Zanussi Electrolux ZOU270 User Manual - Operation
Important! There is a hot surface label on the oven
door. Please remove the label from the door before first
use of the appliance.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on immediately the top oven or
grill is switched on. It may run on after the ovens are
switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the
cooling down period the cooling fan may switch on and
off.
Warning! Always allow the cooling fan to cool
the appliance down before switching off the
electrical supply to carry out cleaning or maintenance.
Control panel indicator neon(s)
The indicator neon will operate when the oven(s) is
switched on. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn
on and off during use to show that the setting is being
maintained. If the neon does not operate as the in-
structions indicate the controls have been incorrectly
set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the
instructions for the required setting.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the appli-
ance when opening the door(s) to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and
is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away conden-
sation and foodstuff from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appli-
ance should be securely fixed to the wall.
Cookware
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly
against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12”
x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance.
Setting the Time
The oven only operates when the time has been
set.
1. When the appliance is connected to the electrical
supply or when there has been a power cut, Time
flashes automatically.
2. Using the or button, set the current time.
3. After approx. 5 seconds, the clock stops flashing
and the clock displays the time of day set.

Operation
The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated
by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweet
and savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is ideal for use as a warming compart-
ment. It can be used to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature
control.
