Frequently Asked Questions - GrandChef FSO 424 TEKA

How do I set the oven timer?

Turn the timer knob to the desired cooking time, up to 120 minutes. The oven will switch off automatically when the time is up.

How to activate the child lock?

Press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds until the lock icon appears on the display. Repeat to deactivate.

Can I use aluminium foil in the oven?

Yes, but avoid covering the oven floor completely as it may affect heat circulation. Do not let foil touch the heating elements.

How to clean the catalytic liners?

The catalytic liners absorb grease during cooking. To regenerate, run the oven empty at 250°C for 1 hour. Wipe away ash with a damp cloth.

What does the pizza function do?

The pizza function uses bottom heat and the fan to distribute heat evenly, ideal for crispy bases. Preheat the tray for best results.

Why is the oven not heating?

Check the power supply, fuse, and that the timer is set. If still not working, contact Teka service for a possible heating element replacement.

How to replace the oven light bulb?

Turn off the power. Remove the glass cover by turning counterclockwise. Replace with a 40W, 300°C resistant halogen bulb. Reattach cover.

What is the correct rack position for baking?

For most baking, use the middle rack. For grilling, use the top rack. For large items, use the lower rack to ensure even cooking.

How do I calibrate the oven temperature?

The oven is factory-calibrated. If you suspect inaccuracy, use an oven thermometer. The calibration can be adjusted by a technician.

Can I use the oven with a damaged door gasket?

No, a damaged gasket reduces efficiency and may cause burns. Replace the gasket via Teka spare parts before using the oven.

Pre-heat your oven before cooking.

You may consider the time required until the temperature light turns off for the first time as the pre-heating time.

Connect the plug to the earthed outlet. Bring the timer to manual or automatic cooking position. Set the thermostat to a proper temperature as per the values in the cooking chart. If you have set the timer to manual, you shall hear a warning sound at the end of cooking.

Some smoke and odor may occur while the protective materials on the heaters harden during the first operation of your oven. This is normal and not a manufacturing fault.

Thawing:

Remove the food to be thawed from its container and place it on the grill. Slide the rectangular tray under the grill to collect dripping water.

Thus, thawed food shall not be kept inside its thawed water. Do not use thawed water (for health purposes) and discharge it.

You may use the thawing feature as specified in the cooking chart.

Using (☐ ☐) functions during defrost is recommended.

As the thawing times vary according to the weight of the food, check it once in a while. Do not cook using the rectangular and circular trays at the same time in the oven. We recommend you to pre-heat your oven 8 to 10 minutes before cooking. This oven is intended for household cooking only. Do not use for other purposes.

FERMENTING YOGHURT

Select yoghurt mode from thermostat section while the oven is empty, set the switch to lower resistance, pre-heat for 10 minutes and start fermenting at somewhere else.

For fermenting, we boil the raw milk we have purchased at 90°C for 10-15 minutes, and then cool it down to 43-45°C (yeasting temperature). Add yeast with a ratio of 1%-3% and stir slowly while the milk is at this temperature. Put the yeast added milk to the 1st shelf of the pre-heated oven without closing its lid and close the oven door and set the timer to manual. After 5 hours, remove the fermented yoghurt from the oven and keep it at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, and keep the yoghurt without shaking it for 1 day at 4°C in a refrigerator. After 1 day, yoghurt is ready to be consumed. Bon appetite.

HYDROCLEAN FUNCTION - STEAM CLEANING

This allows cleaning of the dirt that is softened by the steam occurred inside the oven without using chemicals. Remove all accessories from the oven. Put 2 glasses of water inside the square tray and place the tray to the bottom shelf.

Bring the thermostat to steam cleaning mode. Set the timer to 30 minutes.

Bring the switch to lower resistance mode. After operating the oven for 30 minutes, open the door and wipe the inner surface of oven with a damp cloth.
