The Ovens - Zanussi ZCGHL55X Instruction Booklet

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 requiring different temperatures all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example
cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you could
remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to
the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Top Oven
- You can only cook on one shelf at a time. You may prefer
to turn food round during the cooking time.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the main or top oven for casseroling and so
on.
Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food
such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the
instructions on the packaging. When you are using the top oven to cook
or reheat convenience food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8.
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for
20 minutes.
Oven shelves
The shelf in the top oven is different from the
shelves in the main oven. You can distinguish
the top oven shelf from the main oven shelves
because it has a metal plate attached to it. The
shelves provided for the main oven should only
be used in the main oven. Similarly, only use
the top oven shelf in the top oven.
You can slot the oven shelves into any of
five positions in the main oven and any of two
positions in the top oven.
