[. . . ] MIXED FUEL COOKER ZCM 531 INSTRUCTION BOOK GB 2 WARNINGS You MUST read these warnings carefully before installing or using the appliance. If you need assistance, contact our Customer Care Department on 08705 727727. Installation · During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating · This cooker must be installed by qualified elements inside the oven. [. . . ] The temperatures shown here are on the actual control knob. Temperature selection starts at 50°C and will reach approximately 250°C at the centre of the oven. The thermostat controlling the temperature is variable so it is possible to select temperatures between those marked. The maximum setting is particularly suitable for grilling. Things to note · Once the oven temperature has been selected, the oven thermostat pilot light will come on and remain on until the oven has reached the correct setting; after that, it will go on and off with the thermostat, showing how the temperature is being maintained. 15 USING THE FAN OVEN The Fan Oven The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven. The advantages of cooking with this function are: The fan oven can be used to heat foods through without thawing first, e. g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes (depending on the quantity of food in the oven). Only experience will enable you to determine the correct settings for your personal cooking needs. The temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit your individual requirements. Faster Preheating Because the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times. For recipes, which require higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first, e. g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles, etc. The effects of dishes on cooking results Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to the food inside them: A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning. B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning. Lower Temperatures Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20- 25°C for your own recipes, which use conventional cooking. Even Heating for Baking The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner positions. This means that batches of the same food can be cooked in the oven at the same time. However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker that the lower one. There is no mixing of flavours between dishes . Turn the oven function control knob to 2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required temperature. Defrosting The defrosting function allows you to defrost frozen foods.
