Hi forumers!

I would like to ask your comments of fotile oven before I purchase it. Anyone here used it before? Kindly let me know your comments/views.

Thank you!

Me too thinking of getting Fotile. I heard it is good and only Fotile has that air curtain technology.

Hi Mohag,

Can you pls elaborate more on the air curtain tech thingy..pls? Thanks!

I received a PM saying that Fotile is good for its hob, hood, sterizer and microwave oven but not in their ovens. The person recommended Electrolux or Rinnai.

I know Electrolux is good but unsure about Rinnai. I'm askign about Fotile is because the package I had was very good..but then again, the hood doesn't really meet my demand as I need a slim hood (as you can see in my KC design in the other post). But if the Fotile oven is good, then I have to change my design to accomodate the hood.

Hi, i think i've overlooked the word 'oven' in ur post, sorry.

The air curtain is actually air blowing down from the hood to act as a barrier, so no smoke can escape from the hood. I think its the same concept in shopping complexs doors. You can feel air blowing when u enter them. Any sifus correct me if i'm wrong.

About the oven, me too still looking. Went to a shop and the sales person showed me a Fotile oven that has functions as microwave also. He said 2 in 1, no need to get microwave anymore, saves space, but that oven is not in the promotion. I think maybe Zheilwane can answer this.

Just to let everyone know..that I ended up buying Fotile..and so far it's great! Baked cupcakes with it last Sunday and today gonna do shepherd's pie..

I am planning to get a fotile oven too.. which model you are talking?

I bought KEG6002. You?

every oven is good depends on their function.

1. ventilation fan ( or call turbo fan) this makes the things you cook even.
2. auto cleaning, no matter your cook chicken or bake cookies, the oven can turn to top heat and turn all the left over on oven's wall into dust.
doesn't smell chicken on your cookies
3. at least 8 functions.
4. site demo provided
5. after sales service and spare parts
6. front door heat proof.

if the oven has above functions, that consider a good oven.

no auto cleaning as I don't think i will use it as it will consume extra electricity. the good rule of thumb is to maintain the oven properly - clean after every use.

If to remove smell..i think can always leave bicarbonate soda (in a bottle) and just leave it in the oven to remove the smell..just like how i did for my fridge. works wonders.

the auto cleaning is just good if you need to bake cookies after you bake chicken, ( becos the fat of chicken will stick on the oven after you baking it) if the bake cookies (even after cleaning) also will get chicken smell on your cookies. so that is what auto cleaning use of. turns the fat into dust also clean the smell.

anyway, if you not really a baking person, i think every brand is good.

Yes I know it's from china. Any implication if it's from china?

actually not quite practical to have auto clean function as it requires around 4 hours of burning. Would u use the auto clean function every time after baking cookies? Auto Clean burns the residuals to ashes, it also burns ur money. Regarding baking cookies after chicken, would u wait 4 hours after the auto cleaning is done den only u bake ur cookies?

Btw, you will need to clean ur oven, make sure there is no grease or food left in the oven before starting auto clean. If u don do so, it might cause ur oven to be on fire. So, we are back to square one, you still need to clean it urself.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...13140303AAFRO2X

As what phythia79 said, if u clean it after using every use, then it should b ok and you do not need the auto clean function. The auto clean function will lock the oven and heats up around 900F, and you will need to leave it around 4 hours, probability of ur oven breaking down soon is very high. Google around and you will get more info.

WHat is wrong with things made in China? as long the product is good den it is OK. Most of the branded stuff are also made in china now. Fotile has invented, 3D ionized air curtains, Nautilus air passageway, 5 nozzle drives, 25.5 angle burning technology and many more, what do the other brands have?


No point trying to talk bad about other brands, just feed forumers with info and let them decide which is the best.

