Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer BOV860 Questions & Answers

I have not used grill function much, but if this is happening, I suspect that it is a built in function and I am sure Breville will confirm whether this is so. I know my standard oven grill works in this way, If this is the case, there may not be a "Fix" but I would try reaching out to Breville in case it is a fault with your oven.

My take from owning the previous model at 5/2019, is that it's too much to expect large oven quality and function for a small oven price. In the previous model which only differs in no Airfry function, the time dial was extremely dodgy, the light and some elements have failed and now the fan all by 3.5 y.o. This was only from light use... I believe if your oven fan is used regularly for high fat cooking its only a matter of time before the circulating fat will gum up the fan and just outside of warranty!

The one produced for the Australian market does not, but I guess you could use the bake function and experiment with the lowest temperature setting 50 C degrees. The US model does have a dehydrate function. I think 50 degrees will do the job though.

Thanks Geoff

The temp is ok as you can keep an eye on its progress, but also depends on what is dehydrating as light items (I've done parsley in the previous model using warm) can fly around if using the fan.

Yes the fan run when convection button is on, you will hear the sound.

It should come on automatically unless you specifically turn it off. The fan is known to fail in the previous model oven, as in my experience. The fan is loud enough and should be more obvious with this upgrade.

I certainly do not find it so. My stand alone air fryer that I used to own was much noisier.

Thank you for that advice

You can, on the lowest heat setting on the bake or roast cycle

I have been using mine for the past 8 months and my paint has begun to peel from the rim above the door. I agree, the quality should be better given the hefty price tag but I absolutely love the oven generally.

Why not simply contact Breville directly as per the manual?

Is there no fix for this? Very disappointed

Thanks for answering your response

no, not to try foil in oven

I have used foil - it is fine, but you do want to secure it as the fan of the oven is close. Another solution is to turn of the convection feature for your roast

You can. I would then use a tray underneath them though. It helps minimise mess and staining, but you will need to slightly lengthen your cooking time and turn the food.

I am not sure about baking paper but silicone baking mats will work. They can be heated to 230 degrees so will suit the Breville fine as that only goes to 220. The silicone baking mats are inexpensive and makes easy cleaning and everything bakes just the same as without one.

You can, but that will change the outcome, as an air fryer works by blowing air all around the food.

There is no dehydration function with Breville air fryer oven BOV860BSS

It is the same size as a micro wave and will fit in a caravan but don’t waste your money I sent emails and pictures of my air fryer with a question of how to clean it , it is a nightmare to clean and after several times asking I got a very sarcastic email try using a scourer and soap and water :/ I will never buy a breville product again Customer service sucks

Thanks Linda did not think about it being up high and difficult to clean. Cheers

I have one and it will fut in my microwave space in the caravan, I dont sctually find it too difficukt to clean, had mine about 8 months I guess, love the multi functions cooks great roasts, reheating, airfryer, toast, crumpet love it.

Yes you can. This does not use microwave energy, so using foil is quite safe to line a pan with.

yes more space in both side external link
