Before you operate your newHotpoint Double Oven
Please read these instructions fully.
1. Your oven should not be located adjacent to a gas hob/heater or eye level
grill as flames from the burners could cause damage to your oven.
2. For your own safety and to get the best results from your oven it is important
to read through this Handbook before using your oven for the first time
including the Always and Never on pages 8 and 9.
Electrical Requirements
●For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a
competent person – such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National
Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should
be installed in accordance with the latest Edition of the IEE Regulations.
●THE INSTALLER MUST check that the voltage shown on the rating plate
corresponds with the house electricity supply.
●The oven must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch,
having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles placed in a readily
accessible position adjacent to the unit.
●The maximum loading for your oven is 5.3kW.
●If the oven is to be wired into a connector unit this may be positioned
behind the oven provided the following requirements are met:
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25 mm.
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 350 mm above the base
of the oven recess.
●After unpacking the oven stand it on the packing base in order to avoid
damage.
Electrical Connections
●Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the oven. Pass the cable
through the cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.
Allow sufficient cable so that the oven can be set down on the floor whilst
still connected up. Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the
terminal cover. Make mains connections.
This appliance conforms to EN55014 regarding suppression of Radio
and Television reception interference.
Where a double oven is used a 32 amp double pole control switch should be
used to feed the unit using a suitable rated cable. We recommend that a
minimum of 4mm2PVC insulated twin and earth cable conforming to B.S. 6004.
●Where a hob is fitted adjacent to an oven then a 45 amp Double Pole control
switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.