Just a friendly reminder to forumers who are interested with FOTILE.
If the goods are not delivered by FOTILE's transporter, don BUY it. It might be a stolen goods, dented display unit, 2nd hand and etc. WHen the deal is too good to be true, just be careful. Always buy from a reliable shop with good experience.
Here is a very good example

I'm not saying products from china is not good, but for technology in ovens , western countries are always more advanced , as their cooking technique involves a lot more baking than asian cooking. And also, I think site demo and site service is important, which western brands always provide (such as TEKA, Bosch etc.

sorry for the misunderstanding but u wrote fotile is china brand without any1 asking, i bliv many will think that u r trying to say things made in china are bad. I would say FOTILE has a very good reputation for service & their products as if they are bad, those forumers who bought from me will start posting their bad experience with FOTILE. On the other hand, many praised and recommended other forumers to buy this brand.

for information,

the auto-clean/self-clean time aka pyrolytic cycle depends on how dirty the oven cavity is.

if the oven cavity is minimal, the self-cleaning cycle takes 5 to 10mins to complete. example: the user just has to select the maximum heat (oven with auto clean function) to burn off the stubborn cooking residues after finish baking/cooking (just spend another Rm1 or RM2 ringgit on the electricity bill per practice, is this sound reasonable?). after the pyrolytic cycle, the interior is bacteria-free.

by using a manual cleaning method, who can ensure that the oven interior is bacteria-free? using antibacteria cleaning kit? (errr,use of chemical in the oven '')

well, if the oven cavity is horrendous, i dont think the user is able to wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Agree?

so, the built in oven with auto clean function is very economical (rated Energy :Class A) thanks to the advanced oven technology.

For oven, microwave and such...to properly maintain it, one must clean down after every use with a mild detergent and warm water. If it is done religiously every time, there's no need to even use the auto cleaning function. It was made because of some ppl who just don't clean their oven or too lazy to do it after every use and this would ease their 'burden'.

bacteria-free? I think there's no such thing as bacteria-free unless you are totally in a sterile environment. I think even with the heat while cooking can kill the bacteria.

FYI, if you clean everytime after a use, you don't need a super cleaning agent to clean the oven. Mild soap in warm water will do the trick. This is coming from someone who actually uses the oven, not selling it.

Fotile is/was used as a gift/freebies for some condo projects under Brem holdings in Bkt Pelangi.. So far I have not heard any -ve comments abt these freebies from the resident...

And to a certain extend, some if not all european brands are getting the product manufactured in China too for obvious reasons. So long as they control the quality during the production cycle there is nothing wrong by having a China made product..

http://www.websiterepairguy.com/articles/h...clean_oven.html

The site is good for those who doesn't really clean their ovens and for once a month proper cleaning. Furthermore, it easy on your pocket and good to the environment plus not damaging to the oven.

This post has been edited by phythia79: Mar 24 2011, 10:39 AM

Pyrolytic cycle is to practice at the end of the cooking/baking session by setting the maximum heat while the oven is still hot to shorten the heating time (compared to cool interior) and this process lasts in a few minutes.

The time taken same as cooling down the oven, use damp cloth to wipe the interior.

Both practices are easy. There is no such statement saying auto clean function is money wasting, consumption high electricity. If this is so, what about the induction hob and ceramic hob? European people are more energy concerned than Asian people.

I'm a seller of eight built in oven brands and am also an oven user who uses more than my mother does.

I believe many of the potential oven buyer does not clear on what the auto clean function is and most (mostly) shops they visit generally will not explain in details to customers.

What are the most popular questions the customers normally ask?

1: function mode ie 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 functions
2: triple glazed or double glazed door
3: origin of the oven manufactured


Each oven is different by its specification. If I am only selling 1 or 2 brands, I will say either A or B is better than the other as the customer has 2 choices only.

About bacteria in oven without auto cleaning.
If my form 5 science is right, most bacteria dies off at 100 degree celsius, thatz why we boil our water before drinking and boiling temperature is 100 degree celcius.... After doing some research online, most bacteria dies off at 100 celsius and none will survive at 250 Fahrenheit or 121 celsius, which is way below the max temperature of ovens without auto cleaning function. As like what phythia79 said, "the heat while cooking can kill the bacteria."
http://www.foodsafetysite.com/educators/co...teria/bac4.html

Auto clean 5-10 minutes.
It is true if u perform the auto clean after using the oven will shorten the auto cleaning period as it is still hot inside, but don think it can shorten it from 4 hours to few minutes. As i said earlier, u will need to clean ur oven to make sure there is no grease or etc or else the high temperature will burn the grease and cause fire, so back to square one you need to clean it yourself. Just google around and you will find some comments. Here is an example.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...13140303AAFRO2X

Wasting money
Most chinese citizen cycle around instead of driving, can i say they are more energy concerned than European people?
Auto clean heats up your oven upto 950 Fahrenheit, u can just imagine how many kilowatt (kW) you need to consume to generate that amount of heat and you need to leave it on for few hours. So, is it energy consuming and wasting your money?

