Building-in
It is important that the dimensions and materials of the surround or cabinet into
which the oven will be built are correct and that proper arrangements are made for a
continuous supply of air to the oven so it does not overheat.

Important
To ensure an efficient ventilation, it is
necessary to leave the vents provided at
the bottom of the oven clear.
Securing the oven to the cabinet
Fit the appliance into the cabinet recess.
Open the oven door and secure the oven
to the kitchen cabinet with six wood
screws which fit exactly the holes
provided in the oven frame (Fig. 3).
Cooling fan
The cooling fan is designed to cool the
oven housing and the components of the
oven itself.
The fan switches on automatically when
either of the oven control knobs are
turned on.
Cool air is drawn in through the vents at
the bottom of the oven to cool the oven
and housing by absorbing the residual
heat. This warm air is then blown out
through the venting grille incorporated in
the upper oven door handle machanism.

The lower oven ratings are as follows:

The oven has an easily accessible
terminal block which is marked as
follows:
Letter L Live terminal
Letter N Neutral terminal
Earth
The cable used must be of the three core
type with a min. cross section of
2.5 mm’. In order to connect it to the
oven it is necessary to remove the hatch
at the back of the oven to reach the
terminal block.
For direct connection to the mains
supply a two pole switch with a
minimum rating of 19 A and a minimum
distance of 3 mm between its contacts
must be fitted between the supply and
the appliance.
This switch must not break the yellow/
green earth cable at any point.
The appliance must be earthed.
Important
After installation and connecting, the
cable must be placed so that it cannot at
any point reach a temperature more than
50°C above the ambient temperature.
Before the appliance is connected check
that:
the main fuse and the domestic
installation can support the load;
the power supply is properly earthed;

The plastic film covering same external
parts can be removed by wiping with a

Other protective materials will burn off
if the controls of the ovens are turned to
MAX and then it is allowed to run empty
for 30 minutes.
This will also remove any unpleasant
smells.
The FM 15 consists of two ovens.
The upper oven is evenly heated
throughout. A fan in the back wall
distributes heated air round the food
during cooking so that everything cooks
in the same time regardless of where it
is placed in the oven or how much is
being cooked.
Foods of different types, provided they
require the same cooking temperature,
can be cooked together and there is no
possibility of any flavours or smells being
transmitted from one food to another.
This is the Zanussi cuisinair system.
Cooking can be manual or automatic
(with or without the programmer).
The programmer includes a digital clock,
a minute minder and controls by which
the upper oven can be set to come on
and go off unattended.
The lower oven is a conventional one and
contains a grill.
The grill control provides a variety of
heat settings.
The dials above each control knob show
when the oven is switched on, whilst the
indicator lights shown the behaviour of
the thermostat during cooking.

Using the upper
oven
As soon as the oven is switched on the
fan starts and runs until the oven control
is switched off again (Fig. 5).
The food should be put into the oven
before switching on, even when cooking
manually - the speed of heating up is so
fast that there is no need to preheat.
The oven shelves can be fully filled.
Most normal types and materials of
cooking utensils can be used.
During cooking the door should be
opened as little as possible to avoid heat
loss and so excessive electricity
consumption.
Cooking manually
When cooking manually ensure that the
programmer is not in operation
accidentally.
If this is not the case and you do not
want to use the automatic programmer,
return the control to the manual position.
Arrange the food in the oven, shut the
door and turn the oven control (Fig. 5) to
the required temperature setting.
When the control reaches (Y the oven
temperature light will come on, also an
internal oven light.
This setting is NOT a cooking position
but is intended for rapid thawing of
frozen food.
Positions from 50°C to MAX are cooking
positions and give a full range of
temperatures.
The oven temperature light will come on
until the oven has reached the correct
temperature; after that it will come on
and off showing how the temperature is
being maintained.
Fig. 6
Cooking automatically
The upper oven cooks automatically
when the programmer is set to switch it
on and off at the times given without
the need for anyone to be in attendance.
Most foods cook well automatically but
preference should be given to those
which will not be affected by the waiting
period before the oven comes on.
