For your safety
If you close the lid of the cooker while any of the hotplate
burners are lit the gas will go out. This is because it would be
dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed.
Always use the control to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid
cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is
closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is opened.

The grill
The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary
the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food
you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to
cook the food.
Heat control
The grill control has two heat settings.
The control knob turns to the right
from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to
'LOW'. Use the high setting for fast
cooking such as toast. Use the low
setting to cook thicker food such as
chicken after you have browned it on
the high setting.
Cooking positions
Most food should be cooked on the grid in
the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to
suit different thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes straight on the
grill shelf. This is useful when you are
browning the top of food such as cauliflower
cheese.
Preheating
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for
a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.

The grill
OVEN - GRILL
For your safety
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young
children should be kept away.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.

Putting food on the grid
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and
muffins towards the centre of the grid. If you
put food outside this area it may require
rotating during cooking.
Place food which needs a more gentle
heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms
towards the edge of the grid.
Arrange meat products and fish to suit
their thickness and how you like them
cooked.
To prevent excess fat splashing when you use the grill place the trivet in
the grill pan below the grill grid.
Grill shelf
You should use the shelf without the metal plate when grilling. For safety
the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf
completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift
it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge
raised, slot the shelf onto the runner, lower the front edge and slide the
shelf in.
To check the progress of the food when using the grill you should
withdraw the grill pan on the shelf to attend to food. After removing the
grill pan you can rest it on a heat resistant work surface if you need to.
Plate warming
When using the grill, you can use the shelf below the grill pan to warm
plates. Do not put plates on the shelf when the grill burner is turned on
and the grill pan is not in place. The heat from the burner will damage
the plates.

The grill

The grill pan and handle
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so
that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to
remove the grill pan handle during grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally
beneath the grill.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle
away from the cut out on the grill pan.
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered
from your local Zanussi Service Force Centre by quoting part number
311479800.

The hotplate

The hotplate
You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any
trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and
make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See
page 29 for more information.
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn to
the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and
then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the
heat by turning the control between
the highest and lowest settings.
These are shown as a large and a
small flame symbol.
Burner sizes
The hotplate has three burner sizes
to suit different types of cooking:
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large
pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for
everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for
simmering food such as soups and
stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The
base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").

For your safety
1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are
reaching across the hotplate.
2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than
pans which are warped.
3 Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause
the pan to tip.
4 Put pans on the centre of the burners.
5 Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
6 Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not
cover the pan with a lid.
Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,
leave it where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to
smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.
7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base
as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a
round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must
be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect
the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok
make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports.
Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok.
8 Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board.
this could damage the glass and reduce its strength.
