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.

For the best results we recommend that you use a baking tray which is 310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is larger than this, you may need to turn the food around during cooking.

Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn large items around during cooking.

Roasting

For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing.

It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes.

If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).

When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is fully cooked.

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.

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.
