Why Gram Oven does not start?
- C
  Carolyn MurphyAug 5, 2025
  Your Gram Oven might not start due to a few reasons. First, check if the power cord is properly plugged into the socket; try pulling the plug and reinserting it after 10 seconds. Second, a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker could be the issue; replace the fuse or turn the circuit breaker on (any repairs by manufacturer service only). Lastly, there might be a problem with the power outlet itself; test the outlet by plugging in another appliance.

The Gram IMC 20678-90 X is a built-in microwave oven designed for household use, offering a range of cooking functions including microwave, grill, and various combi modes, as well as automatic programs and defrosting options.

Function Description

The appliance provides versatile cooking capabilities:

Microwave Function: Ideal for cooking and heating vegetables, potatoes, rice, fish, and meat.
Forced Air Circulation (Hot Air): Allows for cooking meals similar to a conventional oven. The microwave function is not active in this mode. Preheating the oven is recommended.
Grill Function: Particularly useful for cooking thin cuts of meat and fish. It offers three power levels.
Roaster with Fan (Grill with Fan): Combines grilling with fan circulation for even cooking and simultaneous browning of dishes.
Lower Heater with Forced Air Circulation: Suitable for baking dishes such as pizza, moist cake, fruit cake, and sponge cake.
Combi Modes:
- Microwave + Hot Air: For quick baking of dishes.
- Microwave + Grill with Fan: Useful for preparing small cuts of meat, fish, or vegetables, and for browning the skin.
- Microwave + Lower Heater + Forced Air Circulation: For dishes requiring rapid cooking and heating.
- Microwave + Grill: For rapid cooking and simultaneous browning of the dish skin (also baked dishes). Microwaves cook the food while the grill bakes it.
Automatic Programs (P01-P13): Thirteen predefined programs for various types of food, where power and temperature are set automatically based on food type and weight. Some programs include a "keep warm" step.
Defrosting by Weight (d01-d03): Three predefined programs for defrosting meat or vegetables based on their weight.
Defrosting by Time: Allows the user to set a specific defrosting time.
Keep Warm Function: Can be activated after selecting forced air circulation, air circulation, combi (microwave + forced air circulation), or combi (microwave + air circulation) functions. The microwave function is off during this mode.
Child Lock: A safety feature that locks the controls to prevent accidental operation, activated by pressing and holding a button for 3 seconds in standby mode.
