Frequently Asked Questions - ZCM620X ZANUSSI

How do I light the hob burners?

Turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to maximum and push the electric ignition button (marked with a spark). Adjust flame as needed. If the burner does not ignite, turn the knob to zero and try again.

What should I do if the oven does not come on?

Ensure the oven is in manual operation (press the manual button) and both a cooking function and temperature are selected. Also check that the mains supply is switched on and the fuse has not blown.

How do I set the timer to switch the oven off automatically?

Set the oven function and thermostat knobs to required settings. Press the duration button and turn the setting knob to set cooking time. At the end the oven will switch off and an alarm sounds. Press the alarm off button to stop it.

Why is there steam and condensation on the oven door?

Steam is normal when cooking. When it contacts a cool surface like the oven trim it condenses. Regularly wipe away condensation. Leave dishes inside no longer than 15-20 minutes after cooking to reduce buildup.

Can I use the fan oven without preheating?

Yes, the fan oven heats quickly so preheating is usually not necessary, but for items like bread, pastries, and souffles preheating gives best results. Add an extra 5-7 minutes to cooking times if not preheating.

How do I clean the oven cavity?

Clean the enamel cavity while still warm using a soft cloth with warm soapy water. For stubborn soilage, place a pan with boiling water and washing-up liquid on a shelf, run the fan oven at 50°C for 15 minutes, then let stand 5 minutes before cleaning with oven cleaner.

What size pans should I use on the hob?

Use pans with flat bottoms matching burner size: rapid burner 160-240 mm, semi-rapid 120-220 mm, auxiliary 80-160 mm. Smaller pans cause flame spread and handle overheating.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Unscrew the old bulb and replace with a high-temperature bulb (300°C, 15W, E14, 230-240V). Screw in securely and reconnect power.

The gas ring burns unevenly – what can I do?

Check the burner crown and cap are correctly replaced after cleaning. Ensure the main jet is not blocked and the burner crown is free of food particles.

Is the cooker suitable for LPG?

Yes, this model can be converted from natural gas to LPG (butane or propane) by a CORGI registered installer. It requires replacing injectors and adjusting bypass screws. A conversion kit and new rating plate are needed.

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 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).

Burner minimum maximum diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 160 mm.	240 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid)	120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80	mm. 160 mm.

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 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.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Zanussi Service Centre.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill √ function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

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.

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.

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

Cookware

• Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand temperatures of 250^ .
• 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 30cm× 35cm (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.

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

• The oven light will come on when the oven 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

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 switch the selector to the conventional oven setting.

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

Cooking Chart

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.

Rabbit	170°-180°C	20 min per 1/2 kg (1 lb) and 20 min over

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. 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.

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.

Hints and Tips

• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to prevent drying out during 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.

Food	Defrosting time (Mins)	Standing time (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.

Grilling must be carried out with the oven door closed. The grill pan handles must be removed from the pan.

How to Use the Grill

1. Turn the oven control function knob to ☐
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 thermostat control light will operate in the same way as described for the fan oven function.

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.

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 anti-scratch 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 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.

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.

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

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

3. 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.

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

5. 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.

Oven lamp replacement

Disconnect the appliance.

Unscrew the lamp and substitute it with another suitable for higher temperature (300°C) having the following characteristics:

Tension: 230-240V (50Hz)

Power: 15W

Convection: E14

Positioning the Cooker

Caution:

Some soft or badly fitted floor coverings can be damaged when the cooker is moved across their surface for cleaning. It is advisable to ensure that the floor covering in the area below the cooker is either securely fixed so as not to ruck up when the cooker is moved or, if preferred, removed.

Installation

Fig. 1

The appliance must be installed in accordance to the type X (standard EN 60335-2-6).

Therefore the appliance can not be installed beside furniture higher than the cooker worktop.

This cooker must only be installed by a CORGI registered installer.

1. Positioning the Appliance (Fig. 1)

Note A:

The appliance is designed to be flush fitted with 2mm clearance at each side to allow for it to be pulled forward for cleaning etc.

Note B:

The hotplate side trims should be flush with the cabinets and must not be below. Adjustable levelling feet at the front and rear are provided on the base of the appliance. Adjustment is obtained by rotating in or out, the feet at the front or rear of the appliance from the underside of the appliance, with the drawer removed.

