Frequently Asked Questions - CF230253 CONSTRUCTA

How to clean the oven effectively?

Use hot water with dish soap and a soft cloth. Avoid steam cleaners, abrasive products and metal sponges. For baked-on dirt, leave a damp cloth to soak. After cleaning, leave the door open to dry.

Why is my cake not evenly browned?

Check the oven level and temperature. Do not place the tin directly in front of air outlets. For small cakes, ensure they are the same size and thickness. Use hot air for better distribution.

How to replace the oven bulb?

Cut the power supply (fuse or circuit breaker). Place a cloth in the cold oven. Unscrew the glass cover to the left. Replace with an E14 bulb, 220-240 V, 40 W heat-resistant to 300°C. Screw the cover back on and restore power.

How to remove and refit the oven door?

Open the door fully, then open the hinge locking levers. Close the door until resistance, then lift it off. To refit, insert the hinges into the slots, open the door and close the levers. The door is then locked.

Why is there smoke during roasting or grilling?

This may be due to fat burning on the heating element. Continue cooking until fully burned off. Also check that the wire rack and dripping pan are positioned at the correct levels.

How to use the defrost mode?

Place frozen food on the wire rack at level 1 (or 1+3 for two levels). Set the selector to 'Defrost position' (a snowflake). Time varies by food: 25-45 min for delicate pastries, then leave to rest for 30-45 min at room temperature.

How to make yogurt in this oven?

Heat 1 L of milk to 40°C, mix in 150 g of plain yogurt. Pour into pots (max 200 ml each). Preheat the oven for 15 min at 100°C in Large surface grill mode, then switch to Oven light mode. Place the pots in the oven and leave for 8 h. Then refrigerate for at least 12 h.

What to do if the oven does not heat up?

Check the home fuses. If the indicator lights do not come on, the fuse may be faulty. Replace it. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service providing the E and FD numbers (on the rating plate behind the door).

Can I use baking paper in the oven?

Yes, but always place a dish or tin on top to weigh it down. Do not let the paper overhang the accessories and do not use it carelessly during preheating, as it could touch the heating elements and catch fire.

How to clean the oven door glass?

Remove the glass panels after removing the door (see manual). Clean them with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use scrapers or abrasive products, as scratched glass can crack. Reassemble following the assembly direction (inscription 'Right above' at bottom left).

Operating the appliance

In this section, you will find out how to switch your appliance on and off, and how to select an operating mode and temperature.

Switching on the appliance

1. Turn the operating mode selector until the desired operating mode is selected.
2. Turn the temperature selector until the desired temperature is selected.

The indicator lamp lights up while the appliance is heating up and during any subsequent heating.

Switching off the appliance

1. Turn the operating mode selector back to the o position.
2. Turn the temperature selector back to the position.

After the appliance is switched off, the cooling fan may continue to run.

Baking

Do not use shelf height 2 when baking with the 2D-Hot air operating mode. The air circulation would be impaired and this will have a negative effect on your baking.

Baking accessories

Baking tins

Use dark-coloured metal baking tins. Tinplate and glass dishes increase the baking time required and the cake will not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using tinplate tins and Top/ bottom heat, you should use shelf height 1.

Always place a loaf tin diagonally and a round baking tin in the centre of the wire rack.

Baking trays

We recommend that you only use original baking trays, as these have been optimally designed for the cooking compartment and the operating modes.

Always carefully push the baking trays in as far as they will go. Make sure that the sloping edge of the baking tray is facing the appliance door.

Baking on two levels

When baking on two levels, you should preferably use baking trays and put them in at the same time.

Bear in mind that your items may brown at different rates on each level. The items on the top level will brown most quickly and can be taken out earlier.

Baking table for basic doughs/cake mixtures

The information in the table is a guideline and applies to both aluminium baking trays and dark-coloured baking tins. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of dough/mixture and on the baking tin.

The values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

We recommend that you set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.

If you are baking with your own recipe, use similar recipes in the table as a guide.

Observe the notes in the table about preheating.

Tips and tricks
The cake is too light in colour	Check the shelf height and the recommended bakeware. Place the baking tin on the wire rack and not on the baking tray. Increase the baking time or the temperature.
The cake is too dark	Check the shelf height. Shorten the baking time or reduce the temperature.
The cake is unevenly browned in the baking tin	Check the shelf height and the temperature. Do not place the baking tin directly in front of the air outlets in the back wall of the cooking compartment. Check for the correct position of the baking tin on the wire rack.
The cake is unevenly browned on the baking tray	Check the shelf height and the temperature. When baking small items, make sure that they are the same size and thickness.
The cake is too dry	Shorten the baking time and increase the temperature slightly.
The cake is too moist in the centre	Reduce the temperature. Note: Higher temperatures do not mean shorter baking times (cooked on the outside, but not on the inside). Increase the baking time and allow the cake dough to prove longer. Add less liquid to the mixture.
The cake collapses when you take it out of the oven	Add less liquid to the mixture. Increase the baking time or reduce the temperature.
The specified baking time is not correct	For small items, check the amount on the baking tray. The items must not be touching each other.
Frozen products are not browned evenly after baking	If frozen products are unevenly browned when prebaked, then uneven browning is to be expected after baking.
Frozen products are not browned, not crispy or the specified time is not cor- rect	Remove ice from frozen products before baking them. Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.

Roasting

There is a risk of injury if you use roasting dishes that are not heat-resistant!

