Installing the oven  
For your safety  
This oven must be installed and serviced by a competent person  
as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) (Amendment)  
regulations current edition.  
It is important that the oven is suitable for your gas supply.  
Your installer should check the data badge.  
Cabinet Dimensions  
This oven must be fitted into a cabinet with a suitable sized aperture.  
Minimum aperture height  
Minimum aperture width  
Minimum aperture depth  
874mm  
560mm  
560mm  
For more details on suitable cabinet sizes refer to the Installation and  
Servicing Instructions supplied with your oven.  
Location  
For your safety  
All gas ovens require adequate ventilation. The room the oven is  
fitted in must have a good air supply that meets the standard BS  
5440 Part 2 (current edition). Your installer will tell you if you are  
not sure.  
The oven may be placed in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or bedsit  
but not in a bathroom or shower room. It should not be installed  
in a bedsit smaller than 20m3. (Ask your installer).

General information  
To get the best results from your new oven please read these  
instructions carefully.  
You should pay particular attention to cooking times and gas mark  
settings as these may differ from your previous oven. You may find it  
necessary to adjust these until you are more familiar with the oven.  
For your safety  
Do not block any of the oven vents.  
Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.  
Do not let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such  
as kettle flexes trail over any part of the oven.  
Oven housing units vary widely in construction and finish. To avoid  
possible damage to the housing unit, you must not leave cabinet doors  
or flaps above the oven open or partially open when you use the grill or  
oven. If you have a storage area above your oven it will become warm  
when you use the oven. Do not store perishable foods in the storage  
area above the oven.  
The cooling fan for the controls  
Your oven has a cooling fan. The cooling fan will start to work as soon  
as you light the grill or oven. You will be able to hear the fan when it is  
working.  
The cooling fan may continue to work after you have turned off the  
oven or grill. It will switch itself on and off until the oven has cooled  
down.  
If you want to turn off the electrical supply to the oven, you should  
not do so until the cooling fan has stopped working.  
For your safety  
When you are using the grill or oven warm air will exhaust from  
the grill cavity and the vents below the control panel.  
Take care not to stand too close to the oven or grill while in use.

Z D G 5 8  
Ignition  
The grill and oven burners light automatically when you turn on the  
control. If, for any reason either of the burners go out, the spark ignition  
will automatically relight it.  
Please note:  
You can only use the grill with the door fully or partially open. You  
cannot use the grill when the door is closed.  
You cannot use the oven or grill in the event of a power failure.  
Oven lights  
Your oven is fitted with two oven lights.  
The oven lights will come on when you use the oven.  
Oven light bulbs will usually last for many months. If one or both lights  
do not work, you probably need to replace a bulb. See page 34 for  
details on how to change an oven light bulb.  
Connecting to the electricity supply  
For your safety  
This cooker must be earthed and protected by a 3 amp fuse.  
The plug supplied with the oven can be fitted directly to a suitable three  
pin earthed socket.  
If you have to change the fuse replace it with a 3 amp fuse which  
has been ASTA approved to BS 1362.  
Do not use the plug until you have put the fuse cover back on. If the  
fuse cover is lost you can get a replacement from an electrical retailer.  
The correct replacement can be identified by marking or colour coding.  
If you cut the plug off dispose of it safely as it will be a shock hazard  
if it is inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house.  
If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the  
electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of  
electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the  
plug.  
If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the oven which must be put  
right. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry  
out other electrical work. Unplug the oven and tell your installer.

Z D G 5 8  
The grill  
When you first turn the grill on you will be able to smell residues from  
the grill surface being burnt off. It may be necessary to open a window  
for ventilation.  
The smell will disappear after using the grill a few times.  
Heat control  
The grill gives variable heat settings.  
The control knob turns to the left from  
'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high  
setting should be used for fast cooking such  
as toast. Use a lower setting to cook thicker  
foods such as chicken after it has been  
browned on the high setting.  
You should remember to turn the food  
regularly.  
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to  
cook the food.  
The grill pan should be used on the shelf without the metal plate  
underneath it. The shelf can be positioned in any of the runner  
positions. You can reverse the grill pan grid to suit different types of  
food.  
If you close the door whilst the grill burner is lit, it will go out and you  
will hear a continuous 'sparking'. The burner will automatically re-light  
when you open the door.  
For your safety  
You must keep the grill door fully or partially open when the grill  
burner is lit.  
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used.  
Young children should be kept away.

