[. . . ] BUILT-IN ELECTRIC DOUBLE OVEN AND GRILL ZHM 868 INSTRUCTION BOOKLET IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using the cooker. If you are unsure about any of the meanings of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department. The address is on the back page of this book. INSTALLATION The cooker must be installed according to the instructions supplied. [. . . ] To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning. Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier. For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then switch the selector to the conventional oven setting. Single level cooking gives best results. If you want to cook on more than one level use the fan or zoned oven functions. 25 THE ZONED OVEN USES OF THE ZONED OVEN This form of cooking is similar to a gas oven where the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. As there is a difference of up to 30°C between the top and bottom of the oven this feature is especially useful for dishes requiring different temperatures at the same time making it ideal for cooking a complete meal on two shelves. MAIN OVEN HOW TO USE THE ZONED OVEN 1. Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. THINGS TO NOTE The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will then turn on and off showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. The Selector neon will glow throughout cooking. The cooling fan for the controls will operate when the Selector is turned. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the cooker has cooled. See page 7 for further details on the cooling fan. If an automatic cooking programme is set, the oven light will come on when the cook time begins. SELECTOR 26 HINTS AND TIPS Remember that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. The approximate difference in temperature between the top and the bottom is 30°C. If a higher shelf position is used than is recommended in the chart on page 28 it may be necessary to lower the cooking temperature by approximately 10°C. Be prepared to interchange dishes between the higher and lower shelf position during cooking where necessary It is best to cover dishes where practical for part of the cooking time to prevent over browning. Covering the food will also reduce fat splashing onto the oven interior and help to keep the oven clean. Uncover food for the last 15-30 minutes of cooking time to allow the food to brown. Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelves and that there is sufficient room around the dishes to allow for maximum air circulation. The use of enamelware or dark, heavy or non- stick utensils will help to increase base browning for dishes such as Yorkshire pudding, pies etc. For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat the oven until the main oven indicator neon goes out, then switch to the zoned oven following the times, temperatures and shelf positions recommended in the cook chart. 27 MULTIFUNCTION OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by a further 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.

Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the outer insulation is inside the terminal block and that the wires are not taught but not so slack as to cause any fouling. Connect the remaining end of the mains cable to the cooker point / junction box Place fuse / miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains. 53 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CHECKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Confirm the cooker is correctly connected by switching on and observing the various oven functions indicators. The electronic timer will flash on and off. CONNECTING TO A HOB OR COOKER POINT Either follow in general terms the instructions for connecting to the terminal block or refer to the hob suppliers installation instructions. [. . . ]
