Building^-in 


It is important that the dimensions and materials of the surround or cabinet into which 
the oven will be built are correct and that proper arrangements are made for a 
continuous supply of air to the oven so it does not overheat. 



Dimensions of the recess for building into a kitchen unit (mm). 





























Important 

To ensure an efficient ventilation, it is 
necessary to leave the vents provided at 
the bottom of the oven clear. 


Securing the oven to the cabinet 

Fit the appliance into the cabinet recess. 
Open the oven door and secure the oven 
to the kitchen cabinet with six wood 
screws which fit exactly the holes 
provided in the oven frame (Fig. 3). 

Cooling fan 

The cooling fan is designed to cool the 
oven housing and the components of the 
oven itself 

The fan switches on automatically when 
either of the oven control knobs are 
turned on. 

Cool air is drawn in through the vents at 
the bottom of the oven to cool the oven 
and housing by absorbing the residual 
heat This warm air is then blown out 
through the venting grille incorporated in 
the upper oven door handle mechanism.

Connecting to 
electricity 

The oven is designed to be connected to 
240V - 50 Hz electricity supply. 

The upper oven has a heating element 
rated at 2500W. 

The lower oven ratings are as follows; 

Lower element 1000 W 

Upper element 1000 W 

Grill element 2000 W 

The oven has an easily accessible terminal 
block which is marked as follows; 

Letter L Live terminal 

Letter N Neutral terminal 

Earth 

The cable used must be of the three core 
type with a min. cross section of 2.5 mm^ 
In order to connect it to the oven it is 
necessary to remove the hatch at the back 
of the oven to reach the terminal block. 

For direct connection to the mains supply 
a two pole switch with a minimum rating 
of 19 A and a minimum distance of 3 mm 
between its contacts must be fitted 
between the supply and the appliance. 

This switch must not break the 
yellow/green earth cable at any point. 

The appliance must be earthed. 

Important 

After installation and connecting, the 
cable must be placed so that it cannot at 
any point reach a temperature more than 
50 "C above the ambient temperature. 
Before the appliance is connected check 
that; 

the main fuse and the domestic 
installation can support the load; 

the power supply is properly earthed; 

the double pole switch used to connect the 
appliance to the supply is easily accessible 
after installation. 


The manufacturer disclaims any 
responsibility should these safety 
instructions not be carried out 

This appliance meets the requirements 
laid down in EEC Directive No 82/499 
dated 7-6-82 relating to the suppression of 
radio and TV interference.

Use and care 


When the appliance is first 
installed 

Once the appliance is installed the 
protective materials which were put on in 
the factory must be removed. 

The plastic film covering some external 
parts can be removed by wiping with a 
cloth dipped in methylated spirit. 

Other protective materials will bum off if 
the controls of the ovens are turned to 
MAX and then let the ovens to run empty 
for 30 minutes. 

This will also remove any unpleasant 
smells. 

The FM16 consists of two ovens. 

The upper oven is evenly heated 
throughout A fan in the back waU 
distributes heated air round the food 
during cooking so that everything cooks in 
the same time regardless of where it is 
placed in the oven or how much is being 
cooked. 

Foods of different types, provided they 
require the same cooking temperature, 
can be cooked together and there is no 
possibility of any flavours or smells being 
transmitted from one food to another. 

This is the Zanussi cuisinair system. 
Cooking can be manual or automatic (with 
or without the programmer). 

The programmer includes an analogue 
clock, a minute minder and controls by 
which the upper oven can be set to come 
on and go off unattended. 

The lower oven is a conventional one and 
contains a grill. 

The grill is controlled by a thermostat 
adjusting the selected temperature. By 
positioning the grill on “MAX” the max. 
temperature is obtained. 


The dials above each control knob show 
when the oven is switched on, whilst the 
indicator lights show the behaviour of the 
thermostat during cooking. 

A light comes on inside the oven when it 
is switched on and remains on until the 
oven goes off. 

The internal dimensions are: 


Top oven 

Height 320 mm 

Width 420 mm 

Depth 390 mm 

Capacity 53,0 litres 


Bottom oven

Using the upper oven 


As soon as the oven is switched on the fan 
starts and runs until the oven control is 
switched off again (Fig. 5). 

The food should be put into the oven 
before switching on, even when cooking 
manually - the speed of heating up is so 
fast that there is no need to preheat. 

The oven shelves can be fully filled. 

Most normal types and materials of 
cooking utensils can be used. 

During cooking the door should be opened 
as little as possible to avoid heat loss and 
so excessive electricity consumption. 

Important 

The anti-tip oven grid must be positioned 
as shown in figure 6. 

Cooking manually 

When cooking manually ensure that the 
programmer is not in operation 
accidentally. 

If this is not the case and you do not want 
to use the automatic programmer, return 
the control to the manual position. 

Arrange the food in the oven, shut the 
door and turn the oven control (Fig. 5) to 
the required temperature setting. 

When the control reaches O ^ the oven 
temperature light will come on, also an 
internal oven light. 

This setting is NOT a cooking position but 
is intended for rapid thawing of frozen 
food. 

