Lighting the appliance ZCG 8021 Lighting the appliance The system works by means of an electric spark system. Details about the plug are given in 'General Information'. For your safety In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 min. Hotplate To light 1. Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately.
Grill/second oven The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you cannot use them both at the same time. Grill To light: 1 Open the door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button. TOP OVEN/GRILL 3 Leave the grill door open when you are using the grill.
Lighting the appliance ZCG 8021 Main oven To light: 1 Set the time of day on the clock. 2 Open the oven door. 3 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. After a few seconds the oven will light automatically and the oven light will illuminate. MAIN OVEN 4 Now turn the control knob back to the gas mark you want. 5 Wait until the burner is showing large flames. 6 Close the oven door. MAIN OVEN If there is an electrical power failure (such as a power cut) you cannot use the main oven.
The grill The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food. Prior to using the grill We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to burn off any residue from the surface.
The grill ZCG 8021 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. Positioning food on the grid Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid. Place food which needs a gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid. Arrange meat, meat products and fish to suit their thickness and how you like them cooked.
The hotplate If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. Heat control The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol.
The hotplate ZCG 8021 For your safety 1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners. Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid. Front Left Do not leave a pan unattended.
Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. 2 Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. 3 Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. 4 Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. 5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly.
The ovens ZCG 8021 The ovens Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods that need different temperatures all at the same time.
Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough Shelf on base air to circulate around the food. 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.
The ovens ZCG 8021 Roasting For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes. If you use a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).

Oven cooking chart Oven cooking chart - Second oven These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes. The recommended shelf positions give the best results. Put the dishes centrally on the shelf and turn food round during the cooking time. You can change the gas marks and cooking times to suit your own tastes. It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving. If you are using both ovens at the same time you may need to adjust the cooking times.

The electronic timer Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400. Cookpot symbol Bell symbol In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure. Selector 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 main oven. When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.
The electronic timer ZCG 8021 When you are using the timer you can make the clock show the time of day by turning the selector knob to 'Manual'. The bell symbol will stay on to remind you that the timer is set. At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell symbol will go out. Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob to 'Clock'. Then turn to 'Manual' and the time of day will show in the display.
3 How long will the food take to cook? Turn the selector knob to 'Cook'. Then turn the setting knob until the length of time you want the food to cook shows in the display. The maximum cooking time is 10 hours. 'Auto' will show in the display. 4 What time do you want the food to be cooked by? Turn the selector knob to 'Stop'. Turn the setting knob until the time the oven is to switch off shows in the display. The cookpot ( ) will go out.
The electronic timer ZCG 8021 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.
Slow cooking Please note: There is no slow cook on the second oven. 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. You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook setting. This makes sure that the temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.
Slow cooking ZCG 8021 Soups, casseroles and stews l l l l Do not cook casseroles over 2.7kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Cover food with tight fitting lid or tin foil. 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. Cover food with tight fitting lid or tin foil.
Care and cleaning For your safety For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas appliance 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 cooker 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 ZCG 8021 Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'. After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back. When replacing hotplate burner parts 1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the crown on to the body).
The grill Do not clean the grill burner itself. The burner is designed to be self cleaning. Cleaning the grill may cause the holes in the burner to become blocked preventing it from operating correctly. Please note that due to the nature of stainless steel the grill burner may tarnish through use over a period of time. This is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance. Clean the area around the grill frequently using hot soapy water.
Care and cleaning ZCG 8021 The main oven The sides and back of your oven is coated in a special material which helps to keep itself clean. Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special finish. Do not overfill dishes or they will boil over. Do not put dishes too high in the oven. If you do they may stick to the oven roof. Cover your roasting tins with foil. This will prevent fat splashing. Use a roasting tin which is just large enough for the meat and potatoes.
Main 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 other 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: MAIN OVEN 1. Remove the oven shelves. 2. Set the oven to mark 5 for at least 30 minutes.
Care and cleaning ZCG 8021 Cleaning between the outer and inner door glass. You can remove the glass from the oven and grill doors if you need to. Note: For top oven door it is important not to open the door when the glass is removed because the door is lighter and it will spring shut. To remove the outer glass 1 Open the door so you can get at the two cross head screws on the top of the door. Note: Open top oven door slightly to access screws. 2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver.
Cleaning The Door Glass To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: Household detergents and bleaches Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads Chemical oven pads or aerosols Rust removers Bath/Sink stain removers If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering.
