Electric Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 - 6
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates (Back right and left)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum
(6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then
adjusted to the required setting.
Rapid Hotplates (Front right and left)
The rapid hotplates will heat up more quickly than a
normal plate.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke
a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour
when used for the first time. This is quite
normal and will disappear after a few minutes.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are
given in the following table.

Hints andTips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
●They should be fairly heavy duty
●They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
●They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the plate.
This is particularly important when using pans for
high temperature frying or pressure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate
control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before you
finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed
on the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked
in well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature
which is more economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid
liquids being spilt onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot
electric plate. Always point pan handles
inward or over the work surface next to the
hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a
pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Zanussi Service
Centre.

2. THE TIMER
IMPORTANT
The timer can be used to time a set cooking period.
At the end of the cook time the timer will
automatically switch off the oven if in use.
The timer gives an audible reminder at the end of any
period of cooking up to 23 hours and 59 minutes.
To set, press button (1) and the display will read
0 . 00
,see Fig. 6.
Release button (1) and press and hold button (2). The
display will count up in one minute intervals until the
interval to be timed is reached, e.g. 30 minutes, see
Fig. 7. If necessary, press and hold button (1) to
achieve the correct time interval.
The timer will begin to count down once set. At the
end of the timed period, the timer will click,
switching the oven OFF if in use.
An audible signal will sound for up to 2 minutes.
The cookpot symbol will flash and the time of day
will show in the display. See Fig. 8.
To stop the sound press button (1). The display will
stop flashing and show the time of day, e.g. 15.00.
The cookpot symbol ( ) will go out. See Fig. 9. If
using the oven it will come on again once button (1)
has been depressed. When cooking is complete
remove food and turn OFF oven temperature control.
3. TO CANCEL THE TIMER
Press and release button (1). Then press and hold
button (1) and the display will count down in one
minute intervals to
0 . 00
. See Fig. 10. Release
button (1).
After a few seconds the cookpot symbol will flash and
the time of day will show in the display. See Fig. 11
If the oven is in use this will switch OFF after a few
seconds.
To reset, press button (1) and (2) together. See Fig. 12.
4. THINGS TO NOTE
1. The time of day must be set before the oven will
operate. There will be a few seconds delay before
the oven switches on.
2. The timer function controls the main oven only
and will switch the oven OFF at the end of a timed
period. This function is useful if you want to begin
cooking now and have the oven switch OFF
automatically.
3. If you have used the timer to time food cooking in
the oven you will need to reset the timer before
the oven can operate again.
