Bertazzoni oven/range grill in the oven is slow

The grill function on a Bertazzoni oven/range is designed to cook food quickly and evenly. However, there are a few things that can cause the grill to be slow.

Possible causes:

• Incorrect function selected
• Faulty igniter
• Low gas pressure
• Clogged grill burners
• Faulty grill element

Troubleshooting:

1. Check the function selected

The first step is to make sure that the correct function is selected. The grill function is usually labeled with a grill icon. If the top element function is selected, the grill will not heat up as quickly.

2. Check the igniter

If the igniter is faulty, it may not be able to ignite the grill burners. To check the igniter, turn on the grill and listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear a clicking sound, the igniter may need to be replaced.

3. Check the gas pressure

Low gas pressure can also cause the grill to be slow. To check the gas pressure, use a gas pressure gauge to measure the pressure at the grill burners. The pressure should be within the manufacturer’s specifications.

4. Check the grill burners

If the grill burners are clogged, they may not be able to heat up as quickly. To clean the grill burners, remove them from the oven and scrub them with a wire brush.

5. Check the grill element

If the grill element is faulty, it may not be able to heat up as quickly. To check the grill element, turn on the grill and use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the element. The resistance should be within the manufacturer’s specifications.

If you have checked all of the possible causes and the grill is still slow, you should contact a qualified technician for further assistance.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting slow grilling:

• Make sure that the grill is properly aligned. If the grill is not aligned correctly, it may not be able to heat up as evenly.
• Do not overload the grill. Overloading the grill can prevent it from heating up as quickly.
• Preheat the grill for at least 5 minutes before cooking. Preheating the grill will help it to heat up more quickly.

By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your Bertazzoni oven/range grill is working properly.
