Frequently Asked Questions - EHC 3553 BOMANN

How do I install the Bomann EHC 3553 cooker?

Installation must be performed by an authorized specialist. Ensure the appliance is placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant floor with at least 30 mm clearance from adjacent furniture. The distance to an extractor hood must comply with the hood's instructions. Level the appliance using the adjustable screw feet. Electrical connection must be done by a qualified electrician respecting local standards. Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

What should I do before first use?

Remove all packaging and clean the oven interior and accessories with warm water. Heat the closed oven for approx. 70 minutes at 200°C using upper/lower heat, then switch to grill for another 20 minutes to burn off manufacturing residues. Ensure good ventilation during this process as some smoke may occur.

How do I clean the ceramic hob?

Use warm water and a sponge for light dirt. For limescale deposits, apply warm vinegar and wipe dry. For stubborn residues like sugar or melted plastic, use a glass ceramic scraper. Avoid abrasive cleaners or sharp objects. Always let the hob cool down before cleaning.

How can I replace the oven bulb?

First, disconnect the appliance from the power supply (fuse). Allow the lamp to cool down. Unscrew the lamp cover anti-clockwise and clean it. Replace the bulb with a correct type: 15W, 230V, heat-resistant up to 300°C. Screw the cover back clockwise. Reconnect power and check functionality.

Why is the oven not heating?

Check if the appliance is connected to the power supply and the fuse is intact. Ensure the function selector and temperature selector are set correctly. If the control lamp does not light, the thermostat or heating element may be faulty. In that case, contact an authorized technician.

Can the oven door be removed for cleaning?

Yes. Open the door fully, push the retaining brackets on both hinge sides upwards, then slightly close the door and lift it off. To reinstall, align the hinge notch with the protrusion and push the brackets back down. This allows better access to the oven interior.

What is the correct cookware for the hob?

Use cookware with a flat, clean bottom that matches the diameter of the cooking zone. Avoid cookware with uneven bases or shiny aluminum. For best results, always use a lid to save energy. Ensure the base is dry and clean.

How do I use the double cooking zone (if applicable)?

Turn the level regulator clockwise until it stops (about level 9) to activate the extra heating zone. Then select the desired temperature level. Do not turn counterclockwise beyond the off position to avoid damaging the regulator. After cooking, turn back to off.

Is the appliance safe for children?

The appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above under supervision. Children under 8 must be kept away. During operation, surfaces become hot; warn children to stay away. The residual heat indicator lights up after switching off hot zones. Always supervise children near the cooker.

What should I do if the glass hob is cracked?

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply immediately. Do not use it until the glass is replaced. Contact an authorized specialist. Using a cracked hob can cause electric shock. The appliance must not be operated with a damaged glass surface.

•	Off Position: Switching the oven off.
	Upper heat: Up heating is done with active top heat. The dish gets heated from the top. Use when re-baking from above or for keeping warm
	Lower heat: Lower heating is done with active bottom heat. The dish gets heated from the bottom. Use when re-baking from below.
	Upper/lower heat: Upper heating is done in a conventional manner. The dish gets evenly heated from the top and bottom. Suitable for baking and roasting on one level.
	Upper/lower heat with fan: In this type of heating the heat produced by the upper and lower heat is evenly distributed by an additional fan. Ideal for quicker cooking.
	Grill: Only the grill heating element is in operation. Ideal for scalloping or grilling meat, casseroles, toast etc.
	Grill with fan: Chilt with element and the fan are turned on. This helps to speed up the grilling process.

Notes for baking, boaking for baking in the oven

i NOTE:

• Use the included accessory.
• In principle, you may use any heat-resistant cookware for your food.
• Unsuitable is cookware of bright, shiny aluminum, unglazed clay and tableware made of plastic or with plastic handles.
• Follow the instructions for the duration of the completion in your recipes and preparation instructions on the product packaging.

Baking

- For good baking results, preheating is recommended up to the desired temperature.

• After finishing the baking process, we recommend resting the food for about 5 minutes in the oven.
• Before removing the cake, check if it is done by using a wooden stick. When the cake is done, no dough residue will stick to the wooden stick.

Cooking and roasting meat & fish

• Only cook meat of maximum 1 kg in the oven. We recommend roasting or cooking smaller portions on the cooking hob.
• When using the grill grid for roasting, we recommend placing a baking sheet with some water on the lower level.
• At least once after half of the cooking time, the roast should be reversed; sprinkle the roast during cooking now and then with the resulted roast liquid or with hot, salty water, thereby not using cold water.

Grilling

CAUTION:

• Grill exclusively with the oven door closed!
• Supervise the grilling process, the grilling food can burn rapidly due to the intense heat!

- Turn the function selector switch in the corresponding position.

• Preheat the oven for approx. 5 minutes.

- Brushes the grill grid with a little oil, so that the grilling food does not stick on it.

- Slide an empty baking tray for dripping grease to directly lower level, below the grill grid. Pour some water into the baking tray for later easily cleaning.

Energy saving tipsips

• Only preheat if it is specified in the recipe.
• Use dark, black painted or enamelled tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.

• Open the oven door as less as possible during operation.

• Use the residual heat after cooking process.
  Switch the oven off a few minutes before ending the cooking / baking time. So your baking product even cooked in the stored oven heat.

• Put on the cookware before switching on the cooking zone.
• The base of the cookware and the cooking zone should use the same size.
• If possible, always cover the cookware on the cooking zone with a lid.
• Switch off the cooking zones before ending the cooking time, to use the residual heat.

Cleaning and Maintenance
