General information
RATING PLATE
These numbers can be found on the rating plate on
the lower front frame of the cooker upon opening
the oven door.
The oven must be protected by a suitable rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the oven is
given on the rating plate.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVENS
We suggest that you run all the elements for a
short period, to burn off any residue from their
surfaces.
During this period, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. It is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
Select the Fan ducted and conventional
oven programmes. Select a temperature of
170°C for approximately 30 mins. on each
programme.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated, it produces steam in the
same way as boiling a kettle. The oven is vented to
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 caused by a fault on the oven.
To prevent any discolouration, regularly wipe
away condensation any soilage from surfaces.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be
placed directly against the grid covering the fan at
the back of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation
of heat and may affect the performance. Advice on
the effect of different materials and finishes of
bakeware is given in "Hints and Tips" in the
appropriate oven section.
(See page 20)
MEAT PAN AND GRID
When grilling and roasting, food can be placed on
the grid in the pan. Fat and meat juices will drain
into the base and can be poured off and used to
make gravy.
Important notes:
1) The meat tin should not be placed on a hotplate
as this may cause the enamel to crack.
2) Do not line the meat pan will aluminium foil.
THE COOLING FAN
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the
oven is in use, and switches off when cooking is
completed.
During the initial period, the cooling fan may cycle
ON and OFF. This is quite normal.
It may run on after the oven or grill is switched off
to keep the controls cool.
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the cooker
down completely before switching off at the wall
prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
work.
NOTE: The action of the cooling fan will depend
on how long the oven or grill has been used and at
what temperature settings, it may not operate
where the grill or oven has only been used for a
short time.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR
DISPLAY
This indicates whenever the oven or grill is
switched ON. The display also indicates when the
set temperature has been reached.
If the display indicator does not operate as the
instructions on page 12-13-14-15, the controls
have been incorrectly set. Depress the "OFF"
button and reset following the instructions for the
required setting.

MEAT PROBE (Upper Oven Only) (Fig. 4)
The meat probe is a feature which will control the
cooking of meats by informing you of the exact
temperature at the centre of the meat. It is not
necessary to weigh the meat, the sensor determines
the cooking time. However, the cooking time is
obviously influenced by the cooking temperature.
The probe consists of a skewer like sensor at one
end of a heat resistant cable, and a plug at the
other end.
First raise the meat probe socket cover (1), which
is located in the top of the left hand side of the
oven and plug the probe connecting pin into its
socket (2).
Insert the probe sensor into the centre of the meat,
taking care to avoid touching any bone or pockets
of fat as this will give a false temperature reading.
Place the meat, in a suitable tin, into the oven
cavity.
As poultry is a difficult shape with a great deal of
bone it is difficult to register a correct finish
temperature, please ensure it is cooked thoroughly.
To select temperature probe press button 5, the
display will show the pre-set temperature of 60°C
and the C symbol will flash for about 8 seconds.
Then select the finished internal meat temperature
by pressing buttons 10 or 11.
Not all the cook functions allow the use of the
probe. If you have selected an incorrect function,
the probe symbol will flash red. For a correct
function, the symbol will flash white.
Select the required cooking function by pressing
button 9.
The probe will register 60°C to start with then
continue to register the internal meat temperature
throughout the cooking period and convey the
information to the programmer. This will give a
visual read-out as cooking continues, and switch
off the oven when the selected temperature has
been reached.
Press button 2 to turn the oven off.
Open the oven door and remove the probe from
the meat, then remove the probe from the socket.
Do not submerge the meat probe in water, just
wipe with a clean damp cloth.
Remove the meat probe after use.
Do not leave the meat probe in the oven when
cooking other items.
If the oven has just been previously used and
the interior is hot, it may not be possible to use
the meat probe.
If the interior temperature exceeds the meat
probe max temperature, upon selection the
Technical assistance display will appear.
Remove the meat probe from the oven and
after a few minutes the Technical assistance
display will disappear.
You can either cook the meat without the probe
or wait until the interior temperature of the
oven has dropped to below the meat probe pre-
set temperature.

with this function are:
Faster Preheating
Becausethefanovenquicklyreachestemperature,it
isnotusually necessarytopreheattheoven although
you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7
minutesoncookingtimes. Forrecipeswhichrequire
higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the charts
or remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-
25°C for your own recipes which use conventional
cooking.
Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same food
canbecookedintheovenatthesametime.However,
the top shelf may brown slightly quicker that the
lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes (see Fig. 5).
With this type of oven, it is possible to cook by using fan ducted, conventional, thermal grilling and
grilling functions. We have also added two extra functions Pizza and Bread Proving.
The following pages contain an explanation of each type or cook function and methods of using them.
Further guidelines can be found in your Zanussi Cookbook.

HINTS AND TIPS
Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spread.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
Whentheovenisfull,youmayneedtoallowslightly
longer cooking time.
Ashelf maybeplaced onthe floorofthe oven.Place
dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the
oven base, to allow air circulation around the food.
When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time and
removed from the oven together. When different
sizesof traysortypes offood, e.g.biscuits andcakes
are cooked, they will not necessarily be ready
together.

The fan oven can be used to heat foods through
without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies,
sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a
temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40
minutes (depending on the quantity of food in the
oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for
oven temperatures given in the cooking charts, but
be prepared to adjust the temperature by 10°C if
necessary. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own conventional recipes.
Only experience will enable you to determine the
proper settings for your personal cooking needs.
The temperatures are intended as a guide only. It
may be necessary to increase or decrease the
temperature to suit your individual requirements.
*The items marked by an asterisk should be performed in an oven pre-heated for 10 minutes.
If you need to cook items on more than one shelf, place them on the levels between brackets.
The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.

FAN DUCTED - CONVENTIONAL OVEN
If at the end of a cooking time you want heat in
the lower or upper part of the oven, select the
required function.

CONVENTIONAL OVEN

single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for
dishes which require extra base browning such as
pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and
hotpots which require extra top browning also cook
well in the conventional oven. This form of cooking
gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in
operation.
HINTS AND TIPS
The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution.Toincreasebasebrowningsimplylower
the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise
the shelf position.
The material and finish of the baking traus and
dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base
browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium
orpolishedsteeltraysreflecttheheatawayandgiven
less base browning.
Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.

DEFROST COLD FAN
The defrosting function allows you to defrost frozen
foods. The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the
oven.Thisincreasestherateatwhichdefristingtakes

This function is particularly suitable for delicate
food which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream
filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other
yeast products.
Care must always be taken when henadling foods in
the home. Always follow the basic rules of food
hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross
contaminationwhendefrosting, preparing, cooking,

Important
All grilling must be carried out with the oven
door closed and the grill pan handle removed
from the pan.
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the
foodoutofthefatsandjuices.Foodsuchasfish,liver
and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan,
if preferred
Adjustthe gridand grillpan runnerposition toallow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking.
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimisesplashing.Brushleanmeatsandfishlightly
with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling
meats
When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used with the grid in its 'high' position
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes
before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf as necessary, during cooking
The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.

THERMAL GRILLING
Use of thermal grilling
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of
cooking food items normally associated with
conventional grilling.
The grill element and the oven fan operate
alternately, circulating hot air around the food.
The need to check and turn food is reduced.
Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells
in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven
door closed. With the exception of toast and rare
steaks, you can thermal grill all the foods you
would normally cook under a conventional grill.
The lower part of the oven can be used to cook
accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes
and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie,
lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and
browned on the top using the thermal grilling
function.
NOTE:
Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells
in the kitchen and is carried out with the main
oven door closed, and with the grill pan handle
removed.