Z D G 5 8  
Cooking positions  
Most food should be cooked on the grid in  
the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to  
suit different thicknesses of food.  
You can place some dishes straight on  
the grill shelf. This is useful when you are  
browning the top of food such as cauliflower  
cheese.  
Preheating  
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it  
for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.  
Putting food on the grid  
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and  
muffins towards the centre of the grid. If you  
put food outside this area it may require  
rotating during cooking.  
Place food which needs a more gentle  
heat, such as tomatoes or mushrooms  
towards the edge of the grid.  
Arrange meat, meat products and fish to  
suit their thickness and how you like them  
cooked.  
To prevent excess fat splashing when you use the grill place the trivet in  
the grill pan below the grill grid.

Z D G 5 8  
Grill shelf  
The grill shelf can be slotted into place in any of two positions. For  
safety the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove the shelf  
completely pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift  
it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge  
raised, slot the shelf onto the runner, lower the front edge and slide the  
shelf in.  
You should use the shelf without the  
metal plate when grilling.  
Use shelf position one when toasting and  
adjust the height of the grid to suit.  
Shelf positions are counted from the top  
downwards.  
For your safety  
Always remove the grill pan before attempting to adjust the shelf  
position. Oven gloves should be used when removing the grill  
pan or pulling the shelf in and out.  
Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.  
11  
 
Z D G 5 8  
The grill pan and handle  
The grill pan has a removable handle. This should be removed during  
grilling.  
To attach the handle, press the button on the handle with your thumb.  
Lift the handle upwards slightly and put it into the widest part of the grill  
pan bracket. Move the handle to the left and lower into position. You  
can now release the button. Make sure the handle is firmly located.  
When you remove the handle, press the button on the handle with your  
thumb and lift the handle upwards slightly and towards the right to  
remove it from the grill pan bracket.  
For your safety  
Make sure your hand is protected when removing the grill pan  
handle as the grill can become very hot.  
Always make sure you remove the grill pan handle when grilling.  
If left in position it will get hot.  
To sit the grill pan on the shelf correctly, make sure that the cut out on  
the underside of the handle bracket sits over the front bar of the shelf.  
12  
 
Z D G 5 8  
To check the progress of the food when using the grill you should  
withdraw the grill pan on the shelf to attend to food. After removing the  
grill pan you can rest it on a heat resistant work surface if you need to.  
Plate warming  
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates while the oven is on.  
Do not place plates to warm under the grill when it is on as this may  
damage the plates.  
13  
 
Z D G 5 8  
The oven  
Before you use the oven you should wipe it  
out with a damp cloth to remove any dust.  
When you first turn the oven on you will be  
able to smell residues from the oven  
surfaces being burnt off. It may be necessary  
to open a window for ventilation.  
The smell will disappear after using the oven a few times.  
Heat zones  
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. You can use the base of the oven to  
warm plates.  
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.  
Preheating  
You do not need to preheat the oven for casseroling and so on.  
Preheat the oven 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 need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for  
20 minutes.

