Lighting the cooker The system works by means of an electric spark system. Details about the plug are given on page 35. Hotplate To light 1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hotplate when the lid is down. 2.
Grill/second oven The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you cannot use them both at the same time. Grill To light: 1 Open the door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately.
Main oven To light: 1 Open the oven door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. The oven will light automatically. 3 Now turn the control knob back to the gas mark you want. 4 Close the oven door.
The grill The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food.

Z C G 6 6 0 0 Putting food on the grid Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid. If you put food outside this area it may require rotating during cooking. Place food which needs a more gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan. If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Zanussi Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800.
Z C G 6 6 0 0 The hotplate You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 29 for more information.
Page 10
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners.
Helpful hints Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. Cover pans with a lid whenever possible.
The ovens Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen.
Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough air to circulate around the food.

Z C G 6 6 0 0 Roasting For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes.
The electronic timer Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400. In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure.
When you are using the minute minder you can make the clock show the time of day by turning the selector knob to 'manual'. The bell symbol will stay on to remind you that the minute minder is set. At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell symbol will go out.
Page 23
3 How long will Turn the selector knob to the food take 'cook time'. Then turn the to cook? setting knob until the length of time you want the food to cook shows in the display. The maximum cooking time is 10 hours.
Hints and tips for automatic cooking 1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are familiar with the timer operation. 2 If the oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using for automatic cooking. 3 You should leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking starts.
Slow cooking Please note: There is no slow cook on the second oven. The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook setting.
Page 26
Soups, casseroles and stews Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Vegetables Cut into small pieces. Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish.
Care and cleaning For your safety For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas cooker clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire. Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot.
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay reasonably clean.
The main oven The sides and back of your oven are coated in a special material which helps to keep itself clean. Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special finish. Do not overfill dishes or they will boil over. Do not put dishes too high in the oven.
Oven cleaning cycle Please note: The oven cleaning cycle can only be used in the main oven. You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the oven in good condition. The type of cooking you do will affect how often you need to follow the cycle.
General Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves, and the oven door while they are still slightly warm. This way you can easily remove any splashes or spills. Wipe the oven base with a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water.
Installing the cooker For your safety This cooker must be installed and serviced by a competent person as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) regulations current editions and the IEE Wiring Regulations. It is important that the cooker is suitable for your gas supply.
Page 33
Positioning The diagram shows how close to the cooker cupboards, shelves, curtains and so on can be fitted. Look at the diagram and carefully read the instructions to make sure your cooker is fitted safely. If you are in doubt your installer will give you advice. Do not fit any materials which may catch fire, for example wood or curtains behind the cooker.
General information For your safety Do not block any of the cooker vents. Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil. Don't let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such as kettle flexes trail over any part of the cooker. Moving your cooker You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you move the cooker.
If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the plug. If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the cooker which must be put right.
What is wrong and why? We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer. Problem The oven, grill or hotplate will not light. Check If only the hotplate burners will not light make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly.
Page 37
Problem Having difficulty cleaning any part of the cooker. Check Check that the instructions for care and cleaning, beginning on page 28 are being followed. Problem The oven light will not work. Check If the light does not work you probably need to replace the bulb. To do this see instructions on page 36.
