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.

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.
