Belling Mini Richmond Dual Fuel BR54DF Questions & Answers

Good morning Allan Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with your Belling FSE611S. We’re pleased to hear that you’ve enjoyed using the oven and appreciate your detailed feedback. We understand how frustrating reliability issues can be, particularly when the cooktop performs well at times. Please be assured that we are continually investing in research and development to improve the quality and reliability of our appliances. Since your model was manufactured, there have been ongoing advancements in induction technology, including improvements to control systems and component durability. These enhancements have been incorporated into our newer ranges, such as the Belling Mini Richmond, and are designed to deliver improved reliability and overall performance. We acknowledge that earlier generations of induction cooktops could be more sensitive to factors such as internal components, power supply conditions, and cookware compatibility, and these considerations have been addressed in later models. Thank you again for your honest feedback—it is invaluable in helping us continue to improve. You can view the range of Belling Ovens at your nearest Harvey Norman store. Kind regards Belling

Good morning, Annie. Thank you for your enquiry regarding the Belling Mini Richmond. We are continually improving and upgrading all our products. Our teams do extensive testing and reviewing so that the highest quality products are available. Our Belling upright ovens are backed by our 5-year warranty so you can purchase with confidence. Kind regards Belling

Good morning Kerrie Thank you for reaching out. If you could please supply me with your email address so I can look into this for you and provide some assistance regarding these issues. Kind regards Belling

I have had my Belling mini for 5years now. The ovens have never switched themselves off. Perhaps having them on Max temp is overheating it and it is turning off as a safety feature. Maybe. My dial markings have not worn off. However my springs did come off the dials but hasn't affected its use. My Belling gets lots of hard work. May I kindly suggest getting a bread machine for your lovely bread and I hope your Belling keeps working for you long term as mine has.

Good morning Michael Thank you for your enquiry. You can remove the telescopic runner to make sure there is no cooking debris interfering with the sliding action. The runners just clip off and on. What side is the runner that is causing the issue? Kind regards Belling

Thanks. I've soaked the runner, which is the top runner, attached to the right hand frame and tried to clean it as well as possible. No difference. I'll try to unclup the runners from the frame and have a closer look. Cheers.

Hi Michael Let me know how it goes please. If this doesn't work, can you please supply your email address. Kind regards Belling

Thanks, I managed to free up the telescopic runner. It must have just enough gunk in it to stop it. The 4 runners are 95% almost pristine with only one very minor overflow episode in their lives, but, that was enough to jam the one runner. mjcussen58@gmail.com. Cheers

Had my mini Belling for 5 years, use it alot, have never cleaned the telescopic runners and they work fine. My friend who has the larger model always had runners that got stuck, her handy hubby removed them permanently. The oven works fine without them. If you have continual issues consider just removing them.

Hi Annaatredrock, thank you for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear of this. I will reach out to you directly to get some additional details. Thanks

Had my mini Belling for 5 years in Australia but haven't had these issues. Hope you can get it sorted.

Hi Kerrie, thank you for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear of this. I will reach out to your directly to get some additional details. Thanks

Kerrie I have had so many issues with my belling with corrosion and the racks wrote to belling and got no help wished I never bought it. Wasn’t cheap and is now a lemon

Hi Peter, I have had a mini Belling for 4 years now. Mine has a gas stove top but the 2 ovens below are electric. I love that I have a small (1 tray) oven and the lower oven will take 3 trays - great for making batches of cookies. Having the 2 ovens means you can do lots of baking using different temperatures. The top smaller convection oven cooks just as nicely as the larger fan forced lower oven. There is nothing I have not been able to cook in both ovens and I love to cook ! You can definitely bake deserts or anything in them. A great buy, a small stove that can cook alot of food. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Kind regards. Leanne (Australia)

Thanks Leanne - the two ovens is a great idea - it seems like great design it just seems like there are quite bad reviews. Though, sometimes you hear from the happy customers. The stove would fit well in my kitchen but I have seen a few friends buy the expensive retro stoves and to be "under-whelmed" with the performance. I guess, we won't be doing very technical baking. Thanks for your feedback. I will look into it further. cheers Pete

I meant to say you "don't " here from happy customers

Peter have had so many issues with my belling with corrosion and the racks wrote to belling and got no help wished I never bought it. Wasn’t cheap and is now a lemon do not buy one

I have had one of these ovens for 4 years... never leaked on me.

Ok thank you

I’ve been using my Belling Richmond mini for two months and am having the exact problem you describe, with water pooling on the floor below oven opening, and water dripping from the door when it’s open. I contacted Belling and was told a repair person would be sent out. However a few days later the repair company rang to tell me that Belling had cancelled the repair visit when they learnt we lived in the Upper Blue Mountains (extra transport cost apparently). Belling sent an email telling me how I should use the oven. However I’m already doing everything they suggested. I’m exhausted by the process of trying to get a satisfactory response from Belling. It’s been a really disappointing process.

Hi Kabu, I'm sorry to hear of this. I will reach out to you directly to get some additional information. Thanks

Hi Mellissa, thank y for your question. I will reach out to you directly to get some additional information. Thanks

Hi Anna, thank you for your question. This model was in production from the early 2000's right up to a few years ago. Thanks

Thank you for your question. Currently they are the only colours available. You may be able to update your door skins in a different colour, if available as a separate part. Thanks

I got mine from Harvey Norman 4 years ago, the stove top is black and the 2 doors are a lovely bone/ light mustard neutral color. Hope you find one that's not only black or white. For a small size you can cook ALOT as the grill doubles as a small oven.

Thanks. I'm after an induction top, and the new model of those only seems to come in black or white, at least in Australia

Do u like it? I hear water and grease leak from the oven door and people have to put towels down to catch it

Hi Robyn, Thank you for your question, please see the below link as they are available again: external link  Thanks

Hi Karen, unfortunately this is a run out model and we do not have any stock, the new model is BFS54DODF but they are in black only, hope this helps thank you

Hi Stuart,

Yes, please speak to the store of purchase just to make sure you get the right oven, enjoy your new belling :)

1 year on, loving my mini Richmond. Being able to use the grill as a small oven is super handy. Easy to clean. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have.

Hi Lee, it sounds like you work for Belling. Bit suss
