WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top cavity door. Alternatively, the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable).

The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

INSTALLATION

If your appliance has been damaged in transit, contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.

Your appliance left the factory fully packaged to protect it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for advice.

Once the packaging has been removed, the appliance should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance as damage may occur.

Connection to the electricity supply must be carried out by a qualified electrician/competent person.

The electrical connection should be made using a double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to prevent overheating and deterioration.

The recommended cross-section area is six square millimetres (6.00mm²).

The cable must be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below.

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with labeled parts and cross-section indicators.

To move the appliance, open the fan oven door, and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the compartment.

Diagram of hands installing or maintaining a wall-mounted device with internal components (no text or symbols).

This is a type X appliance which means it is freestanding and can be fitted with cabinets on one or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.

Ensure that the appliance is standing level.

Side walls which are above hob level should be protected by heat resistant non-combustible material and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob side.

A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the appliance is required to enable the appliance to be moved into position.

Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.

Correct: Air gap, Rear Wall. Incorrect: Air gap obscured by wall covering, Tiles, Rear Wall.

INTRODUCTION

Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time cause discoloration of wall coverings behind the appliance. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the appliance.

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob.

It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVEN

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces.

The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5–10 minutes.

During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of the steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance 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 appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces including the air vent at the rear of the hob. See note at the top of this page.

For your safety, wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. If an automatic programme has been set for the top oven, the cooling fan does not switch on until the cook time begins.

The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature setting and the length of time the oven has been in use.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched ON.

The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate, the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, oven dishes, etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.

THE CERAMIC HOB

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.

USING THE HOB

ZANUSSI ZCE 7701 - USING THE HOB - 1

  • To operate the dual hotplate, turn the control knob clockwise for the full area, or anticlockwise for the centre section.
  • The inner section is very economical when cooking with small diameter saucepans.
  • For single hotplates, turn the control knob in either direction to vary the heat setting. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity and type of food to be cooked.
  • This model has the added feature of Ceraglow hotplates which react more quickly than other ceramic hotplates and are easily identified by their rapid glow.

For speed and economy, only good quality saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan base should be approximately the same size as the cooking area; a base diameter of up to 225mm (9") may be used on a 180mm (7") heated area.

Diagram showing three cooking pots with symbols indicating heating and cooling conditions, marked with X and ↓ symbols.

Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should comply with the recommendations given above.

Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to remove edges and take off any deposits left from manufacture.

Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations.

NOTE

Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used. This is due to a safety device which prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying, is quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.

Excessive switching may however be caused by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.

HINTS AND TIPS

  • Lift, rather than slide, saucepans on and off the heated areas. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on.
  • Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings.

Diagram showing two cooking pots with steam rising, one marked with X and the other with checkmark

- Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans as they can lead to sticking and burning of food.

Diagram showing two cooking pots on a stove with '×' symbols indicating heating or cooking conditions.

- To prolong the life of the hotplates:-

  • Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
  • Never use an asbestos mat.
  • Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan.

- Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning.

- Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new.

- If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g. jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob before it sets and becomes hard otherwise damage to the hob will occur.

HOT HOB INDICATOR

The ceramic hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light which illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch. The light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.

DEEP FAT FRYING

SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, switch the appliance OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it.

DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched ON.

  1. Preparing the food.

Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick.

  1. Amount of oil.

For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full of oil.

  1. Testing the temperature of the oil.

It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into the oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature of 190°C/375°F.

  1. Cooking the food.

Lower the food gently into the oil. Do Not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food.

Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the surface so will not brown on the upperside if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper.

  1. Double frying chips.

Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal the outside. Remove the chips from the oil. Increase the temperature of the oil to 190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the chips.

Chips may be kept for several hours after the first frying before finishing off with the second frying.

PRESERVING

  1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim.
  2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than one third full when all the ingredients have been added. It is better to use two pans rather than overfill one, or use half quantities.
  3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before using.
  4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally good flavour.
  5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not completely dissolved before bringing jam to the boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting properties and colour of the jam.
  6. To test jam for setting: If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to 104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C. If a jam thermometer is not available, remove pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold dish, and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen food storage compartment of a refrigerator). When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a finger run through it, if it is at setting point.
  7. The scum should be removed as soon as possible after setting point has been reached. Marmalade should be allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel rising.

THE DUAL GRILL

USES OF THE DUAL GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used, or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

THINGS TO NOTE

- The cooling fan will operate in conjunction with the grill. For more details on the operation of the cooling fan, see page 9.

NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING

If the grill door is accidentally closed during grilling, a safety device incorporated in the appliance will cut out the grill.

The top oven cannot be operated when the grill is in use. If the grill and top oven controls are selected at the same time, only the top oven will operate.

The inner element may appear to glow slightly brighter than the outer element. This is quite normal.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.

To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal hooks over the top of the grill pan.

Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.

- When toasting bread, use the shelf in position 1 with the grid in the 'high' position.

- 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.

- The food should be turned over during cooking as required.

  • When using the centre section of the dual grill, ensure food is positioned centrally on the grill pan grid in the grill pan.
  • Place food on the grill pan grid in the grill pan.

THE TOP OVEN

USES OF THE TOP OVEN

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche.

The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 90°C – 100°C on the top oven control dial.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

ZANUSSI ZCE 7701 - SELECTING THE TOP OVEN - 1

- Turn the top oven function selector to

ZANUSSI ZCE 7701 - SELECTING THE TOP OVEN - 2

- Turn the top oven temperature control to the required setting.

