ELECTRIC DOUBLE OVEN AND GRILL ZCE 7550 / ZCE 7551 INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Always support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position. Always use oven gloves to remove and replace the grill pan handle when grilling. Always use oven gloves to remove and place food in the oven. Ensure cooking utensils are large enough to contain foods to prevent spillage and boil over. The handles of saucepans, which are smaller than the heated area on the hob, will become hot. Ensure your hand is protected before handling the pan.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE RATING PLATE If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

B) TO SET THE TIMER TO SWITCH OFF ONLY i) Ensure the electricity supply is switched ON and that the correct time of day is displayed, e.g. 10.00am as Fig. 9. ii) Place food in the oven. iii) To set the length of cooking time, press the Selector Control button until the 'Cook Time' ( ) indicator neon is illuminated. Press the increase control ( + ) until the required length of cooking time is displayed, e.g. 2 hrs 15 mins as Fig. 10. Depress the decrease control ( - ) if necessary. iv) Release the buttons.
THE CERAMIC HOB Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect the appliance immediately from the electricity supply and contact your local Service Force Centre. USING THE HOB 3 2 5 5 4 1 0 This model has the added feature of two Rapid power zone hotplates which react more quickly than the other ceramic hotplates and are easily identified by their instant red glow.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • • • • Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob areas. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on. Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings. Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not be used.
THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTOR USING THE GRILL • • • • Select the grill function for full grill. Select the grill function for centre section only. Turn the temperature control knob to the right as far as it will go.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of foods.
THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top oven and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche. SELECTOR 0 The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control. USING THE TOP OVEN • • Turn the top oven function selector to.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • All cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.
THE MAIN OVEN The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results. When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

DEFROST FEATURE This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than some conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc. USING DEFROST FEATURE 0 100 When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down before switching off at the electricity supply. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives and scourers should also be avoided.
DAILY CLEANING Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off. 1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned. 2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub vigorously until all marks are removed. This may take a few minutes. 3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
HINTS AND TIPS TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: • • • • • Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins. Ensure saucepans are large enough accommodate food to avoid boil overs. If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns. Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN COMPARTMENTS GRILL AND The sides and back of the grill/top oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill/top oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door. 2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver. 3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. 4.
REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. Open the door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the oven side and glass which covers the bulb. Support the glass with your hand and prise out sufficiently to release the glass cover.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING? Please carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call.

Please note that proof of purchase is required for in-guarantee service calls.
