Operation

INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by
a registered CORGI installer, and in
accordance with existing rules and
regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the
second section of this manual.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it
is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.

WHEN THE COOKER IS FIRST INSTALLED

Once the cooker has been installed, it is
important to remove any protective
materials, which were put on in the factory.

Controls

Hob burners

To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position. At the same time
push the electric ignition button which is marked with
a little spark.. Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.

When switching on the mains, after

i

installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should
only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the
size of the burner used (see table).

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the pan, causing the
handle to overheat.

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down

i

the flame so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.

Using the Oven

10

• 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

i

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

i

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 discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

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
underneath browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,

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

Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is located underneath the oven
cavity.

During cooking the storage drawer may
become hot if the oven is on high for a long
period of time, therefore flammable materials
such as oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons
etc. should not be stored in the drawer.

Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be
taken when removing these items from the
drawer whilst the oven is in use or still hot.

11

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

☞

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

function control knob is set.

).

●

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.

Hints and Tips

i

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.

12

Single level cooking gives best results. If you

i

require more than one level cooking use the fan
oven function.

Using 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 advantages of cooking with this function are:

✓

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.

✓ Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the
chart at page. 15. 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 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

☞

1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

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.

Hints and Tips

i

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.

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

A shelf may be placed on the floor of the 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 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 by 10°C 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 or burner as this may cause the enamel to
crack.

16

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

☞

1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF
position.

• 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

Hints and Tips

i

- 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.

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

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
cooker from the electricity supply.

The Hob Top

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left
to cool.

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the
following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is

recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

Pan Supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing
them by hand, take care when drying them as the
enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges.
If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner.

The pan support of this cooker is fitted with anti­scratch rubber feet.

These feet are dishwasher proof and should not be
removed when cleaning the pan support.

If the rubber feet become detached from the pan
support re-fit as per diagram.

Anti-scratch rubber feet can be obtained from your
local Zanussi Service Force Centre.

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning.

Wash the burners taps and crowns using hot soapy
water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A
well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can
be used with caution, if the marks are particularly
difficult to remove.

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Oven

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

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 non­stick 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.

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.

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.

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
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.

and set the thermostat

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

To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water
and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft
cloth.
