  If the Zanussi Oven display shows "12.00", this indicates that there was a power cut. You should set the time of day.

This document serves as a user manual for a Zanussi oven, model ZOHNC2X2, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The manual emphasizes user safety, particularly concerning children and vulnerable individuals, and outlines general safety precautions for appliance use.

Function Description

The Zanussi ZOHNC2X2 oven is designed for domestic cooking purposes, offering various heating functions to accommodate different culinary needs. It features a control panel with knobs for selecting heating functions and temperature, a display for clock functions, and a lamp for internal illumination.

The oven includes several heating functions:

Fan Cooking: Ideal for roasting and baking food at the same temperature on multiple shelf positions without flavor transference.
Grill: Suitable for grilling thin pieces of food and toasting bread.
Conventional Cooking / Aqua Clean: Used for baking and roasting food on a single shelf position. This function also supports the Aqua Clean cleaning procedure, which utilizes humidity to loosen fat and food particles.
Bottom Heat: Specifically designed for baking cakes with a crispy bottom and for preserving food.
Moist Fan Baking: An energy-saving function for cooking, where the temperature in the cavity may differ from the set temperature, and heating power might be reduced. This function is optimized for energy efficiency and ecodesign requirements.

The oven also incorporates several clock functions:

Time of Day: Allows users to set, change, or check the current time.
Duration: Enables setting how long the oven will operate, automatically turning off the oven and sounding a signal when the set time ends.
Minute Minder: Functions as a countdown timer that does not affect oven operation but provides a signal when the set time elapses.

Additional features include a cooling fan that operates automatically during appliance use and continues until the oven cools down, and a safety thermostat that interrupts power supply in case of overheating, automatically restarting when the temperature drops.

Usage Features

The manual provides a step-by-step guide for initial setup and daily use. Before first use, users are instructed to set the clock, clean the oven and accessories, and preheat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a specified duration to eliminate any initial odors or smoke.

For daily operation, users select a heating function using one knob and then set the desired temperature with another. The oven's four shelf positions allow for flexible placement of cookware. The manual advises against opening the oven door frequently, especially during the first three-quarters of baking time, to ensure optimal results. When using two baking trays simultaneously, it is recommended to keep an empty level between them.

The oven is equipped with accessories such as a wire shelf and a baking tray, which can be inserted into the guide bars. Telescopic runners are also available, making it easier to slide shelves in and out. Users are reminded to ensure the telescopic runners are pushed fully into the oven before closing the door and to avoid oiling them.

Specific cooking recommendations are provided for various food types:

Meat and Fish: Advised to let meat rest for about 15 minutes after cooking to retain juices. Adding water to a deep pan during roasting helps prevent excessive smoke and condensation.
Cooking Times: Users are encouraged to monitor cooking performance initially to determine optimal settings for their specific cookware, recipes, and quantities.
Moist Fan Baking: For this energy-saving function, dark and non-reflective tins and containers are recommended due to their better heat absorption properties compared to light-colored and reflective dishes.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the appliance's longevity and performance. The manual outlines cleaning procedures for various parts of the oven:

Front of the appliance: Should be cleaned with a moist microfibre cloth and a mild detergent. The door gasket around the frame of the cavity should also be checked and cleaned.
Metal surfaces: Can be cleaned using a dedicated cleaning solution.
Stains: Mild detergent is recommended for stain removal.
Cavity: Should be cleaned after each use to prevent fat accumulation and residue, which could pose a fire risk. To reduce condensation, the oven should be allowed to operate for 10 minutes before cooking, and moist food should not be stored for more than 20 minutes. The cavity should be dried with a microfibre cloth after each use.
Accessories: All accessories should be cleaned after each use with a microfibre cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent, then allowed to dry. Non-stick accessories should not be cleaned with abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.
Aqua Clean: This cleaning procedure involves pouring 150 ml of water into the cavity embossment, setting the oven to the "Conventional Cooking / Aqua Clean" function at 90°C for 30 minutes, then turning off the oven and waiting for it to cool before drying the cavity with a soft cloth.

The manual also details how to remove and install the shelf supports for thorough cleaning. The oven door can be removed for cleaning, and its two glass panels can be separated for individual cleaning. Users are cautioned not to use the oven without the glass panels. Instructions for replacing the internal lamp are also provided, emphasizing the need to disconnect the oven from the mains and allow it to cool down before attempting replacement. The lamp should be a 300°C heat-resistant type.

Troubleshooting tips are included for common issues like the oven not heating up (checking for blown fuses or damaged door gaskets) and the lamp not working (checking for a burnt-out lamp or power cut). For issues not covered, users are advised to contact an Authorized Service Centre.
