Overview

This document provides comprehensive instructions for the CUL57PGSS oven, covering its functions, usage, and maintenance. It emphasizes safety precautions throughout, from installation to operation and cleaning.

Function Description

The CUL57PGSS oven is designed for domestic household use and can be built into a standard kitchen cabinet or housing unit. It offers four cooking functions, allowing users to select the appropriate mode for different types of food. The oven features a thermostat control knob for precise temperature regulation, ranging from 50°C to 250°C. A tangential cooling fan is integrated to maintain stable internal temperatures and keep external surfaces cooler during operation, continuing to run for a period after use until the oven is sufficiently cooled.

The control panel includes an oven function selector knob, a power lamp, an alarm button (K1), cooking time setting button (K2), cooking end time setting button (K3), system time setting button (K4), decrease button/ring selection button (K5), increase button (K6), heating lamp, thermostat control knob, and a digital tube display.

The available cooking functions are:

  • OVEN LIGHT: This mode activates the oven light without engaging any heating elements.
  • DEFROST: The fan operates without heat to accelerate the defrosting process for frozen foods. The defrosting time varies based on room temperature, food quantity, and type.
  • FAN OVEN: This function utilizes a circular heating element with heat distributed by a fan, ensuring faster and more economical cooking. It allows for simultaneous cooking on different shelves without transferring smells or tastes between dishes.
  • FULL GRILL: This mode uses both the inner and outer parts of the top heating element to direct heat downwards, ideal for grilling medium to large portions of items like sausages, bacon, steaks, and fish.

The oven also incorporates a programmer/timer with three statuses: standby, select function, and working. Users can set system time, alarms, cooking time, and cooking end time. The timer provides visual cues through icons on the digital display, such as "Auto" function icon, "Oven in use" icon, second icon, and alarm icon, to indicate the current status and programmed settings. An intermittent sound signal alerts users when an alarm or cooking time has ended.

Usage Features

Before first use, it is crucial to clean the oven thoroughly. Users should pre-heat the oven to the desired cooking temperature before placing food inside, especially when not using the fan oven mode, in which case an additional ten minutes of cooking time is recommended. All unnecessary oven accessories should be removed before cooking. Cooking trays should be placed in the center of the oven, leaving space between multiple trays for proper air circulation. Oven trays should not be placed directly on the base of the oven or covered with aluminum foil, as this can lead to thermal accumulation and potential enamel damage.

When opening the oven door, caution is advised to avoid contact with hot parts and steam. The oven light remains on during cooking, allowing users to monitor dishes with minimal door opening.

The timer functions allow for flexible cooking schedules:

  • System Time Setting: Users can set the current time (0:00 to 23:59) using the K5 and K6 buttons.
  • Alarm Setting: An independent alarm can be set (0:00 to 23:59) using K5 and K6 buttons, which does not control oven functions but provides an audible alert.
  • Cooking Time Setting: Users can program a specific cooking duration (0:00 to 10:00). Once the set time ends, the oven automatically stops cooking, and an intermittent sound signal is triggered.
  • Cooking End Time Setting (Reservation Function): This feature allows users to set a desired end time for cooking. The oven will automatically calculate the start time based on the set cooking duration and end time, beginning operation at the appropriate moment.

All timer settings are confirmed automatically after a 5-second delay if no further buttons are pressed. Settings can be queried or reset during operation. The "AUTO" function icon indicates when a program is active.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the oven. The oven should be cleaned after every use, with the oven light switched on for better visibility. The oven chamber should be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge, then wiped dry. Abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers should not be used on the oven door glass or cavity surfaces, as they can cause scratches or damage the enamel. Steam cleaners are also not recommended.

Any stains on the oven bottom are typically from food splashes and should be cleaned regularly. Selecting appropriate cooking temperatures, functions, and using adequately sized dishes with a drip tray can help prevent such stains.

For external parts, warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge are suitable. If using an oven cleaner, verify its compatibility with the appliance manufacturer. Damage caused by unsuitable cleaning products may not be covered under warranty.

Replacing the Oven Light Bulb:

  1. Ensure the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the mains supply.
  2. Set all control knobs to "0".
  3. Unscrew and remove the lamp cover, then wipe it dry.
  4. Carefully remove the old bulb and replace it with a new high-temperature bulb (300°C) with specifications: 230V, 25W, G9 thread. Do not use other bulb types.
  5. Ensure the new bulb is properly inserted into the ceramic socket.
  6. Screw the lamp cover back on.

Removing the Oven Door for Cleaning:

  1. Fully open the oven door.
  2. Lift the two mobile links of the hinges to their designated position.
  3. Close the door to the half-way position.
  4. Lift the door upwards and slide the hinges outwards to remove it. Hold the door by the sides near the hinges.

Installing the Oven Door:

  1. Align the hinge plugs with the openings in the oven frame.
  2. Ensure both sides of the hinge rabbet engage properly.
  3. When opening the door, spread down the locking rod.
  • Caution: If the door drops or hinges shut suddenly, do not place hands in the hinges. Contact customer service if this occurs.

Removing the Internal Glass Panel:

  1. Unscrew and unfasten the bracket latch located in the top corner of the door.
  2. Remove the glass from the second blocking mechanism.
  3. After cleaning, reinsert and block the glass panel, then screw in the blocking mechanism.

Regular Inspections:

  • Periodically inspect control elements and cooking units.
  • After the warranty expires, a technical inspection by a service center every two years is recommended.
  • Address any operational faults promptly.
  • All repairs and regulatory activities must be performed by an authorized service center or qualified fitter.
