This document outlines the functions, usage, and maintenance of a Hoover oven, covering models HOE3161IN, HOT3161BI, and HOT3161WI.
The oven is designed solely for cooking food; any other use, such as a heat source, is considered improper and potentially dangerous. The manufacturer disclaims responsibility for damage resulting from improper or unreasonable usage. When using the appliance, it's crucial to observe fundamental electrical safety rules: avoid pulling the power cable to disconnect, do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet, and generally refrain from using adapters, multiple sockets, or extension cables. In case of malfunction, switch off the appliance and do not attempt to tamper with it.
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations. The oven requires a 220-240 Vac 50 Hz power supply with an earthed wall outlet or a multipole disconnector. Before connecting, verify the power voltage and disconnector settings. The grounding wire must be connected to the earth terminal of the power supply. The manufacturer is not responsible for accidents caused by improper grounding.
After each use, a minimum of cleaning helps maintain the oven. Avoid lining oven walls with aluminum foil or single-use protection, as direct contact with hot enamel can cause melting and deterioration. To prevent excessive soiling and strong odors, avoid using the oven at very high temperatures; extending cooking time and lowering the temperature slightly is recommended. Only use dishes and baking molds resistant to very high temperatures.
The oven can be installed in a column or under a worktop. Proper ventilation in the oven space is essential for cooling and protecting internal parts. The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door to avoid overheating. When placing a shelf, ensure the stop is directed upwards and towards the back of the cavity, and the shelf is fully inserted. Never remove the oven door seal.
The oven features a control panel, shelf positions (with lateral wire grids if included), a metal grill, a drip pan, a fan (behind a steel plate), and an oven door. Accessories include a drip pan for collecting residues and a metal grill for holding baking trays and plates.
Before first use, perform a preliminary cleaning. Wipe external surfaces with a damp soft cloth. Wash all accessories and clean the oven interior with hot water and washing-up liquid. Then, set the empty oven to maximum temperature for about an hour to remove any lingering newness smells.
The display includes a minute minder, clock setting, cooking time, end of cooking, temperature or clock display, LCD display adjustment controls, a thermostat selector knob, and a function selector knob. After installation or a power interruption, the first step is to set the correct time. This is done by pushing the central button, setting the time with the "-" and "+" buttons, and then releasing all buttons. The oven will only operate once the clock is set.
The oven offers various functions:
Cooking modes include:
Regular cleaning extends the appliance's lifecycle. Always wait for the oven to cool before manual cleaning. Avoid abrasive detergents, steel wool, or sharp objects to prevent damage to enamelled parts. Use only water, soap, or bleach-based detergents.
The Hydro Easy Clean function uses steam to help remove fat and food particles. Pour 300 ml of water into the container at the bottom of the oven, set the oven function to Static or Bottom heater, and set the temperature to the Hydro Easy Clean icon. Allow the program to run for 30 minutes, then switch it off and let the oven cool. Once cool, clean the inner surfaces with a cloth. Ensure the appliance is cool before touching it to avoid burns. Use distilled or drinkable water.
