Frequently Asked Questions - ZKB7429DX ZANKER

How do I set the time of day?
Press button repeatedly until the 'Time of day' pilot lamp flashes. Then press + or - to adjust. Wait 5 seconds to confirm.
How do I use steam cooking?
Fill the water tank (max 1 L) until the green 'Water tank full' light comes on. Turn the function knob to the steam symbol, set temperature between 140°C and 220°C. Place food in ovenproof dishes on a shelf. Always close the door.
Why is the 'Cleaning cycle' light on?
It indicates that limestone has built up in the water tank. Drain the tank, then fill with a solution of 50-60 g citric acid in 800 ml water. Let it sit for 60 minutes, then run the steam oven at 140°C for 20-25 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
How do I clean the oven interior?
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm soapy water while the oven is still warm. For stubborn stains, use a proper oven cleaner or stainless steel cleaner. The oven door can be removed for easier cleaning (see manual). The grease filter should be cleaned after every use, either by hand or in a dishwasher at 65°C.
What should I do if the oven does not heat up?
Check that the function and thermostat knobs are set correctly. Verify the appliance is plugged in and the mains switch is on. If still not working, consult the troubleshooting guide or contact your local Service Centre.
How do I replace the oven light bulb?
Disconnect the power. Twist the glass cover anticlockwise and remove it. Replace with a 15W/230V, E14 bulb rated for 300°C. Refit the cover and restore power.
Can I cook with both conventional and steam simultaneously?
No, the steam function is a separate mode. However, the conventional, fan, and grill modes can be used independently. The oven is not designed for simultaneous steam and dry heat.
How do I set a delayed start?
Use the 'Cooking duration' and 'End of cooking' functions together. First set the cooking duration, then set the desired end time. The oven will automatically start and stop at the programmed times.
Why is there water in the oven cavity?
Too much water may have been poured into the tank. Turn the oven off, wipe the cavity dry with a sponge. Ensure you do not exceed 1 liter when filling.
Is the oven door removable?
Yes. Open the door fully, unlock the hinge levers, then half-close and gently lift the door off. Clean with warm water and a soft cloth. Refit by reversing the procedure.

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 Service Centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

The Cooling Fan for the Controls

This oven is provided with a cooling fan, meant to keep the front panel, the knobs and the oven door handle cool. This fan may run on after the oven or grill is switched off, until a normal temperature is reached.

When the oven is first installed

ZANKER ZKB7429DX - When the oven is first installed - 1

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

The oven will work only if the time of day has been set (please read the relevant instructions).

Once the oven has been installed:

a) set the thermostat knob to MAX (250);
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.

Safety when cooking

ZANKER ZKB7429DX - Safety when cooking - 1

Always cook with the oven door closed.

  • Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven.
  • The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250^ . Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking trays, oven dishes, etc.
  • Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a heat build-up which could affect the performance of the oven and damage the oven enamel.
  • Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if overheated.
    For the same reason, be careful when placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.

Grease Filter

To prevent a build-up of fats on the fan impellor, the grease filter must be fitted by clipping it over the vents in the back panel. When the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward, and wash carefully.

The grease filter should be cleaned after every use. The filter may be washed in a dishwasher on a 65°C wash.

Hints and tips about steam cooking

ZANKER ZKB7429DX - Hints and tips about steam cooking - 1

- Don't cover the pans or pots. This would not allow steam to come in contact with the food.

  • You can also place food directly on the oven shelf, as shown in Fig. 11. In that case, always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant smells.
  • If you need to open the oven door and check the food, always remember to switch off the steam cooking function by turning the function control knob on symbol. After having checked it, turn back the function control knob on symbol to make the steam function operate again.

natural_image Line drawing of a bed inside an incubator with a circular vent and bed, no text or symbols present

Steam can condense and produce water droplets on the oven door glass. This is quite normal and is not caused by fault of the oven. We recommend you to wipe away condensation after all cookings.

Accessories for steam cooking

Depending on models, a special accessory kit is supplied with the appliance. This kit is meant to allow a wider range of steam cookings, especially for fish, vegetables, etc.

