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
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used
for the first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a short while.

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
lThey should be fairly heavy duty
lThey should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVE smaller.
lThey 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.
f the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Zanussi Service Centre.

Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way
as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the oven when opening the oven door to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a
fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
 Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
 Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and underneath
browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and underneath
browning.
Hints and Tips
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully
open.
The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with
two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Using the Oven
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven
cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may become
hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven
gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not
be stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be taken
when removing these items from the drawer
whilst the oven is in use or still hot.

12
The air inside the oven is heated by the element around
the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates
hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:
l Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not
usually necessary to preheat the oven although you
may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes
on cooking times. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven
is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.
lLower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the
cooking chart. emember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
lEven Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same food
can be cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker
than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.
How to Use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperatu-
re.
THINGS TO NOTE
l The oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.
l The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
Using the Fan Oven
F
Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the shelves
are evenly spread.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place
dishes centrally on the shelves rather than several dishes
on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place
dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the oven
base, to allow air circulation around the food.
When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal trays
of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich cakes,
then they will be cooked in the same time and removed
from the oven together. When different sizes of trays or
types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes are cooked, they
will not necessarily be ready together.
The fan oven can be used to heat foods through without
thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls,
and other small pastry items. Use a temperature of 190-
200°C and allow 20-40 minutes (depending on the quantity
of food in the oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be prepared
to adjust the temperature by 10°C if necessary.
emember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C for
your own conventional recipes.
When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and
meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be
used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of
fat from soiling the oven interior.
The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate
or burner as this may cause the enamel to crack.

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which
could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.
How to Use Defrosting
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the FF
position.
Defrosting
 Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
 ALWAYS C K TH R UGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
 Frozen food should be placed in a single layer
when ever possible and turned over half way
through the defrosting process.
 nly joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.)
are suitable for defrosting in this way.
Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.
Hints and Tips
The times quoted in the chart should be used as a guide only, as the speed of defrosting will depend on the kitchen
temperature. For example, the colder the ambient temperature, the longer the defrosting time.

Grilling
Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed. The grill pan handles must be removed
from the pan.
How to Use the Grill
1. Turn the oven control function knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before
sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and
the shelf as necessary, during cooking.
During cooking, the thermostat control light will operate
in the same way as described for the fan oven function.
Hints and Tips
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food
out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and
kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if
preferred
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used.
- The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.
The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DIS ONNE T the cooker from the
electricity supply.
The Ho Top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage
can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
egularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using
warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To
keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can
be purchased from most hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob"
by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's
instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that
the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when next used.
Drying
Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates thoroughly
by switching on to a low-medium setting for a few
minutes.
Restoring
To maintain the appearance of your sealed hotplates apply
a little salt-free vegetable oil or restorative agent (i.e. "Collo
Electrol", or Minky Hotplate Cleaning Cloths) periodically.
To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a medium
setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Pour a very small
amount of salt-free oil onto a dry cloth or kitchen paper.
Apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface and wipe
off any excess. Heat the hotplate on a medium setting
for 1 minute.
Maintenance and Cleaning
To apply restorative agent: first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Apply a
very thin coating of Collo Electrol (using the applicator).
Heat the hotplate on a high setting for 2-3 minutes to
cure. Some smoke will occur, this is normal and nontoxic.
(NB: this product is a resorative agent not a cleanser. It
is available from hardware stores).

Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.
If the soilage has become set, after the oven has cooled
down, the following process will help to soften the
splatters to help make cleaning easier.
1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf
positioned in the lowest runner.
2. Add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the
pan and fill to about 12 mm. with boiling water
from the kettle.
3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function knob
on fan oven and set the thermostat knob
on 50°C.
4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat and
allow the fan oven to continue without heat for
a further 5 minutes, when the temperature of
the water will have cooled down.
5. Carefully remove the pan of water from the oven
and use normal oven cleaners to clean away
soil residues.
6. Leave a little of the soapy water to soak into
any burned on spillage on the floor of the oven
for a longer time if necessary.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water
and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. inse well and dry with a soft cloth.
F
Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
External cleaning
egularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little washing up liquid has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door
glass panels avoid the use of the following:
 Household detergent and bleaches
 mpregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans
 Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
 Chemical oven pads or aerosols
 Rust removers
 Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter.
f the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the
panel shattering. Contact your local Service Centre
who will be pleased to advise further.
