INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover from the rating plate. This is situated on
the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen
upon opening the fan oven door.
REAR VIEW
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
To move the cooker, open the fan oven door, and lift
the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker 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.
This is a type Y cooker which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Ensure that the cooker is standing level.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
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.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
A spacer has been incorporated into the back of the
appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm²).

Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discoloration of wallcoverings behind the
cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to
tile behind the cooker.
PUSH TO TURN CONTROL KNOBS
(ZCE 7600 only)
These control knobs must be pushed in towards the
control panel before they can be turned or adjusted.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
POP IN POP OUT CONTROL KNOBS
(ZCE 7800 only)
These control knobs can remain flush with the
control panel when not in use, or pushed and
released to stand out from the panel for easy
operation.
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 the
cooling fan does not switch on until the cooktime
begins.
It is important to ensure that the cooker is level after
installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front of the
cooker to accommodate uneven floors.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
These lights indicate whether the ovens (model 7600
only) or ovens, hob or grill (model 7800 only) are
switched on.
Wipe over the grill compartment and fan oven base
with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the
grill and oven furniture before use.
In the case of the ovens, the neons also indicate
when the set temperature has been reached. They
will cycle on and off during use to show that the
temperature is being maintained.
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.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
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
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
When the oven has been set for automatic cooking
the neon should remain unlit during OFF periods.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the cooker, 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.
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.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces
including the vent at the rear of the hob. See note
at the top of this page.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.

setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
To operate the dual hotplate push in and 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.
This model has the added feature of three
Ceraglow hotplates which react more quickly
than other ceramic hotplates and are easily
identified by their rapid red glow.

Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those
relating to recommended heat settings.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
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.
Avoid using thin badly dented or distorted saucepans.
Those with uneven bases should not be used.
To prolong the life of hotplates:-
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
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.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and dry
before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning.
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.
Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
NOTE
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.
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.
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.
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.
DEEP FAT FRYING
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
HINTS AND TIPS
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 cooker OFF at
the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or
damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
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.
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.

PRESERVING
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. 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.
2. Amount of oil
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
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.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
4. Cooking the food
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.
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.
6. To test jam for setting:
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.
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
If a 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.
5. 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.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible from the surface of the preserve after
setting point has been reached. Marmalade
should be allowed to cool before potting to
prevent the peel rising.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

THE GRILL
USES OF THE 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.
SELECTING THE GRILL

NOTE
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking or the carrier shelf can be lifted
away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant
work surface.
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
HINTS AND TIPS
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.
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.
The outer grill element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the inner element. This is quite normal.
Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan
runner position to allow for different foods.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the
cut out in the pan so that the metal plate 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 cranked shelf in
position 2 with the grid in the high position.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
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.
The use of the trivet beneath the grid when grilling
fatty food will keep fat splashing to a minimum.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.
Place food on the grill pan grid in the grill pan or
on the trivet in the grill pan.
NOTE
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,
this can be ordered from your local Zanussi Service
Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on 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 on one level and for small quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook
fruit cakes, sweet or 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 80° - 100°C on the top oven control dial.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
ZCE 7600
THINGS TO NOTE
Push in and turn the top oven temperature
control to the required setting.
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is

When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the top
oven compartment, but a straight shelf from the main
oven may be used to provide alternative positions.
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.
DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.
HINTS AND TIPS
Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
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.
Larger roasts and casseroles should normally
be cooked in the main 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.
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 26.
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.
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.

THE FAN OVEN
USES OF THE 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, soufflès etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 26. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20° - 25°C for your own recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking on three shelves.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
ZCE 7600
Push in and 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 cycle ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
2. The interior oven light will come ON when the fan
oven control is turned.

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.
TO FIT THE FAN 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.
DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly on
the oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning: use the
lower shelf position. However, non critical dishes
may be cooked on the oven base when more
space is required.
HINTS AND TIPS
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
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 26.
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.
It is possible to cook bulk loads on up to three
shelves at any one time.

DEFROSTING
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed
or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
USES OF DEFROST FEATURE
This fan 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.
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.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly
in the fridge. However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
SELECTING DEFROST

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 and microbial growth
and cross contamination when defrosting, 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.
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.

CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING THE COOKER, ALWAYS
ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE
COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
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.
CLEANING MATERIALS
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for
several minutes.
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick saucepans with
Bar-Keepers Friend for removal of more stubborn
soilage.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided. Multi surface anti-bacterial
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.
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
a) Jif Cream Cleaner
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents recommended.
b) Baking Soda
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
DAILY CLEANING
2. Use a stainless steel razor in a patent holder with
care at an angle of 30° to remove as much
soilage as possible.
Use a cream cleaner such as Hob Brite daily. If
soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much
easier to clean off.
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off
as directed above.
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
2. 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.
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
under 'To Remove more Stubborn Marks' above.
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
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.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER
HINTS AND TIPS
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers
on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes
are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe
over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides
using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS
HAZARD.
A
SAFETY
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.
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR,
GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, MEAT TIN
AND OVEN SHELVES
Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each
other with hazardous results.
The grill pan, meat tin, grill deflector and oven
shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated
steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned
using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water
will make cleaning easier .
SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL
COMPARTMENTS
Avoid placing plastic items, aluminium foil or
dishes on the hot surface as this will cause
damage to the hob.
The sides and back of the oven and grill compartments are
coated with Stayclean enamel surfaces.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not
be cleaned manually. See Page 31 'Care of
Stayclean Surfaces'.
30
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
It is NOT necessary to add water to the 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.
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.
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 overbrowned.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
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.
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
Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting,
the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the
trivet and therefore prevent it from splashing onto the
Stayclean finish.
HINTS AND TIPS
Bath/Sink stain removers
Manual cleaning of Stayclean is not recommended.
Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any
kind are used.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surface may occur in time. This DOES
NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.
TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS
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 from
working.
1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the
two cross head screws on the top of the oven
door.
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one
hand before removing the screws completely with
the other hand.
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.
4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door
glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the
locators from the two bottom brackets.
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.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB(S)
The type of bulb required is a 300C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1.
(Available through Zanussi service centres).
CAUTION: Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply before replacing the bulb.
Open door and remove the shelves to enable easy
access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade
screwdriver between the oven side and the glass
which covers the bulb.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Hob Brite may be used. DO NOT try to
clean the aluminium 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 dry before
attempting to replace the outer door.
Support the glass with your hand and prise out
sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the
bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible
to remove the bulb with ease.
Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction
until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is
pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by
pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb
assembly.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently
place the locators into the holes of the brackets
at the bottom of the oven door.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven
door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.
3. Hold the glass 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.
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 Centre
who will be pleased to advise further.
TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
PANELS
Clean the inner door glass panels using a soft cloth
and hot water to which a little washing up 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.