Z D G 5 8  
Oven shelves  
The two oven shelves can be slotted into place in any of 5 positions. For  
safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf  
completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift  
it out.  
To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge raised,  
slot the shelf onto the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in.  
The shelf positions are counted from the  
top downwards and recommended shelf  
positions are given in the cooking charts on  
pages 18, 19 and 20. When cooking always  
try to leave at least one runner position  
between shelves to allow the heat to  
circulate properly.  
The recommended shelf positions given in the oven cooking charts give  
the best results.  
When you only need to use one shelf you can store the other shelf  
above or below the one you are using where there is more space.  
Use the shelf with the metal plate in a higher runner position when  
cooking on two levels.  
15  
 
Z D G 5 8  
Baking trays and dishes  
For your safety  
Never place cooking dishes, trays  
and so on over the oven burner.  
This will damage the oven as well  
as the ovenware and possibly the  
cabinet underneath the oven.  
Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all  
dishes and the sides of the oven so the  
heat can circulate properly.  
Do not push dishes too far back as food  
will burn if it overhangs the burner flames.  
The baking tray we have supplied with your oven has been designed  
and tested to give the best results from your oven. If you use a tray or  
tin which is larger than this, you may need to turn it around during  
cooking.  
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn  
large items around during cooking.  
Condensation  
Condensation may form on the oven. This is quite normal and nothing  
to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are  
present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible try to make  
sure that food which contains a lot of moisture for example casseroles  
are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight away.

Oven cooking chart  
These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes.  
When you are using both shelves, use the shelf with the metal plate in the higher position.  
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking or you  
can take the top tray out of the oven when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.  
Always leave at least one shelf position between shelves to allow heat to circulate.  
The recommended shelf positions give the best results.  
Put the dishes in the centre of the shelf.  
You can change the gas marks and cooking times to suit your own tastes.  
It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.

Slow cooking  
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly  
useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the  
long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender.  
Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow  
cooking because the temperature is too low.  
Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can  
uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.  
Food preparation-slow cooking  
Joints of meat and poultry  
l Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).  
l Do not cook poultry over 2kg (4lb 8oz).  
l Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.  
l Cook stuffing separately.  
l Cook for at least 6 hours.  
l Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by using a meat  
thermometer, that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88oC.  
l For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in the roasting  
tin or casserole  
l Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before you cook it.  
l Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow cooking.  
l Cut off unwanted fat and skin unless it is browned first.  
21  
 
Z D G 5 8  
Soups, casseroles and stews  
l Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb).  
l Do not cook two (1.8kg) (2lb) casseroles on slow cook setting at the  
same time.  
l Cook in the middle of the oven or above.  
l Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
l Cook for up to 9 hours.  
Vegetables  
l Cut into small pieces.  
l Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15  
minutes before adding to any dish.  
l To prevent vegetables from discolouring, add lemon juice.  
l Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.  
l Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
l Cook for up to 6 hours.  
Milk puddings  
l Make the pudding in the usual way.  
l For delicate puddings such as egg custard, place the dish in a bain  
marie and cover the dish with tin foil.  
l Cook for 2 - 4 hours.  
General points for slow cooking  
Frozen foods  
Thaw thoroughly before cooking.  
Thickening  
Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Alternatively blend cornflour with  
water and add it at the end of cooking.  
Flavouring  
Flavours are held in the food because there is little evaporation. Adjust  
flavouring at the end of the cooking time.  
22  
 
Z D G 5 8  
Liquid  
Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking.  
Milk and milk products, for example cream  
Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling.  
Reheating  
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge.  
Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the usual  
way or in a microwave.  
Only reheat food once.

The electronic timer  
Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2pm is shown as  
1400.  
Cookpot symbol  
In the following pages we explain how to  
set the controls. Read through them until  
you're familiar with the procedure. We have  
supplied a plastic card as a quick reference  
when setting the timer.  
Selector  
Setting knob  
If the oven is switched off on the wall, or there is a loss of power, the  
clock will stop and you will not be able to use the oven. When you first  
switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.  
During the hours of 10p.m. (22.00hrs) and 6a.m. the display will glow  
dim. If a function is selected the display will glow brighter until the  
function is complete. It will then revert back to the dim mode.  
To set the time of day  
Turn and hold the selector knob to clock.  
The cookpot symbol (  
) is showing.  
Set the correct time by turning the setting  
knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning  
the setting knob in either direction. The  
selector knob will return to 'manual' when  
you let go of it.  
To use the minute minder  
Turn the selector knob to 'timer'  
Turn the setting knob clockwise until the  
display shows the time you want. Our  
diagram shows the timer set to 5 minutes.  
When you are using the minute minder you can make the clock show  
the time of day by turning the selector knob to 'manual'.  
At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound. Switch off the alarm  
by turning the selector knob to 'manual'.

