Frequently Asked Questions - OCA652 Profilo

How do I preheat the oven?

Turn the function knob to the desired cooking function (e.g., convection) and set the temperature using the temperature knob. Wait until the oven indicator light turns off or shows the target temperature.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Aluminum foil can be used, but avoid covering the oven floor entirely to prevent heat buildup. Use it on racks or trays, and keep away from heating elements.

How do I clean the oven interior?

Wipe the enamel interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each use. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive oven cleaner. Do not use harsh scrubbers.

What is the difference between fan-assisted and conventional heating?

Fan-assisted uses a fan to circulate hot air, cooking food faster and more evenly. Conventional heating uses top and bottom elements without air circulation.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the 'Child Lock' button for 3 seconds until the lock icon appears on the display. To deactivate, repeat the process.

What does the defrost function do?

The defrost function uses gentle heat and fan to thaw frozen foods quickly without cooking them. Place frozen food on a tray and select Defrost mode.

Why is my oven not heating?

Check that the oven is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the timer is set if required. If the problem persists, contact service.

Can I bake on multiple racks at once?

Yes, but for best results use fan-assisted mode. Avoid overcrowding; ensure air can circulate. You may need to rotate trays halfway through.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Turn off the oven and disconnect power. Remove the glass cover by turning it counterclockwise. Replace the halogen bulb with a similar 25W/230V bulb. Reattach the cover.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual can be downloaded from the Profilo support website or notice-facile.com. Search for model OCA652.

Switching on manually

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the required setting.
2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter, matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.

Switching on automatically

If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition sparkers):

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites.
2. Release the control knob.
3. Turn the control knob to the required setting.

If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).

Risk of deflagration!

If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner back on.

Safety system

Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the burners accidentally switch off.

To ensure that this device is active:

1. Switch on the burner as usual.
2. Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Switching off a burner

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting.

Power levels

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

Setting	●	Control knob off
High flame	♠	Maximum capacity or aperture and electricity on
Low flame	♠	Minimum capacity or aperture

Warnings

It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is operating.

When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours. This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.

An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.

If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at least 1 minute.

A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety device is no longer operating.

Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.

Cooking guidelines

Burner Very high - High Medium Low

Wok burner Boiling, steaming, griddling, toasting, paellas, Asian food (wok).		Reheating and keeping things hot: cooked and pre-cooked dishes
Rapid burner	Escalopes, steaks, omelettes, frying	Rice, white sauce, ragout	Steaming: fish, vegetables
Semi-rapid burner	Steamed potatoes, fresh vegetables, vegetable stews, pasta	Reheating, keeping things hot and making tasty casse-roles
Auxiliary burner	Cooking: casse-roles, rice pudding, caramel	Defrosting and slow cooking: veg-etables, fruit and frozen products	Melting: but-ter, choco-late, jelly

Electric hob

Before using the hob for the first time, heat it up for 5 minutes, set to full power, with no pans placed on it. At this point it is normal to notice smoke and odours, but these will disappear over time. Do not operate the hobs without placing pans on top, except during this initial heating phase.

When you begin cooking, we recommend turning the control knob up to the maximum setting and then, depending on the quantity and quality of the foods being cooked, turn down the heat to a medium setting.

Taking advantage of the thermal inertia of the hob, the hob can be switched off shortly before you finish cooking. This will save energy as food will continue to cook using the heat retained in it.

Use perfectly flat, thick bottom pans of a similar size to the hotplate, never smaller.

Do not spill liquid on the hob's surface, or use wet pans on it.

If prolonged use has worn away the surface of the electric hobs, sprinkle them with a few drops of oil or other maintenance products that are widely available.

Power control switch

The electric hob is controlled by a switch, which can be used to choose the power required for the food you are cooking.

To switch on the hob:

Bearing in mind the type of cooking and the quantity of food, using the table below as a guide, turn the control knob to the left, selecting the setting for the dish you want to cook. The operating indicator will light up.

To switch off the hob:

Turn the control knob to the 0 setting. The operating indicator will go out.

Suggestions

Setting 1 and 2 heating

Setting 3 and 4 high heat and cooking

Setting 5 and 6 frying

These suggested settings are intended as a guide only. The power must be increased for:

■ large quantities of liquid
■ large quantities of food
■ cooking using pans without lids

Cooking pans

Suitable pans

Burner Minimum pan diameter	Maximum pan diameter
Wok burner 22 cm 30 cm
Rapid burner 22 cm 26 cm
Semi-rapid burner 14 cm 20 cm
Auxiliary burner 12 cm 16 cm
Electric hob 14 cm 18 cm

Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage:

Use pans which are the right size for each burner.

Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may tip over.

Only use pans with a thick, flat base.

Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted. This wastes energy.

Always centre the pan over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could tip over.

Do not place large pans on the burners near the control knobs. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures.

Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner.

Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are correctly positioned before using the appliance.

Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

Never use two burners or heat sources to heat one single pan.

Do not use grill pans, earthenware casserole dishes, etc. for a long period of time on maximum power.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water.

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.

The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.

Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush.

If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan support may scratch the hob.

Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may damage the enamel.

After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.

Caution!

• Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.
  ■ Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food from the hob.
• Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to clean the point where the glass meets the burner trims, the metal frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the hob.

Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and vegetables will scratch the glass surface.

Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar which may have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate immediately, using the glass scraper.

Avoid spilling salt on the surface of the electric hob.
