Zanussi HC9518 Assembly instructions

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE & CARE
OF YOUR ZANUSSI COOKER
HC9518

Dear Customer
Buying a new cooker isn't something you do often and whether you've been cooking for
many years or this is your first oven please read these instructions carefully.
They are designed to help you to get to know your new appliance and to achieve the best
possible results from it. It may take time to adapt to using the new features because,
technology is constantly changing, oven controls are more precise, and insulation is
better. These improvements can lead to different cooking times and temperatures to those
you may be used to. To avoid disappointment please check with the recommendations
given in this leaflet.
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.

short period of time. If the odour emitted
during the initial burning off is
unpleasant, it may be necessary to open a
window for ventilation.
When the appliance has cooled, clean the
ceramic glass panel with Cleaner
Conditioner. This will not only protect
the surface, but also make it easier to
clean after use (page 19).
During Use
This cooker has passed all the approved
temperature and safety requirements.
However, when using various parts of the
cooker, certain areas may become hot.
There is a safety device which prevents
the controls overheating. If the grill or
second oven cuts out during use, turn off
the controls and allow the appliance to
cool. The grill and second oven should
then operate normally.
Manual Control
Your cooker is fitted with a timer control.
If the oven indicator light does not glow
when the oven control dial is turned on,
it is most likely that the cooker is set for
automatic cooking.

The Ceramic Hob with Zanussi Halogen Heat
Your ZANUSSI HALOGEN HEAT
ceramic hob will introduce you to a form
of hob cooking which is new and truly
revolutionary, combining the benefits of
conventional elements and ZANUSSI
HALOGEN HEAT. The ZANUSSI
HALOGEN HEAT area has special
tungsten halogen lamps, which transmit
heat very efficiently upwards through the
ceramic glass. ZANUSSI HALOGEN
HEAT - cooking by light - can be seen to
be on, even at the lowest setting. It's
controllable, fast and responsive.
The variety of sizes of heating areas
provide flexibility, so you can obtain the
most economical use of the hob.
You will be delighted with the way the
hob boils, fries, simmers, with the way it
assists in keeping your pans clean; the
way it prolongs their life...but above all,
the utter cleanliness of cooking and of
the hob itself will make your cooker one
of the most treasured appliances in your
kitchen. It is, however, important that
you realise that old-fashioned methods of
cleaning and care, suitable though they
may be for ordinary hobs, are just not
suitable for so modem a unit. May we
therefore ask you to study these
instructions and to follow the
recommendations on care and cleaning,
even though they may mean a change in
your usual methods. You will find the
care and cleaning different - but so
rewarding.
7

The Ceramic Cooking Panel
The smooth ceramic glass panel is non-
porous and durable Beneath is a
ZANUSSI HALOGEN HEAT area
located under a decorative oval area on
the surface and three conventional
elements, each one located under a
decorative circular area on the surface.
Notes
1. Intermittently the elements may be
seen glowing through the ceramic
surface when the heated area is on.
2. Before using the hob, always ensure
the ceramic surface and the saucepans
are clean and dry.
3. Saucepans may be rested on the
unheated areas when cooking is
complete, prior to serving the food.
The ZANUSSI HALOGEN HEAT
control knob has six positive settings
between 1 and 6 to give consistent heat
outputs each time a different setting is
selected.
The conventional element controls have
infinitely variable settings, are are
marked from 0-5.
They both are designed to cover all
methods of cooking.
A neon indicator light is positioned
beneath each control switch disc, which
will glow when the corresponding
control is switched on, and serve as a
reminder to turn the control switch back
to off when cooking is complete.
Dual Circuit Hotplate
The control knob for the dual circuit
hotplate has two sets of markings with a
common 'off position. The settings are
infinitely variable up to the maximum
setting. Turn the knob clockwise for the
whole plate and anti-clockwise for the
smaller inner section.
Hob Indicator
After the hob has been used, the hot hob
indicator lights, positioned on the
ceramic glass panel will glow as a
warning that the cooking area is still hot.
The indicator lights will go out as soon
as the cooking area is cool.
Saucepans
The best cooking results and the most
economical use of electricity will be
achieved by using smooth, flat based
saucepans for all the cooking areas.
Pans should not have rough bases and
should be lifted onto and off the heated
areas and not slide across the surface
since this in time may scratch the surface
finish of the hob. This also applies to
pans with aluminium bases to avoid
metal marks. Such marks are easily
cleaned, provided they are removed
immediately, and are not allowed to bake
onto the surface for long periods.
Other types of saucepans unsuitable for
use with ceramic hobs include pans made
from very lightweight material or those
that have been heavily used. Glass pans
give poor conductivity and therefore a
slow response. Cast iron pans in their
current form are equally unsuitable, not
only because their response time is very
slow but also because their ground base
is so coarse it is very easy to scratch the
glass surface of the hob.
8