Automatic control  
When you use the automatic controls for the first time it's probably best  
to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to  
make sure you've set everything correctly and you'll feel much more  
confident when you are away from home in the future.  
Setting the controls for automatic use  
This is very easy. All you have to do is work through the steps below.  
The clock will work out the rest for itself.  
1 Is the electricity supply on?  
2
Is the clock  
showing the  
correct time?  
To adjust turn and hold  
the selector knob to  
'clock' and turn the  
setting knob in either  
direction.

How long will  
the food take  
to cook?  
Turn the selector knob to  
'cook'. Then turn the  
setting knob until the  
length of time you want  
the food to cook shows  
in the display. The  
maximum cooking time  
is 23 hours and 59  
minutes. 'Auto' will show  
in the display.

you want the 'Stop'. Turn the setting knob  
food to be  
cooked by?  
until the time the oven is to  
switch off shows in the  
display. The cookpot (  
will go out.  
)
The 'Stop' time must not be  
more than 23 hours 59  
minutes from the time of  
day. For example if the time  
of day is 9.00 am the latest  
'Stop' time will be 8.59 am  
the next day.

automatic.  
6 Turn on the  
oven control.  
Turn the oven control to  
mark 9 then to the gas mark  
you want.  
The time shown on the chart gives an example of setting the automatic  
controls when the time is 9.00 am, the food is to be cooked for 2½  
hours and the food is needed at 6.00 pm (1800 hours).  
The clock will work out what time the oven will switch itself on and it will  
turn the oven off at the end. Once the automatic sequence is finished  
there will be an alarm and the 'Auto' symbol flashes to remind you that  
you need to set the oven for manual operation. To do this turn the  
selector knob to 'manual'.  
Turn off the oven control.  
To cancel an automatic programme  
If you change your mind and want to cancel a programme that you have  
set turn the selector knob to 'Cook' and turn the setting knob until 0.00  
shows in the display.  
Turn the selector knob to 'manual'.

Hints and tips for automatic cooking  
1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are  
familiar with the timer operation.  
2 If the oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using  
for automatic cooking.  
3 You should leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible  
before automatic cooking starts.  
4 Do not leave food to stand in the oven when it has finished cooking.  
You should remove it and if it is not going to be eaten at once, cool it  
quickly.  
5 If you cannot remove food from the oven as soon as it is cooked  
make sure that the food is covered.  
6 Choose perishable foods carefully, especially during warm weather.  
7 Food should be fresh and preferably straight from the refrigerator.  
8 Joints of meat and poultry must be completely thawed.  
9 Dishes containing left over cooked meat or poultry should not be  
cooked automatically if there is a delay period.  
10 Choose dishes which require approximately the same cooking time.  
Slight variations may be allowed by:-  
i) placing foods in larger or smaller containers  
ii) using more or less liquid  
iii) cutting fruit or vegetables into larger or smaller pieces.  
These will give longer or shorter cooking times respectively. Further  
temperature adjustments can be made by placing the foods higher  
or lower in the oven as the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom.  
11 Arrange shelf positions to suit dishes and choose dishes which will  
fit into the oven together.  
12 As food may be standing for some time in the oven, cover dishes  
with foil or a lid where possible, and in the case of roast potatoes  
and joints of meat, brush with a little fat or oil. Lemon juice may be  
added to fruit and vegetables to prevent browning.  
13 Cream should be added just before serving.  
14 If alcohol is used fermentation can occur.  
15 Green leaf vegetables which take only a short time to cook, should  
not be placed into the oven with the automatic meal. It is far better to  
cook them in a pan on the hotplate whilst dishing up the rest of the

