Dementia and Hotpoint cookers

[noggythenog]

Hmmm, it may be the same, but it might not.

So if it was the same, then on that wee HOTPOINT snap, it would be - switch on at the isolator - the time flashes - stab the clock button in the middle once - and bingo the oven will kick in and go to the temp it was previously set at............?

Anybody got a HOTPOINT cooker with fan only oven and minute timer?

Oh me old dear uses a separate timer that she sets and takes through to the living room with her.  When that goes off she goes and takes the WFF meal out of the oven.

Yeh I think someone with the same cooker is the best now......thing is all these old foccers never ever used a cooker :lol.......more fool me for being part of the younger generation that does everything.

thing is it is different to see from the picture but if the selector for the heat temperature of the oven involves the LCD display in any way then my process might not work........when she toggles on and off to get it back to oven and then she goes to select the heat....does the temperature she has selected get displayed on the LCD display?.....if so then I would imagine that the power switch being off would reset the LCD and this would mean my method of just pressing the timer button wont work..because the heat needs to be dialled in again........if it is just a physical heat select dial though then my example seems more plausible....The first picture looks like the heat dial is pretty much a physical dial that can be turned round to say 200 degrees and just left there.....switching off the power wont physically alter that......so I still reckon the old press the timer button once and leave the heat dial as is would be fine.
