[. . . ] ZANUSSI Built-in oven model ZSM 35 W/K 2 OPERATING AND INSTALLATION MANUAL Warnings and guidance It is most important that this instruction book should 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. These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. [. . . ] Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur. For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then swich the selector to the conventional oven setting. Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level cooking use the fan or zoned oven functions. Top oven element only This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, eg; lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc. Bottom oven element only This function is particularly useful when blindbaking pastry or cooking pizza. 12 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 draws air from the oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the top, base and sides of the back panel. The advantages of cooking with this function are: 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. Lower Temperatures Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the charts or 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 (see Fig. The oven is supplied with two anti-tip shelves. IMPORTANT: The anti-tip oven shelves must be positoned as shown in Fig. 7. HINTS AND TIPS Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the shelves are evenly spread. When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than several dishes on one shelf. When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly longer cooking time. A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the oven base, to allow air circulation around the food. When the oven is full of the same food, e. g. equal trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time and removed from the oven together. [. . . ] Cook meat thoroughly - use a meat thermometer if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check that the centre temperature has reached the required temperature (see table below). MEAT Beef TEMPERATURES Rare - 60°C Medium - 70°C Well Done - 80°C Well Done - 80°C Medium - 70°C Well Done - 80°C Pork Lamb 11. If not eaten straightaway after cooking, food should be cooled as quickly as possible (within one hour) and then refrigerated or frozen as required. (Do not put hot food into a Refrigerator or Freezer). [. . . ]