Positions from 50 °C to MAX are cooking 
positions and give a full range of 
temperatures. 

The oven temperature light will come on 
until the oven has reached the correct 
temperature; after that it will come on 
and off showing how the temperature is 
being maintained.

Cooking automatically 

The upper oven cooks automatically when 
the programmer is set to switch it on and 
off at the times given without the need for 
anyone to be in attendance. 

Most foods cook well automatically but 
preference should be given to those which 
will not be affected by the waiting period 
before the oven comes on. 

Electric programmer 

The function of the programmer is to turn 
on and off, automatically the upper oven’s 
heating element and thus to change the 
preset cooking time as one pleases. The 
programmer features an electric clock 
indicating the hour and the day and a 
minute minder with a sound signaling 
device. 

Operation of the programmer 

The figure 7 shows the controls of the 
electric programmer. 

Knob A-START 

By depressing and turning this knob the 
C-hand is set on the cooking start time. 

Knob B - •cir 

By turning this knob anticlockwise or 
clockwise it prearranges cooking duration 
on dial D (up to 3 hours). 

When pulled outwards and turned 
clockwise or anticlockwise it enables you 
to ad.just the clock time (when installed, 
following a power failure, or due to gains 
or losses of clock time). 

Upper oven manual operation 

The oven may be used in a normal 
manner, that is to say, without 
programming it. 

In such cases the programmer’s knob B 
must be turned clockwise until symbol 
"^coincides with indication of dial D. 
Furthermore, the C-hand must be covered 
by the hour hand. 


Upper oven semi-automatic 
operation 

Manual cooking start; programmed, i.e. 
automatic cooking stop: 

Place the food to be cooked into the oven; 
'Turn knob B clockwise, and set on dial D 
the number of minutes corresponding to 
the required cooking end; 

Turn the oven knob (Fig. 5) to the 
required temperature setting. 

Upper oven totally automatic 
cooking 

Place the food to be cooked in the oven; 
Press in and turn knob A so as to set the 
C-hand to the required cooking start time 
(the C-hand is integral with the hour hand 
when the oven is not in the automatic 
mode); 

Turn knob B, setting on dial D the 
required cooking duration. 

Turn the oven control knob (Fig. 5) to the 
required temperature setting. 

When the cooking time is up a sound 
signal will indicate that cooking is over. 
To stop the sound signal turn knob B 
clockwise until the “0” symbol appears on 
dial D. 

In this position the oven is disconnected 
from the electric supply. 

If the sound signal is not interrupted it 
will do so automatically after 
approximately 10 minutes. 


9 



Example of programmer setting for 
automatic operation of the oven. 

Cooking start time: 17.00 hours; 

Cooking duration: 90 minutes (max. 

180 minutes); 

Press-in and turn knob A, setting the 
C-hand on 5 (corresponding to 17.00 
hours); 

Turn knob B, setting dial D to 90; 

Turn the oven control knob (Fig. 5) to the 
desired temperature level. 

After carrying out the above settings, the 
oven will operate automatically from 
17.00 hours to 18.30 hours, i.e., for 1 hour 
and 30 minutes. 

Minute minder 

The programmer will act as a minute 
minder only if no automatic cooking is 
programmed and the oven is not turned on. 
To operate the minute minder, turn knob 
B clockwise and set on dial D the required 
cooking time. The maximum allowed 
cooking duration is 180 minutes. 

To stop the sound signal turn knob B until 
the “0” symbol coincides with the index of 
dialD. 

Programmed cooking 

Programmed cooking is no different to 
normal cooking. The programmer controls 
the selected cooking time while one may 
be busy doing other things; therefore, 
when cooking is carried out automatically 
it’s preferable to cook food which does not 
require particular attention. 


Using the lower oven 


Preheat the oven, arrange the food in the 
oven, shut the door and turn the selector 
knob (Fig. 8) to symbol S ; turn then the 
temperature regulator knob (Fig. 9) to the 
required temperature. 

By turning the selector knob to position 
S the oven light will come on; 
this operation will also maintain the 
general control light on until the knob is 
turned again to position “0”. The cooking 
positions of the temperature regulator 
knob (Fig. 9) are the positions from 50 ’ to 
MAX and give a full range of temperatures. 
The oven temperature light will come on 
and will remain on until the oven has 
reached the correct temperature; after 
that it will come off and on shovnng how 
the temperature is being maintained. 
When the oven control reaches □ the 
bottom element comes on and a max. 
temperature of 280 "C can be obtained. 
When the oven control reaches □, the top 
element comes on and a max. temperature 
of 260 "C can be obtained. These settings 
are particularly useful for finishing food 
either only on the top or the bottom. 
During cooking, the door should be 
opened as little as possible to avoid heat 
loss and so excessive electricity 
consumption. 


Attention 

If at the end of the programmed cooking 
time the oven remains still in operation it 
will be necessary to re-program it again or 
carry out cooking by setting up the 
minute minder.

Using the grill 



Fig. 8 



Fig. 9 



The grill is located in the lower oven. As 
with the oven, the grill control can be set 
to a number of different heats (Fig. 8). 

At MAX position the maximum 
temperature is obtained. 

