin to blink. 0.00.

Press button s or t to increase or decrease the time. Upon releasing these buttons, the time set will be memo- rised, but you still have another 3 seconds to continue your modification.

Any changes to the time can be made by pressing button

rand holding it down, until the time appears back on the

display and then pressing button s or t. Upon releas- ing these buttons, the time set will be memorised, and you still have another 3 seconds to continue your modification.

The oven light

Set the function selector “B” to the 8 symbol to turn it on. It lights the oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating elements in the oven come on.

Please remember that once cooking is over, the oven light will stay on until the function selector “B” is set back to posi- tion 0 or until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Cooking without the Programmer

When function selector “B” is in position 0, temperature con- trol “C” and buttons o, p, q and t are disabled. Set the function selector “B” to the desired cooking mode and the recommended cooking temperature will appear on the display (which is independent from the position of the temperature control “C” ).

If the value offered is not the one you require, you can change the temperature, 10° at a time, by turning the temperature control “C”.

Each cooking mode is also associated with a recommended cooking time, which can be decreased down to 2 min or

increased up to 9h59min, by pressing the p button, fol-

lowed by s and/or t. Upon releasing button o or , the cooking time set will be memorised, but you still have another 3 seconds to continue your modification.

Keep in mind that, in the case of non programmed cooking, the set cooking time does not include the time required for the oven to heat up to the appropriate temperature.

Notice: the cooking start will automatically be postponed by 2 minutes when you press the q button. To cancel this setting, set the function control “B” back to position 0.

To start cooking, press the o: button. for safety reasons, if you fail to do the above within one minute after you have set the function control “B”, the word -END will come up on the display and the buttons will be disabled. To enable the buttons again, just set the function control “B” back to posi- tion 0.

Once cooking has started, the oven begins the pre-heating phase, during which icon m flashes on the display and the cooking temperature set comes up too.

When it is reached, you will hear three consecutive beeps and icon mwill come on permanently. Now you can place the food to be cooked inside the pre-heated oven.

Note: The pre-heating phase is not foreseen for the FAST COOKING and GRILL modes, and the oven will

consequently start cooking immediately after button o is pressed.

Please remember that when cooking is under way, you can always:

•modify the cooking mode (by turning the function control “B”) without this affecting the temperature and cooking time set;

•Check the selected temperature by pressing button t.

•modify the temperature (by turning the temperature control “C”);

•modify the cooking time (by pressing button p and hen s or t to increase or decrease the amount of time).

•stop it at any time by setting the function selector “B” back to 0.

When the set cooking time is up, a buzzer will sound, and will stop doing so after 1 minute or if you press any button whatsoever. The word -ENDwill appear, the control panel and the temperature control “C” will be disabled until the function selector “B” is set to position 0.
