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 e ectrica supp y and ca
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.
Do not p ace any pots or pans on the hob
disp ay, as this cou d damage the e ectronic
devices of the hob.
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 1 -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
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.
F1. Switch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking .
2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
3. Open a window for ventilation.
4. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the fan cooking
and grill function for approximately 5-1 minutes.
 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. Level 2 and 4 from the
bottom are supplied with special telescopic
shelf supports (see next page).
The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.
 Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

NORMAL SHELF
ANTI-TIP SHELF
metal tabs
Your oven is supplied with one normal shelf for use on
the telescopic shelf supports and one anti-tip shelf.
The anti-tip shelf has four small metal tabs on its frame
to prevent it from sliding out from the shelf supports.
Using the Oven
Using the ceramic hob 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.

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, a ways 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 discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Hints an Tips
Telescopic shelf supports
The oven shelf supports are provided with telescopic shelf
supports at level 2 and 4 from the bottom.
1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf
supports completely out, as shown in the
diagram.
2. Place the shelf or the dripping pan on the
telescopic shelf supports, as shown in the
diagram, then gently push them all inside the
oven.
Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely inside
the oven. This could damage the door enamel and
glass.
The anti-tip she f is not designed for use on
the te escopic she f supports.
P ease, do not use the anti-tip she f on the
te escopic she f supports, as it wi be unstab e
and may fa .
F
Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 25 °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 3 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.

12
Using the Conventional Oven
When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single
level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require
extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top
browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This
form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without
the fan in operation.
How to Use the
Conventional Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required
cooking function ( ).
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperatu-
re.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g.
lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-baking
pastry. It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans
to ensure the base pastry is cooked through.
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 temperature is being
maintained.
The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the
shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf
position.
The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes
used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy
or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven
glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect
the heat away and give less base browning.
Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even
browning.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent
spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning
easier.
Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the
oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.
For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat
the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then
swich the selector to the conventional oven setting.
Single level cooking gives best results. If you
require more than one level cooking use the fan
oven function.

How to Use Defrosting
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF
position.
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.
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:
lFaster 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.
l Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart
at page 15. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 2 -25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
l Even 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 tempera-
ture.
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 temperature is being maintained.
Using the Fan Oven & Defrosting function
Runner 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 19 -
2 °C and allow 2 -4 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 1 °C if necessary.
Remember to reduce temperatures by about 2 -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 shou d not be placed on a heated hotplate
or burner as this may cause the enamel to crack.
About Defrosting:
 Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
 ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
 Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
 Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.

Grilling
Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed. he 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 on 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.
- 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 gri e ement is contro ed by the thermostat.
During cooking, the gri cyc es on and off to
prevent overheating.

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Cleaning the Ceramic Hob
Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven
sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or
sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents such as Vitroclen and ceramic
hob scrapers are available from department stores.
Cleaning after each use
Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp
cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper.
Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth,
and Vitroclen.
Special problems
If a chemical cleaner proves inadequate Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.
l when darks stains occur If the use of a scraper and a ceramic hob cleaner proves
unsuccessful, your hob surface may have been damaged by
using unsuitable cleaning agents, or by pan bases with a
scouring effect. This will not impair the efficiency of your
ceramic hob.
l when metallic discolourations appear Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable cleaning
on the cooking zone agents have been used. The discolourations can only be
removed with considerable effort, using a ceramic glass
cleaner.
l when the surface shows scratches These may be caused by scraping or melted on ob ects and
cannot be removed. This will not impair the efficiency of your
ceramic hob
Stain removal
ight metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be
removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob
cleaning agent such as Vitroclen when cool.
Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content
must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this type
of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause
irreparable damage to the ceramic surface. When the
surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and
Vitroclen.
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the
ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the
manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.
Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones.
Ensure any residues are wiped off before the cooking
zones are used again.

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.
F1. 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 5 °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.
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.
C eaning materia s
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.
Externa c eaning
Regularly 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
Impregnated 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.
If 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.
Cleaning the Oven
Replacing the Oven Light
If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply with the
following specifications:
- Electric power:25W,
- Electric rate: 23 -24 V (5 Hz),
- Resistant to temperatures of 3 °C,
- Connection type: E14.
These bulbs are available from your local Force Service
Centre.
To replace the faulty bulb:
1. Ensure the oven is isolated from the electrical
supply.
2. Turn the glass cover anticlockwise.
3. Remove the faulty bulb and replace with the new
one.
4. Refit the glass cover.
5. Restore the electrical supply.

Grease Filter
To prevent a build-up of fats on the fan impellor, the grease
filter must be fitted by clipping it over the vents in the
back panel.
To clean the grease filter
When the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by
pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward, and
wash carefully.
The grease filter should be cleaned after every use. The
filter may be washed in a dishwasher on a 65°C wash. If
the filter is heavily soiled, place the filter in a saucepan
of water with approximately 1 teaspoon of automatic
washing powder or dishwasher powder. Bring to the boil
and leave to soak for approximately 3 minutes or longer
depending on the degree of soiling. Ensure the solution
does not boil over as it could mark your hob.
Rinse filter in clear water and dry.
Remember to refit the fi ter before using the oven
again.
Oven Shelves and Shelf
Supports
To clean the oven shelves and the shelf supports, soak
in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a
well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry
with a soft cloth.
The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning
(see diagram). Please, ensure the retaining nuts are
secure when refitting the shelf support.
When cleaning the shelf supports, take care not
to remove the lubricating grease behind the
telescopic runners. This is meant to ensure their
good operation.
