Use and care
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 thfre is no
possibility of any flavours or smells being
transmitted from one food to another.
Cooking can be manual or automatic
(with or without the programmer).
This includes a digital clock, a minute
minder and the dials and knobs by which
the oven can be set to come on and go
off unattended.
Indicator lights on the control panel
show when the oven is switched on, and
the behaviour of the thermostat during
cooking. A light comes on inside the oven
when it is switched on and remains on
until the oven goes off.
The panels which form the upper oven
walls and roof are finished in a catalytic
material which makes them virtually
self-cleaning. The material changes fat
splashes into a powder which is easily
wiped off.
The bottom oven is a conventional one
and contains a grill. The grill control
provides a variety of heat settings.
The internal dimensions are:

When the appliance is first
installed
One the appliance is installed the
protective materials which were put on in
the factory must be removed. The plastic
film covering same external parts can be
removed by wiping with a cloth dipped
in methylated spirit
Other protective materials will bum off
if the controls in the ovens are turned
to MAX and they are allowed to run
empty for 30 minutes.

TT • As soon as the oven is switched to any
Using tile upper oven setting between 50°C and 250”C the fan
^ ' starts up and runs until the oven control
is switched off again.
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 but a
space of at least one free shelf runner
should be left between loaded shelves.
All type and materials of cooking utensils
may be used. During cooking, the door
should be opened as little as possible.
8

Cooking manually
When cooking without using the time
control function, knob 2 on the
programmer must be turned until the
«open hand» symbol on dial 6 is in line
with the pointer at its left (see fig. 6).
Arrange the food in the oven, shut the
door and turn the oven control (see fig. 5)
to the required temperature setting.
When the control reaches ^ the
indicator light will come on, also the
internal oven light. This setting is NOT a
cooking position but is intended for
gentle thawing of frozen food.
Positions from 50°C to 250°C are cooking
positions and give a full range of
temperatures. At these
temperatures the light will come on until
the oven has reached the correct
temperature; after that it will come on
and go off showing how the temperature
is being maintained.
Cooking automatically
The upper oven cooks automatically when
the programmer is set to switch it on and
off at given times 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.
The programmer includes a twelve hour
digital clock, a minute minder and the
time control function.
9

To set the digital clock
Pull out knob 1 and turn it either way
until the correct time shows on the clock,
then release the knob. The clock will now
run continuously.
To use the minute minder
This is a simple timer and cannot be used
at the same time as the automatic
function. It can be set to ring at any time
up to 60 minutes by turning knob 1
clockwise until the required time is in
line against the pointer of dial 3.
To turn off, turn knob 1 clockwise until
the «Bell silenced# symbol lines up with
the pointer. REMEMBER - the minute
minder does NOT turn off the oven.
To use the automatic control
The clock is a twelve hour clock -
afternoons and evenings are as on all
twelve hour clocks, not continuing from
1200 to 1300 etc. The waiting (delay) time
can be set for up to 12 hours and the
maximum cooking time possible is
3 hours 45 minutes.
To set the control, first put in the food
and shut the oven door. Turn knob 2
clockwise until the finishing time on dial
5 is in line with the pointer.
Then turn the same knob anticlockwise
until the cooking time needed on dial 6
is in line with the pointer.
Switch the oven control to the.
appropriate temperature setting.
The programmer will bring the oven on
and turn it off as it has been asked to do.
When switched off the indicator lights
will go off and 0 will show on dial 6.
It is wise to return the control to manual
after each automatic cooking by turning
dial 6 until the «open hand# symbol is
in line with the pointer.
Here is an example of the programmer
in action:
The meal has to be ready at 7.00 pm
and needs cooking for 2 hours.
With knob 2, turn until 7 on dial 5 is
in line with the pointer and then turn it
the other way until 2 on dial 6 is in line
with the pointer. Turn the oven control
to the required temperature setting.
The oven will come on at 5.00 pm and
go off at 7.00 pm.
10