Only use roasting dishes that are marked as being suitable for use in the oven.

Do not use shelf height 2 when roasting with 2D-Hot air. This will adversely affect air circulation and your roasting results will not be as good.

Open roasting

For open roasting, a roasting dish without a lid is used.

Add liquid to the roasting dish if required. During roasting, the liquid in the roasting dish will evaporate. If necessary, carefully add more hot liquid.

When you are roasting using Top/bottom heat, turn the roast approximately half to two thirds of the way through the roasting time.

Roasting in the universal pan

Juices escape from the roasting meat and are collected in the universal pan. You can use these juices as the basis for a tasty gravy.

You can also cook side dishes (e.g. vegetables) at the same time as roasting meat in the universal pan.

For smaller joints, you can use a smaller roasting dish instead of the universal pan. Place this directly on the wire rack.

Roasting with a lid

Roasting dishes with lids are used for this kind of roasting. This method is particularly suitable for pot roasts.

Roasting table

The roasting time and temperature depend on the size, height, type and quality of the item.

As a general rule: the larger the item, the lower the temperature and the longer the roasting time.

The information in the table is a guideline, and relates to items cooked without a lid. The values may vary depending on the type and quantity of the meat/fish and on the roasting dish.

You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.

At the end of the roasting time, switch the oven off and leave the roast to rest for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking compartment with the door closed. The recommended rest time is not included in the given roasting times.

The information in the table is for food placed in a cold oven and for meat/fish taken directly from the refrigerator.

• Roast pot roasts with a lid on the roasting dish
  ** Use shelf height 1 for tall items

Tips and tricks

Crust too thick and/or roast too dry	Check the shelf height. Reduce temperature or roasting time.
Crust too thin	Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The meat is not cooked right through	Remove any accessories that are not required from the cooking compartment. Increase the roasting time. Check the core temperature of the roast using a meat thermometer.
Steam in the cooking compartment is condensing on the appliance door	The steam dries during the course of the cooking. If there is an excessive volume of steam, you can carefully open the door briefly to dissipate the steam more quickly.

Grilling

Caution!

Material damage due to effect of heat: The temperature generated in the cooking compartment is very high. Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.

For grilling, always use the wire rack and universal pan. Insert the wire rack at the shelf position indicated in the grilling table. To prevent the oven from becoming dirty, insert the universal

pan one level lower. Always place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack

Note: Always use the universal pan in the standard position (not the other way up).

If you are grilling more than one piece of meat, make sure that they are the same sort of meat and that they are of similar thickness and weight.

All-round grilling

All-round grilling is particularly suitable for grilling poultry and meat so that it is crispy all round (e.g. roast pork with crackling).

Turn the items after half to two-thirds of the grilling time.

Pierce duck and goose skin under the wings and legs to allow the fat to escape.

Depending on the food you are cooking, the cooking compartment may become more than usually dirty when you cook food on the wire rack using all-round grilling. You should therefore clean the cooking compartment after every use so that the dirt does not burn on.

The information in the table is a guideline, and applies to the enamelled universal pan with wire rack. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of food to be grilled.

You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.

At the end of the cooking time, switch the grill off and leave the food to stand for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking compartment with the door closed. The recommended rest time is not included in the grilling times specified.

The values are for food placed in a cold oven and for meat taken directly from the refrigerator.

Defrost

In this section, you can find out how to defrost with 2D-Hot air or Defrost.

Defrosting with 2D-hot air

Use the 2D-Hot air operating mode to defrost and cook frozen products.

Please note the following points here:

• Frozen products that have been defrosted (meat in particular) require shorter cooking times than fresh products
  The cooking time for frozen meat increases by the defrosting time
  Always defrost frozen poultry before cooking so that you can remove the giblets
  Cook frozen fish at the same temperatures as fresh fish
• You can place large quantities of ready made frozen vegetables in aluminium dishes in the cooking compartment at the same time
  Use shelf height 1 when defrosting on one level, and shelf heights 1 + 3 when using two levels
• Observe the instructions on the packaging when using frozen foods.

Frozen meals Tempera
Defrosting ture in ^ time in minutes

Raw frozen products/ foods 50 30 - 90

Bread/Bread rolls (750 - 1,500 g) 50 30 - 60

Moist, frozen tray bakes 50 50 - 70

Defrost

Using defrost setting you can defrost delicate pastries, particularly well (e.g. cream cakes).

1. Switch on the Defrost operating mode.
2. Defrost the frozen food for 25-45 minutes, depending on type and size.
3. Remove the frozen food from the cooking compartment and let it thaw for 30 - 45 minutes.

With small quantities (pieces), the defrosting time is shortened to 15-20 minutes and the extended defrosting time is shortened to 10-15 minutes.

Yoghurt

You can also make home-made yoghurt with your appliance. The heat from the light is used for this.

1. Remove accessories and hook-in racks, telescopic shelves or separate fitting systems.

2. Heat 1 litre of long-life milk (3.5% fat) or fresh pasteurised milk to 40^ or Bring 1 litre fresh milk to the boil once and allow to cool down to 40^ .

3. Add 150g of set yoghurt to the warm milk, stir in and fill the jars or bowls evenly. Do not pour more than 200ml into any single container.

4. Cover the filled containers with a suitable lid or cling film.
5. Preheat the oven with the Full-surface grill for 15 minutes at 100^ .
6. Then move the operating mode selector to Light.
7. Evenly space the containers over the cooking compartment floor, then close the appliance door.
