Frequently Asked Questions - FDS66TE LOFRA

How do I set the cooking time on my Lofra FDS66TE oven?

Turn the timer knob (labeled 'C') counterclockwise until it points to the bell symbol for continuous operation. To set a specific cooking time, turn the knob to the desired minutes (0-120). The oven will automatically shut off when the time elapses.

What is the difference between conventional and fan-assisted cooking?

Conventional cooking uses top and bottom heating elements for even heat distribution, ideal for pastries and roasts. Fan-assisted cooking uses a circular resistance and a fan to circulate hot air, resulting in faster cooking at temperatures 10-20°C lower, and allows cooking multiple dishes simultaneously without flavor transfer.

How do I clean the oven door?

First, remove the oven door by following the instructions in the manual (open door, insert pin in hinge hole, close slightly, then lift door off). For inner glass cleaning, remove the upper border with a screwdriver and slide out the glass panels. Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, then dry thoroughly. Do not soak the door in water.

Can I use the grill function with the door open?

No, the oven door must remain closed during grilling. Accessible parts become very hot. Pre-heat the grill for about 5 minutes with the door shut before placing food inside.

What should I do if the oven light stops working?

Disconnect the oven from the power supply. Open the door, pull down the protective glass near the fixing screw, and replace the bulb with a 12V, 5W, G4, T250°C bulb. Reattach the protective glass.

How do I install the rotisserie?

Attach the threaded bushings to the tray, place the skewer through the holes, and mount the tray on the rotisserie grill upside down on the bottom shelf. Ensure the mechanism is secure before use.

Why does my oven produce smoke or smell during first use?

This is normal. Before first use, heat the empty oven at maximum temperature for about an hour to burn off residual oils and adhesives from manufacturing. Ventilate the room during this process.

What is the recommended temperature for baking cakes?

For conventional cooking, typically 160-180°C. For fan-assisted, reduce by 10-20°C. Refer to the cooking chart in your manual for specific recipes and times.

How do I access the electrical components for maintenance?

Disconnect the oven from the mains. For rear/upper components (lamp holder, cable, resistances), remove the back or upper protection panel by unscrewing side screws. For dashboard components (keypad, programmer), remove knobs and side screws, then pull the dashboard vertically and towards you.

How can I save energy while using the oven?

Pre-heat for only 10-15 minutes, choose appropriate temperatures, check door seal integrity regularly, and turn off the oven 10 minutes before the end of cooking to use residual heat. Also, cook multiple dishes at once using fan-assisted mode.

3. HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN

3.1 GRILL

Place the food on top of the oven's grid.

Place the grid on the dripping pan and the put the food on top of it.

Select the desired function and temperature.

Pre-heat the grill resistance for about 5 minutes with the door shut.

Place the grid in the oven along with the dripping pan on shelf level 3 or 4 for flat types of food or on shelf level 1 or 2 for bigger quantities of food.

Close the oven door.

How to use the electric grill:

Turn the function knob clockwise on the desired grill cooking type and set the temperature to 200^ C on the programmer. The oven door has to remain shut.

WARNING: Accessible parts of the oven can become very hot while the grill is operating. Keep children at a safe distance.

3.2 HOW TO USE MULTIFUNCTION OVENS

Multifunction ovens are characterized by the fact that the heat can spread both in a natural way (conventional) or in a forced way (fan assisted).

CONVENTIONAL COOKING: The heat that warms the oven up is produced by the resistances placed on the upper and bottom part.

These resistances can work both individually or together. This method results in a more even cooking. The temperature is always kept constant by the thermostat in accordance to the selected temperature ranging from 50^ C and MAX. During this type of cooking humidity loss in the food is slow and even.

FAN ASSISTED COOKING: Heat is obtained by a forced flow of hot air inside the oven.

The air is warmed by a circular resistance adjacent to the fan. Its circulation is made possible by the fan which spreads it quickly and evenly.

This method guarantees a quicker cooking compared to the conventional one and with temperatures 10-20°C lower. The thermostat assures a constant temperature inside the oven.

Pre-heating of the oven is necessary only for pastry making, all other types of cooking do not require it. It's ideal to defrost foods or cook simultaneously more than one dish without altering the flavours.

This feature allows different types of cooking with separate regulation of the temperature

(ranging from 60^ C to MAX) by operating the function knob or the touch panels.

WARNING: On the ovens the chosen temperature is reached when the temperature indicator light (thermometer symbol) switches off.

The multiple function ovens are distinguished by the fact that the heat, inside the oven, can be spread naturally (convection) or forced (with the fan).

Thanks to this, by turning the selector to the desired function, 5 or 8 different types of cooking with separate temperature (thermostat knob) regulation are possible between 60 and MAX;

therefore even the most varied cooking requirements are satisfied.

Ovens with timer :

Ovens with this device allow uninterrupted manual working and programming the cooking time of the oven between 0 and 120 minutes.

Uninterrupted manual working: set the type of cooking and the oven temperature using the "F" and "T" knobs respectively, turn the timer knob "C" in an anti-clockwise direction until it coincides with the 🔊 symbol.