Care and cleaning  
For your safety  
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas oven  
clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire.  
Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen.  
But be careful as parts of the appliance will be hot.  
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or  
soap powder except those recommended in this booklet.  
Please note: If we recommend you  
use hot soapy water we mean hot  
water with washing up liquid in it and  
not any other cleaning product.  
If you own a dishwasher please  
read the operating instructions for the  
machine before you wash any part of  
your cooker.  
Clean your oven regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out in  
hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.  
When you remove parts of your oven for cleaning do not plunge  
them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of  
the parts.  
You must not remove the control knobs when cleaning the control  
panel.  
The grill  
Clean the grill compartment, the shelf, grill pan and handle, grid and  
trivet, and the inner grill door while they are still slightly warm. This way  
you can easily remove any splashes and spills. Clean them with a cloth  
that has been wrung out in soapy water. You may use mild abrasives  
such as 'Jif'. For more stubborn marks you may occasionally need to  
use a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'.  
28  
 
Z D G 5 8  
The oven  
Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves, the meat tin, cake tray,  
and the oven door while they are still slightly warm. This way you can  
easily remove any splashes and spills. You may use mild abrasives.  
The heat in the oven will change the colour of the metal plate on the  
shelf. You must not remove the solid plate from the shelf. You can soak  
the shelf for a few minutes in hot soapy water to make cleaning easier.  
If you use any oven cleaners on the oven base they must have the  
Vitreous Enamel Development Council (VEDC) seal of approval. Follow  
the instructions on the cleaning agent and protect the oven burner with  
aluminium foil to prevent it from becoming blocked. Do not use any  
cleaning products on the top, sides and back of your oven.  
The top, sides and back of your oven are coated in a special material  
which helps to keep itself clean.  
Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special  
finish.  
Do not overfill dishes or they will boil over.  
Do not use dishes too high in the oven. If  
you do they may stick to the oven roof.  
Cover your roasting tins with foil. This will  
prevent fat splashing.  
Use a roasting tin which is just large  
enough for the meat and potatoes. This will  
help to reduce fat splashing.  
Dry any vegetables that you are going to  
roast. If they are wet there will be more fat  
splashing.  
Follow the oven cleaning cycle regularly.  
29  
 
Z D G 5 8  
Oven cleaning cycle  
You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the oven in good  
condition. The type of cooking you do will affect how often you need to  
follow the cycle.  
If you do a lot of roasting and very little baking you should follow the  
cleaning cycle once a week. If you do very little roasting you will only  
need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2-3 weeks.  
To carry out a cleaning cycle:  
1 Remove the oven shelves.  
2 Set the oven to mark 5 for  
at least 30 minutes.  
3 Turn the temperature up to  
mark 7 for 2 hours or until  
the oven is presentably  
clean. Some staining will  
remain.  
Do not use any cleaning agents  
or scrapers on the inside of the  
oven. Do not wash the special  
finish.

Cleaning between the outer and inner  
door glass  
You can remove the glass from the oven and grill doors if you need to.  
The grill door is fitted with a trim. You must note the correct position of  
the trim when you remove the grill door glass.  
To remove the outer glass  
1 Open the door so you can get at the two cross head screws on the  
top of the door.  
2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver.  
3 You should hold the door glass securely in place with one hand,  
whilst removing the screws completely, with the other hand. If you  
do not do this, the door glass could fall forward. Still holding the door  
glass, remove the trim from the top of the grill door.  
Note the correct position of the grill door trim. The oven door does  
not have a trim.  
4 Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you.  
Lift it slightly to disengage the locators at the bottom of the door.  
5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild  
abrasives such as 'Jif'.  
6 Replace the glass by holding it in both hands and gently placing the  
locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the door.  
Push the top of the glass towards the door, and make sure the  
screw location holes line up. Replace the trim on top of the grill door  
making sure that it is correctly positioned. You can check this by  
looking through the air gap on the top of the door and checking that  
the screw location holes line up.  
7 Hold the glass in place with one hand and replace the cross head  
screws into the location holes, with the other hand.  
8 Tighten the screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. Close the door.
