Installation ZDG 58 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) (Amendment) 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 ZDG 58 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 or grill in the event of a power failure. Oven lights Your oven is fitted with two oven lights.

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 When you first turn the grill on you will be able to smell residues from the grill surface being burnt off. It may be necessary to open a window for ventilation. The smell will disappear after using the grill a few times. Heat control The grill gives variable heat settings. The control knob turns to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high setting should be used for fast cooking such as toast.
The grill ZDG 58 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.
Grill shelf The grill shelf can be slotted into place in any of two positions. For safety the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove the 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. You should use the shelf without the metal plate when grilling.
The grill ZDG 58 The grill pan and handle The grill pan has a removable handle. This should be removed during grilling. To attach the handle, press the button on the handle with your thumb. Lift the handle upwards slightly and put it into the widest part of the grill pan bracket. Move the handle to the left and lower into position. You can now release the button. Make sure the handle is firmly located.
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 You can use the grill compartment to warm plates while the oven is on. Do not place plates to warm under the grill when it is on as this may damage the plates.
The oven ZDG 58 The oven Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. When you first turn the oven on you will be able to smell residues from the oven surfaces being burnt off. It may be necessary to open a window for ventilation. The smell will disappear after using the oven a few times. 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. 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 ZDG 58 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.

Oven cooking chart These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes. When you are using both shelves, use the shelf with the metal plate in the higher position. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking or you can take the top tray out of the oven when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

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.
Slow cooking ZDG 58 Soups, casseroles and stews l Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb). l Do not cook two (1.8kg) (2lb) casseroles on slow cook setting at the same time. l Cook in the middle of the oven or above. l Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. l Cook for up to 9 hours. Vegetables l Cut into small pieces. l Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 l l l l minutes before adding to any dish. To prevent vegetables from discolouring, add lemon juice.
Liquid Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking. 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 ZDG 58 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. We have supplied a plastic card as a quick reference when setting the timer. 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 oven.
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.
The electronic timer ZDG 58 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 'Stop' 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.
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. You should remove it and if it is not going to be eaten at once, cool it quickly.
Care and cleaning ZDG 58 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.
The oven Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves, the meat tin, cake tray, 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.
Care and cleaning ZDG 58 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.
Cleaning between the outer and inner door glass You can remove the glass from the oven and grill doors if you need to. The grill door is fitted with a trim. You must note the correct position of the trim when you remove the grill door glass. 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. 2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver.
