Question 1

Why does the flame of the burner on my BOMPANI BO213MCN stove produce black smoke?

Accepted Answer

If the flame of your BOMPANI BO213MCN produces black smoke, it indicates incomplete combustion of the gas. The technical manual specifies that the flame should be primarily blue. A yellow or orange flame indicates a lack of oxygen, which causes imperfect combustion and generates this characteristic smoke.

Start by checking and cleaning the burners. Clogged or obstructed openings disrupt the correct distribution of gas and air. Carefully remove the grates and burners (they are removable for easy cleaning), then wash them with a sponge, soapy water, and a mild detergent. Dry them thoroughly and place them back perfectly in their housing. Also, ensure that the flame distribution channels are not blocked. Special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the safety valve probe and the ignition electrode, which are essential for optimal operation.

Next, check the kitchen ventilation. Poor ventilation causes an oxygen deficiency. The manual states that the room must have a natural air influx for regular gas combustion, with a minimum volume of 20 m³. Combustion products must be expelled outside via a range hood or an electric fan. In case of intensive use, additional ventilation is necessary: open a window or increase the power of the mechanical extraction if it exists.

If you have recently changed the type of gas (switching from natural gas G20 to butane/propane G30-G31 or vice versa), check that the injectors are suitable for the type of gas used. The manual indicates that replacing the nozzles is necessary if the appliance was designed for a different type of gas. This operation must be performed by qualified personnel.

During cooking, adjust the flame setting. The control knobs allow for fine regulation between the minimum and maximum positions. An insufficiently adjusted flame may not burn properly. If you notice that the flame goes out when quickly switching from maximum to minimum, the burner requires a minimum adjustment, which must be performed by a qualified installer.

If after these checks the black smoke persists, contact the authorized BOMPANI technical support center at the unique number 848 99 87 03 (maximum cost 2 cents per minute). An internal malfunction of the burner or a problem with the safety valve may be the cause and requires professional intervention.

Question 2

Why is the flame of the BOMPANI BO216MBN cooktop smoking and how can I fix it?

Accepted Answer

If the flame of your BOMPANI BO216MBN cooktop is producing smoke, it may be due to several causes. Here’s how to identify and fix this issue:

1. Check the quality of the gas

Poor quality or contaminated gas can cause incomplete combustion, resulting in smoke. Make sure to use gas that meets standards and comes from a reliable source.

2. Clean the burner

Food residues, grease, or dirt can clog the burner openings, disrupting combustion. To clean:

Turn off the cooktop and unplug it if necessary.
Remove the grate and the burner.
Gently clean the openings with a soft brush or toothpick to remove deposits.
Wipe with a damp cloth and let dry before reassembling.

3. Check the color of the flame

The flame should be primarily blue. A yellow or orange flame indicates incomplete combustion, often related to a poor air/gas mixture.

4. Check the air supply

Ensure that the ventilation openings around the burner are not blocked. Insufficient air supply leads to incomplete combustion and smoke.

By applying these checks and cleanings, you should be able to eliminate the smoke issue. If the smoke persists, it is advisable to call a qualified professional for a thorough diagnosis.

Question 3

What do the symbols on the BOMPANI BO713 cooker mean?

Accepted Answer

The BOMPANI BO713 cooker has several symbols on its knobs and control panel that allow you to adjust cooking and the various functions of the appliance. Here is the complete explanation of these symbols:

Burner symbols on the cooktop:

Off position: Knob in the stop position, gas off. This is the initial position before lighting the burner.
Maximum symbol: Indicates the maximum flame position. Turn the knob counterclockwise to this mark to achieve the highest flame. Used for quick cooking.
Minimum symbol: Indicates the minimum flame or simmer position. Position obtained after exceeding the maximum mark. Used for simmering or keeping warm.
Intermediate marks: Between the minimum and maximum positions, several intermediate positions allow for fine adjustment of the burner power according to your needs.

Gas oven symbols:

Position 0 (off): Knob in the stop position, the oven is off.
Positions 1 to 7 with thermostat: Numbered from 1 to 7, these positions correspond to the following temperatures: 150°C (position 1), 170°C (position 2), 190°C (position 3), 210°C (position 4), 230°C (position 5), 250°C (position 6), and 270°C (position 7). Each position automatically adjusts the temperature via the thermostat.
Grill symbol: Specific symbol marked on the panel allowing access to the grill function when the knob is turned to this position.

Control indicators:

Red indicator: Lights up when a function of the oven (heating or grill) is in operation, indicating that heating elements are powered.
Yellow indicator: Lights up when the oven thermostat intervenes to maintain or reach the set temperature.

Practical tips: Never leave the burner knob between the minimum and maximum marks in an extended intermediate position, as this could affect the stability of the flame. For the cooktop burners, allow the gas oven to preheat for 10 minutes before placing your food inside. If the oven is equipped with electric ignition, press the ignition button or the knob to create the spark that ignites the gas.