Preheat the oven, arrange the food in the
oven, shut the door and turn the oven
control (see fig. 7) to the required
temperature setting. When the control
reaches € □ the indicator light will come on,
also the internal oven light which will
remain on during the whole cooking time.
Positions from 50°C to MAX are cooking
positions and give a full range of
temperatures. At these
positions the indicator light will come on
until the oven has reached the correct
temperature, after which it will go on and
off showing how the temperature is
being maintained.
When the oven control reaches Q
the bottom element comes on and a
temperature of max 240°C can be
obtained. When the oven control reaches
El , the top element comes on and a
temperature of max. 300°C can be
obtained. During cooking, the door should
be opened as little as possible.
11
Using the lower oven

Using the grill
The grill is located in the lower oven.
As with the ovens, the grill control can
be set to a number of different heats
(fig. 8). At MAX the element stays on
continuously to give the highest degree
of heat
Foods to be grilled are placed on the
wire grid in the grill pan which can be
curved either upwards or downwards to
give the required distance from the
element The pan is then placed in the
required runner position.
Important: Because the grill element is in
the top of the lower oven, the door must
be left fully open when grilling.
This means that the escaping heat from
the grill can overheat the rest of the
appliance above, so to prevent this
happening it is essential that the heat
deflector provided to protect the rest of
the appliance is in place before the grill
is switched on. The deflector is put in
place as shown below.
To use the grill
Open the door and put the heat deflector
in position. Turn the oven control (see
fig. 7) to B and then set the grill
control to the heat setting required.
A little use and practice will soon show
which is the best for the individual user.
When grilling is over remove the heat
deflector and shut the door.
12

Cleaning
After every meat roasting wipe down the
catalytic oven panels using a damp cloth,
as soon as they have cooled down.
This removes the powdery remains of
fat splashes.
After use wipe the rest of the appliance
over with a cloth wrung out in liquid
detergent. Do not use abrasive scourers
or steel wool on any stainless steel,
painted or enamelled surfaces. Always
wait until the oven is cool before
cleaning - this is particularly important
where the glass oven door is concerned.
From time to time it will be necessary to
do a more thorough cleaning. When the
operations described below are carried
out the appliance should first be switched
off from the electricity supply.
To remove the fen filter (upper oven)
This filter protects the fan from fat
splashes; it should be cleaned after
roasting has taken place. Unscrew the
two finger nuts securing it to the back
lining and lift out Wash carefully, replace,
and tighten the finger nuts.
To remove and clean the catalytic panels
in the upper oven
If any build-up of deposit appears on the
catalytieally finished panels they should
be removed for a more thorough cleaning.
To do this:
slide out the oven roof;
unclip the shelf runners by pushing up
and lift off the sides;
lift the side panels off their support pins;
remove the screws holding the back
panel in position and lift it out.
Wash the panels with very hot water and
a detergent using a soft cloth.
NEVER use any abrasive cleaners or
cloths, or steel wool on the catalytic
surfaces. Non catalytic surfaces in the
upper oven should be cleaned in the same
way as the lower oven.
13

Cleaning the lower oven
The oven interior is made of a strong
vitreous enamel and therefore can be
cleaned with any recognised oven cleaner.
Important: Please take care to follow the
cleaner manufacturer's instructions
precisely. Care must be taken to ensure
that the oven cleaner does not come into
contact with the aluminium and painted
surfaces of the appliance.
Power cuts
Should the electricity supply fail for any
reason remember to reset the digital
clock to the right time when the power
comes back. Make sure that the minute
minder is set to «Bell silenced# or the
clock will not turn.
14

What happens if
something goes wrong
Important:
If the ovens do not come on when
cooking manually, first check that the
fault is with both ovens - it may be that
if it is the upper one only that is affected
there is a simple answer - the
programmer should be set so that the
«open hand» symbol on dial 6 of the
programmer (see fig. 6) is in line with
the pointer.
If this is not the answer then:
- check that the appliance is connected
in correctly;
- check that the switch from the supply
to the appliance is ON;
- replace the fuse in the socket, where
present, with another of the appropriate
rating;
- check that the fuse in the consumer
unit (fuse box) is intact
If after all these checks the appliance still
does not work, call your local Zanussi
service centre listed in the telephone
directory. It helps to jot down file address
and telephone number in the space below.
