This document is a user manual for the Zanussi ZCV46050WA cooker, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, safe use, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The cooker is designed for household use and features a hob with four radiant heating cooking zones and two ovens: a top oven and a main oven. The hob includes a residual heat indicator for safety and energy saving. The control panel for both the hob and ovens consists of knobs for selecting heat settings and oven functions, as well as temperature indicators.
The hob's cooking zones are activated by turning the corresponding knob to the desired heat setting, ranging from 1 to 6. To turn off a cooking zone, the knob should be returned to the "0" position. The residual heat indicator illuminates when a cooking zone is hot, even after it has been turned off, serving as a safety warning against burns and a reminder to utilize residual heat for energy saving. It's recommended to deactivate cooking zones 5-10 minutes before cooking is complete to leverage this residual heat.
For optimal cooking, the manual advises using cookware with a thick, flat, and clean bottom. Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium/copper bottoms may cause discoloration on the glass-ceramic surface, but this does not affect performance. The manual provides a table with recommended heat settings for various cooking applications, such as gentle simmering, frying, bringing to a boil, and deep-frying.
Regular cleaning of the hob after each use is crucial. Any spills, especially melted plastic, sugar, or sugary foods, should be removed immediately with a special hob scraper to prevent damage. For other stains like limescale, water rings, or metallic discoloration, the hob should be cleaned when cool using a moist cloth, a non-abrasive detergent, or a solution of water with vinegar. Steam cleaners, harsh abrasive cleaners, or sharp metal scrapers should not be used as they can scratch the surface.
The cooker features two ovens: a top oven and a main oven. Both ovens are operated by turning dedicated knobs to select functions and set temperatures. The top oven has three shelf positions and is suitable for smaller quantities of food, particularly fruitcakes, sweets, savoury flans, or quiche. The main oven is larger and ideal for cooking bigger quantities.
The oven functions include:
The manual emphasizes preheating the empty appliance before first use, operating it for 1 hour at maximum temperature (top oven) and 15 minutes (main oven) to burn off any manufacturing residues, which may cause an odour or smoke.
Accessories include a wire shelf, a grill-/roasting pan, and a trivet. The trivet is used with the grill-/roasting pan for roasting larger meats or grilling flat dishes. All accessories have anti-tip indentations for safety.
Baking tables are provided for both top and main ovens, offering guidelines for temperature and baking times, which may vary based on recipes and ingredients. Preheating the oven for 20 minutes before cooking is generally recommended. Troubleshooting tips for common baking issues like uneven browning, sinking cakes, or dry cakes are also included, suggesting adjustments to shelf position, temperature, or baking time.
Grilling should always be done with the oven door closed and at the maximum temperature setting. The deep pan should be placed in the first shelf position to collect fat. The grilling area is set in the centre of the shelf, and only flat pieces of meat or fish should be grilled. A table for Dual Grill in the top oven provides recommended times and shelf positions for various foods like bacon, chicken joints, chops, fish, kebabs, and steaks.
For defrosting, food packaging should be removed, and the food placed on a plate. Covering the food is not recommended as it can extend defrost time. The first shelf position (bottom) is advised for defrosting.
Internal Lighting: The oven lamp is a household appliance type and should only be replaced with a suitable 300°C heat-resistant oven lamp of the same type. Before replacement, the appliance must be disconnected from the power supply, and the oven must be cool.
Removing the Shelf Supports: For cleaning the oven interior, shelf supports can be removed by pulling the front and then the rear end away from the side walls. They are reinstalled in the opposite sequence.
Removing and Cleaning the Door Glasses: Instructions are provided for both top and main ovens. For the top oven, the door trim on the top edge is pushed inwards to release the clip seal, then pulled to the front to remove. The glass panels can then be removed. For the main oven, the door trim is pushed at one side to remove it. The number and type of glass panels may vary by model.
Troubleshooting: A table lists common problems such as the appliance not activating, residual heat indicator not coming on, oven not heating up, or lamp not operating, along with possible causes and remedies. For persistent issues, contacting an Authorised Service Centre is advised.
The manual contains extensive safety information, emphasizing that only qualified persons should install and service the appliance. It warns against risks of suffocation, injury, burns, electric shock, and fire. Children and vulnerable people should be supervised, and packaging kept away from them. Hot surfaces, especially during and after operation, pose a burn risk. The appliance should not be used as a work surface or storage.
Specific warnings include:
All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician, and the appliance must be earthed. The mains cable must be H05VV-F type. The electrical installation must include an isolation device with a minimum 3 mm contact opening width.
The manual encourages recycling packaging materials and proper disposal of electrical and electronic appliances, not with household waste, but at local recycling facilities.
