Using the Oven

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, and is supplied
with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.

It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

Hints and Tips

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way
as a boiling kettle. 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 discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

1

Cookware

 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand

temperatures of 250°C.

 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 performance.

The effects of dishes
on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright

shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium

with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

9

Using the Conventional Oven

When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single
level and 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.

How to Use the

F

Conventional Oven

1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required

cooking function ( ).

2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempera­ture.

THINGS TO NOTE

l

The oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.

l

The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show that temperature is being maintained.

Bottom oven element only

Hints and Tips

- The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower
the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the
shelf position.

- The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes
used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark,
heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning,
while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished
steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.

- Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.

- Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent
spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning
easier.

- Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage
will occur.

- For faster preheating use the fan oven function to
preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes
out, then swich the selector to the conventional oven
setting.

- Single level cooking gives best results. If you require
more than one level cooking use the fan oven function.

This function is particularly useful when blind-baking
pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be used to finish off
quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked
through.

The Cooling Fan

 The cooling fan will operate continually during cooking.

It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep
the controls cool. This is quite normal.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the
oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not
switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a short time.

The Fan Oven

The air inside the oven is heated by the element around
the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates
hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.

The advantage of cooking with this function is
energy saving through:

l Faster Preheating

As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven although
you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7
minutes on cooking times. For recipes which require
higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.

l Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking
chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by about
20-25°C for your own recipes which use conventional
cooking.

l Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf positions.
This means that batches of the same food can be
cooked in the oven at the same time. However, the
top shelf may brown slightly quicker than the lower
one. This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.

How to use the Fan Oven

F

1. Turn the oven function control knob to (ZBF 660 /

ZBS 663) - (ZBQ 665).

2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperature.

Things to note

 The oven light will come on when the oven function

control knob is set.

 The oven fan will operate continually during cooking.

 The thermostat control light will remain on until the

correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show the temperature is being maintained.

The cooling fan

During cooking the cooling fan will operate continually.
It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the
controls cool. This is quite normal.

NOTE

FO 0351

Hints and Tips

- Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spaced.

- When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.

- When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.

- 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 sizes
of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes 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, if necessary.
Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C
for your own conventional recipes.

- When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and
can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.

- The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the
oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not
switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a short time.

Grilling

Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed.
The grill pan handles must be removed from
the pan during grilling. Always use oven gloves

to remove and replace the grill pan handles.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when
removing it from the oven.

How to Use the Grill

F

1. Turn the oven control function knob on .

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required tem­perature.

3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking.

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.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as described
for the fan oven function.

How to Use the Inner Grill

F

Element

The inner grill provides quick direct heat to the central
area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill element for
cooking small quantities, it can help to save energy.

1. Turn the oven control function knob on .

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature.

3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food and follow the
instructions for grilling.

Hints and Tips

- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food
out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and
kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if
preferred.

- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
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.

- The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.

O

L

I

The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.

14

Defrosting

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
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.

How to Use Defrosting

 ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY

AFTER THAWING.

 Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when

ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.

 Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are

suitable for defrosting in this way.

Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.

(Mins)

Notes

Chicken 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Place the chicken on an inverted

saucer on a large plate. Defrost open
and turn at half time or defrost
covered with foil. Remove giblets
as soon as possible.

Meat 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Defrost open and turn at half time or

cover with foil

Meat 500 g. 90-120 20-30 As above

Trout 150 g. 23-35 10-15 Defrost open

Strawberries 300 g. 30-40 10-20 Defrost open

Butter 250 g. 30-40 10-15 Defrost open

Cream 2 x 200 g. 80-100 10-15 Defrost open (cream is easy to whip even

if parts of it are still slightly frozen)

Cake 1400 g. 60 60 Defrost open

The times quoted in the chart should be used as a guide only, as the speed of defrosting will depend on the kitchen
temperature. For example, the colder the ambient temperature, the longer the defrosting time.

Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.

External cleaning

Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little washing up liquid has been added.

To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass
panels avoid the use of the following:

 Household detergent and bleaches
 Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick

saucepans
 Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
 Chemical oven pads or aerosols
 Rust removers
 Bath/Sink stain removers

Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed
the glass panel may shatter.

Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven
is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy
water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.

DO NOT attempt to clean catalytic liners.

If the soilage has become set, after the oven has cooled
down, the following process will help to soften the splatters
to help make cleaning easier.

1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf positioned
in the lowest runner.

2. Add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the pan and
fill to about 12 mm. with boiling water from the kettle.

3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function knob on
fan oven and set the thermostat knob on 50°C.

4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat and allow
the fan oven to continue without heat for a further 5
minutes, when the temperature of the water will have
cooled down.

5. Carefully remove the pan of water from the oven and
use normal oven cleaners to clean away soil residues.

6. Leave a little of the soapy water to soak into any
burned on spillage on the floor of the oven for a longer
time if necessary.

Oven Shelves and Shelf
Supports

To clean the oven shelves and the shelf supports, soak in
warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a well
wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a
soft cloth.
The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning (see
diagram). Please, ensure the retaining nuts are secure
when refitting the shelf support.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the
panel shattering. Contact your local Service Centre
who will be pleased to advise further.

FO 0145

Care of catalytic liners (ZBS 663 ­ZBQ 665)

Catalytic liners destroy splashes of food and fats when
the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

To aid this process it is a good idea to run the oven for an
hour or two per week, without food, to ensure continued
good performance from the Catalytic liners.

Hints and Tips

 Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not

recommended. Damage will occur if soap
impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol cleaners and
any other abrasives are used.

 Slight discolouration and polishing of the Catalytic

surface may occur in time. This does not affect the
Catalytic properties in any way.

 Follow the recommendations given to keep oven

soilage to a minimum.

Cooking to reduce soilage

Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try
cooking to lower temperatures for an increased length
of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more
tender.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat;
potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking.
Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase
splashing and soilage.

It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin when
roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint
create excessive splattering during cooking, even at
normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.

Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing
onto the interior surfaces; removing the covering for the
last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning, if required.
Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this
method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through
before the outside is overbrowned.

Do use the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat from the
joint will be contained beneath the trivet and therefore
prevent it from splattering onto the 'Catalytic' liner.

17

Cleaning the hinged grill

This model has been fitted with a hinged grill element to
enable you to clean the roof of the oven easily.

Before proceeding ensure the oven is cool and
is disconnected from the electricity supply.

1) Undo the screws which holds the grill in place

F

(see diagram). When doing this operation for the
first time, we recommend using a screwdriver.

2) Then gently pull the grill downward to allow
access to the oven roof (see diagram).

3) Clean the oven roof with a suitable cleaner and
wipe dry before replacing the hinged grill element.

4) Gently push up the grill element into place and
firmly screw into place the holding nuts.

Ensure the grill holding nuts are firmly in place to
avoid the grill falling down when in use.

Replacing the Oven Light

Disconnect the appliance.

If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply with the
following specifications:

- Electric power: 15W,

- Electric rate: 230-240 V (50 Hz),

- Resistant to temperatures of 300°C,

- Connection type: E14.
These bulbs are available from your local Service Force

To replace the faulty bulb:

F

1. Ensure the oven is disconnected from the electrical
supply.

2. Turn the glass cover anticlockwise.

3. Remove the faulty bulb and replace with the new one.

4. Refit the glass cover.

5. Reconnect to the electrical supply.