The accessory kit includes:

  • a diet cooking double dish, provided with a special mould to allow a steam injector to be fitted to the dish (Fig.12);
  • a small shelf meant to be inserted inside the double dish to prevent food to lay on the dish surface;
  • two different steam injectors, to be used as shown in figures 12 and 13 after being fitted to the exhaust pipe which is supplied with the appliance.

The diet cooking double dish (Fig. 12) is particularly recommended to cook vegetables, as it allows you to keep their original taste and nutrition properties.

The direct steam cooking system (Fig. 13) will give the best results with poultry. The long steam injector provided with holes on its surface must be inserted inside the joint and makes steam cook the internal part, while the outside is gently browned by the traditional heating elements. The injector holes must not be covered: for this reason the injector must be inserted into the empty cavity inside the joint, as shown in Figure 13.

Traditional, fan and grill cookings

Conventional cooking

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol (☐) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.

If your dish need more heat from the top or from the bottom adjust the shelf level as required (see Fig. 14).

The Fan Oven

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol

(2) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.

The fan situated behind the back panel circulates heated air into the oven.

If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third position from the bottom (See Fig. 14).

If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give you better results.

Defrosting

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol

( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position (symbol : ●).

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the rate at which defrosting takes place.

Grilling

Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol

( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.

Place the oven shelf as shown in Fig. 15.

i Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat

You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base.

White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 °C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher temperature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is recommended.

Hints and Tips on baking

Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking, between 150 and 200 °C.

A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommended when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass.

Hints and Tips on grilling

If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them.

In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness.

Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it.

Cleaning and maintenance

General Cleaning

ZANKER ZKB7429DX - General Cleaning - 1

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work, always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, and allow it to cool down.

  • When using spray cleaning products, be careful not to spread them on the heating elements or on the thermostat sensor.
  • Never use harsh abrasives, steel wool or cleaners with bleach, as they could damage the enamel and the oven door glass.

The Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a more complete cleaning, using a proper oven cleaner. In case of particularly tough stains, you can use stainless steel cleaning products or some warm vinegar.

ZANKER ZKB7429DX - The Oven Cavity - 1

If cooking fruits, some over-heated natural acids can squeeze and settle on the oven enamel, causing stains quite difficult to remove. This could affect the enamel brightness, but it will have no consequence on the oven performances. To avoid these stains to be burnt out during the next cooking, carefully clean the oven cavity after all fruits cookings.

The Oven Door and its gasket

Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to remove it from the oven.

Proceed as follows:

a) open the oven door completely;
b) find the hinges linking the door to the oven (fig. 16);
c) unlock and turn the small levers located on the two hinges (fig. 16);
d) handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-closed;
e) gently pull the oven door off its site (fig. 16);
f) place it on a steady plan.

Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a soft cloth only.

Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door, following the procedure in reverse.

The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a gasket placed round the edge of the oven cavity.

  • Periodically check the condition of this gasket. If necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning products.
  • If the gasket shows to be damaged, call you local Service Centre. Do not use the oven until it has been repaired.

Replacing the Oven Light

Ensure the electricity supply is switched off before carrying out this operation.

The oven bulb has to comply to these features:

a) resistant to temperatures of 300 °C;
b) electric rate: 230 V - 50 Hz;
c) electric power rate: 15 W;
d) connection type: E 14.

To replace the bulb, proceed as follows (Fig. 17):

a) push in and turn the glass lid anticlockwise;
b) remove tha faulty bulb;
c) replace it with a new one;
d) refit the glass lid;
e) switch on the electricity supply.

Cleaning the steam generator

Cleaning the water tank

Just like in any appliance fed with water (e.g. the iron), is it absolutely normal that limestone residues form in the water tank.

After having used the oven for steam cooking several times, the limestone residues that settle inside the water tank can cause a reduction of the steam.

If the red pilot light that indicates the need of a cleaning cycle comes on, this means that a certain quantity of limestone has settled in the water tank and that a thorough cleaning of the steam generator is necessary.

ZANKER ZKB7429DX - Cleaning the water tank - 1

In that case proceed as follows:

  • Set the water tank exhaust-pipe ready for use. Fit the connector with hexagonal nut (Figure 18, letter "A") to one of the edges of the pipe.
  • Open the oven door (Fig. 19) and fit the connector (A) into the exhaust-valve (C) located in the lower left hand corner of the oven cavity frame.
  • Place the free edge of the pipe into a vessel, then turn the pipe connector "A" anticlockwise to open the exhaust-valve. Water will flow out the water tank.
  • When water stops flowing out the water tank, turn the pipe connector clockwise to close the exhaust-valve.

