The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of
malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply
to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Zanussi
Service Centre. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

The cooling fan
The cooling fan is designed to cool the walls of the oven
and the components of the oven itself.
The fan switches on automatically after a few minutes of
coo ing. Warm air is blown out through the aperture near
the oven door handle. When the oven is switched off, the
fan will remain on in order to cool the oven and itchen
cabinets properly, after which it switches off automatically.
NOTE: The fan may run up to 45 minutes after coo ing
has been completed. Leaving the door ajar will lessen
the cooling time. FO 2259
Fig. 4

Before coo ing for the first time, carefully wash
the oven accessories.
Once the oven has been installed:
a) set the thermostat nob to MAX (250);
b) switch the oven function control nob to conventional
coo ing ( );
c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes;
d) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Repeat this operation for the grill and fan coo ing function.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down,
then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soa ed in warm
soapy water.
FO 2161
Fig. 5
To open the oven door, always catch the
handle in its central part (Fig. 5).
When the oven is first installed
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. The shelf positions are
counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
 Do not place coo ware directly on the oven base.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way
as a boiling ettle. The oven vents allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always 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.

Cookware
 Use any oven proof coo ware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
 Ba ing trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the bac of
the oven, or placed on the oven base.
 Do not use ba ing trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12
in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
Hints and Tips
The effects of dishes on cooking
results
Dishes and tins vary in their thic ness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce coo ing and underneath
browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stic interior and coloured exterior and dar ,
heavy utensils increase coo ing and underneath
browning.

Using the oven
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control nob to the relevant symbol
() and set the thermostat nob on the required tempe-
rature.
If you need more heat from the bottom of the oven, turn the
oven function control nob to (bottom heating element
only).
Fan cooking
Turn the oven function control nob to the relevant symbol
() and set the thermostat nob on the required tempe-
rature. The fan behind the bac panel circulates heated air
into the oven.
If you need to coo more than one dish in the fan oven at
the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (Fig. 7). If you are coo ing only
one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this
will give you better results.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control nob to the relevant symbol
and set the thermostat nob on the required temperature.
With the setting on the "double grill" function, you will
obtain even heating on the whole surface of the dish.
When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and
always place them on the oven grid. The shelf level
depends on the thinc ness of the food.
Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with
some water in it, to avoid smo e and unpleasant smells.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control nob to the relevant symbol
() and set the thermostat nob on the OFF position
(symbol : l). The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven.
 The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof ba ing
trays, oven dishes, etc.
 Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of the
oven and damage the oven enamel.
 Carefully supervise coo ings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing
or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smo e. Fig. 7
Always cook with the oven door closed
Hints and Tips on Cooking
Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping
pan in the first position from the bottom with some water
in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on
the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature coo ing (between 150 and 175 °C). If you
need to coo red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently coo ed in the inside), a higher tempera-
ture (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Ca es usually need a medium temperature coo ing,
between 150 and 200 °C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when coo ing ca es or ba ing. Once the
coo ing has been started, eep the oven door closed
during all the coo ing time, and chec the coo ing results
through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill
function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore,
you need to adjust the coo ing level depending on meat
or fish's thic ness. Always remember to place the dripping
pan in the lower position with some water in it.

Cleaning and maintenance
Fig. 9 FO 0288
The Oven Door and its gasket
Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to remove
it from the oven.
Proceed as follows:
a) open the oven door completely;
b) find the hinges lin ing the door to the oven (Fig. 9);
c) unloc and turn the small levers located on the two hinges
(Fig. 9);
d) handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides, then
slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-closed;
e) gently pull the oven door off its site (Fig. 9);
f) place it on a steady plan.
Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a softh cloth
only. Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door,
following the procedure in reverse.
The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a gas et
placed round the edge of the oven cavity.
 Periodically check the condition of this gas et. If necessary,
clean it without using abrasive cleaning products.

If the gas et shows to be damaged, call you local Service
Centre. Do not use the oven until it has been repaired.
The Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is
still warm. It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft cloth
soa ed in warm soapy water after each use. However, from
time to time, it will be necessary to do a more complete
cleaning, using a proper oven cleaner.
In case of particularly tough stains, you can use stainless
steel cleaning products or some warm vinegar.
If cooking fruits, some over-heated natual acids can
squeeze and settle on the oven enamel, causing stains
quite difficult to remove. This could affect the enamel
brightness, but it will have no consequence on the
oven performances. To avoid these stains to be burnt
out during the next coo ing, carefully clean the oven
cavity after all fruits coo ings.
General Cleaning
Before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance
work, always disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply, and allow it to cool down.
 When using spray cleaning products, be careful not to
spread them on the heating elements or on the thermostat
sensor.
 Never use harsh abrasives, steel wool or cleaners with
bleach, as they could damage the enamel and the oven
door glass.
Grease Filter
When coo ing meat, the grease filter must be fitted over the
oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the bac panel. This
will prevent a built-up of fat on the fan impellor. Do not use
abrasive materials to clean the seal. The grease filter is
dishwasher proof.
When coo ing is completed and the oven has cooled down,
remove the filter by pushing the protruding tongue on the
filter upward. (See Fig. 8) Wash the filter after use using
warm soapy water.
Fit the grease filter only when roasting.

cabinet with four wood screws, which fit the holes
provided in the oven frame (Fig.14).
When installing an electric plate hob over the oven, the
hob's electrical connection and the oven's one have to be
carried out separately, for security reasons and to let the
oven be ta en off the unit easier, if necessary.
The following instructions are meant to a qualified
technician, in order to allow him carry out the
installation in compliance with the rules in force.
The building-in and the electrical connection fo the
appliance must be carried out by a qualified and
authorized technician only.
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 will withstand a temperature increase.
A correct installation will have to ensure a proper protection
against contact with electric parts or merely functionally
isolated parts.
