Introduction to Hotpoint EG95  
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting  
service. This guarantee is only applicable if the  
appliance has been installed in accordance with  
the installation instructions detailed in this  
booklet.  
To help make the best use of your Hotpoint cooking  
equipment please read this booklet carefully.  
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use  
and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any  
other installation.  
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is  
well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor  
fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the  
odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be  
removed from the room until the smell has ceased.  
This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners  
and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the  
insulation.  
This appliance conforms to the following

Installation – Electrical  
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your  
supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the front of the plinth.  
The cooker must be connected by a competent person eg. (NICEIC registered contractor)  
to suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 30A and a minimum contact  
clearance of 3mm, which should be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in accordance with latest  
IEE regulations.  
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm2.  
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding suppression of radio and television  
interference.  
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover.  
The mains cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block.  
Sufficient cable should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing.  
Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel and  
is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the cooker into position between cabinets.  
Your cooker is heavy, so it is advisable that two people move it The cooker is fitted with  
rear wheels and will slide into position easily. Movement of your cooker is most easily  
achieved as follows. Open the Grill/Oven door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the  
underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements or oven interior furniture,  
and then lift and slide back at the same time.  
Your cooker must stand on a flat surface so that the hob is perfectly level, and the cooker  
is stable and cannot be rocked, this is easily achieved by adjusting the 3 feet which are  
under the front of the cooker, if necessary.  
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 1000mm apart. The space  
either side need only be sufficient to  
allow withdrawal of the cooker for  
servicing. It can be used with  
cabinets one side or both. It can  
also be used free-standing.  
This cooker is a class X appliance,  
as such adjacent side walls which  
project above hob level, must not  
be nearer to the cooker than 65mm  
and should be protected by heat  
resistant material. Any overhanging  
surface or cooker hood should not  
be nearer 650mm.

liability claims and could lead to prosecution.  
Provision for  
Ventilation  
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in  
accordance with BS 5440: Part 2: 1989.  
The room must have an openable window or equivalent; some rooms  
may also require a permanent vent. If the room has a volume  
between 5 and 10m3, it will require an air vent of 50cm3 effective area  
unless it has a door which opens directly to outside. If the room has a  
volume of less than 5m3, it will require an air vent of 100cm2 effective  
area. If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room,  
BS 5440 Part 2: 1989 should be consulted to determine air vent  
requirements.  
Stability  
The cooker must be fitted with a stability device firmly secured to the  
fabric of the building. The back of the cooker has a bracket, which  
can be used to affix a chain.  
Connection  
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved appli-  
ance flexible connection to BS 669. If used with LPG the hose should  
be suitable for L.P.G. and capable of withstanding 50mbars pressure.  
A length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The length of hose chosen  
should be such that when the cooker is in situ, the hose does not  
touch the floor.  
The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the cooker that are likely  
to come in contact with the flexible hose do not exceed 70oC.  
After installation, check for soundness.  
Unpacking  
After unpacking your cooker, make sure that you remove all packing  
from the oven and grill, and any stickers from the oven and the hob.  
Operational  
Check  
Test the gas pressure at any injector using the pressure test adaptor  
provided in place of one of the injectors. Once the pressure has been  
tested, re-fit the original injector.

Using the Hob  
The hotplate has two high speed burners and three simmering  
burners which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and  
230mm (9”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over  
the burners.  
BEFORE USE check that the burner caps and pan supports are  
located correctly.  
Simmering aids such as steel plates should not be used because  
they can cause damage to the pan supports.  
DO NOT use mis-shaped pans which may be unstable.  
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.  
DO NOT leave items that could catch fire i.e. tea towels etc. near to  
burners or over the flue outlet.  
DO NOT use the cooker if the hob glass is broken  
To use the  
Hotplate  
1. Check that the electricity supply is switched on. Check that  
spillage bowls and pan supports are positioned correctly before  
use.  
2. Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-  
clockwise between the large flame and small flame symbols.  
Press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas.  
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.  
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the zero.  
Safety  
Requirements for  
Deep Fat Frying  
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.  
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling  
period.  
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.  
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into  
the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and  
spitting if added too quickly.  
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of  
oil or fat.

