Frequently Asked Questions - EC845XB90E SIEMENS

How do I install the Siemens EC845XB90E cooker?

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the power supply matches the rating plate (230V, 50Hz). The cooker should be placed on a level surface with proper ventilation. Refer to the installation manual for detailed steps.

How do I use the induction hob for the first time?

Clean the hob surface with a damp cloth before first use. Turn on the main power, then select a cooking zone using the touch controls. Place a suitable pan on the zone and adjust the heat level. The induction will only work with ferromagnetic pans.

What is the best way to clean the oven?

The oven features pyrolytic self-cleaning. Remove large residues, select the pyrolytic cycle, and let it run. After cooling, wipe away ash with a damp cloth. For regular cleaning, use a mild detergent and soft sponge.

My oven is not heating up, what should I check?

First, ensure the cooker is properly connected to power and the circuit breaker is on. Check if the oven's timer is set (some models require a cooking time). If still not heating, the heating element or thermostat may be faulty; contact a service technician.

How do I activate the child lock on the induction hob?

Press and hold the child lock button (usually a key symbol) for about 3 seconds until an indicator lights up. To deactivate, repeat the same action. The child lock prevents accidental operation of the hob.

Can I use any type of cookware on the induction hob?

No, only ferromagnetic cookware works with induction. Check if a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pan. Stainless steel, cast iron, and some enamelled pans are suitable. Avoid glass, ceramic, and aluminum.

How do I set the timer for the oven?

Turn the function selector to the desired oven mode, then use the timer controls to set cooking duration. Press start. The oven will automatically switch off when the timer reaches zero.

What does an error code E011 mean?

Error codes indicate specific faults. E011 typically points to a communication issue between the hob and control board. Try resetting the cooker by turning off power for 1 minute. If persistent, call Siemens support.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect power to the cooker. Remove the glass cover by turning it counterclockwise. Replace the halogen bulb (type G9, 25W) with an equivalent. Reattach the cover and restore power.

What is the energy efficiency class of this cooker?

The Siemens EC845XB90E is rated energy class A for the oven and A+ for the hob, ensuring efficient cooking with minimal energy consumption.

Switching on manually

Switching on automatically

There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates. Fig. 1.

It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly. Fig. 2-3.

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.

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 (it is no longer necessary to press down the control knob).

1. 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).

Warning! 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 on.

Warnings

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, switch on the burner as usual and, without releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting.

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

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

When it is 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.

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.

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

The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas appliance is used.

You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood).

If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods, you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a

window) or more effective ventilation (e.g. by increasing the hob's ventilation, if possible).

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 one minute.

Wok pan A wok is a cooking vessel originating in China; it is a kind

of deep, round, lightweight pan with handles and a flat or concave base.

Food can be prepared in various ways in a wok: it can be stewed, stir fried, cooked on a low heat, pan-fried or steamed. It could be said that woks serve as both as a saucepan and a frying pan and, owing to their shape and size, they can be used to cook quite large ingredients.

When cooking with a wok, heat is diffused more uniformly and gently; the intense heat which accumulates means that food takes less time to cook and also requires less oil, making it one of the quickest and healthiest ways of cooking.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when cooking with a wok pan.

Accessories

Additional wok pan support Wok pan

Depending on the model, the hob may include the following accessories. These are also available from the Technical Assistance Service.

Additional wok pan support: to be used exclusively on double and triple-flame burners with concave-based pans.

Using these pans may cause some temporary deformation of the grease splash tray. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the appliance.

Griddle

The griddle with non-stick surface allows for cooking dishes that are generally cooked in a frying pan using a low amount of oil.

To use the griddle, place it only on the pan support over the long burner.

⚠ Warning! Place and remove the griddle only when all pan supports and the griddle have cooled down and all burners are off.

Advice for use

To cook most foods on the griddle, the surface must be pre-heated. The burner power may require adjustment if the griddle is used for a long time.

When you first start using it, slight smoke and odour may come off.

It is recommended to use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils to prevent damaging the griddle surface. Avoid using sharp or cutting-edge metal utensils. Never cut food or leave utensils on the griddle.

Do not use oil on the griddle for long a time and avoid grease spilling.

Cleaning

After each use, wash the griddle with hot water and a soap containing non-toxic ingredients, using a soft sponge or cloth.

Do not use metal scourers or detergents with a sandy texture. Do not wash the griddle in the dishwasher.

Dry the griddle with a soft cloth or kitchen paper.

⚠ Clean the grease built up on the griddle underside as soon as possible, as it could ignite.

Maintenance

To protect the non-stick surface:

■ Before using it for the first time, and then regularly, wipe the griddle cooking surface with oil and remove excess with kitchen paper.

■ Store the griddle carefully to avoid bangs or scratches.

■ Do not overheat the griddle without food.

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 should 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 to avoid wasting energy.

Always place the pan right 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.

Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

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

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

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 covers are correctly placed on the diffuser.

Unsuitable products

Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob. If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the point where it joins the metal.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.

Due to the high temperatures endured, the triple-flame burner ring cap and the stainless steel areas (grease drip tray, burner outline, etc.) can become discoloured. This is normal. After each use, clean these areas, with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.

The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.

Faults

Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved. Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, bear in mind the following advice:
