Hi Guys
On my visit to the daughter's flat in Edinburgh she was complaining that the control job on the electric oven was getting hot. I think this was when the device was set to grill mode but not sure. The nob reached a temperature that required a cloth to operate. Any ideas what's going on here? Thanks Phil -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Thanks Phil Just the one knob or all of them? All the knobs:- Many grill in the top of the oven have a deflector plate that you have to pull out when grilling, most that don't require you to close the door. Having the door open and no deflector lets lots of heat get to the knobs. One knob:- Its probably faulty and needs replacing. |

Thanks Phil bad switch contacts or poor connection to the wires. Either way it'll deteriorate & burn open circuit or less likely worse. it won't be down to grill heat, not unless it's very old, modern ovens aren't permitted to let the controls get burning hot in operation.

I've been looking for a replacement gas hob and have been looking at user reviews on some web sites. I've seen 2 reviews where the users have said that placing a pan on the burner directs the flame towards the control knobs which get hot! Form memory, these reviews were for hobs nearer the top end of the price range. Operator error? Not turning the gas down so that the flame is under the pan (and thus heating it) rather than blazing up the sides with the heat disappearing into the room. -- Cheers Dave. |

Or possibly using a large a pan carelessly so it overhangs the knob and spreads the flame. Don't ask me how I know but I still like my big oval saute pan :) -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

Did a bit of property maintenance in Australia and was called to an Indian tenants residence about a gas hob,Knobs had melted, They used such giant pots that they covered knobs and the flames got at them. At another Indians place I was called because flames were coming from under the hob, The aluminium gas feed pipes to the ring had melted, same cause, giant cooking pots. |

Are you sure thats true grill mode and not just top element in oven only mode? A red hot grill element, a pan full of bacon and a closed door sounds like a recipe for disaster.

My oven has a fan to cool the space between hob and top oven. This is intended to keep the controls cool. If yours is similar perhaps the fan has failed. -- djc (̿Ĺ̯̿ ̿) No low-hanging fruit, just a lot of small berries up a tall tree. |

Tim Its a series six bosch and it grills really well. Its red hot on maximum but not on minimum. The oven and seals can cope with the 450C pyrolytic mode so a hot grill is nothing. It also has hot air grilling and top/bottom/fan/microwave heating too or combinations of them. |
