highest safety level, and avoid small children to be
exposed to the heat when the appliance is operated,
it is possible to fit a special ptotection device to the
oven door. This device can be purchased in our
Service Force Centres, specifying the relevant code
(35791) and the Product No. shown on the rating
plate.

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.

Ceramic ho cooking zones
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant control
knob clockwise to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 3
0 - OFF
3 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of cooking zones:
2 norma cooking zones (back eft and front
right)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (3)
for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then
adjusted to the required setting.
2 doub e circuit cooking zones (back right and
front eft)
The back right and front left cooking zones have two
heating elements.
- To switch on the smaller circular cooking zone, turn
the relevant control knob clockwise to the required
heat setting.
- To switch on both heating elements, turn the control
knob clockwise to maximum heat setting (3) then
turn the knob further to nearly reach the "0" symbol.
You will hear a "click" and the wider cooking zone
will switch on.
Then turn back the knob to position 3 and adjust
it to the required heat setting.
Please consider that the two heating elements will now
operate together, giving a higher power output than a
normal cooking zone.
Residual heat indicators
The hob is fitted with four residual heat indicators
corresponding to each cooking zone.
The corresponding indicator will remain on until the
temperature falls below 30° C, even after the cooking
zone is switched off.
When switch on a cooking zone, a short buzzing
may be heard. This is quite normal and does
not affect the hob operation in any way.

Using the ceramic glass hob
Ceramic glass surface
The glass is hard, and has been tempered to withstand
heat, cold and temperature shocks. But like all glass it
is sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the ceramic glass
surface.
If scratches or cracks are noticed disconnect
the cooker from the electrical supply and call
you nearest Zanussi Service Force Centre.
Keep all objects and materials which can melt
away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics,
aluminium foil.
Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks
containing sugar. If anything of this nature
accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic
surface it must be scraped off immediately while
stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the
surface.
Energy consumption
To save energy, you should . .
- use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat
bases.
- place pots and pans in position before switching on
the cooking zone.
- wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.
- switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the
end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the
residual heat.
- use the residual heat of the cooking zones for keeping
food warm or for melting.
- position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zones.
Saucepans and frying pans
Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than
the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10-15
mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.
Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat
bases.
The bases should always be clean and dry. Cook with a
lid in place.
Check that the bases of utensils are smooth and
undamaged; bases with burrs and sharp edges will
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking
surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by
lifting them, and not by sliding.
Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave
behind metallic discolorations which can only be removed
with difficulty or sometimes not at all.

Before the First Use of the Cooker
Using the ceramic ho for the
first time
The cooking surface should be cleaned before use to
remove any traces of the production process.
Wipe the ceramic surface and frame with a damp
cloth using warm water to which a little washing
up liquid has been added, and wipe dry.
Heating up for the first time
To check the cooking zones, briefly switch each
one on.
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the oven, before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
FlSet the electronic programmer to manual
function.
lSwitch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking .
lSet the thermostat control knob to MAX.
lOpen a window for ventilation.
lAllow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the fan cooking
and grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

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.
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

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 base browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
