Introduction
This gas oven has been designed and manufactured to all the
necessary British Standards. It also carries the C.E. mark. The cooker
complies with European Council Directive 90/396/EEC.
It is important that you understand how to use and care for the oven
properly before you use it for the first time.
We have written this booklet with your safety in mind. Read the
booklet thoroughly before you use the oven. Keep the booklet in a safe
place so that anyone who uses the oven can read it. Pass the booklet
on with the oven if you give or sell it to someone else.
We have included several drawings to show the right and wrong way
of doing things.
The right way will have a smiling face by it.
A sad face shows something is wrong.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cookers as this may
invalidate the guarantee.

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 knob to turn off a burner. Do not use
the lid as a 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.

Grill/second oven
The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you
cannot use them both at the same time.

1 Open the door.
2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to the large flame
symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately.
When the burner has lit release the button.

Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of
gas may cause the flame to spread.

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
There is only one position for the
grill shelf.
Most food should be cooked on
the grid in the grill pan. You can turn
the trivet over to suit different
thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes
straight on to 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.

children should be kept away.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.

Positioning food on
the grid
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and
muffins towards the centre of the grid.
Place food which needs a gentle heat,
such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards
the edge of the grid.
Arrange meat, meat products and fish to
suit their thickness and how you like them
cooked.
The grill pan and handle
The grill pan should be fitted with the handle
for grilling.
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.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the
pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill
burner.
For storage, the handle should be removed
from the grill pan. 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\6.

The grill
For your safety
Ensure the handle is correctly located. The grill pan handle
should not be removed when grilling.

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 28 for more information.
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn
anticlockwise 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
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you
are reaching across the hotplate.
Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable
than pans which are warped.
Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip.
Put pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pan handles so they cannot be
accidentally knocked.
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.
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.
Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping
board. This could damage the glass and reduce
its strength.