- The cooling fan will operate immediately with the top oven. For more details on cooling fan operation see page 9.

THINGS TO NOTE

  1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is in use. If the grill and top oven controls are selected at the same time, only the top oven will operate.
  2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

Back of the Oven, Straight Rods, Frame.

HINTS AND TIPS

- All cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.

1, 2.

- Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the fan oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food.

- Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.

Line drawing of an oven with a basket inside, showing internal structure and tray, no text or symbols.

- There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with a central component and internal structure, no text or symbols.

- DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

Simple line drawing of a microwave oven with a diagonal black cross mark, no text or symbols.

- When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf directly below the element.

- The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

- DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food.

- Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations on page 24.

- For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

Diagram of a mechanical or electrical component with directional arrows indicating motion or force, no text or symbols.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN

USES OF THE MAIN FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan oven cooking are:

PREHEATING

The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart on page 24. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

SELECTING THE FAN OVEN

ZANUSSI ZCE 7701 - SELECTING THE FAN OVEN - 1

- Turn the fan oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1) The fan oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained. 2) The interior light will come ON when the fan oven control is turned.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

Back of the Oven, Straight Rods, Frame.

HINTS AND TIPS

- Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

- When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results.

- When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.

Line drawing of a baking tray with multiple cupcake liners (no text or symbols).

- It is recommended that when baking larger quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary.

- DO NOT place baking trays directly on the oven floor as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position.

Simple line drawing of a kitchen appliance with a crossed-out black cross symbol (no text or labels).

- The use of excessively high temperatures can cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the recommendations given in the oven cooking chart, see page 24.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.

Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

DEFROST FEATURE

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE

This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold, e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.

Line drawing of a baking tray with two circular objects on top (no text or symbols).

It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function.

SELECTING DEFROST

Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours.

Line drawing of a rectangular baking tray with cutouts and a single piece of meat, no text or symbols present.

A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process.

Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function.

ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING

ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.

- Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting.

ZANUSSI ZCE 7701 - SELECTING DEFROST - 3

THINGS TO NOTE

Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

HINTS AND TIPS

- Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.

Illustration of a rectangular kitchen grater with three rectangular food items on a rack (no text or symbols).

- The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.

- DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH AND ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, 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. Abrasives must also be avoided to prevent damaging the stainless steel or painted finishes. See 'Cleaning the Outside of the Appliance' on page 28. Multi-surface antibacterial products should not be used on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on.

Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.

DAILY CLEANING

Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.

  1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned.

Simple line drawing of a hand using a pipette to draw circles on a tray (no text or symbols).

  1. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub vigorously until all marks are removed. This may take a few minutes.
  2. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Line drawing of a hand placing a small object onto a tray with five empty circles (no text or symbols).

TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS

  1. A powder cleaner such as Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations. It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes.
  2. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal of more stubborn soilage.

If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:

a) Cif Cream Cleaner b) Baking Soda

TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE

We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage.

  1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
  2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30 degrees to remove as much soilage as possible.
  3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off as directed above.

Line drawing of a hand using a spatula to cut four circular shapes on a tray (no text or symbols).

TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR WHITE AND SILVER MARKS

These marks sometimes give the impression of being in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost always be removed provided they have not become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above under 'To Remove More Stubborn Marks'.

If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part water to three parts Cream of Tartar and leave on the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be easily removable the next day provided they have not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be thoroughly washed off afterwards.

HINTS AND TIPS

TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:

  • Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins.
  • Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
  • If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
  • Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.
  • Avoid the use of:

• Household detergents and bleaches. - Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not described as suitable for non-stick saucepans. - Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads. - Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven pads. - Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.

  • Any of the above products may cause damage to the hob.
  • It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products. The chemicals in them may react with each other with hazardous results.
  • SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
  • Avoid placing plastic items, aluminium foil or dishes on the hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth.

Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.

Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

Diagram of a hand pressing a button on a mechanical component with lightning bolts (no text or symbols).

CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND HANDLES

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the control knobs and door handles. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE PLATED FINISH.

CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.

The meat tin, grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the main oven and top oven / grill compartments are coated with a Stayclean surface.

The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not be cleaned manually. See 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.

Simple line drawing of a hand holding a box, crossed out by two diagonal lines (no text or symbols).

The vitreous enamel base in the grill compartment and the fan oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with the elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.

CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.

HINTS AND TIPS

  • Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surface IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
  • Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
  • A good time to allow the oven to run on is after the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean surfaces from working.

- Follow the recommendations below to keep oven soilage to minimum.

- Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an increased length of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more tender.

- Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat. Potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase splashing and soilage.

- It is NOT necessary to add water to a meat tin when roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint create excessive splattering during cooking – even at normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.

- Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is over-browned.

CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS

ZANUSSI ZCE 7701 - CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS - 1

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

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS PANELS

The outer door panel is removable for cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER PANEL

  1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.

Technical line drawing of a folding frame with a magnified inset showing a screw (no text or symbols).

  1. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver.
  2. Hold the door panel securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand.
  3. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets.
  4. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite may be used with care. DO NOT use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted finishes. DO NOT try to clean the foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the outer door.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER PANEL

  1. Holding the door panel with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door.
  2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.
  3. Hold the panel in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.
  4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the oven door.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the glass being in place.

ZANUSSI ZCE 7701 - TO REPLACE THE OUTER PANEL - 1

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. Please contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR PANELS

Clean the inner glass door panels using a soft cloth and hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on the door glass. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the glass.

REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB

The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1 (Available through local Service Force Centres).

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE BULB.

Open the door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the oven side and glass which covers the bulb.
