It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the
appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to
another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure
that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be
acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.
THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. YOU MUST
READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to be operated
by adults. Children should not be allowed
to tamper with the controls or play with
the product.
Any installation work must be
undertaken by a competent, qualified
installer in accordance with the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
1984 and the relevant codes of practice.
In the U.K. C.O.R.G.I. registered
installers (including regions of British
Gas) undertake the work to safe and
satisfactory standards.
Any electrical work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by a
qualified or competent person.
It is dangerous to alter the specifications
or modify the product in any way.
Under no circumstances should any
maintenance work be carried out by any
other than a qualified person.
This product should be serviced by an
authorised Zanussi Service Centre, and only
genuine Zanussi spare parts should be used.
Unstable or misshapen pans should not
be used on the burner as unstable pans
can cause an accident by tipping or
spillage.
Cookers and hobs become very hot with
use, and retain their heat for a long
period of time after use. Children should
be supervised at all times and should not
be allowed to touch the hot surfaces or
be in the vicinity when in use or until the
appliance has cooled after use.
If the appliance is fitted with a lid, this is
designed as a dust cover when closed,
and as a splash-back when open. Do not
use for any other purposes.
After using the cooker, the glass lid fitted
MUST NOT be closed until the hob and
oven are completely cold. If you lower the
glass lid when the hob or oven are still
hot or warm, the glass may shatter and
could cause injury.
It is always necessary to remove any
spillage from the surface of the cover
before removal or opening (if applicable),
and the appliance should be allowed to
cool before replacing or closing the
cover.

This product should only be used with
natural gas.
Always ensure that the control knobs are
in the «off» position when not in use.
All gas appliances require adequate
ventilation. Failure to provide this could
result in a lack of oxygen. Your installer
will advise if in doubt.
For hygiene and safety reasons, this
appliance should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstaffs could result in a fire.
This product has been designed for
cooking edible foodstuffs only, and must
not be used for any other purposes.
Always ensure that the oven vent which
is located at the centre back of the hob is
left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of
the oven cavity.
A gas oven relies on the movement of air
for heating. Under no circumstances
should the vents in the base of the oven
be obstructed. Never line any part of the
oven with aluminium foil.
Do not allow the oven cavity to fill with
unlit gas.
This appliance is heavy and care must be
taken when moving it.
Before any maintenance or cleaning
always unplug the appliance from the
electrical supply, and allow to cool.
Before igniting the oven or grill, open the
oven door.
Ensure that oven anti-tip shelves are put
in place in the correct way. (See
instructions).
Under no circumstances should gas
cookers and hobs be left unattended
when in use.
Easy clean liners should never be
cleaned with anything ather than detergent
water. (See instructions regarding
cleaning).
When operating a burner, the grill or
oven, make sure that the gas is fully
ignited.
Only oven-proof dishes are to be stored
in the drawer beneath the oven. Do not
store combustible materials.
Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by unauthorised or
inexperienced persons may cause injury
or more serious malfunctioning. Refer to
your local Zanussi Service Centre. Always
insist on genuine Zanussi spare parts.

Operation
Safety cut off
The cooker is equipped with a safety cut
off device which totally interrupts the gas
supply of the worktop, oven and grill
burners. By lowering the worktop cover,
the gas supply is interrupted. To restore
gas supply, lift up the cover and depress
the black button situated at the SE left
of the worktop.
Safety cut-off switch
Do not tamper with or attempt to adjust
the safety cut-off switch. Any adjustment
must be made by a qualified engineer.
The switch is designed to prevent the hob
or oven being turned on when the lid is
closed.
Tampering with the switch may enable
the heat to be turned on with the glass
lid in the down position. The heat would
cause the glass lid to shatter which could
result in injury. Should you find the
switeh not functioning correctly, contact
your local authorised Zanussi Service
Centre.
Worktop burners
To light a worktop burner, turn the
relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum
(Fig. 1).
After opening the tap to maximum, push
button marked by a small electric spark.
As soon as the burner is lit, adjust the
flame as required.
Important: Put the pans on the burner
only after having lit it on.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it
is strongly recommended that you use
only pots and pans with a base fitting
the size of the burner used, so that
the flame will not spread beyond
the base of the vessel.
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid
starts boiling, to turn down the flame so
8
that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Important: Be very careful when frying
food in hot oil or fat as the overheated
splashes could easily flare up.
