C363E, C262E, C366E, C361E, C362E specifications

The Hotpoint C362E, C361E, C366E, C262E, and C363E models represent a versatile and efficient series of cookers designed to meet the needs of modern households. Featuring a blend of advanced technologies and user-friendly designs, these cookers promise to elevate your culinary experience while maintaining efficiency and safety.

One of the key features across these models is the multi-function oven. With various cooking modes, including fan-assisted convection, grill, and conventional heating, users can tailor their cooking methods to suit a wide range of recipes. The even heat distribution helps ensure that food is cooked perfectly every time, whether you’re roasting a chicken or baking pastries.

In terms of design, these models showcase a sleek and contemporary appearance, available in multiple finishes to suit different kitchen aesthetics. The clean lines and minimalist control panel contribute to an easy-to-navigate interface, allowing users to select settings effortlessly.

Safety is paramount in the Hotpoint C-series, and features such as the thermostatic temperature control and flame failure safety device are integral parts of these cookers. The flame failure device automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out, providing peace of mind for families. Additionally, the child safety lock ensures that little hands cannot accidentally operate the oven.

The Hotpoint models also incorporate self-cleaning technology, reducing the burden of maintenance. The pyrolytic cleaning function heats the oven to high temperatures, turning food residues into ash that can be easily wiped away. This not only saves time but also ensures that the oven remains hygienic and in excellent condition.

Moreover, energy efficiency is a vital characteristic of the C-series cookers. With high-grade insulation and advanced heating elements, these models are designed to use less energy without compromising on performance, making them an environmentally friendly choice for conscientious consumers.

With their combination of exceptional cooking capabilities, safety features, and energy efficiency, the Hotpoint C362E, C361E, C366E, C262E, and C363E cookers stand out as reliable and stylish options for anyone looking to enhance their kitchen experience.