This is to support what i said above
http://www.ehow.com/list_7018827_problems-...ning-ovens.html

Dont really understand, some forumers used FOTILE, satisfied with it and wanna share their experience with other forumers but there are some people (mainly competitors) out there trying their best to prove them wrong without any supporting facts.

Some even conned forumers by offering super low prices but later say no stock, then they propose another brand and refuse to refund the deposit. My customer insist to get FOTILE, den they finally give him a dented display unit saying it is brand new.

Therefore, the best is to buy from a reliable shop and if it is not delivered by FOTILE, dont buy it. They have stock most of the time and delivery is usually the next day upon confirmation in KL. Why would any1 bother to waste their petrol to deliver the goods where by the supplier could deliver for them. That is why i am able to give FREE delivery within west Malaysia.

Hi
Can you explain in detail how to remove smell by using bicarbonate soda? Txs

Hi jojo...you can just leave the bottle of bicarbonate soda (opened) and leave it in the oven/fridge.

Another way I found from the internet..(which i'm gonna try later tonight) is to fill the pan with water and slices of lemon and heat the oven up..the smell of the lemon should eliminate the smell.

Vinegar will work too, pour into a bowl, mix some water and it will absorb most of the smell. Vinegar is know to absorb odor don't expect miracle it won't happen in 2 min, take time like hours, depend how wide the surface area and how the air circulation. May want to put few pot / bowl of pure vinegar if you faster result.

Baking soda is also one miracle, it can instantly remove baby milky vomit smell or any vomit smell. Use in powder form or mix with water pour to affected area, and the smell are all gone.

wow, two professional chefs here...

Btw, many ppl called up and ask whether FOtile oven is good or not and some said they are not good, not durable and etc after reading some forumers comments, may b from this thread.

Any1 here could share their experience using FOtile oven? Sold quite many units to LYN forumers. So far, only received one complaint regarding light bulb.

I hv so far no complain abt the oven. Loving it. Just used it yesterday to toast a whole loaf of garlic bread.

I wonder what they say is not good?

Added on June 15, 2011, 1:15 amNot durable? Huh? Are they playing with the oven that it needs to be durable??

I believe that buying anything depends on luck too.

Yesterday, I was cleaning the Fotile Oven for the first time and some water seep into the double glazed window (refer picture). It left 2 lines of water mark in the window...

I heated the oven for an hour (as part of cleaning process) but the mark persisted. Any recommendations to get rid of the water mark?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Ovens are designed so that air can circulate through the door, keeping the outside oven temperature cooler. All ovens have vents at the top of the door, when u r cleaning do not use overly wet rags or sponges because excess water or liquid can seep into the oven door and leave streaks in the glass.

In the mean time for other LYN members as well, you might wanna spend some time reading through this link shared by phythia79 which is very useful http://www.websiterepairguy.com/articles/h...clean_oven.html

Cornell...not too sure as I've not heard abt this brand for ovens when I was surveying.

Electrolux...it's a good brand for oven...I was contemplating btwn Electrolux and Fotile. I opted the latter due to budget but I have no regrets whatsoever.

Rinnai RBO-7MRX, 7 functions, made in italy, RM1600.

Electrolux EOB31002K, 5 functions, made in italy, RM1500.

Fotile BIHB156BK, 7 functions, made in china, RM1xxx.


erm, if i were you, continental oven is always my priority since the price is at affordable level.

No problem so for since bought from you 1/2 years ago. Quite heavy usage also.
All in all very satisfied.
Except for 1 small thing where the built in clock always running very slow. Any reason for it?

Tell you one thing, you can get a lot cheaper from our lowyat forummer itself, (me after looking the online price)

with extra money you can get budget for sink already

Oven I compare before too, but did not buy. Fotile oven is not bad. Actually most oven are about the same in term of spec. Some higher end do have some additional function and I find the high end oven the western brand like bosch, electrolux etc is still better.

