okay, thanks, hopefully I can persuade him to help me out. I will get back to you once any progress is made.
That would be beyond my ability sadly. I May be able to get my neighbour to help out if he is willing. he is a retired Miele field engineer/ manager, so not only has all the equipment I’m sure but also the knowledge of what the heck he would be doing.
Any other advice I can pass on to him (if he is willing to help out that is) ?
okay now gone through all of the possible combinations, with the following results. All were done with the oven thermometer in place to record the temps.
On Conventional cooking (no fan I presume but it doesn’t specify that) – heats both from the top and bottom element. it reached its max temp of 280 with no problems, I could also switch it off at the wall switch without it affecting the main fuse.
on Dual grill – uses full grill element, max temp of 250 reached and no problem with house fuse when switching off at wall switch
on thermal grilling, using top element and fan – says in the manual that a max of 200 is set, yet using temp control it could be set for 250?
Temp did indeed reach 250 and no problem switching it off at the wall switch.on fan cooking max temp of 250 is reached and no problem switching off at the wall switch
Update, I went to try one of the modes but when I moved to dial to any of the settings, the F5 error code shows, even though the ovens temp now shows at 150, but the outside top edge where the controls are, is way to hot to try and touch, I would burn myself if i held a finger there for even 1 second.
I set it to its max in what they call fan cooking it went to 250 and stayed there constantly.
Tried it on pyro clean, at 25 mins (5 minutes before it usually trips), the thermometer was banging on its stop, so at least 350 i would say. Switched the oven off at the wall switch and doing that tripped the main fuse again. There was No F5 displaying once it was switched back on again though.
I am currently waiting for it to cool down enough before I try using the elements on their own obviously.
Shall I go ahead and test those as you said, given what has now occurred please?Just so you know, the entire kitchen was rewired only 2 weeks ago by my housing association. New mains wire taken from the dual fuse box through to the kitchen and all new sockets and connections fitted and tested.
Thanks for the info, it’s appreciated.
I have the same oven thermometer as the one you linked to, so no help there except by guesswork as you say.
I have no real idea which element is in use in normal cooking as all it ever really gets used for is standard cooking with the fan in use and temperature set to 180 – 200.
The other problem is that the temp setting has a max of 250 but I am trying that now, to see if it does get overhot. Will let you know what occurs
Thank you
