The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Zanussi Service Centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
The Cooling Fan for the Controls
This oven is provided with a cooling fan, meant to keep the front panel, the knobs and the oven door handle cool. This fan may run on after the oven or grill is switched off, until a normal temperature is reached.
When the oven is first installed
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the oven accessories. The oven will work only if the time of day has been set (please read the relevant instructions). Once the oven has been installed: a) set the thermostat knob to MAX (250); b) switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking ( ); c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes; d) open a window for ventilation. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of manufacturing. Repeat this operation for the grill and fan cooking function. Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water. To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part (Fig. 3). Fig. 3
