Before The First Use; Using The Fan Oven - Zanussi ZBF 760 Operating And Installation Manual

Before the First Use

Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the
appliance.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
1. Set the electronic timer to manual
function.
2. Switch the oven function control knob to
fan cooking
3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Using the Fan Oven

The air inside the oven is heated by the element
around the fan situated behind the back panel. The
fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature
inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:
Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not
usually necessary to preheat the oven although you
may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes
on cooking times. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is
preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles,
etc.
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart at
page. 11 or remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25 C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
.
Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same food
can be cooked in the oven at the same time. However,
the top shelf may brown slightly quicker that the
lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.
