Hotpoint KSO53CX S User Manual

 GRATIN mode

The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on. 

This combination of features increases the effectiveness of 

the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements 

through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. 

This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, 

allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always 

cook in this mode with the oven door closed. 

 Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted 

cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature 

sensitive foods.

 In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place the 

dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat 

and/or grease).

MULTI-COOKING

•  Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more 

heat on 2.

•  Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on 

top.

GRILL

•  Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the 

centre of the rack.

•  We recommend that you set the maximum power level. 

The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat 

and may not always be on.

PIZZA

•  For best results when cooking pizza, use the MULTI-

COOKING mode.

•  Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack 

provided. 

  For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents 

crust from forming by extending cooking time).

•  If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding 

the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway 

through the cooking process.
