What You'll Learn
Resetting the clock after a power outage
Resetting the clock on your Hotpoint electric oven after a power outage can be done by following these steps:
Firstly, ensure all controls are turned off. If your oven display is blank, it may be in "off" mode, which hides the time from the display screen. In this case, simply press the "clock" pad once to bring the time back to the display screen.
If your display is flashing zeros or an incorrect time, press the "clock" pad twice to enter clock set mode. You'll know you're in the right mode when the time, though it may be incorrect, begins flashing on the display screen.
Now, adjust the hour and minute with the arrow symbols above and below "hour" and "min" until the correct time shows on the display screen. Finally, press the "clock" pad once more to set the time.
If your oven has three buttons with a clock symbol flanked by a plus and minus sign, press the middle clock button until a clock symbol flashes on the display screen. Then, press the plus and minus buttons until the accurate time is reflected.
If the above methods do not work, you may need to power cycle your appliance by unplugging it and leaving it off for a few hours. If this also fails, you may need to access the back of the timer by removing the oven from its housing and altering the wiring to bypass the timer. However, this may require the assistance of a professional technician.

Setting the time
First, locate the buttons labelled "clock", "hour", and "min" or "minute". Some models may have additional buttons, but you only need to focus on these specific buttons. Press the "clock" button twice to enter the clock set mode. You will know you are in the correct mode when you see the time, although it may be incorrect, flashing on the display screen.
Once you are in clock set mode, you can adjust the time. Use the arrow buttons above or below "hour" and "min" to set the desired hour and minute. Adjust the hour and minute separately using their respective arrow buttons until the correct time appears on the display.
After you have set the time, press the "clock" button once more to confirm and exit clock set mode. Your oven will now display the correct time and function properly.
It is important to note that if your display screen is blank, your oven may be in "off" mode. In this mode, the time is hidden from the display screen, but the oven is still keeping accurate time. To bring the time back to the display, simply press the "clock" button once.

Hiding the time from the display screen
To hide the time from the display screen of your Hotpoint electric oven, you will need to put the clock in "off" mode. This can be done by pressing the "clock" pad once.
The "clock" pad is the button labelled "clock" with arrow symbols above and below "hour" and "min". By pressing this button once, you can toggle between hiding and displaying the time on the screen. When the clock is in "off" mode, the oven will still keep accurate time, but it will not be visible on the display screen.
It is important to note that the procedure for setting the time on a Hotpoint oven may vary slightly depending on the model. Some Hotpoint ovens have more buttons, while others have a three-button system with a clock symbol flanked by a plus and minus sign. However, regardless of the model, pressing the "clock" pad once should hide the time from the display screen.
If your display screen is blank, it may be because the clock is in "off" mode. In this case, pressing the "clock" pad once will bring the time back to the display screen without needing to reset the time. This is a useful feature if you want to temporarily hide the time without losing the correct time setting.
