Care and Cleaning
Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the main switch before all operations.
Inside the oven
We recommend you clean your oven each time you use it, especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the residue would be
Oven exterior

DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.
To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you must never be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We strongly advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet in direct contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly.
Cleaning the rotisserie and other accessories
The rotisserie can be removed completely using the 2 wing nuts. The elements comprising the rotisserie assembly should be cleaned together with the other accessories (baking tray, shelf) in the sink using a damp sponge and ordinary detergent or in your dishwasher.
Rubber Seal
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it using warm water and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so. Should the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
