Frequently Asked Questions - BOSE69PX BLANCO

How do I preheat the oven?

Select the desired function and temperature using the rotary knobs, then press the start button. The oven will beep when it reaches the set temperature.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Yes, but avoid covering the bottom of the oven or air vents. Use foil only on baking trays, and do not let it touch the heating elements.

How do I clean the oven?

The oven features catalytic liners that absorb grease. For regular cleaning, wipe the interior with a damp cloth after cooling. For heavy stains, run a cleaning cycle (if available) or use a mild oven cleaner.

Why is my oven not heating?

Check that the oven is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the timer is set, and the selected function is not 'Off'. If the problem persists, contact BLANCO support.

What is the maximum cooking time?

The timer can be set up to 12 hours. After that, the oven will automatically shut off.

Can I use the oven for self-cleaning?

This model does not have a pyrolytic self-cleaning function. Instead, it uses catalytic liners that require occasional manual cleaning.

How do I change the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the oven from power. Remove the glass cover by twisting it counterclockwise. Replace the halogen bulb (type G9, 25W). Do not touch the new bulb with bare hands.

Why is the oven door hot?

It is normal for the outer door to become warm during operation. The cool door technology keeps the front surface below 60°C. Keep children away.

How do I set the child lock?

Press and hold the lock button (usually marked with a key symbol) for 3 seconds. The display will show a lock icon. Repeat to unlock.

Where can I find the model number?

The model number is printed on the rating plate located on the front frame of the oven (visible when the door is open).

• CLEANING THE OUTER SURFACES

To clean both the electronic programmer window and the oven door, use a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive creams or scouring sponges.

- CLEANING THE DOOR

- Removing the door

Warning

Do not use abrasive cleaning products or hard metal scrapers for cleaning the glass oven door, as they could scratch the surface and cause the glass to shatter.

Warning

Before unclipping the glass, allow the appliance to cool.

• Disassembling the door (depending on the model)

• Open the door completely and block it open using the red stop (fig.1). It is supplied with your machine in the plastic pack.
• Remove the first attached window as follows: Use the metal part as a lever at the points marked A on one side then the other to unclip the glass (fig. 2).

Clear the glass using a soft sponge (fig.3). Do not immerse the glass in water. Do not use abrasive creams or scouring

- If necessary, remove all the door's inner glass panels.

This unit is made up of one or two glass panels depending on the model, with a black rubber buffer in each corner

(fig.4).

- After cleaning, replace the four rubber comers, taking cards to follow the markings on the glass:

top left:L

top right:R

Placethe interior glass unit in the door, so that L and R are on the hinge side

(fig.6).

- If your oven has just one interior glass, this wide found nextb the clip-orglass.

- Clip in the final glass by placing the 'P.Y.R.O.L.Y.S.E' marking towards you (fig.6).

- Remove the red plastic stop(fig. 7).

Your appliance is now readpr use again.

WHAT IS PYROLYSIS?

Tip

Your oven is equipped with namelled wire shelf supports: these need to be removed before running the pyrolysis cycle.

Warning

Remove any cookware, grids and trays from the oven and clean any major spill residue before carrying out the pyrolysis. Interior glass must be wiped clean prior to running the pyrolysis cycle.

• Pyrolysis is a cycle during which the oven cavity is heated to a very high temperature in order to eliminate spatters and spills. Smoke and odours released during pyrolysis are destroyed by moving through a catalyzer.
• Pyrolysis is not necessary after each cooking cycle, simply when the degree of soiling warrants it.
• As a safety measure, the cleaning operation only begins after the door has automatically locked. As soon as the internal temperature of the oven exceeds cooking temperatures, it is impossible to unlock the door even if the "function selector" is set to 0.

- IN WHAT SITUATIONS SHOULD PYROLYSIS BE USED?

If your oven emits smoke during preheating or releases large amounts of smoke during cooking.

If your oven releases an unpleasant odour when cooled after various types of cooking (lamb, fish, grills, etc...).

