ZANUSSI
USE & CARE
MANUAL

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 disapointment 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.

Before Use
Record the model and serial numbers on
the back of this leaflet.
Please ensure that any protective film and
all packaging has been removed from the
cooker before switching on.
Allow all the heated areas to run for a
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.
To return the cooker to manual operation,
see page 18.
This appliance complies with the Radio
Interference requirements of EEC
Directive 82/499/EEC.

The Ceramic Hob
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 modern 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.

The Ceramic Cooking Panel
The smooth ceramic glass panel is non-
porous and durable. Beneath are
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 conventional element controls have
infinitely variable settings, and are
marked from 0-5.
They 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 slid 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.
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. Never 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
aluminum foil 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.

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
l;
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.
. 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 experienceed 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
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.
Leave the pan 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 Network Service Centre.
(Details in Service leaflet supplied).
from overheating and can be caused by
the use of an unsuitable pan (see page 9).
11

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
removeable 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
12
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.

Operation of the Main Fan Oven
l.
The oven door should be opened
by pulling the handle at the top
and closed by a gentle push.
. 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 allows
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.
. 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.
. Generally, lower oven
temperatures are required when
cooking in the fan oven than
conventional ovens.
. 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.
. 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, stéam 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 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. A 1!/ykg (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°) when the chicken
will be thawed in 2-21/ 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 1s
short, the casserole may be reheated
without thawing first. Place into a cold
oven set at 180-190°C for 13/4-21/y
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.

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.
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.
Most foods are cooked at lower
temperatures in the small second
oven than conventional ovens.
. 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.
Do not line any part of the
compartment with aluminium foil.
The oven is vented through the
back of the cooker. Under certain
conditions when moisture 1s
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.

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 1.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, vitreous 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.
@lf possible, wipe up food spills
and splatters from adjacent heating
areas before using areas for
cooking.
. 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.