I find the auto cleaning function not really good, eat up consumption too.

Also in malaysia mostly are build in oven, not many choice for external oven.

My friend who use oven very frequent end up buying build in oven for external use.

May I know the built in ovens is actually conventional or convection oven? I read that the difference between this 2 is convection oven has a fan that distributes heat evenly in the oven, so I think Fotile and other brands in the market are convection. But I found one thing though, turning the fan on, actually makes the food burnt very easily. I had tried using the fan on a few occasion - crispy pastry, cake, pie, meat and macaron, all turned out burnt even after I lessen the temp by 30 degrees (as taught to me by a student in Malaysia Baking Institute.

One more thing, this is about the mechanism of the oven. When I turn the temp to 170 degrees, does it

A. set only the heating element to 170 degrees, hence the cooking area in the oven's temperature is depending how much heat is transfer from heating element to it. In short, the food might not be cooking at exactly 170 degrees.

B. Regulate the temp for whole cooking area to maintain at 170 by adjusting the heating element's temp. So food is always cooked in 170.

Which is correct? I was baking a few batch of cookies continuously, and notice the first batch is alright, the later batches burnt easily although I did not change the temp and settings. Is the oven getting hotter and hotter?

I'm not blaming the oven that I had purchased, since I still did successfully made roast chicken and pies (without the fan) with it. Just want to understand, what I may had done wrong? I seemed to always had problem figuring out my oven, not just this one, but with the previous ovens of other brands.

Anyone can advise is it better to use plug or dirent connect for fotile oven?

may i know, are you using Fotile, i'm still cant decide whether to get Rubine or spend a bit to get Fotile

I'm using Rubine as my family not heavily using those. So far so good and hopefully can last for another 10 yrs lol

cool..anyone here used Bosch oven? heard that it's good but of cource pricey. Whirpool from US also pricey but i found that it's quite popular in US.

could anyone here post the picture of Oven KEG6002, closer look to the function button, i'm very concern on this..

This post has been edited by marshmallow82: Nov 7 2012, 02:07 PM

in my opionion: BOSCH is way better than Whirpool (for all products). BOSCH lasts, is solid and has all the features you need.

Why suddenly talked about Bosch and Whirpool? I thought this is the thread for Fotile oven?

Someone told me that European do better ovens than Asian! Fotile might not be better than other European brands!

marshmallow82 asked . i am all for european appliances - i have never had any better ones. all (sic!) of my non-euro appliances have been more or less disappointing (including f&p and whirlpool) with one surprising expection: a haier wine fridge i have is performing surprisingly great and completely hasslefree. i only had a fotile hob in my last house and what can i say it just wasnt *the thing* for me. i am now using a cat iron set of bosch hobs and personally (!) i am way more happy with them. i like the design and the flames and stuff. it's straightforward, gives a great flame, is nicely adjustable and looks great (to me).

Hi, need advice here. Do I need a 15A socket for Fotile oven KEG6002, or a normal 13A socket (direct pull from DB, non-looping) will do?

Anyone can help with this?
Personally I think a direct 13A socket from main board should not be a problem, however a 15A socket should be better.

i tried out my KEG6002 yesterday..turn it on top and bottom with the fan at the highest temperature for 1 hour as initial cleaning..electricity only went up 2 units..then baked mushroom and mac and cheese for 35mins 1 unit..

Is this normal to the rest of you using the fotile?

Can someone using Fotile KEG6002 here teach me how to add time while cooking at the same time without stopping the roasting/baking. Everytime i want to add the time for baking, the 'roasting' will stop.

Oh ya..Me too! I want to know too!

maybe cant adjust the time without stopping the roasting.. right now i feel like wanna change to KES6003A manual timer

I use my own timer, before roasting i preheat..so when i start i set the timer a few minutes more..
Half way wanna adjust it will stop

any good table top oven to reconmend

Hello,

Would like to ask a simple question regarding for warranty registration purpose.

If oven model is KEG6003A for example, then can I assume that the model code for this oven is KEG6003A as I didn't see any model code on the oven when I checked?

Can advise if there is any model code to be found on the oven?

Thanks!

This problem exist for all Fotile ovens? or few models only?