Copper-bottomed pans give a good
response but it has not yet been proved
whether or not they leave a copper
deposit on the glass surface which is
difficult to remove. Any guidelines or
recommendations given by the saucepan
or cooking utensil manufacturer should
be followed.
Specialist Pans
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc
should comply with the
recommendations for normal saucepans
given above, e.g. traditional round
bottomed woks are not suitable for use
even with a stand, but woks with flat
bases are available and do comply with
the recommendations.
Safety Device
Built into the hob is a safety device (or
thermal limiter) which protects the
ceramic glass from overheating. If using
pans which are not ideal, for example,
concave based pans with shiny reflective
bases, or grooved bases, the safety
device can cause the heated area to
switch on and off during cooking,
particularly at maximum setting. This
causes no harm to the hob, it just means
food will take a little longer to cook, but
to prevent unnecessary switching on and
off, turn down from maximum to a lower
setting, or use boiling water in the pan at
the start of cooking.
Notes
1. Very thin badly dented and distorted
pans, particularly with uneven bases
should not be used.
2. It is inadvisable to leave an empty pan
on a heated area.
3. N ever place a utensil with a skirt, e.g.
a bucket) on a heated area.
Your questions answered
What happens if I leave an uncovered
heated area "on" for a long period?
This has been taken care of by
incorporating a built-in safety device. If,
for example, any of the heated areas are
left on an uncovered, a thermal limiter
will ensure that heat build-up is
insufficient to cause any adverse effects.
After several minutes at maximum
setting the device switches the element
off and on continually until the control
switch is reset by the user.
Can I cook on the ceramic panel itself?
No, it is not advisable.
You can damage the surface and you will
only make more cleaning.
Can I use asbestos mats or aluminium
foil?
No, Asbestos mats, aluminium foil and
aluminium dishes on the hob itself offer
no cooking advantages and they can
damage the ceramic glass surface. Never
place plastic or similar material, which
might melt, on the heating area.
Can I use the hob as a chopping
board?
Please, no! In time, you would scratch
the surface, making it more difficult to
clean. For the same reason, it is better to
'lift' pots and pans onto the heated areas
rather than slide them.
9

What do I do with 'spills'?
Allow the hob to cool before cleaning.
Remove spills with a clean, damp cloth
(no detergent). If there is detergent in the
cloth, you may leave a layer of soil-laden
detergent on the hob surface which can
result in discolouration next time the area
is switched 'on'. This is why dishcloths
and washing-up sponges should not be
used. If it happens the special Cleaner-
Conditioner provided will remove it.
In particular, sugar solutions e.g. jams
and syrups, must be wiped off the hob
surface before they set and become hard
to avoid the surface being damaged (see
'Important Notes' page 22.).
10

Operation of the Heated Areas
1. Place the saucepans with contents
onto the cooking area and turn the
control switch to an appropriate
setting. The highest setting will allow
the maximum amount of heat to be
transferred to the pan for initial fast
boiling or heating, but it is important
to be guided by any particular
recommendations given in the
saucepan manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of heat settings to
suit the type of hob and close fitting
lids on the saucepans will ensure
faster results.
2. To select a setting for simmering after
initial fast boiling or heating, or for
slower cooking, turn to a lower
position. The numbers do not denote
any set temperature, but after using
the hob a few times, no difficulty will
be experienced in selecting an
appropriate setting, although this may
vary with the type and quantity of
food, the size and type of saucepan
and whether or not a lid is used.
Note
Occasionally the heated areas may be
seen to switch on and off while cooking
at the higher settings. This is due to a
safety device which protects the glass
from overheating and can be caused by
the use of an unsuitable pan (see page 9).
If this happens the ZANUSSI
HALOGEN HEAT heated area indicator
light will also switch on and off.
Special Frying Note
For safety purposes when deep fat frying,
fill the pan only one-third full of fat or
oil, do not cover the pan with a lid and
do not leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan
where it is, turn off the heat if it is safe to
do so. Place a damp cloth or correct
fitting lid over the pan to smother the
flames. Do not use water on the fire.
Le ave the p an to cool for at least 30
minutes. Do not leave fat or oil in the
frying pan on the hob to store it, in case
the hob is inadvertently switched on.
WARNING
DO NOT USE THE HOB IF ANY
PART OF THE SURFACE OF THE
CERAMIC GLASS PANEL IS
DAMAGED OR CRACKED. Switch
off at the electricity supply and contact
your Zanussi Service Centre. (Details in
Service leaflet supplied).
II

The Dual Grill
Ensure the grill deflector is positioned
above the grill element before using the
grill.
The whole area of the grill can be used
for grilling and toasting larger quantities
or the centre section only for cooking
smaller quantities of food.
The grill door must be left open during
grilling.
Operation of the Full Grill
To operate the grill turn the grill control
clockwise from the '0' position. For
grilling and toasting, the control should
normally be turned to 5 for initial pre¬
heating of 2 minutes and then adjusted as
necessary. The pre-heating may be
increased to 6-9 minutes when flash
grilling blue, rare or medium steaks. As
this is a high speed grill, when grilling
fatty foods it is advisable to lower the
position of the pan under the element
and/or reduce the setting, after initially
sealing the outside of the food, to help
prevent splashings of fat onto the grill
element.
Operation of the Centre Section Grill
This is the area in the centre of the grill.
To operate turn the grill anti-clockwise
from the '0' position.
The pre-heat may be increased to 10-13
minutes when flash grilling blue, rare or
medium steaks.
For convenience and flexibility of use,
e.g. cleaning, storage and as use as a
meat tin, the grill pan is supplied with a
removable handle.
For all grilling and toasting, the control
should normally be turned to '5' for the
initial pre-heating of 3 minutes and then
adjusted as necessary.
The Grill Pan Handle
To remove the handle, press the knob on
the handle with the thumb, and pivot
handle upwards.
Reverse this action when replacing
handle.
Positioning the Grill Pan
The grill pan is placed on the runners in
the grill compartment side panels which
provide alternative grilling positions, in
addition, there is a reversible grid within
the pan.
When toasting bread we suggest that the
top runner position is used with the grid
in either position. This is dependent on
the thickness and freshness of the bread
and the grid position must be adjusted to
suit.
Do not line the grill pan or grid with
aluminium foil. It is advisable not to
leave food, i.e. fat or oil in the meat pan
or grill pan on the cooker, incase the
cooker is inadvertently switched on. The
pan may be stored in this compartment
with the handle removed.
Warming Compartment
The grill compartment on the cooker is
ideal for warming dishes and keeping
food hot.
Select a low setting on the grill control
when using the compartment for this
purpose.
12

