Belling FSG61DOPFS Questions

Sue B.7y

Have a Belling 900DFT and there is a rear vent on the bottom left hand oven, what is this for?

Hi Sue,

This is for ventilation for hot air,

thanks

We have a brand new Belling BFS60DOIND freestanding unit bought yesterday. We are currently running the ovens as per the instructions prior to use to burn off the odour. A strong flow of hot air is blowing out of the front of the top oven door. This is both uncomfortable for the person cooking, and a waste of power. The fan also makes a high pitched whine sound. Anay coment?

Was this resolved Lloyd? Sounds like a poor seal design on several of the Belling Models, particulary on the smaller top oven. It's certainly not for 'ventillation' on an electric oven!

I wanted to ask why I can feel the heat escaping from the top of the door of the top oven. Upon opening the door I can see the rubber seal going almost all round the edge to seal against the door but for about a 20 cm piece of flat chrome along the top. I tried the oven once and was concerned that it was letting out too much heat and I didn't want to waste gas by trying to get the oven to temperature. After about 15 minutes or maybe less, I used the lower oven to cook tea. I may have been premature by not letting it get to temperature properly but the heat coming out the door was concerning. I bought the oven to cost less to cook, not more?? It is model no; FSG61DOPFSLPG Stainless and I look forward to an answer. Chris

Hi Chris, First of all, congratulations on your purchase. It is difficult to know if what you describe is normal operation as what you think might be an excessive amount of air escaping may be normal (and vice versa). Can we grab your contact information please so we can have a chat over the phone?

Thank you.

Is it not for letting the steam escape? Gas ovens produce vapour. The lower oven has 2 vents / flues at the back, I didn't think the upper one did? There is also a fan that then blows away the excess heat. You hear it kick in after the appliance has been on for a bit and also after you have turned it off. I lose heat from here but have never had an issue (so far) with cooking in the upper cavity and I also have the gap with the rubber. I just always assumed it was acting like the flues that are behind the stove coming from the bottom cavity.
