Frequently Asked Questions - FG 824.3 TEKA

How do I preheat the oven?

Turn the function selector to the desired cooking mode and set the temperature using the thermostat knob. Wait until the thermostat indicator light turns off, indicating the set temperature has been reached.

What do I do if the oven does not heat up?

First, check the power supply and ensure the oven is properly connected. Verify that the timer is set to manual mode, not automatic. If the problem persists, contact Teka customer service.

How can I clean the oven interior?

Use a damp cloth with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The easy-clean enamel makes wiping off grease simple. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive oven cleaner.

Can I use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven?

No, do not cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil as it can obstruct heat circulation and damage the enamel. Use foil only on the baking tray or grill.

What does the child lock do?

The child lock prevents accidental changes to oven settings or unintentional operation. Activate it by pressing a combination of buttons (check manual for specific sequence).

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the oven from power. Remove the glass cover by turning it anticlockwise. Replace with a 300°C heat-resistant bulb of the same type (often G9). Reassemble.

Why is the oven making noise during use?

Some noise is normal from the cooling fan and heating element expansion. If you hear unusual sounds like grinding, check for loose accessories or contact support.

What is the maximum temperature?

The maximum temperature is 250°C (except for grill function which uses direct heat). Always refer to your recipe for appropriate settings.

Can I bake with both top and bottom heat?

Yes, select the conventional mode (symbol: top and bottom lines) for even baking on one shelf. For multi-shelf, use fan-assisted mode.

How do I set the timer?

Turn the timer knob clockwise to set the cooking duration. The oven will turn off automatically when time expires. Ensure the timer is not in the 'manual' position for continuous cooking.

ADJUSTING THE BURNER AIR (fig. 7-8)

Due to the characteristics of the different types of gas used, the flame may have too little or too much air. In this case adjustment must be performed as follows:

- Loosen the screw C on the burner

- turn the ring nut D to position N for methane or natural gas and to position G for liquid gas so that the moving reference mark on the ring nut coincides with the fixed reference mark on the burner, thus obtaining a regular flame (fig. 8).

Examples:

a) Flame with too much air, small and thin: turn the ring nut D to reduce the distance X (anticlockwise).
b) Flame with too little air, irregular with yellow tips: turn the ring nut D to increase the distance X (clockwise).
c) Normal flame: blue colour.

ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT MINIMUM SETTING

This operation is performed with the oven in the unit and after the electrical and gas connections have been made by qualified personnel. The operation is necessary when switching from one type of gas to another (from natural gas G20 to liquid gas G30) in order to guarantee a minimum temperature of around 150^ C.

Sequence with metal dashboard

• open the oven door (the burner will ignite only with the door open);
• remove the bedplate (base) of the oven;
  • operate the oven at maximum temperature for at least 20÷30 minutes;
  • once the oven is on, close the door;
• reset the thermostat knob to 150^ ;
• remove the knob A (fig. 9);

- insert a screwdriver into hole B parallel with the thermostat shank and adjust the by-pass until you obtain a reduced but stable flame. This operation must be performed with the oven door closed.

- Use a flat blade screwdriver (fig. 9) to adjust the by-pass screw. Simply unscrew the by-pass to adjust the minimum setting when switching from liquid gas to methane.

- For operation with G30/G31 (LPG) the by-pass adjustment screw must be fully tightened.

IMPORTANT:

after adjusting the burner, check that the flame is maintained at minimum setting as follows:

1. turn the knob from min. to max. 2-3 times;
2. open and close the oven door continuously (neither too fast or too slowly);
3. if the flame goes out, adjust the by-pass setting (slightly increase the minimum setting).

- Once you have finished (replacement of injector, adjustment of air and minimum setting), switch the oven off and affix the new rating plate (indicating the gas used).
