Frequently Asked Questions - ZKF780ITXB ZANKER

How to turn on and use the cooking zones of the Zanker ZKF780ITXB cooker?

Turn the rotary control corresponding to the desired zone to the required power level (1 to 9). A residual heat indicator lights up while the zone is hot. Use pans suitable for ceramic hobs, with a flat and clean bottom.

How to set the oven timer?

Press the Timer key (clock) then set the duration with the +/- buttons. Confirm by pressing again. The oven will stop automatically at the end of the set time.

What is the oven cleaning procedure?

For pyrolysis models, select the pyrolysis program (usually 2-3 hours). For catalytic models, wipe the walls with a damp cloth. Remove the guides and door if necessary for deeper cleaning.

What to do if a cooking zone does not heat up?

Check that the cooker is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Make sure the zone is set to a non-zero power level. If the problem persists, contact Zanker after-sales service.

How to activate child safety?

Press and hold the Lock key (usually represented by a padlock) for 3 seconds until the symbol appears. To deactivate, repeat the operation.

Are the built-in dimensions of the ZKF780ITXB cooker standard?

Yes, the built-in dimensions are typically 500 mm wide, 600 mm deep, and 850 mm high (adjustable with the feet). Check the technical data sheet in your manual for exact measurements.

What type of pan to use on ceramic hob zones?

Use flat-bottomed pans, preferably stainless steel, cast iron, or aluminum with a suitable base. Avoid glass, ceramic, or rough bases that could scratch the surface.

How to replace the oven light bulb?

First unplug the appliance. Remove the bulb cover (usually by turning or unclipping). Unscrew the defective bulb (often type G9, 25W) and replace it with an identical heat-resistant bulb (300°C). Refit the cover.

The oven door is locked during pyrolysis, what to do?

The door lock is normal during pyrolysis to prevent burns. Wait for the cycle to finish and complete cooling (the lock indicator goes off). Never force the handle.

Where to find spare parts for the Zanker ZKF780ITXB?

Warning! Refer to the Safety chapters.
Warning! The following instructions about installation, connection and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with standards and local regulations in force.

Gas Connection

It is necessary that the connection to the gas mains are carried out by means of an AGB tap. Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe in AGB (stainless steel)

in compliance with the regulation in force. If you use flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not come in touch with mobile parts or they are not squeezed. Also be careful when the hob is put together with an oven. The connection must be done according to regulation NBN D 51.003.

Important! Make sure that the gas supply pressure of the appliance obeys the recommended values. The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensive ramp by means of a threaded nut G 1/2". All the components shown in the figure have already been assembled in the factory. The appliance, before leaving the factory, has been tested in order to give you the best results.

A) End of shaft with nut
B) Washer
C) Elbow

Liquid gas

Use the rubber pipe holder for liquid gas. Always engage the gasket. Then continue with the gas connection.

The flexible pipe is prepared for apply when:

• it can not get hot more than room temperature, higher than 30^ ;
• it is no longer than 1500 mm;
• it shows no throttles;
  – it is not subject to traction or torsion;
• it does not get in touch with cutting edges or corners;
  – it can be easily examined in order to make sure its condition.

The control of preservation of the flexible pipe consists in checking that:

• it does not show cracks, cuts, marks of burnings on the two ends and on its full length;
  – the material is not hardened, but shows its correct elasticity;
  – the fastening clamps are not rusted;
  – expired term is not due.

If one or more defects are visible, do not repair the pipe, but replace it.

Important! When installation is complete, make sure that the seal of each pipe fitting is correct. Use a soapy solution, not a flame!

Injectors replacement

1. Remove the pan supports.
2. Remove the caps and crowns of the burner.

3. With a socket spanner 7 remove the injectors and replace them with the ones which are necessary for the type of gas you use (see table in "Technical Information" chapter).

4. Assemble the parts, follow the same procedure backwards.

5. Replace the rating plate (it is near the gas supply pipe) with the one for the new type of gas supply. You can find this plate in the package supplied with the appliance.

If the supply gas pressure is changeable or different from the necessary pressure, you must fit an applicable pressure adjuster on the gas supply pipe.

Adjustment of minimum level

To adjust the minimum level of the burners:

1. Light the burner.
2. Turn the knob on the minimum position.
3. Remove the knob.
4. With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw position.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with labeled point A (no text or symbols beyond label)

A) The by-pass screw

• If you change from natural gas G20/G25 20/25 mbar to liquid gas, fully tighten the by-pass screw in.
• If you change from liquid gas to natural gas G20/G25 20/25 mbar, undo the by-pass screw approximately 1/4 of a turn (1/2 of a turn for Triple Crown burner).

Warning! Make sure the flame does not go out when you quickly turn the knob from the maximum position to the minimum position.

Electrical connection

• Make sure that the rated voltage and type of power on the rating plate agree with the voltage and the power of the local power supply.
• This appliance is supplied with a mains cable and a plug.
• Always use a correctly installed shockproof socket.

- Make sure that there is an access to the mains plug after the installation.

- Do not pull the mains cable to disconnect the appliance. Always pull the mains plug.

- There is a risk of fire when the appliance is in connection with an extension cable, an adapter or a multiple connection. Make sure that the ground connection agrees with the standards and regulations.

- Do not let the power cable to heat up to a temperature higher than 90^ .

Make sure that you connect the blue neutral cable to the terminal with a letter "N" on it. Connect the brown (or black) phase cable to the terminal which has a letter "L". Keep the phase cable connected at all times.

Replacement of the connection cable

To replace the connection cable use only H05V2V2-F T90 or equivalent type. Make sure that the cable section is applicable to the voltage and the working temperature. The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2 cm longer than the brown (or black) phase wire.
