24 hour Clock and Timer The electronic timer can be used to programme the main oven only. The electronic timer can indicate the time of day and automatically operate the oven. Before the oven can be operated, the time of day must be set on the electronic timer. Cookpot symbol In case of loss of power, all the settings (time of day, set program or program in operation), will be cancelled.

Press button time setting knob until the required cooking duration is displayed. Our diagram shows the timer set for 1 hour 10 minutes.
Before the First Use Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the oven. Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal. ☞ 1. Set the electronic timer to manual function. 2. Switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking . 3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX. 4. Open a window for ventilation. 5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes.
i 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.
Using the Fan Oven (Main Oven only) 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.
Cooking Chart - Fan Oven This chart is intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit your individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.
i 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. 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.
Defrosting (Main Oven only) i Hints and Tips 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.
Using the Lower Oven The Lower Oven can be used for conventional cookings or grilling. ☞ How to Use the Conventional Oven When using this setting, heat comes from both the top and bottom elements. This allows you to cook in 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.
i Hints and Tips There should always be at least 2.5 cm (1") between the top of the food and the heating element. This gives the best cooking results and allows room for yeast mixtures to rise, Yorkshire puddings, etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally below element. Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
Grilling (Lower Oven only) Grilling must be carried out with the oven door closed. The grill pan handle must be removed from the pan during grilling. Always use oven gloves to remove and replace the grill pan handle. Ensure that you support the grill pan when removing it from the oven. ☞ How to Use the Grill 1. Turn the oven control function knob on . 2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required temperature. COOKING CHART Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat and not on its weight.
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.
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.
Catalytic liners (optional kit) Catalytic panels can be fitted on the side walls of the main oven cavity to allow an easier cleaning Please ask your local Service Force Centre for detailed information. 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.
Cleaning the hinged grill (Lower Oven) The lower oven 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 isolated from the electricity supply. ☞ 1) Undo the screw which holds the grill in place (see diagram beside). FO 0781 2) Then gently pull the grill downward to allow access to the oven roof (see diagram beside).
If something goes wrong If the oven is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks, before contacting your local Zanussi Service Centre. SYMPTOM ■ The oven does not come on SOLUTION ◆ Check the oven is in manual operation and that both a cooking function and temperature have been selected. ◆ Check the oven is wired in properly, and the socket switch or the switch from the mains supply to the oven are ON.
