Question 1

On my CANDY PC PVD 605 X hob, the additional halogen zone: only the outer ring works (1200W), not the inner ring (1000W)

Accepted Answer

Your CANDY PC PVD 605 X hob features an additional halogen zone with a concentric burner: an outer ring of 1200 W and an inner ring of 1000 W that can operate independently.

If only the outer ring works, first check the correct activation of the inner zone:

Press the additional burner button
Select the inner ring with the burner selection button
Adjust the power with the +/- buttons (levels 1-9)
Check that the inner ring lights up correctly

If it still doesn't work, it is likely an issue with the internal electrical connection. According to the manual, the main causes of malfunction in a zone are related to the shunt bars that are not properly positioned on the terminal block. This requires technical intervention to check the electrical connection according to the specific diagrams of the model.

Question 3

Is the central button located between the + and - buttons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on the control panel of the Candy FIDC B265, the central touch button is indeed located between the " - " and " + " buttons. These three elements together form the LCD display adjustment controls, a multifunctional touch interface.

The central button serves as a function selector:

1 press: access to the timer (independent alarm function)
2 presses: access to the programmed cooking time (automatically turns off the oven at the end)
4 presses: access to the time setting (mandatory after installation or power cut)

The " - " and " + " buttons surrounding the central button allow you to increase or decrease values (hours, minutes, temperature) after activating the desired function. During adjustment, you will see the changes directly on the main LCD screen located above.

Question 4

Is the central button tactile or mechanical?

Accepted Answer

The central button of the Candy FIDC B265 is a mechanical button, not tactile. It is a spring-loaded button that needs to be pressed down to activate, unlike the adjacent "-" and "+" keys which are tactile.

The central button serves multiple functions depending on the number of presses:

1 press: access to the timer (minute minder)
2 presses: access to cooking duration
4 presses: access to time setting

To use the central button, you press firmly on it (you will feel a slight resistance and a mechanical depression). Once the function is activated, you use the tactile keys " + " and " - " located on either side to adjust the numerical values (time, temperature, duration).

Important after installation or power cut: You must set the time (flashing "12:00" on the screen). Press the central button 4 times, then use the +/- keys to set the time before any use of the oven. Without this initial setting, the oven will not operate.

The distinction between the mechanical central button and the tactile +/- keys makes for clear usage: the central button selects the function, the tactile keys configure it.

Question 5

Why does the display stay in TEST mode and the oven does not start?

Accepted Answer

The display remains stuck in TEST mode because the clock has not been set. On this cooker, the oven can only operate if the clock is first set - this is a built-in safety feature of the model.

Solution:

Set the clock by following these steps:

Press 4 times on the central touch button (the button between the “-” and “+” keys)
Set the time using the “-” and “+” keys
Release all buttons

Once the time is set, the display will exit TEST mode and the oven will be able to operate normally. You will then be able to select a cooking mode and set the temperature.