A spirit level should be placed on a cake tray on one of the shelves to confirm that the appliance is correctly levelled.

The levelling feet fitted to the appliance will achieve a height to hotplate trims of 900mm-0 + 10.

Fig. 2

Fitting the Stability Bracket (Not supplied)

If the cooker has to be installed with a flexible supply pipe, it is necessary that a stability device is fitted.

(See safety Requirements: Page 25).

If a stability bracket should be fitted by the installer, these instructions should be read in conjunction with the leaflet packed with the stability bracket.

Place cooker in its intended position and level cooker.

Mark off 295mm (11 ^1/2 ") from the right hand side of the cooker as shown, this is the centre line of the bracket fixing.

Draw a line 100mm (4") from the front edge of the levelling feet (see Fig. 2a) and remove cooker from its position. Mark off 480mm (19") back from this line on the centre line of the bracket to locate the front edge of the lower bracket.

Fix lower bracket (with two fixing holes) to the floor, then measure height from floor level to engagement edge on back of cooker, dimension 'A' of Fig. 2.

Assemble upper bracket to lower bracket so that underside of bracket is dimension 'A' +3mm (1/8") above floor level. Re-position cooker and check that top bracket engages into cooker back to a depth of 75mm (3"), as shown in Fig. 2.

Should the stability bracket currently installed not allow the cooker to stand correctly, ask the installer to replace it with the correct type.

Connecting to Gas

This cooker is designed to be installed with an appliance flexible connection. Connection is made to the RC 1/2 (1/2" B.S.P.) threaded entry pipe located just below the hotplate level on the rear right-hand side of the cooker. Check for gas soundness after connecting the gas supply.

The gas bayonet connector must be fitted in the shaded area indicated in the diagram. Take into account that it must be possible to pull the cooker forward sufficiently. The hose must not get caught on the stability bracket.

Electrical connections

Any electrical work required to install this cooker should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person, in accordance with the current regulations.

THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

This cooker is designed to be connected to a 230-240V 50Hz AC electrical supply.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the cooker rating plate. The rating plate is located on the oven frame.

The cooker is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord incorporating a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse, a 13amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or the earth symbol 12 or coloured green and yellow.

— Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured black.
— Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured red.

Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

Permanent Connection

In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the cooker and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electric regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.

Ensure that the cooker supply cord does not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.

Commissioning

When the hob has been fully installed it will be necessary to check the minimum flame setting. To do this, follow the procedure below.

- Turn the gas tap to the MAX position and ignite.

- Set the gas tap to the MIN flame position then turn the control knob from MIN to MAX several times. If the flame is unstable or is extinguished follow the procedure below.

Procedure:

Re-ignite the burner and set to MIN. Remove the control knob.

The adjustment screw is located down the centre of the gas tap control shaft.

To adjust, use a thin bladed screwdriver and turn the adjustment screw until the flame is steady and does not extinguish, when the knob is turned from MIN to MAX. Repeat this procedure for all burners.

Pressure Testing

Remove left hand pan support and front left burner cap and crown.

Fit manometer tube over the injector.

Turn on the burner gas supply and ignite another burner supply.

The pressure reading should be nominally 20mbar and must be between 17 mbar and 25mbar.

Turn off the burner supplies.

Conversion from Natural to LPG Gas

It is important to note that this model is designed for use with natural gas but can be converted for use with butane or propane gas providing the correct injectors are fitted. The gas rate is adjusted to suit.

Method

• Ensure that the gas taps are in the 'OFF' position
• Isolate the hob from the electricity supply
• Remove all pan supports, burner caps, rings, crowns and control knobs.
• With the aid of a 7mm box spanner the burner injectors can then be unscrewed and replaced by the appropriate LPG Gas injectors (see table: page 24).

With the aid of a thin bladed screwdriver completely tighten down the by pass adjustment screw, which is located down the centre of the gas tap control shaft. Upon completion stick the replacement rating plate near the gas supply pipe.

IMPORTANT

The replacement/conversion of the gas hob should only be undertaken by a CORGI registered engineer.
