Cooking Results Not Satisfactory - Hotpoint HD5G00KCB/UK Operating Instructions Manual

Care and maintenance
Respecting and conserving the environment
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the "delay
cooking" option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.

should be checked both left to right and front to back.
Ensure that the food is positioned centrally in the oven.
The following may cause cakes to sink:
