Gas hob
The control panel incorporates knobs to
operate the four gas burners.
To light a worktop burner, turn the
relevant knob (Fig. 1) to the large flame
symbol which corresponds to the
maximum setting.
Depress the ignition pushbutton ( ,^ ) on
the facia panel. Once the burner is alight
adjust the flame as required. The smaller
flame symbol is a simmer setting.
It is important that pans with a base
fitting the size of the burner be used so
that the flame does not spread beyond
the bottom of the pan.
Important
Be very careful when frying food in hot
oil or fat as the overheated splashes
could easily flare up.
Fig. 1
Safety cut off
Your cooker is fitted with a safety cut off
device which is actuated when the lid is
lowered. This cuts the electricity and gas
supply to the whole appliance, and
prevents the lid being lowered onto the
burners when they are still on. When the
lid is raised again, the electricity supply
to the oven is automatically restored. The
gas supply to the hob must be restored
manually by depressing the pushbutton
on the rear left hand comer of the hob
surface.
There are two important points to
remember; firstly the lid must be in the
raised position for any part of the cooker
to function. Secondly, you must
remember to return all the controls to
their off positions when you have finished
using the cooker. If you have for instance
left the oven on, when the lid is raised it
will automatically come on again.
Obviously if you manually restore the gas
supply and any of the burner controls
have not been returned to their off
positions, the gas will escape.

Using the oven (Multifunction)
The multifunction oven makes it possible
to carry out various types of cooking,
depending on the nature of the food, its
firmness and volume.
All cooking must be done with the oven
door closed.
The oven light remains on with all
cooking functions.
The oven control knob symbols are listed
together with a brief description of the
functions (a more detailed explanation of
the functions and how to use them are
given in the «Art of Cookery» book).
Oven control knob (Fig. 2)
By turning this control knob, you can
select any of the following functions:
o Oven light, this will come on
whenever the oven is in use.
e Traditional cooking, uses the top and
bottom element; this function will
enable you to use your favourite
recipes without having to adapt the
temperatures. It is necessary to pre¬
heat the oven in this instance.
Q Top oven element only, enables you
to finish off dishes on the top only.
Q Bottom oven element only, enables
you to finish off dishes on the
bottom only.
(3 Inner grill element only.
0 Inner and outer grill elements.
® Ventilated grilling, gives a spit roast
effect to all joints. Using this system
eliminates the need to turn food
during cooking, although large food
items may require to be turned half
way through the cooking time.
Note: The grill cannot be used at the
same time as the oven.
@ Cuisinair cooking; this fan ducted
system will allow you to roast or
bake at the same time with very
little flavour transference, and on
any shelf. For this function the
circular element and fan behind the
back wall of the oven are used.
§ Defrost setting (N.B: This is NOT a
cooking position). This position is
intended to assist thawing of frozen
foods.

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 temperature;
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.

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 this is a
permanent failure it is necessary to
contact the Zanussi Network Service
Engineer.