Foods to be grilled are placed on the wire 
grid in the grill pan which can be ac^usted 
on the side grids either upwards or 
downwards to give the required distance 
from the element. 

For foods which require a longer grilling, 
the grill pan has to be set on the lower 
positions. 


Important 

Because the grill element is in the top of 
the lower oven, the door must be opened 
when grilling. 

This means that the escaping heat from 
the grill could overheat the upper oven 
door and the control panel, so to prevent 
this happening it is essential that the heat 
deflector provided to protect the rest of 
the appliance is in place before the grill is 
switched on. 

The deflector is put in place as shown in 
Fig. 10. 

To use the grill 

Open the door and put the heat deflector 
in position. Turn the oven selector knob 
(Fig. 8) to B an then set the grill 
regulator knob (Fig. 9) to the heat setting 
required. 

A little use and practice will soon show 
which heat setting is the best for the 
individual user. 

When grilling is over remove the heat 
deflector and shut the door.

Maintenance and 
cleaning 

Important 

The electricity supply must be switched 
off before undeitaking any maintenance 
operation. 

The oven will have a longer life if it is 
frequently cleaned thoroughly, paying 
special attention to the following; 

The cleaning should not be carried out 
when the oven is still warm; 

The enamelled parts should be cleaned 
with lukewarm water and soap without 
using abrasive scourers which may 
damage them; 

The parts in stainless steel after their 
cleaning, are to be dried with chamois 
leather. 

Never use abrasive scourers or steel wool, 
muriatic acid or other abrasive cleaners 
which may scratch the finish. The 
enamelled and glass parts should not be 
cleaned while they are still warm. 

Grease filter (upper oven) 

This filter protects the fan from fat 
splashes; it should always be cleaned after 
roasting has taken place. 

As it is stainless steel you can safely wash 
it in a dishwasher. 

Install the grease filter only when roasting 
fat meats. 

Removing the grease filter (Fig. li) 
To remove the filter, proceed as follows: 
pull up the protruding tongue and then 
pull the filter outwards, removing it from 
the rear panel.

Removing and cleaning the oven 
panels (Supplied on request) 

If you wish to remove lateral and upper 
panels proceed as follows: 

Remove the upper panel; unscrew the 
fixing ring nuts of the side runners 
(Fig. 12); 

Remove the runners and the panels 
(Fig. 13); 

If necessary, you can also remove the back 
panel, but in this case you have also to 
disconnect the electricity supply. 

Unscrew the panel fixing screws by 
means of a screwdriver (Fig. 14). 

In order to protect the upper oven the 
appliance features an enamelled panel, 
suitably shaped, to contain possible liquid 
overflowings. 

To make thorough cleaning of this panel 
easier, you can extract it from the bottom 
by pulling it up. 

If you use an oven spray cleaner, be 
careful not to spray it on the oven fan and 
on the thermostat feeler. 

Cleaning the lower oven 

The oven interior is made of a strong 
vitreous enamel and therefore can be 
cleaned with any normal caustic oven 
cleaner. 

Remove, by pulling out, the infrared grill 
(Fig. 15) and put the safety plug into the 
grill socket (Fig. 15). 

Remove the side mnners as described for 
the upper oven. 

Important 

Please take care to follow the oven 
cleaner manufacturers instructions 
precisely. 

Care must be taken to ensure that the 
oven cleaner does not come into contact 
with the aluminium and painted surfaces 
of the appliance. 


13 








Replacing appliance components 

Prior to undertaking any maintenance 
work or replacing the oven lamp or grill 
heating element, be sure to disconnect the 
appliance from the electric supply. 

1. Control Knobs 

These can be removed by pulling them 
out. 

2. Oven lamp replacement 

Unscrew glasscap (Fig. 16) and replace 
bumt-out bulb with one that resists to 
high temperatures (300 "C). 

Electric bulb: 15W, 240V, 50Hz, 300"C. 
E14. 

Removing the oven door 

To thoroughly clean the oven you should 
remove the door by proceeding as follows: 

1. With the aid of a coin, turn the oven 
door stops (catches) 45" to the right. 

2. Raise the door to the limit stop and 
pull it out in a forward direction (Fig. 17). 
Grasp the door on the two sides - don’t 
pull it by the handle! 

To re-install the door: 

1. Insert the door into the oven with its 
two brackets. 

2. Open the oven door and return the door 
stops (catches) to their original position.

What happens 
if something goes 
wrong 


Important 

If the ovens do not come on when cooking 
manually, first check that the fault is with 
both ovens - it may be that if it is the 
upper one only that is affected there is 
probably a simple answer - the 
programmer is set to automatic - to set 
it to manual turn the control knob to 
the required position. If this is not the 
answer then: 

check that the appliance is connected 
correctly; 

check that the switch from the supply to 
the appliance is ON; 

replace the fuse in the socket, where 
present, with another of the appropriate 
rating; 

check that the fuse in the fuse box is 
intact 

If after all these checks the appliance still 
does not work, call your local Zanussi 
Network service centre listed in the 
telephone directory. 

It helps to jot down the address and 
telephone number in the space below.
