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.

To open the oven door, always catch the
handle in its central part (Fig. 4).
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.
Telescopic shelf supports (fig 6)
Mod. ZBS 869 Shelf level 2 is fitted with telescopic
shelf supports.
1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf supports
completely out, as shown in fig. 6.
2. Place the shelf or the grill pan on the telescopic shelf
supports, as shown in the diagram, then gently push
them all inside the oven.
Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely
inside the oven. This could damage the door
enamel and glass.
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.

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
temperature. 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.

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. Fig. 8

Cleaning and maintenance
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.
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.
