Controls

Push-Pull control knobs

The oven is provided with push-pull control knobs (Fig.

control panel when the oven is not working.

Oven function control knob (Fig. 2)

The oven function control knob can have the following
symbols and functions:

Oven Light - The oven light will be on
without any cooking function

Conventional cooking - The heat comes
from both the top and bottom element,

ensuring even heating inside the oven.
Top heating element - The heat comes

from the top of the oven only.
Bottom heating element - The heat

comes from the bottom of the oven only.
Inner grill element only - can be used for

grilling small quantities.
Grill turnspit - The turnspit can be used

for either spit roasting meat or for kebabs
and smaller pieces of meat.

Double Grill - The full grill element will be
on.

Thermal Grilling - This function offers an
alternative method of cooking food items,

normally associated with conventional
grilling. The grill element and the oven fan
operate together, circulating hot air around
the food. When using this function,

select a maximum temperature of
200°C.

Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or

roast and bake simoultaneously using any
shelf, without flavour transference.

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
cooking. 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 kitchen
cabinets properly, after which it switches off automatically.
NOTE: The fan may run up to 45 minutes after cooking
has been completed. Leaving the door ajar will lessen
the cooling time.

When the oven is first installed

The oven will work only if the time of day has
been set with the electronic programmer.

Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash
the oven accessories.

Once the oven has been installed:

)

a) set the thermostat knob to MAX (230°C);
b) switch the oven function control knob to conventional

cooking ( );

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 cooking function.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down,
then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water.
