OPERATION
Safety cut off
Your cooker is fitted with a safety cut off device
which is actuated when the lid is lowered. This cuts
the electricity and gas supply to the whole appliance,
and prevents the lid being lowered onto the burners
when they are still on. When the lid is raised again,
the electricity supply to the oven is automatically
restored. The gas supply to the hob must be restored
manually by depressing the pushbutton on the rear
left hand corner of the hob surface.
There are two important points to remember; firstly
the lid must be in the raised position for any part of
the cooker to function. Secondly, you must
remember to return all the controls to their off
positions when you have finished using the cooker. If
you have for instance left the oven on, when the lid is
raised it will automatically come on again.
Obviously if you manually restore the gas supply and
of the burner controls have not been returned to their
off positions, the gas will escape.
Safety cut off switch
Do not tamper with or attempt to adjust the safety
cut-off switch. Any adjustment must be made by a
qualified engineer.
The switch is designed to prevent the hob or oven
being turned on when the lid is closed.
Tampering with the switch may enable the heat to be
turned on with the glass lid in the down position. The
heat would cause the glass lid to shatter which could
result in injury. Should you find the switch not
functioning correctly, contact your local authorised
Zanussi Service Centre.
HOB BURNERS (Fig. 1)
The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the
four gas burners.
To light a worktop burner, turn the relevant knob (Fig.
1) to the large flame symbol which corresponds to
the maximum setting.
Depress the ignition pushbutton on the fascia panel.
Once the burner is alight adjust the flame as
required. The smaller flame symbol is a simmer
setting.
It is important that pans with a base fitting the size of
the burner be used so that the flame does not spread
beyond the bottom of the pan.
NOTE:
"In case of accidental extinction of the burner flames,
turn the handle control off and do not try to turn it on
unless at least 1 minute has elapsed".
Important
Be very careful when frying food in hot oil or fat as the
overheated splashes could easily flare up.
NOTE: "the use of a gas cooker produces heat and
damp in the room where it is installed. Ensure a good
airing of the room keeping the natural ventilation
holes open or installing an aspiration hood with
exhaust pipe".
NOTE: "A long and intensive use of the machinery
can require further airing, for example the opening of
a window, or a more efficient ventilation, increasing
the mechanic suction power, when existing".

MULTIFUNCTION OVEN
The multifunction oven makes it possible to carry out
various types of cooking, depending on the nature of
the food and its volume.
All cooking must be done with the oven door closed.
The oven light remains on with all cooking functions.
The oven control knob symbols are listed together
with a brief description of the functions (a more
detailed explanation of the functions and how to use
them are given in the "ZANUSSI COOKBOOK"
book).
