Frequently Asked Questions - FE222XS1 BRANDT

How to turn on my BRANDT FE222XS1 oven for the first time?

For first use, heat the empty oven at 250 °C for 30 minutes to remove manufacturing odors. Then let it cool down and clean the inside with a damp cloth.

How to use the pyrolysis function?

Pyrolysis cleans the oven by burning residues at high temperature. Remove accessories, close the door and select the pyrolysis program. Duration is about 2 hours. Once finished, wipe off the ashes with a damp cloth.

What to do if the oven does not heat up?

First check that the oven is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the door is fully closed and a cooking mode is selected. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to set the timer on my FE222XS1 oven?

Press the 'Timer' button, use the arrows to set the desired time, then confirm. Once the time is up, a beep sounds. You can also program an end-of-cooking time.

Can I use baking paper in the oven?

Yes, baking paper can be used, but avoid it touching the heating elements. Place it on the rack or drip tray. Do not use it in grill mode as it may burn.

How to clean the oven door glass?

To clean the inner glass, use a soft cloth with soapy water or an oven cleaner. Avoid abrasives. If the glass is very dirty, you can disassemble it following the instructions in the manual.

What does error code 'E2' on the display mean?

Code 'E2' generally indicates a faulty temperature sensor or an overheating issue. Turn off the oven and let it cool down. If the code reappears, contact technical support.

How to use the temperature probe?

Insert the probe into the thickest part of the food. Plug it into the socket inside the oven. Select the desired temperature (e.g., 65 °C for chicken). The oven will automatically stop when the internal temperature is reached.

Is it normal for the oven to make noise during cooking?

Yes, some noise is normal: the fan of the convection system, clicking of the thermostat, or air circulation. If the noise becomes abnormal (grinding, impact), stop the oven and inspect the accessories.

How to replace the oven light bulb?

Unplug the oven. Remove the glass cover by turning it counterclockwise. Replace the bulb (model: G9 25 W, 230 V) and screw the cover back on. Plug the oven back in.

Safety recommendations

Please read these instructions before installing and using your oven.

The oven has been designed for domestic use only for cooking food. No asbestos has been used in its construction.

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:

Before you use your oven for the first time, leave it empty and, with the door closed, turn it on to maximum temperature and let it heat up for 15 minutes. This "burns off the newness of the oven". During this time there may be same smell from the mineral wool that insulates the oven and there could be some smoke. This is perfectly normal.

NORMAL USE:

- Always close the door properly. The oven is fitted with a seal designed to work with a closed door.

- Never lean or let anyone sit on the oven door when it is open.

- The oven parts and accessories can become hot when the door is left partially open and the grill on. Always keep children at a safe distance.

- When the oven is on it will get hot. Take care not to touch the heating elements inside the oven.

- Always protect your hands with oven gloves or something similar when removing food, accessories or containers from the oven.

- Do not line your oven or the grill pan with kitchen foil. The metal will increase the heat produced and could ruin the food and damage the enamel.

- Never use a spray or a high-pressure washer to clean the oven.

- During self-cleaning, surfaces can become hotter than in normal use. Children must be kept at a distance.

- Before connecting your oven, make sure you are using the correct size cable. The cross-section should be the same as the cable connected to the oven. Use a 16-amp fuse.

How to insta

The electrical connections are made before the oven is installed in its housing.

- The oven must be connected using an approved 3-core cable (live, neutral and earth ⏻) with 1.5 mm square conductors. This should be connected via a 3-pin-socket (live, neutral, and earth ⏻ to the main supply which should be should be a 220-240V, alternating single-phase current. If the oven is not connected using a plug and socket, it must be connected to a multi-pole switch with a minimum gap of 3 mm between contacts. The earth wire (green and yellow) should be connected to the terminal marked with the earth symbol ⏻ on the appliance and to the earth in the switch.

• Where the oven is connected using a separate plug and socket this must be accessible after the oven has been installed.
• The neutral wire (blue) of the oven must be connected to the neutral in the main supply.

Fitting new wiring and/or changing cables.

• The supply cable (H05 RR-F, H05 RN-F or H05 W-F) must be long enough to allow the oven to rest on the floor in front of its housing.
  With the oven sitting on the floor and disconnected:
• Open the trapdoor at the bottom right hand side at the back of the oven by removing the 2 screws and swinging the door away.
• Remove the sheath from each wire in the new cable up to 12 mm.
• Twist the ends carefully together.
• Unscrew the terminal screws and remove the wires that need changing.
• Pass the new cable through the wire clamp to the right of the terminals.
• Connect the wires up in accordance with the markings on the terminals.
• Make sure all wires are trapped under the screws.
• The brown wire (live) going to terminal marked L.
• The green and yellow wire (earth) going to the one marked ⏚.
• The blue wire (neutral) going to the terminal marked N.
• Tighten the screws and check, by tugging on each wire, that they are firmly connected.
• Tighten the clamp to hold the cable.
• Close the trapdoor using the two screws.

We cannot accept any liability in the event of an accident resulting from non-existent or faulty earthing.

Dimensions for installation use

GB

The oven may be housed either under a work surface or built into a column that is open* or closed with a suitable opening.

Your oven works at its best and produces excellent results when cooking and cleaning itself, if its air circulation is not compromised:

• The oven must be centred in the unit so that there is a minimum distance of 5 mm between it and the surrounding unit.
• The housing unit or its outer surface must be capable of withstanding heat.
• To ensure the oven rests firmly in the housing, screw it to the housing unit using the holes on the side uprights provided (see diagram).

To do this:

1) Remove the rubber stoppers masking the fixing holes.
2) To prevent the housing unit splintering, drill two holes 3 mm in diameter in the wall of the housing unit opposite the fixing holes.
3) Attach the oven using the two screws.
4) Conceal the hole using the rubber stoppers. (These also help to cushion the closing of the oven door).
(*) If the housing unit is open at the back, the gap must not be more than 70 mm.

If you are unsure about fitting this oven yourself please use a qualified electrician.

Looking after your oven

Installing and changing the catalytic panels

Always allow the oven to cool down before attempting to remove the panels. Check the cooking selector is at OFF.

GB

Side panels (1)

Undo the rail clip (2) at the front by lifting it up (Diagram A). Pull the rail unit toward you, lifting it slightly to unclip the rear catch (Diagram B). Pull it out of the 2 holes (3) of the catalytic panels and the oven casing. Remove the catalytic panel (1). Reverse operations to replace panel and rail unit.

Back panel (4)

Undo and remove the screw (5) at the top of the back panel. Tip the panel towards you so you can remove it from the oven case. Reverse this operation to replace the panel.

Always check that the oven is off before you clean the inside.

Cleaning the inside

Your oven is self-cleaning. The outer shell is lined with removable panels covered in a special microporous enamel known as catalytic enamel. This coating helps eliminate dirt and grease. Splashes are attracted to the tiny holes where they are gradually burnt off. Unfortunately, the coating cannot do the same to sugary substances which is why the bottom of the oven, where these are likely to collect, does not have the same enamel finish.

You are strongly advised,

• Never use wire brushes or any other pointed or cutting implement.
• Never use any scouring material.
• When grilling, a lot of fat can be spat onto the walls of the oven. However, the temperature will not be enough to burn them off completely while you are grilling.

To overcome this problem remove all shelves etc. and leave the oven on for 20 to 30 minutes at the highest temperature possible after you have finished cooking. If any trace remains it will be burnt off when you use the oven the next few times.