Operation of the Main Fan Oven
1. The oven door should be opened by
pulling the handle at the top and
closed by a gentle push.
2. Before switching the oven 'ON'
arrange the shelves in position. There
are up to four shelves provided,
although it is not necessary to use
them all. They allow for a variety of
shelf positions.
The runners are numbered from the
bottom upwards.
The even heat distribution allow most
dishes to be cooked equally well in
any shelf position.
It is possible to cook bulk loads on a
maximum of three shelves at any one
time.
3. It is recommended that when baking
larger quantities and three shelves are
being used, the shelf positions should
be evenly spaced to suit the load being
cooked. A slight increase in cooking
time may be necessary. The shelves
have an anti-tilt devices fitted which is
effective provided the shelves are
fitted with the straight rods uppermost
and the forms to the back of the oven.
4. Generally, lower oven temperatures
are required when cooking in the fan
oven than conventional ovens.
5. Set the oven control to the required
temperature. The oven indicator light
will glow until the oven has reached
the desired temperature, and then go
out. It will cycle ON and OFF
periodically during cooking showing
that the temperature is being
maintained.
6. The fan comes into operation as soon
as the oven control is moved to the
defrost position. It will operate
continuously during cooking.
7. Do not line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil.
8. The oven is vented. Under certain
cooking conditions, when moisture is
present, steam will be visible from the
vent. This is quite normal and
prevents an excessive build-up of
steam which would otherwise occur
inside the oven.
9. Oven thermometers are not
recommended as they do not give
accurate temperature readings and
therefore can give misleading
information to the user.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Baking trays or oven dishes should not
be placed directly against the grid
covering the fan at the back of the oven.
13

Defrosting in the Fan Oven
The fan oven has a defrost facility
marked on the control dial When
the control is set to this position, the fan
oven operates with the fan only switched
on i.e. without heat or neon indication.
This enables some foods to be defrosted
more quickly than conventional methods
due to the fast circulating air in the oven,
although the actual speed of defrosting
will be determined by the ambient
temperature.
The type of foods suitable for thawing
without heat are delicate frozen foods to
be served cold, such as fruit, cream, fresh
cream or butter-cream filled cakes and
gateaux, cakes coated with icings,
frostings or chocolate, cheesecakes,
quiches, pastries, biscuits, scones, bread
and other yeast products such as
doughnuts, buns and croissants, etc.
Faster defrosting of bread and plain
cakes may be carried out with the heat,
using the lower temperature settings,
(80°-90°C) on the oven control, although
food may go stale more quickly if
thawed in this way. Small cooked pastry
items, e.g. tarts, pies, sausage rolls and
mince pies can be heated through without
thawing first. Place into a cold oven set
at 190/200°C for 20-40 minutes,
depending on the quantity, size and
required serving temperature.
It is normally preferable to thaw fish,
meat and poultry slowly in the
refrigerator. However, this process can be
accelerated by thawing in the fan oven
without heat using the defrost feature:-
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat items such as fish fillets, frozen
peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat,
sliced meats such as liver, thin chops,
steaks etc., will be defrosted in 1-2 hours.
The frozen food should be placed in a
single layer where possible and if
necessary turned over halfway through
the defrosting process.
Joints of meat and poultry MUST BE
THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE
COOKING. A1 ’/ 2 kg (31b) oven-ready
chicken may be thawed in approximately
5 hours using the defrost feature and the
giblets must be removed as soon as
possible during the thawing process.
Faster defrosting can be carried out using
the lower temperatures on the oven
control dial (80-90°C) when the chicken
will be thawed in 2-7}h hours, remove
the giblets after 1-2 hours.
These methods of defrosting meat and
poultry using the fan oven are only
applicable for joints up to 2kg (41b) in
weight and ALWAYS COOK
THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
A medium size casserole or stew can be
thawed without heat using the defrost
feature in 3-4 hours. However, if time is
short, the casserole may be reheated
without thawing first. Place into a cold
oven set at 180-190°C for V/^-2'h hours,
depending on the size and shape of the
container. It will be necessary to stir or
break up the contents during the heating
process.
NOTE
Care must always be taken when
handling foods in the home. Always
follow the basic rules of food hygiene to
prevent bacterial and microbial growth
and cross contamination when
defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling
and freezing foods.
14

