Surrounded by lush tropical gardens and sparkling blue lagoons, Sheraton Mirage Resort and Spa Gold Coast is a place where memories are made. Step from your room onto pristine white sands and dive into the rolling surf of the Pacific Ocean. An oasis of rare beauty, they are the Gold Coast's only resort located right on the beach.

Late 2010, JL Lennard's Far South East QLD - Northern NSW Authorised Zanussi Professional Products Distributor Pacific Commercial Equipment were commissioned by the Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa located on the beach at the Gold Coast, to replace the infamous pool bar & kitchen's commercial catering equipment.

The Sheraton Mirage chose to replace their existing Zanussi Professional Equipment that had been in operation since the late 80's original fit out with the latest & greatest equipment that Zanussi Professional had to offer this decade, the N900 Series of equipment was recommended purely for it's aesthetic prowess as well as the high performance that the range had to offer, this couple with the approx reductions of up to 35% in gas consumption just topped it all off for the resort.

The N900 Series offer the best in the market manufacturing techniques with all panels laser cut to ensure a seamless finish to all equipment when lined and leveled together, this assists the operator greatly when it comes to cleaning the equipment at the end of it's daily cycle, just spray on a neutral detergent and wipe away the mess, no liquids or solids can get down the side of the equipment once they have been secured together with Zanussi's equipment securing system.

TOUCH ME - I'M YOURS

Programmable Combi oven with automatic cooking and automatic cleaning system


Just one single touch on the high-definition screen is all it takes to manage a variety of functions, cooking modes, temperatures and time settings: all simplified into user-friendly icons and images.
Any recipe can be easily created just with the touch on the screen - no knobs and no buttons.

Simplicity, user-friendliness, intuitivity and completeness are part of ZANUSSI Professional philosophy.
The software menu gives the possibility to choose from 30 different languages, which means that the oven can be used all over the world and with a multi-cultural staff.

All the icons and images are easily recognized world-wide. The search menu is simple and the pop-up menus explain all the features in a clear way. The oven has three different cooking modes: automatic, programs and manual.



Ensuring food safety is also a simple procedure: the Food Safe Program acts as a supervisor which guarantees food safety even when cooking at low temperature, just press the Food Safe Control, choose the food safety category, insert the probe and the oven will do the rest.

When the cooking cycle is finished a green flag appears if the food has reached the HACCP safety level, otherwise a red cross will be displayed, if the food has not reached it yet.

HACCP data can be saved to your PC with the use of an USB key without any additional softwares.
The EasySteamPlus ovens blend these state-of-the-art technological features with the ones coming from Zanussi 's extensive experience, such as the humidity control, the evenness in cooking, the steam generator, the 6-sensor probe and the authomatic cleaning system.

EasySteamPlus - 3 cooking modes

Intuitive and simple to use, now more than ever: this revolutionary oven allows any user to set all the parametres in a matter of seconds, in addition to the large touch screen display can be clearly visible even from a great distance.
Created to operate in three different cooking modes for maximum flexibility:
  • automatic programs for untrained staff
  • recipe programs for catering and banqueting
  • manual mode for the most creative and professional chefs
Your final cooking results are assured thanks to the Lambda sensor for real humidity control, the LTC program for reduced weight loss and the bi-functional fan for cooking evenness.

automatic cooking mode

The Automatic mode is the perfect solution for anyone who has little or no experience in food preparation. Select the food family, the cooking mode, the type of food, and just press Start: the oven will automatically adapt itself to the load and will choose all the necessary cooking phases and parameters to obtain a perfect result.
The pre-set recipes can be personalized and saved according the preferences. This mode offers 8 cooking categories according to different food types and 3 special cycles: Low Temperature, Regeneration and Proving.
The cooking time, temperature and ideal cooking climate are then calculated automatically and continuously adjusted.


programs cooking mode

The Programs mode is the ideal solution in case of repeated menus as well as high productivity ones, in case one cannot count on a master Chef's experience in every location.
Select the recipe and press Start. EasySteamPlus will work for you! Only this oven offers enough space for up to 1,000 recipes, which can be saved in a USB key, without the need of any other specific software and then replicated or sent via e-mail, thus ensuring uniformity and the same cooking and taste standards in different locations.

As the recipes and personal settings can be saved on a USB key, the chef can work anywhere just carrying the USB all over the world.

manual cooking mode



The Manual mode has been developed for experienced chefs: it allows to set and keep the oven under constant control at the touch of a finger, while taking care of the everyday activities in the kitchen. The panel can be personalized with favourite settings; the management of temperature, time, cooking chamber climate and uniform heat distribution are of utmost importance, while using this program. Just select the cooking cycle, the temperatuture and the time and then press Start. All the advanced functions are present in a separate drawer.
However, the traditional cooking cycles can still be selected, just choose:
  • for low humidity baking, use the convection cycle (max. 300°C)
  • for vacuum packed, re-thermalization and delicate cooking, use the Low Temperature steam cycle (max. 100°C)
  • for steamed seafood and vegetables, use Steam cycle (max. 100°C)
  • to obtain a humidity-controlled cooking environment, accelerating the cooking process and reducing weight loss, use the Combination cycle (max. 250°C), which combines convected heat and steam.


EasySteamPlus - The automatic cleaning system

The automatic cleaning system in the EasyLine ovens makes cleaning operations extremely easy. It is integrated directly in the oven so there is no need for any extra operations to begin the procedure. Thanks to the automatic stand by mode, it is not necessary to wait until the end of the cleaning cycles: just select the program and the oven will work instead of you. Choose from 4 pre-set cycles depending on residue level: from 32 up to 110 minutes, without necessary waste of detergent or water.
In case of a power failure during the cleaning cycles, the Combi oven automatically rinses the chamber when the power returns, to remove any eventual detergent residue as well as to guarantee safety and hygiene.
