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
maxinium setting.
Depress the ignition pushbutton ( ) on
the facia panel. Once the burner is alight
ac^ust 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.

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.

Safety cut-off switch
Do not tamper with or attempt to actjust
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
I’esult in injury. Should you find the
switch not functioning correctly, contact
your local authorised Zanussi Service
Centre.

Using the oven (Multifunction)
The multifunction oven makes it possible
to carry out various types of cooking,
depending on the nature of the food and
its 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:
Oven light, this will come on
whenever the oven is in use.
s Traditional cooking, uses the top and
bottom element for single shelf
cooking; 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.
0 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.
Select a max-temperature of 225°C.
Note: The grill cannot be used at the
same time as the oven.
Caution
The appliance must never be left
unattended whilst grilling.
@ Cuisinair cooking; this fan ducted
system will allow you to roast or
bake at the same time mth 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.
Caution
Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuit
pans or aluminium foil on the oven
bottom. This could cause a heath build-up
which would affect the baking results
and damage oven enamel.