Grill  
CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN  
A GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
Important  
GRILLING SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOORS  
FULLY OPEN.  
Setting the twin  
grill  
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either  
the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill element  
only, depending on which direction the grill control is rotated. With  
the grill control knob rotated clockwise the twin elements will come  
on together, anti-clockwise rotation brings only the left hand single  
element on.  
Open the top oven/grill door, preheat the grill at “4” setting for  
approximately 5 minutes. When toasting the rod shelf is placed in the  
top runner. Position the pan centrally below the grill element.  
Leave the control at “4” for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods.  
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the control to a lower  
setting after the initial sealing on both sides at “4”. The thicker the  
food the lower the control should be set. Food which requires brown-  
ing only should be placed under the hot grill directly on the shelf in  
the first or second runner from the bottom according to the depth of  
the dish.  
Remember to switch off the grill control at the end of cooking.  
Single Grill  
With the oven door in the open position, heating of the grill is  
achieved by turning the control clockwise to the desired ‘grill setting’  
on the control panel, as described under ‘setting the Grill’.  
Preheat the grill at setting 6 for approximately 5 minutes.  
Operating  
controls when a  
grill is in use  
In common with all cookers having controls sited above the grill  
compartment, care must be taken when setting the controls, due to  
the hot air expelled from the grill compartment.

Automatic Cooking  
The oven timer offers you the following features:  
1. Time of Day  
2. Minute Minder  
3. Automatic Cooking  
Automatic  
Cooking  
The Fan Oven and Conventional Oven can be controlled by the  
automatic timer. When the timer control has been set for one oven it is  
possible to use the other oven only on the same automatic cooking  
programme.  
Hints on  
Automatic  
Cooking  
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require  
approximately the same temperature.  
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to  
finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the  
food has not cooled down and does not require reheating  
before serving.  
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven,  
ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry  
should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.  
4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if  
there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat  
and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.  
5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,  
for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically  
if there is to be a delay period.  
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so  
that the delay period is kept to a minimum.  
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain  
foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to  
a minimum.  
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the  
delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before  
serving.  
9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or  
tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to  
placing food in the oven.  
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent  
boiling over.  
11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to  
prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a  
good seal.  
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.  
Timer  
Operation  
1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.  
2. Check that the electricity supply to the cooker is turned On.  
3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.

Fan Oven Cookery Notes  
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the  
required temperature as recommended in the temperature chart. The  
pilot light will immediately come on the remain on until the oven  
reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go  
off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the  
correct temperature.  
Note: If the pilot light does not come On when the control is turned,  
check that the timer is in Manual operation (clock section).  
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a  
momentary pull of steam when the oven door is opened. This will dis-  
perse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic  
of an oven with a good door seal.  
Since a Circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally  
cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-  
heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods such as  
bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, should be placed in a pre-  
heated oven.  
The cooking charts  
are a guide only, giving approxi-  
mate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and  
requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease  
temperatures by 10°C.  
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold  
oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot  
oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending  
on the type and quantity of food being cooked.  
Oven Positions  
Since the distribution of heat in the Circulaire oven is very even,  
most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the  
shelves should be evenly spaced.  
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x  
300mm (15" x 12”) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13”  
x 10”), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.  
Food or utensils should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven  
for cooking.  
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be  
seriously restricted.  
To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use  
should be removed from the oven.  
When 3 shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for  
home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the  
cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to allow for the  
loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the  
larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an equal gap on all  
sides to allow even air circulation.  
Temperature and  
Time  
N.B. Recipes in cookery books give times and temperatures for  
cooking in ordinary ovens. The Creda fan oven make it possible, in  
most cases, to:–  
(a) reduce the recommended temperature by 25°C (45°F).  
(b) reduce the recommended time by approximately 10 minutes  
per hour.  
(c) Make pre-heating the oven unnecessary for certain foods.

Fan Oven Cookery Notes  
To prepare meat  
and poultry for  
roasting in your  
fan oven  
(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which  
has been stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to  
room temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry  
must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.  
(b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before  
calculating cooking time.  
(c) Place meat/poultry in the grill/meat pan supplied. Small joints  
1
2
weighing less than 1.75kg (3 / lbs) should be roasted in a  
smaller meat pan/tin – or they may be ‘pot roasted’ – a small  
joint in a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing  
and evaporation of meat juices.  
(d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean  
meat or poultry which can either be ‘larded’ with fat bacon or  
brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat.  
(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with  
seasoned flour to give a crisp outer surface. The skin of duck  
and goose should be pricked to release excess fat during  
cooking, and the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly  
with oil, and rubbed with salt, to give crisp crackling.  
(f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of  
aluminium foil will be juicy and tender. Roasting bags offer the  
same advantages. Always follow the manufacturers pack  
instructions, and remember to reduce the temperatures given  
for conventional ovens by approximately 25°C and the time by  
approximately 10 minutes per hour.  
(g) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking  
oil or melted fat.  
(h) It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven  
and stock or liquid should not be added to the meat pan since  
this only causes unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation.  
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly,  
preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g  
(1 lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).  
Frozen Meat  
and Poultry

Note: If soft margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the manu-  
facturers should be followed. Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes  
made with block margarines or butter only.

