Frequently Asked Questions - EB-C4-3KBSW Wolkenstein

How do I install the cooker properly?

Ensure the cooker is placed on a flat, non-flammable surface. For gas models, a qualified technician must connect to the gas supply. For electric models, a dedicated 230V outlet is required. Refer to the installation manual for detailed steps.

Can I use the oven and grill simultaneously?

No, the oven and grill functions are designed to operate separately. Using both at the same time may cause overheating or damage. Select the desired function via the mode selector knob.

How do I clean the ceramic hob?

Allow the hob to cool completely. Use a ceramic hob scraper to remove burnt residues, then clean with a soft cloth and a specialty cleaner. Avoid abrasive sponges.

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

Check the power supply and ensure the timer is set correctly. If the oven still does not heat, the heating element may be faulty. Contact Wolkenstein service for replacement.

Is the cooker energy efficient?

Yes, the EB-C4-3KBSW is designed with energy-saving features. The fan-assisted oven distributes heat evenly, reducing cooking time and energy consumption. It typically falls in energy class A.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the cooker from power. Remove the glass cover by twisting counterclockwise, replace the bulb with a 25W/300°C oven bulb, and reattach the cover. Refer to the manual for exact type.

The gas flame is uneven; what can I do?

Check that the burner caps are correctly positioned and the burner holes are not clogged. Clean the burners with a brush. If the problem persists, the gas regulator may need adjustment by a professional technician.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Yes, but avoid covering the entire oven floor or blocking air circulation. Use foil only on the baking tray. Contact between foil and the heating element can cause fire hazard.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the lock icon button on the control panel for 3 seconds. A lock symbol will appear on the display. Repeat to deactivate. This prevents unintended use of the oven and hob.

Where can I find spare parts or accessories?

Visit the official Wolkenstein website or contact an authorized service center. Use the model number EB-C4-3KBSW when ordering. Spare parts include burners, knobs, and heating elements.

3.12 How to use the timer

YOU CAN USE THE TIMER IN 2 DIFFERENT MODES:

1. AS A MINUTE MINDER. The timer does not switch off a cooking zone.
2. AS AN AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF FUNCTION. The timer switches off the relevant cooking zones as soon as the set time has elapsed.

The max. selectable period of time is 99 minutes.

When the selected period of time exceeds 99 minutes, the timer will be set back to 0.

MODE 1 - MINUTE MINDER:

⚠ WARNING! When using mode 1, the cooking zones will not be switched off automatically after the selected period of time has elapsed.

4. Environmental protection

4.1 Energy saving

◆ Use proper cookware for cooking.
✿ Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to 1/3 of electric energy. Remember to cover your cookware if possible; otherwise you will use four times as much energy!
❖ Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate. A cookware should never be smaller than a heating plate.
◆ Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed by products, which will damage the environment, only.
Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never boil!).
◆ Decrease the power level as soon as the desired cooking temperature is reached.
Use pot-lids to shorten cooking times and save energy.
- Minimize the amount of cooking liquids or fat/oil to shorten cooking times.

Select a high power level, when you start cooking. Reduce the power level, when your food has been heated up.
You can use the residual heat of the cooking zones for saving energy when starting a new cooking procedure on a cooking zone which is still warm / hot.

5. Cooking guidelines

⚠ WARNING! Be very careful when frying, because oil and fat heat up very fast especially when operating a high power level. Extremely hot oil and fat inflame spontaneously and represent a serious fire risk.

⚠ WARNING! NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.

SIMMERING / COOKING OF RICE:

Simmering is cooking with a temperature of approx. 85 °C. At this temperature small bubbles ascend to the surface of the cooking liquid. Simmering is a perfect way to cook delicious soups and stews as the flavours of the food unfold completely without being over-heated. You should also cook egg-based sauces and sauces thickened with flour in this way.
- Some cooking procedures, including the cooking of rice with the absorption-method (= the water is consumed completely), require a setting above the lowest power level, so the food is cooked within the recommended cooking time.

STEAKS:

1. Take the meat out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for approx. 20 minutes.
2. Heat up a pan with a heavy base.
3. Rub both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and place the steak into the pan.
4. Turn the meat just once while cooking. The exact cooking time depends from the size of your steak and your individual preferences (medium, medium rare etc.). So the cooking time of each side may vary from 2 to 8 minutes. Press the steak to check the cooking result - a firm steak is well done.
5. Leave the steak on a warm plate for a few minutes; so it will become tender.

ASIAN-STYLE COOKING:

WOLKENSTEIN

1. Choose a wok with a flat base or a big pan.
2. Prepare all ingredients and the cooking utensils you need. Asian-style cooking should work fast. If you want to cook a big amount of food, you should divide the food into several portions.
3. Preheat the wok/pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook the meat first. Put it aside and keep it warm.
5. Now cook the vegetable. When the vegetable is hot but still crisp, reduce the power level. Add the meat and, if desired, a sauce.
6. Sauté the complete food carefully so all components are hot.
7. Serve immediately.

KIND OF CONTAMINATION
STRATEGY	SAFETY GUIDELINES
DAILY CONTAMINATION OF THE GLASS CERAMIC (FINGERPRINTS, STAINS CAUSED BY FOOD, NON-SUGARY SPILLAGES).
1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains (fuse-box).2. Use a suitable detergent for glass ceramic while the glass ceramic is still warm - but not hot!3. Clean with a soft cloth / kitchen paper and water, then dry carefully.4. Connect the appliance to the mains again.	While the appliance is disconnected from the mains the residual heat indicator does not work, so the cooking zones may be still hot. Be very careful.Scourers, nylon-scourers and abrasive detergents can scratch the glass ceramic. Read the product information of these detergents, so you know if they are suitable to clean glass ceramic.Do not leave any residuals of a detergent on the glass ceramic as it can turn stained permanently.
OVERCOOKED OR MELTED FOOD AND STAINS CAUSED BY HEATED SUGAR-CONTAINING FOOD ON THE GLASS CERAMIC.
Remove such a contamination immediately with a suitable glass ceramic scraper. Beware of cooking zones which are still hot!Disconnect the appliance from the mains (fuse-box).Hold the scraper in a 30^ -angle and scrape off the contamination to a cold area.Clean the contaminated area with a dish towel / kitchen paper.Proceed as described in steps 2 - 4 in the previous section.	Remove such contaminations as soon as possible. When they cool down on the glass ceramic, they are difficult to remove and may damage the glass ceramic permanently.Be very careful when using the scraper so that you do not cut yourself (especially, when you have removed the safety cover).