Relatively clean cooking operations	Biscuits, vegetables, pastry, quiches, soufflés...	Splatter-free cooking: pyrolysis is not warranted.
Mossy cooking operations	Meat, fish (in adish), stuffed veg- etables.	Pyrolysis may be warranted after every 3 cooking cycles.
Very messy cooking operations	Large cuts of meat on the spit.	Pyrolysis can be performed after one cooking application of this kind, as there is a lot of splatter-ing.

- INSTANT PYROLYTIC CLEANING

To take advantage of the volume of heat already built up in the oven and thus save energy:

Start a pyrolysis cycle after a cooking programme.

Remove the accessories from the oven and clean any major spill residue.

Ensure that the programmer displays the time of day and that it is not flashing (fig.1).

Simply position your cooking selector on the "Pyrolysis" position or on the "ECO Pyrolysis" (fig.1). The Pyron the display will tell you that you are in asell-cleaning cycleor P-E in an ECO self cleaningcycle.

During the self-cleaning cycle, a padlock symbol appears on the display, to tell you that the door is locked.

When the padlock has disappeared from the display, the door can be opened.

The oven is unavailable for 2.5 hours (two hours of pyrolysis and 30 minutes of cooling) during "Pyrolysis" or for two hours (1.5 hours of pyrolysis and 30 minutes of cooling) during "ECO Pyrolysis" (this duration is not modifiable).

This time includes the cooling time until the door can be unlocked.

- END OF CLEANING

Pyrolysis stops automatically; it is then possible to open the door.

At the end of the pyrolysis cycle, the display indicates 0:00.

Return the function selector to the 0 position. (fig.3).

When the oven is cool, use a damp cloth to remove the white ashes. The oven is clean and once again ready for the cooking application of

If you have a doubt about the functioning of your oven, this does not necessarily mean that there is a malfunction. In any event, check the following items:

YOU OBSERVE THAT...	POSSIBLE CAUSES	WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
The oven is not heating	- The oven Is not connected.- Your fuse Is out of order.- The selected temperature is too low.	■ Plug in your oven.■ Replace the fuse and check its value (16A).■ Increase the selected temperature.

TIPS

VEGETABLES

For a smoother potato gratin, pre-cook the potatoes sliced into roundsin milk or milk + cream for about twentyminutes.

To prepare stuffed tomatoes: after cutting off the topsemove the seeds, sprinkle some salt inside them and put them upside down on a mesh so they drain before stuffing them.

FISH

When buying it, it should smell pleasant and not too "fishy".

The body should be firm and rigid and the scales should be firmly stuck to the skin; the eyes should be bright and rounded and gills should appear shiny and moist.

CHICKEN

Choose a dishsize suitable for the chicken so the faldoes not burn. For tadier chicken rub marinate underthe skin. Do not use fresh chopped herds when roasting chicken as they will burn.

MEAT INGENERAL

Cuts for Roasting:

BEEF: Fillet, rump, topside, sirloin, rlb roast

LAMB: Rack of lamb, rolled loin, shoulderleg

PORK: Shoulder, belly, loin, rib roast, loinblade

Cuts for Braising/Slow cooking:

BEEF: Chuck/blade, brisket, shin, veashank

LAMB: Shank, shoulder, chuckpliced lamb

PORK: Spare ribs, hocks, shin

PIZZA

To prevent cheese or tomato sauce from dripping in the oven, you can place a piece of parchment paper between the grid and the pizza. Alternatively, you can use a pizza stone in the oven to enhance the texture. Note: Pizza stone must be preheated for best results.

TARTS/QUICHES

Avoid glass and porcelain dishes: because they ateo thick, they extend the cooking time and the bottom of the crust is not crispy.

With fruit, the bottom of the tart risks becoming soggy: just add a few spoonfuls of fine semolina, crushed biscuit crumbs, almond powder or taploca, which will absorb the juice during cooking.

BISCUITS:

make sure that biscuits are placed even and spacialously on the tray as they will spread during cooking. Do not place cookiedough too close to the edges of the tray.
