For your safety

Never leave the cooker unattended when the oven door is open.

We suggest that you run the oven without food for approximately 10 - 15 minutes at gas mark 7 to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

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.

ZDG 862 specifications

The Zanussi ZDG 862 is a reliable and efficient gas double oven cooker, combining function, style, and modern technology to meet all your culinary needs. Not only does it boast an elegant design that complements any kitchen decor, but it also offers a wide array of features that make cooking a breeze.

One of the standout characteristics of the ZDG 862 is its dual oven design. The main oven provides ample space for cooking larger meals, while the secondary oven is perfect for smaller dishes or side items. Both ovens are equipped with a range of cooking functions, including baking, grilling, and conventional cooking, ensuring that you have the flexibility to prepare your favorite recipes in various ways.

In terms of technology, the Zanussi ZDG 862 includes fan-assisted cooking in the main oven, which guarantees an even distribution of heat. This results in quicker cooking times and perfectly baked dishes every time. The grill function also gives users the option to achieve that sought-after crispy finish on meats and vegetables.

Another key feature of the ZDG 862 is its user-friendly controls. The knobs allow for precise temperature adjustments, and the easily accessible timers ensure you can keep track of cooking times with ease. This cooker also features a flame failure device, which enhances safety by automatically shutting off the gas supply if the flame goes out.

Cleaning is often a concern when it comes to cooking appliances, but Zanussi has taken steps to simplify this process in the ZDG 862. The oven interiors are designed with grease-proof surfaces that make wipes easy, helping you maintain cleanliness with minimal effort. Additionally, the removable oven doors enable access to hard-to-reach areas for thorough cleaning.

The ZDG 862 is designed for efficiency with energy-saving features that comply with modern standards. Gas cooking is inherently more efficient than electric cooking, and this model is no exception, allowing for rapid heating and reduced cooking times.

With its combination of practical features and stylish design, the Zanussi ZDG 862 is an excellent choice for home cooks who value performance, safety, and ease of use. Whether you're preparing a quick weeknight dinner or an elaborate feast, this gas double oven cooker is versatile enough to handle all your cooking needs.
