Once you removed all packaging from the appliance, ensure that it is not damaged and the electric cable is in perfect conditions. Otherwise, contact your dealer before proceeding with the installation. This appliance has been designed to be operated by adults and children under supervision. Young children MUST NOT be allowed to tamper with the controls or play near or with the oven. Environmental Information After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment. When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable, by cutting off the cable. It is most important that this instruction book is be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functions of the appliance and the relevant warnings. Child Safety Accessible parts of this appliance may become hot when it is in use. Children should be KEPT AWAY until it has cooled. During use This appliance has been designed for cooking edible foodstuff only and MUST NOT be used for any other purposes. Ensure that all control knobs are in the OFF position when not in use. Should you connect any electrical tool to a plug near this cooking appliance, ensure that electric cables are not in contact with it and keep them far enough from the heated parts of this appliance. If the appliance is out of order, disconnect it from the electric supply. Do not leave untensils containing foodstuffs, e. g. fat or oil in or on the appliance. This could cause damage in case the appliance is inadvertently switched on. Always place the dripping pan in position to collect fat when using the grill or when cooking meat. Pour a little water into the dripping pan to avoid smoke and unpleasant smells. Always use oven gloves to remove pans from the oven. For hygiene and safety reasons, this appliance should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other foodstuff could result in a fire. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work. Some parts of the appliance are covered by a shockproof plastic film. Remove this film before using the oven. This appliance is meant to operate with a singlephased connection to 230V electrical supply. An eventual 400V poliphasic connection without earth wire will destroy the oven and the hob, if fitted. The manufacturer disclaims any responsability should all the safety measures not be carried out.

Temperature can be set from 50 up to 250°C (max.) Bottom heating element - The heat comes from the bottom of the oven only. Top heating element - The heat comes from the top of the oven only. Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and bake simultaneously using any shelf, without flavour interference. It can also assist in thawing of frozen food. Grill element only - The heat comes from the top element only.

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. ZHM 726 FO 2480 Cooling fan (only in some models) The purpose of the fan is to cool the control panel, the knobs and the oven door handle. The air stream flows out between the control panel and the oven door handle. To ensure proper cooling, the fan will continue to operate even after the oven is turned off, until normal temperature levels have been reached. Fig. 5 When the oven is first installed F Once the oven has been installed: a) set the thermostat knob to MAX and switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking ; or b) set the oven control knob to MAX (250); 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. 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. Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the shelf and the dripping pan. To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part (Fig. 5). 45 The Safety Thermostat 30 2 This device allows you to make the oven switch off automatically once the preset time is over. An acoustic signal will be heard when the cooking time is completed. The cooking duration time can be set up to 90 minutes maximum. to set the oven on manual Turn the timer knob on operation. Turn the timer knob clockwise to set the required cooking time. Then place food in the oven and turn the oven function control knob and the thermostat control knob on the required settings. When cooking time is over, an acoustic alarm will sound and the oven will switch off automatically. End of cooking programmer (Fig. 3) 1 150 The Control Knobs for the hotplates (Fig.3) can be found on the oven control panel. The energy regulator of the hotplates can be set by means of a 7-position control knob: 0 = Off 1 = Minimum 3 = Maximum The intermediate positions give an increasing heating power. Carefully supervise cookings with oil or fats, since these types of food can result in a fire, when overheated. 100 0 90 3 FO 0799 75 60 37 Using the oven 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, otherwise turn the oven function control knob to (top heating element only) or (bottom heating element only). 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. Conventional cooking The Fan Oven Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) 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. 6). If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give you better results. 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 recommeded 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. Defrosting Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position ( (symbol :l). 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. 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. Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. All cookings must be carried out with the oven door closed Grilling Cooking with the turnspit (ZBN 722) 4 3 2 1 Fig. 6 FO 0019 Place the spit-support frame into the third grid runner from the bottom of the oven (Fig.7). Pierce and secure well food on the spit. Fit the spit tip into the spit motor drive in the back of the oven and lay its front part on the frame groove. Remove the spit handle. Tutn the oven function control knob on . Leave the oven door closed. Set the thermostat function knob on 200°C maximum. Grease Filter (only in some models) When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted over the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the back panel. This will prevent a built-up of fat on the fan impellor. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof. When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward. (See Fig.8) Fit the grease filter only when roasting.