ZANKER ZKB7429DX - Cleaning the water tank - 2

Warning! - The connector "A" has not a block fitting. Take care this connector doesn't slip off the pipe during the water tank exhaust procedure.

- After the water tank has been drained, melt two spoonful of citric acid (about 50-60 grams) into 800 cc. of water.

Citric acid is a natural substance, which looks like white small grains of sugar. It is normally used in food industry and can be purchased in drugstores, wine shops or chemist's shops.

  • Pour the citic acid and water solution into the water tank drawer, as previously explained.
  • Fit the connector "B" to one of the edges of the exhaust-pipe, then insert the connector "B" into the steam injector (Figure 20, letter "D"). Place the free pipe edge in a vessel, to collect the limestone residues.

- Let the citric acid and water solution stay into the water tank for about 60 minutes, with the oven cooled down.

- After 60 minutes, switch on the oven by turning the function control knob on the "STEAM COOKING" function (symbol: ☐ and set the thermostat knob on 140°C.

- After about 20-25 minutes, turn the knobs off.

- Allow the oven to cool down, then drain the water tank following the procedure previously explained.

- When the procedure is carried out, rinse the water tank by pouring water into the tank drawer and letting the water flow out through the exhaust pipe, until you

B A

A C

Fig. 19

D B

Fig. 20

see clear water without limestone residues coming out.

While carrying out this procedure, a lemon flavour will be smelt in the room.

If you foresee not to use the steam oven for 2-3 weeks, we recommend to drain the water tank.

Cleaning the exhaust pipe

When a cleaning procedure has been carried out, carefully wash the exhaust pipe in warm soapy water. Don't use acids, spray cleaners or abrasives to clean the exhaust pipe and connectors, this could damage them.

Using different water types

If you use bottled mineral water or water with low limestone content, the need of cleaning the water tank will be reduced (e.g., every 150-200 cookings). If a water conditioner or a water softener has been installed in your house, then the main water supply of your house can be normally used.

i Using hard waters (that is, waters with high limestone content) will make the necessity of cleaning procedures more frequent, but this will not affect in any way the oven operation.

What happens if something goes wrong

If the appliance is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks, before contacting your local Service Centre.

Installation

Building In

It is important that the dimensions and materials of the surround or cabinet into which the oven will be built are correct and will withstand a temperature increase.

A correct installation will have to ensure a proper protection against contact with electric parts or merely functionally isolated parts.

All the units meant to ensure protection have to be fitted not to be taken away without using any tool.

We recommend not to install the appliance near refrigerators or freezer, since the heat could affect the performance of these appliances.

Securing the Oven to the Cabinet

Fit the appliance into the cabinet recess.

Open teh oven door and secure the oven to the kitchen cabinet with four wood screws, which fit the holes provided in the oven frame (Fig. 25).

When installing an electric plate hob over the oven, the hob's electrical connection and the oven's one have to be carried out separately, for security reasons and to let the oven be taken off the unit easier, if necessary.

Electric Connection

Before the appliance is connected:

1) check that the main fuse and the domestic installation can support the load;
2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in compliance with the current rules;
3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for the electrical connection can be easily reached with the appliance built in the forniture unit.

This appliance is supplied without connection cable. A suitable one must be fitted, in compliance with the electric supply rate. Only the following cable types must be used: H07 RN-F, H05 RN-F, H05 RR-F, H05 VV-F, H05 V2V2-F (T90), H05 BB-F (section 3x 1,5 mm ^4 ). A suitable plug, able to carry the load specified on the rating plate, must be fitted to the cable. The plug has to be fitted in a proper socket.

If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system, a double pole switch must be installed between the appliance and the electricity supply, 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 rules. The earth wire must not be interrupted by the double switch pole.

The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in each part, it cannot reach a temperature 50 °C higher than the room temperature.

After the connection is carried out, test the heating elements for about 3 minutes.

Terminal block

The oven has an easily accessible terminal block, which is meant to work with an electric single-phase rate of 230 V (Fig. 26).

The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility should all the safety measures not be carried out.