The ‘Slow’ Setting  
Your fan oven has a ‘slow cooking’ facility.  
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming  
plates for short periods.  
Some advantages The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.  
of slow cooking  
are:  
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.  
Fully loading the oven can be very economical.  
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours for  
latecomers.  
The kitchen stays cooler.  
Bearing in mind these advantages, it makes sense to cook larger  
quantities of food than required and store them in a freezer to be  
used cold or for re-heating.  
It is important to follow the guidelines given for preparing food  
using the ‘Slow’ setting.  
Slow cooking can only be used with the fan oven operating at  
the ‘E’ setting.  
Operating  
Procedure  
1. Ensure Oven Timer is set correctly, for auto/manual operation.  
2. Turn the oven thermostat control to a temperature at the ’E’  
setting (90oC). The oven indicator light will remain on until the  
oven reaches the set temperature. The light will then auto-  
matically cycle off and on during cooking as the oven  
temperature is controlled.  
3. After use always return both controls to the off position and  
close the oven door.  
Menus in this book are for slow cooking only.  
Other recipes for cooking can be found in your Hotpoint Cook Book.  
25  
 
Using The ‘Slow’ Setting  
1. Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing the  
Points to bear in  
mind when  
preparing food:  
food.  
2. All dishes cooked by the ‘Slow’ setting should be cooked for a  
minimum of 6 hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further  
hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in  
some cases.  
3. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at fan oven 170o C  
for 30 mins before turning to the Slow setting.  
4. Meat over 2.7 Kg. (6 lbs) and poultry over 2 Kg. (4 lbs 8oz) are  
unsuitable for the Slow setting.  
5. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin, to allow  
good air circulation.  
6. Pork joints can only be cooked, if by testing with a meat  
thermometer and internal temperature of at least 88oC is  
reached.  
7. This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and poultry.  
8. Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before  
putting in the oven.  
9. When casseroles are used, cover the food first with foil and then  
the lid to prevent loss of moisture.  
10. Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.  
11. Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small even sized  
pieces.  
12. Always adjust the seasoning and thickenings at the end of the  
cooking time.  
13. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be  
observed from time to time.  
14. Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten  
minutes after soaking, before inclusion in any dish.  
1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a  
clean container as quickly as possible.  
2. Thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-  
heating.  
Storage and  
Re-heating of food  
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the gas burner or  
in the fan oven, 170oC and then serve immediately.  
4. Only re-heat food once.

Care and Cleaning  
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.  
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL  
CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.  
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRA-  
SIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN  
CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND.  
Hob Surround  
Gas Pan Supports  
and Gas Burner  
Discs  
Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be  
removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing  
with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pads. Check that the clean-  
ing agent used is approved by the Vitreous Enamel Development  
Council.  
Note  
We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hot-  
plates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion.  
Accidental operation with a cover in place can cause intense heat.  
Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause  
corrosion.  
When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a  
utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar  
spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be  
cleaned off with care immediately. If sugar spillage has occurred,  
remove it whilst it is still hot. This will avoid any damage. NEVER LET  
IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry  
cloth. Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring  
pads or abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will  
occur.  
Control Panel  
Grill  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash  
these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on  
when used again. Wipe out the grill compartment, use a fine steel wool  
soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelf, grill deflector  
plate and the floor of the compartment.  
Wipe over the door outer panel with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy  
water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a  
soft clean cloth.  
Doors  
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may  
scratch the surface.  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the Door Seal. Do  
not lift the Door Seal from the Oven Front Frame, if necessary remove  
the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.  
35  
 
Care and Cleaning  
Ovens  
Remove the rod shelves and meat pan.  
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod  
shelves, meat pan and the floor of the ovens.  
How ‘Stayclean’  
Works  
The surface of the ‘Stayclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face  
with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At tempera-  
tures of 220oC (425oF) or above, the special surface enables these soils to  
be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In  
most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will permit this  
cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking  
temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy  
soiling, to run the oven without a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple  
of hours. This may be necessary once a month or once every two or three  
months depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.  
Oven Liners – sides  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stayclean’ panels in  
water. If desirable remove the rod shelves and the side panels and wash  
them in warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water.  
Cleaning the  
Exterior of  
the Cooker  
The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like  
new.  
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in hot water and dry with a soft clean  
cloth.  
You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the manufacturer’s  
instructions first.  
Always test their suitability on a small area of the cooker not noticeable in  
normal use.  
NOTE: Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners  
which may scratch the surface.  
Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your  
cooker.

Cooking Results Not Satisfactory?  
Problem  
Check  
Grilling  
Uneven cooking front

Fan Oven Baking  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on  
the rod shelf and adjusting the wheels/feet. The oven should be  
checked both left to right and front to back.
