The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case
of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power
supply to the appliance. If this happens, call your local
Zanussi Service Centre. Under no circumstances should
you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
The Cooling Fan for the Controls
This oven is provided with a cooling fan, meant to keep
the front panel, the knobs and the oven door handle
cool. This fan may run on after the oven or grill is
switched off, until a normal temperature is reached.
Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on
the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the
dripping pan in the first position from the bottom (see
Fig. 2) with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid
the falling of melted fat on the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175
°
C). If you
need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempe-
rature (between 200 and 250
°
C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200
°
C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking
results through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top
element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level
depending on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.
When using the Thermal Grill Function,
select a maximum temperature of 200
°
C
