lid must be completely raised before the
cooker will function.

Installation
Technical Data
It is mandatory that all operations
required for the installation be carried

in the special sheet for the installer.
This appliance meets the requirements
laid down in EEC Directive No. 82/499
dated 7/6/1982 relating to the
suppression of radio and TV
interferences.
When the oven is first installed
Once the oven has been installed it is

Using the oven (Fan Ducted)
This is the Cuisinair system of cooking.
The heat source comes from a circular
element surrounding the fan behind the
back wall of the oven. The fan, which
comes on automatically when the oven is
turned on, distributes the warm air all
around the oven so that the entire cavity
is heated up evenly enabling foods to be
cooked in the same time regardless of
their position within the oven.
Foods of different types may be cooked
together provided they require the same
cooking temperature and there is very
little flavour transference. The speed of
heating up is so fast that it is not
necessary to pre-heat the oven.
The oven shelves can be filled to capacity.
Most normal types and materials of
cooking utensils can be used. During
cooking the door should be opened as
little as possible to avoid heat loss and so
excessive electricity consumption.
The oven light comes on automatically
when the oven is turned on as does the
on/off pilot light
Oven control knob (Fan Ducted) Fig. 1
0 Oven light, this will come on
automatically whenever the oven is in use.
§ Defrost setting, (NB This is NOT a
cooking position). This position is intended
to assist in thawing of frozen foods.
® Cuisinair cooking; this fan ducted
sytsem will allow you to roast or bake at
the same time with very little flavour
transference, and on any shelf.
0 Grill; the grill cannot be used at the
same time as the oven. The oven door
must be closed when grilling.

Fig.l

Electric grill
To switch on the grill turn the oven
control knob to 0 then turn the
thermostat knob to the required
temperature setting.
The grill element is removable. To remove
it pull outwards and always remember to
insert the ceramic safety plug provided
into the grill socket (Fig. 2).
Foods to be grilled should be placed on
the wire trivet in the grill pan. The trivet
can be positioned either way up to give
the required distance from the element
Note:
The grill element should be removed when
the oven is in use and the ceramic safety
plug placed into the element socket;
as over a period of time the element will
expand if subjected to the high
temperatures of the oven, and no longer
slot onto the fixing screws in the roof of
the oven.
Important
Your oven is fitted with hinges, giving
two door positions, fully open or fully
closed.
When grilling, the oven door must be
closed.
Grilling with the door open could cause
areas of the oven and surrounding
furniture to become excessively hot as
well as reducing the performance,
efficiency and economy of the grill.
Fig. 2

Thermostat control knob (Fig. 3)
By turning the thermostat control knob
clockwise you select the cooking
temperature. Temperature selection starts
at 50 °C and is marked in 25 °C increments
up to maximum, where the temperature at
the centre of the oven will reach
approximately 280 °C. The thermostat
controlling the temperature is totally
variable so it is possible to select
temperatures between those marked.
The MAX setting is particularly suitable
for grilling. Once the oven temperature
has been selected, the temperature light
will come on and remain on until the oven
has reached the correct setting;
after that it will come on and off with the
thermostat showing how the temperature
is being maintained.
During cooking the oven door should be
opened as little as possible to avoid heat
loss and so excessive electricity
consumption.
10
Safety thermostat
Should the main oven thermostat fail, the
oven is protected by a safety thermostat
which will operate if the temperature
within the oven reaches too high a level.
Once the temperature has returned to a
safe level the main oven thermostat will
function.
In cases where there is a permanent
failure it is necessary to contact the
Zanussi Network Service Engineer.
Shelves and Runners
This oven has four shelf positions in
chrome.
Oven with chrome runners
The anti-tip feature is achieved by the
closeness of the shelf runners.
The auto-stop feature is achieved by two
metal stops fixed to the shelves, as the
shelf is moved in and out the metal stops
catch on the bottom of any pair of shelf
runners, if the shelf is wrongly positioned
these stops will not catch, therefore it is
important to position the shelves as
shown (Fig. 4).
Digital clock/programmer (Fig. 5)
This programmer enables you to switch
the oven on and off at pre-set times
without the need for you to be in
attendance. A sound signal indicates the
end of a programmed cooking cycle.
The time of day is also shown. Most foods
cook well automatically, but preference
should be given to those which will not be
affected by the waiting period before the
oven comes on.
