Lighting the cooker ZCG 7900X Lighting the cooker The system works by means of an electric spark system. Details about the plug are given on page 35. Hotplate To light 1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hotplate when the lid is down. 2. Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button.
Grill/second oven The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you cannot use them both at the same time. Grill To light: 1 Open the door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button. TOP OVEN/GRILL 3 Leave the grill door open when you are using the grill.
Lighting the cooker ZCG 7900X Main oven To light: 1 Open the oven door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. The oven will light automatically. MAIN OVEN 3 Now turn the control knob back to the gas mark you want. 4 Close the oven door. MAIN OVEN If there is an electrical power failure (such as a power cut) you cannot use the main oven. You can use the second oven. To turn off any burner 1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the off position.
The grill The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food. For your safety You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit. Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away.
The grill ZCG 7900X Positioning food on the grid Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid. Place food which needs a gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid. Arrange meat, meat products and fish to suit their thickness and how you like them cooked. The grill pan and handle The grill pan should be fitted with the handle for grilling.
The hotplate You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 28 for more information. Heat control The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol.
The hotplate ZCG 7900X For your safety 1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners. Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid. Front Left Do not leave a pan unattended.
Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. 2 Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. 3 Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. 4 Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. 5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly.
The ovens ZCG 7900X The ovens Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods that need different temperatures all at the same time.
Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough Shelf on base air to circulate around the food. For safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out.
The ovens ZCG 7900X Roasting For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes. If you use a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).

The electronic timer Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400. Cookpot symbol In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure. We have supplied a plastic card as a quick reference when setting the timer. Selector Bell symbol Setting knob If the oven is switched off on the wall, or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the main oven.
The electronic timer ZCG 7900X When you are using the countdown you can make the clock show the time of day by turning the selector knob to 'Manual'. The bell symbol will stay on to remind you that the countdown is set. At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell symbol will go out. Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob to 'Time Setting'. Then turn to 'Manual' and the time of day will show in the display.
3 How long will the food take to cook? Turn the selector knob to 'Cook Time'. Then turn the setting knob until the length of time you want the food to cook shows in the display. The maximum cooking time is 10 hours. 'Auto' will show in the display. 4 What time do you want the food to be cooked by? Turn the selector knob to 'End Time'. Turn the setting knob until the time the oven is to switch off shows in the display. The cookpot ( ) will go out.
The electronic timer ZCG 7900X Hints and tips for automatic cooking 1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are familiar with the timer operation. 2 If the oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using for automatic cooking. 3 You should leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking starts. 4 Do not leave food to stand in the oven when it has finished cooking.
Slow cooking Please note: There is no slow cook on the second oven. The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook setting. This makes sure that the temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.
Slow cooking ZCG 7900X Soups, casseroles and stews l l l Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Vegetables l l l l Cut into small pieces. Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish. Place vegetables under meat in casseroles. Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook setting.
Care and cleaning For your safety For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas cooker clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire. Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot. Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap powder except those recommended in this booklet.
Care and cleaning ZCG 7900X Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive like 'Jif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'. After cleaning the cooker parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back. When replacing hotplate burner parts 1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the crown on to the body).
The ovens The sides and back of your ovens are coated in a special material which helps to keep itself clean. Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special finish. Do not overfill dishes or they will boil over. Do not put dishes too high in the oven. If you do they may stick to the oven roof. Cover your roasting tins with foil. This will prevent fat splashing. Use a roasting tin which is just large enough for the meat and potatoes. This will help to reduce fat splashing.
Care and cleaning ZCG 7900X Main oven cleaning cycle You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the oven in good condition. The type of cooking you do will affect how often you need to follow the cycle. If you do a lot of roasting and very little other baking you should follow the cleaning cycle once a week. If you do very little roasting you will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2-3 weeks. To carry out a cleaning cycle: MAIN OVEN 1. Remove the oven shelves. 2.
Top oven cleaning cycle 1. Remove the oven shelf. TOP OVEN/GRILL 2. Set the oven to mark 5 for at least 30 minutes. MARK 5 TOP OVEN/GRILL 3.Turn the temperature up to mark 7 for 2 hours or until the oven is presentably clean. Some staining will remain. MARK 7 Do not use any cleaning agents or scrapers on the inside of the oven. Do not wash the special finish. General Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelf and the oven door while they are still slightly warm.
Care and cleaning ZCG 7900X Cleaning between the outer and inner door glass. You can remove the glass from the oven and grill doors if you need to. Note: For top oven door it is important not to open the door when the glass is removed because the door is lighter and it will spring shut. To remove the outer glass 1 Open the door so you can get at the two cross head screws on the top of the door. Note: Open top oven door slightly to access screws. 2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver.
Cleaning The Door Glass To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: Household detergents 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 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.
Installation ZCG 7900X Positioning The diagram shows how close to the cooker cupboards, shelves, curtains and so on can be fitted. Look at the diagram and carefully read the instructions to make sure your cooker is fitted safely. If you are in doubt your installer will give you advice. Do not fit any materials which may catch fire, for example wood or curtains behind the cooker. Base units which are higher than the hotplate must be 100mm away.
General information For your safety Do not block any of the cooker vents. Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil. Don't let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such as kettle flexes trail over any part of the cooker. Moving your cooker You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you move the cooker. The floor covering under the cooker should be securely fixed so it does not ruck up when you move the cooker across it.
General information ZCG 7900X If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the plug. If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the cooker which must be put right. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the cooker and tell your installer.
