Using The Oven - Zanussi ZOB 330 User Information

Using the oven

The oven is supplied with an exclusive system
which produces a natural circulation of air and the
constant recycling of steam.
This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy
environment and keep the dishes soft inside and
crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and
energy consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which
can be released when opening the oven door.
This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during
cooking or at the end of it to allow any build
up of steam or heat to release.
Attention! - Do not place objects on the
oven base and do not cover any part of
the oven with aluminium foil while cooking,
as this could cause a heat build-up which
would affect the baking results and damage
the oven enamel. Always place pans,
heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays
on the shelf which has been inserted in the
shelf runners.When food is heated, steam
is created, like in a kettle. When the steam
comes into contact with the glass in the
oven door, it condenses and creates water
droplets.
To reduce condensation, always preheat the
empty oven for 10 minutes.
We recommend you wipe the water droplets away
after every cooking process.
Always cook with the oven door
closed. Stand clear when opening the
drop down oven door. Do not allow it to
fall open - support the door using the door
handle, until it is fully open.

The oven has four shelf levels. The shelf
positions are counted from the bottom of
the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are
correctly positioned as shown in the
diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
Fan Cooking
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 advantage of cooking with this function
is energy saving through:
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.