The Second Oven
The second oven is the smaller oven, is
thermostatically controlled and can be
used for cooking dishes on a smaller
scale e.g. a maximum of 12 queen cakes
or scones on a baking tray. If desired
small joints which require slow roasting
can be cooked in this oven. The oven is
heated by an element at the top of the
compartment, and a lower element under
the base of the compartment.
Use of the Second Oven
1. Before cooking in the oven ensure that
the grill splash tray/deflector is in
position.
2. This oven is supplied with a
withdrawable, non-tip shelf. Most
cooking in the oven must be carried
out on this shelf placed on either of
the lower two runners. In addition to
achieve extra height, dishes can be
cooked on a shelf from the main oven
placed sideways directly on the oven
floor. When the shelf is used in this
position, ensure that it is level on the
base of the oven.
3. Care should be taken not to place food
too close to the grill element- there
should always at least be 2.5cm (one
inch) between the top of the food and
the element. When cooking cakes,
pastry, scones, bread, etc., place the
tins on baking trays directly below the
grill element.
To allow adequate heat circulation,
baking tins and dishes should not be
placed against the back of the oven.
Do not place delicate food or dishes
on the floor of the compartment.
Where necessary, it is advisable to
stand dishes onto baking trays to
avoid spillage on the floor of the
compartment.
4. Most foods are cooked at lower
temperatures in the small second '
oven than conventional ovens.
5. To operate the second oven turn
control in a clockwise direction to the
temperature required for cooking. The
indicator light will glow until the
temperature selected is reached and
then go out. It will cycle on and off
periodically during cooking showing
that temperature is being maintained.
6. Do not line any part of the
compartment with aluminium foil.
7. The oven is vented through the back
of the cooker. Under certain
conditions when moisture is present,
steam will be visible from the vent.
This is quite normal and prevents a
build-up of steam which would
otherwise occur in the oven.
Warming Compartment
The second oven on the cooker is ideal
for warming dishes and keeping food
hot.
The lower settings on the second oven
control are used for this purpose. Dishes
should not be placed directly on the floor
of the oven.

Cleaning
THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY MUST
BE SWITCHED OFF BEFORE
CLEANING
All exterior surfaces are hard wearing,
easily cleaned and impervious to all
normal heat and spillage encountered
during cooking. Vitreous enamel can be
chipped by a hard blow and reasonable
care should be exercised. The exterior
surfaces including the oven doors should
be cleaned using a little liquid detergent
in hot water, and polish with a soft cloth.
Cleaners which contain bleach should
not be used as they may dull the surface.
Harsh abrasives may also affect the
finish and should not be used. When
removing parts of the cooker for
cleaning, we recommended that they are
not subjected to thermal shock i.e. do not
plunge a very hot grill pan or meat pan
into warm or cold water.
Note:
Before using any proprietary oven
cleaner, ensure that it is suitable for
application on polished surfaces e.g.
chromium, anodised aluminium, stainless
steel, vetreous enamel. Certain cleaners
may have an adverse effect.
Cleaning the Ceramic Hob
Make sure that the glass ceramic surface
is cool before applying any cleaning
materials.
1. Save on cleaning time:
• Make sure the bottom of the utensils
and cooking areas are clean and dry.
• Select correct heat settings and use
saucepans large enough to
accommodate food and liquid to
eliminate boilovers and spattering.
• If possible, wipe up food spills and
splatter from adjacent heating areas
before using areas for cooking.
2. Daily care:
Use Cleaner Conditioner daily. As it
cleans, it leaves a protective coating
of silicon on the smooth surface which
helps prevent scratches and abrasions
in which food particles can collect. It
also helps prevent build-up of mineral
deposits and will make future cleaning
easier.
• Apply a dab of Cleaner Conditioner
in the centre of each heated area to be
cleaned (For normal cleaning, start
with about 1/8 of a teaspoon (5ml) of
Cleaner Conditioner and apply more if
needed.
• Dampen clean paper towel and
clean unit. To remove more stubborn
soilage use a slightly dampened non-
impregnated plastic or nylon pad
specially made for non-stick utensils,
e.g. Scotchbrite, or Vileda non-stick
pan cleaners,
• Wipe off this application with
another clean, damp paper towel and
wipe dry.
