Things To Note; To Fit The Top Oven Shelf; Hints And Tips - Zanussi ZDF867 Instruction Booklet

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
2. The cooling fan for the controls may operate,
after a period of time.
3. Dishes, tins or trays should not be placed directly
on the top oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The cranked shelf should be fitted with the straight
rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS

·
All cooking should be carried out on shelf
positions one and two using a cranked shelf.
When more space is required, for example when
roasting or casseroling, a straight shelf from the
main oven may be placed on the top oven base.

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 below the
element.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to
prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help
reduce cleaning.
DO NOT place baking trays directly on the oven
floor as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.
The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking
tray as this will increase base browning of the
food.
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required.
