Hotpoint 62DGW installation instructions To USE the Grill, Relighting the Burner

Grill

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED.

YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The grill is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the grill is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.

Grill Pan Handle

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle securely before use:

1.Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)

2.Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)

and holds the pan from the bottom.

The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan. Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles more efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.

The grill pan can be stored in the top compartment with the handle attached by placing the shelf in the middle or lower position and tilting the grill pan over the rear edge of the shelf.

TO USE THE GRILL

1.Open the top oven/grill door and remove the grill pan.

2.Remove the heat shield from the rear of the shelf for maximum grilling area.

3.Place the shelf in the appropriate position.

4.Push in and turn the control knob clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit, to allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.

For the models with the electronic ignition button

( ), press the button and then turn the knob. GB

5.Slide the grill pan along the shelf towards the rear of the grill compartment until it stops.

6.Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input. Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.

7.To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the symbol O.

The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top oven. If for any reason the grill burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the off position, leave the grill door open and wait for at least one minute before attempting to light the burner again. An odour may be noticed when first using the grill - this should cease after a short period of use.

DO NOT use the grill with the door closed.

DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.

RELIGHTING THE BURNER

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute. Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food warm.

For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska, place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.
