The Hisense Built-in Electric Hob is designed for household cooking. It features an oven with various heating modes and a hob for cooking with pans. The oven functions include:
- Separate oven lighting: For illuminating the oven interior, useful during cleaning.
- Bottom and top heaters on: Standard conventional heating for the oven.
- Bottom heater on: Heats the oven using only the bottom element, suitable for final baking from the bottom.

- Grill heater on: Activates the grill element for grilling dishes on the grate.
- Fan, bottom and top heaters on (for HBO60201/HBO60202): Executes a "cake function" for conventional oven cooking with a fan.
- Combined grill (Grill and the top heater) (for HBO60201/HBO60202): Enables grilling with both the grill and top heater simultaneously, providing higher temperatures at the top of the cooking area for more intense browning and larger portions.
- Fan and combined grill on (for HBO60201/HBO60202): Activates both the combined grill and fan, speeding up the grilling process and improving taste. This function should be used with the oven door shut.
- Defrosting (for HBO60203): Rapidly and delicately thaws frozen foods using the internal fan.
The appliance also includes a minute minder function that can be used independently of oven cooking for up to 120 minutes.

Usage Features
Before First Use:
- Remove all packaging.
- Clean the interior of the oven and the hob.
- Wash oven fittings with warm water and washing-up liquid.
- Ventilate the room.
- Heat the oven to 250°C for approximately 30 minutes to remove any residue, then clean.
- Heat hob zones for about 4 minutes without a pan.
Operating the Oven:
- Oven functions are controlled by the oven function selection knob and the temperature control knob.
- To switch on, set the desired function and temperature.
- To switch off, set both knobs to the "•"/"0" position.
Using the Minute Minder:
- Turn the knob fully clockwise until it stops, then turn it back anticlockwise to the desired time (up to 120 minutes).
- An audible signal will sound when the set time expires, and the oven will stop.
Fast Oven Heat-up:
- Available in ovens with automatic air circulation, a fan, and an ultra-fan heater.
- Reaches 150°C in approximately 4 minutes.
- Mode of operation: Set oven function to "ultra-fan and bottom heater," temperature to 150°C. Once the red temperature regulator light goes off, place the tray with dough in the oven and then set the desired heating mode.
- Important: Do not use a baking tray with dough or other non-fitting elements during fast heat-up. Not recommended with the programmer set.
Using the Grill:
- To switch on: Set the oven knob to the grill position.
- Preheat the oven for approximately 5 minutes (with the oven door shut).
- Insert a tray with the dish onto the appropriate cooking level. If grilling on the grate, insert a dripping tray immediately below.

Energy Saving Tips:
- Do not uncover pans or open the oven door unnecessarily.
