Frequently Asked Questions - BFL2232S BRANDT

How to install the built-in oven BFL2232S?

Make sure the built-in niche complies with the dimensions (595x595x570 mm) and that the oven is plugged into a grounded outlet. Provide at least 10 cm of ventilation at the back. Refer to the manual for mounting diagrams.

How to clean the oven after cooking?

Use the catalytic cleaning program to break down grease. For stubborn stains, wipe with a damp cloth and white vinegar. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What to do if the oven does not heat?

First check that the oven is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the problem persists, the heating element or thermostat may be faulty. Contact after-sales service.

How to set the clock and timer?

Press the 'Clock' button and use the +/- keys to set the time. For the timer, select the 'Timer' function and set the duration. A beep will sound at the end.

Can I use parchment paper in the oven?

Yes, but place it only on the rack or drip tray. Avoid contact with the heating elements. Use oven-safe paper (up to 230°C).

How to change the oven light bulb?

Unplug the oven. Remove the glass cover by turning or unclipping (depending on model). Replace the halogen bulb (25 W, G9 base) with a new one. Refit the cover and plug back in.

The oven makes an abnormal noise, is it serious?

Ventilation noises (convection motor) are normal. If you hear a scraping or whistling sound, check that the temperature probe is not touching the wall or that an object is not stuck in the fan.

How to use the rotisserie function?

Thread the spit through the meat, secure it with the forks. Place the spit in the designated holder (hole at the back of the oven) and activate the motor via the dedicated control. Use the drip tray in the low position to catch juices.

What is the energy class of the BFL2232S?

The Brandt BFL2232S oven is rated A+, ensuring reduced consumption compared to lower classes. Typical consumption is about 0.95 kWh in fan-assisted mode.

REVERSING THE DIRECTION THE DOORS OPEN

You can alter the direction in which the doors open if you wish:

The appliance must always be disconnected from the power supply when changing the direction the doors open.

• Gently tilt the appliance backwards and wedge it in this position.
• Remove the pin from the lower hinge and then remove the door. Remove the lower hinge and fit it on the opposite side.
• Unscrew the upper hinge and fit this on the opposite side.
• Take the plastic guide off the hinge pin for the upper hinge and press it into the opposite hole after removing the hole cover, which is subsequently placed over the hole you have just created.
• Slide the door onto the pin for the upper hinge and close it.
• Insert the pin for the lower hinge and screw it down tightly.
• If your appliance is fitted with a vertical handle, ensure that you move it over to the opposite side.

FITTING THE DOOR HANDLES (depending on the model)

The handles are located inside the refrigerator. Fit the handles on the doors, positioning them opposite the respective holes and fasten them with the screws provided as shown in the diagram below. Once the handles are in place, insert the screw covers supplied in the spaces provided for this purpose

REMOVING THE REMOVABLE TOP (depending on the model)

To install your appliance under a worktop, you may need to remove its top.

The appliance must always be disconnected when you proceed to remove the removable top.

• Remove the two screws at the back of the top.
• Free the top by lifting it at the back and sliding it gently forwards.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The thermostat in the refrigerator controls the temperature. To set it, you must turn the knurled wheel inside the refrigerator on the right-hand side. When set to position 0, the appliance is OFF. We recommend that you select a middle position: 2 or 3.

Advice:

• Do not put hot food or unsealed liquids into the refrigerator.
• NEVER introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of explosion.
• It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.
• Leave sufficient space between the foodstuffs to enable air to circulate correctly between them. Similarly, when storing them, avoid putting food items in contact with each other.
• Do not place food items in contact with the cold wall at the back of the refrigerator. The shelves have a stop to avoid this.
• The door should not be left open any longer than necessary.

FOOD SAFETY (depending on the model)

Explanation of the coldest area by means of signs.

The symbol opposite indicates the location of the coldest in your refrigerator, whose temperature is ≤ +4^ .

You will store here meat, poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or cream-based dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches, fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vegetables sold in plastic bags and, in general, any fresh produce whose consume-by date is associated with storage at a temperature of +4^ or below.

Temperature indicator:

Adjust your thermostat

Correct temperature

The temperature indicator enables you to check that your refrigerator is working correctly.

The indicator displays "OK" when the coldest area reaches an average temperature of ± 4^ (4 hours after being switched on). If the temperature is above +4^ , the indicator remains black. The user must then lower the temperature of the refrigerator by adjusting the thermostat.

Warning:

Opening the refrigerator's door for a prolonged period causes the refrigerator's internal temperature to rise. To measure the temperature correctly, the temperature indicator must be read within 30 seconds. Similarly, it should also be taken into account that the temperature is not completely uniform throughout the compartment, for which reason there are appropriate areas for each type of foodstuff.

Dairy products, cheese

Meat, cooked meats, fish

Fruit and vegetables

Drinks, butter and eggs

Condiments

Drinks

DEFROSTING

Your refrigerator has an automatic defrosting system. The lance's rear surface becomes covered with frost when the compressor is working and defrosts when the compressor is off. When frost melts, the water evaporates by itself.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Switch off your refrigerator before proceeding to clean it.

We recommend that you clean and disinfect your appliance regularly

• Clean the interior with water and bicarbonate of soda using a sponge or a dishcloth to prevent any bad smells occurring.
• Never, under any circumstances, use solvents or abrasive detergents because these could damage the interior of your appliance. Also do not put any of the interior's accessories in the dishwasher.
• We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance with a cloth once a year because if it is dirty, your refrigerator's output reduces and its consumption increases.

CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB

Disconnect your appliance before proceeding to change the bulb.

• Remove the grill. The bulb is behind the thermostat panel.
• Remove the bulb by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
• Insert a new bulb of the same power as its predecessor.
• Refit the grill, reconnect the appliance and switch it back on.

OPERATING PROBLEMS

There are some noises that it is quite normal for a refrigerator to make:

• The refrigerant gas can produce a gurgling sound as it travels through the circuits.
• The compressor may produce a buzzing noise, which can be more noticeable during start-up.
• The "cracking" noise produced by expansion and contraction of the materials used.

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
The appliance does not work.	Check that the plug is correctly connected, that the fuse hasn't blown or that the circuit-breaker has not jumped.
The refrigerator vibrates or is noisy.	Check that it is level. Adjust the feet.
The refrigerator gets too cold or not cold enough.	Check the position of the thermostat and set it to a more suitable temperature.
The refrigerator's bulb does not light.	Check the bulb and replace it if necessary. If the problem persists, check that your appliance is connected.
The compressor does not start after a change in the temperature.	This is normal; the compressor will restart after a certain time.
There is water on the floor or on the shelves.	The hole for draining away the defrosting water must be blocked. Unblock it with a knitting needle.
