Installation ZBG 861 Installing the oven For your safety This oven must be installed and serviced by a competent person as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) regulations current edition. It is important that the oven is suitable for your gas supply. Your installer should check the data badge. Cabinet Dimensions This oven must be fitted into a cabinet with a suitable sized aperture.
General information To get the best results from your new oven please read these instructions carefully. You should pay particular attention to cooking times and gas mark settings as these may differ from your previous oven. You may find it necessary to adjust these until you are more familiar with the oven. For your safety Do not block any of the oven vents. Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.
General information ZBG 861 Ignition The grill and oven burners light automatically when you turn on the control. If, for any reason either of the burners go out, the spark ignition will automatically relight it. Please note: You can only use the grill with the door fully or partially open. You cannot use the grill when the door is closed. You cannot use the oven and grill together. You cannot use the oven or grill in the event of a power failure.
Lighting the oven/grill Grill To light: 1 Open the door. Push in the control knob and turn it to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol. For your safety Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires Oven To light: 1 Open the oven door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. When the burner has lit there will only be small flames at first. 3 Now turn the control knob to the gas mark you want. 4 Wait until the burner is showing large flames.
Lighting the oven/grill ZBG 861 To turn off any burner 1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the off position. This is shown by a large dot. For your safety When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you leave the oven. When you are turning off a burner do not leave the oven until the flame has gone out.
The grill We suggest that you run the grill without food for approximately 5 - 10 minutes to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation. For your safety You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit. Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away. Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires.
The grill ZBG 861 Cooking positions Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit different thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes straight on the grill shelf. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese. Preheating You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.
Use shelf position one when toasting and adjust the height of the grid to suit. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. Dishes, tins and trays should not be placed directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur. For your safety Always remove the grill pan before attempting to adjust the shelf position. Oven gloves should be used when removing or pulling the shelf in and out. For hygiene and safety reasons this cooker should be kept clean at all times.
The grill ZBG 861 The grill pan and handle The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.
To check the progress of the food when using the grill you should withdraw the grill pan on the shelf to attend to food. After removing the grill pan you can rest it on a heat resistant work surface if you need to. Plate warming When using the grill, you can use the shelf below the grill pan to warm plates. Do not put plates on the shelf when the grill burner is turned on and the grill pan is not in place. The heat from the burner will damage the plates.
The oven ZBG 861 The oven For your safety Never leave the cooker unattended when the oven door is open. We suggest that you run the oven without food for approximately 10 - 15 minutes at gas mark 7 to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation. Heat zones There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen.
Oven shelves The two oven shelves can be slotted into place in any of 5 positions. The top shelf position should be reserved for grilling only. For safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge raised, slot the shelf onto the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in.
The oven ZBG 861 Baking trays and dishes For your safety Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burner. This will damage the oven as well as the ovenware and possibly the cabinet underneath the oven. Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly. Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flames. For the best results we recommend that you use a baking tray which is 310mm (12") square.

Slow cooking ZBG 861 Slow cooking The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because the temperature is too low. Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.
Soups, casseroles and stews l l l l l Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb). Do not cook two (1.8kg) (2lb) casseroles on slow cook setting at the same time. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. Cook for up to 9 hours. Vegetables l l l l l Cut into small pieces. Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish. Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.
Slow cooking ZBG 861 Milk and milk products, for example cream Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling. Reheating Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a microwave. Only reheat food once.
The electronic timer Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2pm is shown as 1400. Cookpot symbol In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them until you're familiar with the procedure. Selector knob Setting knob If the oven is switched off on the wall or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the oven. When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash. During the hours of 10p.m. (22.00 hrs.
The electronic timer ZBG 861 Automatic control When you use the automatic controls for the first time it's probably best to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to make sure you've set everything correctly and you'll feel much more confident when you are away from home in the future. Setting the controls for automatic use This is very easy. All you have to do is work through the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for itself.
4 What time do you want the food to be cooked by? Turn the selector knob to 'End Time'. Turn the setting knob until the time the oven is to switch off shows in the display. The cookpot symbol ( ) will go out. The 'End time ' must not be more than 23 hours 59 minutes from the time of day. For example if the time of day is 9.00 am the latest 'Stop' time will be 8.59 am the next day. 5 Set to automatic. Turn the selector knob to 'automatic'. The time of day will show in the display.
The electronic timer ZBG 861 Hints and tips for automatic cooking 1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are familiar with the timer operation. 2 If the oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using for automatic cooking. 3 You should leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking starts. 4 Do not leave food to stand in the oven when it has finished cooking.
Care and cleaning For your safety For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas oven clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire. Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But be careful as parts of the appliance will be hot. Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap powder except those recommended in this booklet.
Care and cleaning ZBG 861 The oven Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves, and the oven door while they are still slightly warm. This way you can easily remove any splashes and spills. You may use mild abrasives. The heat in the oven will change the colour of the metal plate on the shelf. You must not remove the solid plate from the shelf. You can soak the shelf for a few minutes in hot soapy water to make cleaning easier.
Oven cleaning cycle You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the oven in good condition. The type of cooking you do will affect how often you need to follow the cycle. If you do a lot of roasting and very little baking you should follow the cleaning cycle once a week. If you do very little roasting you will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2-3 weeks. To carry out a cleaning cycle: 1 Remove the oven shelves. 2 Set the oven to mark 5 for at least 30 minutes.
Care and cleaning ZBG 861 4 Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you. Lift slightly to disengage the locators at the bottom of the door. 5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild abrasives such as 'Jif'. 6 Replace the glass by holding it in both hands and gently placing the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the door. Push the top of the glass towards the oven door, and make sure the screw location holes line up.
