Features of Kuppersberg ovens

Despite the fact that Russia and the CIS countries are the main sales market for Kuppersberg household appliances, many of our compatriots may not be familiar with this brand. The fact is that it appeared relatively recently, in the early 2000s, and has not yet managed to acquire the popularity that its competitors have. Initially, hoods were produced under the Kuppersberg brand (translated from German - "mountain peak"), but later the company began to produce various kitchen appliances. Today, it also manufactures ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators, kitchen sinks, washing machines, and more.

In this article, we will take a closer look at Kuppersberg ovens. The manufacturer claims their reliability and functionality, however, for a Russian resident, the brand remains unfamiliar, which is why a lot of doubts may arise before buying. Therefore, we have collected for you all the known facts, as well as feedback from the owners, to tell you about the main features and benefits of these ovens.

First of all, it is worth noting the features of the assembly of ovens. Due to the fact that the equipment is focused on the Russian market, almost all models are adapted for operation in local conditions. For many, this will be a definite plus. Along with the functionality and reliability of its products, the manufacturer is always noted for a unique design. But not all owners are ready to confirm this feature. Kuppersberg appliances really have a pleasant appearance that fits perfectly into the interior of a modern kitchen, but you should not expect something unusual and completely new.

Among the advantages are also design and equipment. Many fragments can be removed and the surface is easy to clean, making the equipment easier to use and maintain. Most models come with at least one rack and two baking sheets. Another plus of the cabinets of this brand is their low fuel consumption. However, this is only relevant for gas varieties. And the last major benefit noted by owners is ease of management.

Unfortunately, there were some drawbacks. The most basic ones again relate to gas models. They lack gas monitoring and many are not equipped with leakage protection. And also the function of electric ignition is not provided. In general, Kuppersberg ovens have a very limited set of operating modes. But do not forget that today there are many different models with their own pros and cons. We'll take a closer look at a few of the most popular models later.

Ovens are divided into two main varieties, depending on your power source:

• gas;
• electrical.

Electric ovens have increased electrical requirements. First of all, a building or house must be equipped with an uninterrupted supply of electricity. And for reliable and safe operation, it is necessary to protect equipment from power surges.But electric ovens have additional functions that the gas version does not have. For example, you can set the most accurate heating temperature, while gas ovens have only two modes, upper and lower. The evenly distributed heat can be kept at a certain level, but some dishes are difficult to cook. Also, electric ovens can defrost food and provide for steam cooking.

Built-in models of ovens are also produced under the Kuppersberg trademark. They can be placed in the body of kitchen furniture, which solves all problems with the introduction into your interior. At the same time, such ovens are not at all inferior to conventional ones in terms of their reliability and functionality. Speaking about the types of ovens, one cannot fail to mention the models with the microwave function. These models are additionally equipped with microwave functions.

As mentioned above, today there are many different models of Kuppersberg ovens. They all have their pros and cons. You can choose an oven that suits your requirements and financial capabilities. Let's consider the most popular models.

Gas oven equipped with an electric ignition function. It has a medium size and capacity, which is quite enough for home use. Design can be both a plus and a minus. The fact is that the appearance of the oven is made in a retro style and may not fit into some kitchen interiors. Another disadvantage may be low functionality and only 3 operating modes - bottom heat, grill and spit.

Electric model with 9 operating modes. And also there are such useful features as a cooling system, child protection and safety shutdown. The oven is equipped with a display and touch control panel. Among the advantages, the owners point out a pleasant modern design, easy operation and maintenance, as well as a wide variety of functions. At the same time, there are practically no significant disadvantages.

Another electric oven, in many ways similar to the previous model. Has a lovely black design. Along with it, buyers note the high build quality. However, the price, they say, can "bite". And many functions are not always used for home cooking.

Gas oven with modern standard design. Attractive colors (silver body, black door) will fit into any kitchen interior. Like other gas models, it has only three operating modes and only the most basic functions. For example, there is no electrical ignition and gas control. However, the owners note that this is quite enough for such a low cost. In addition, the oven is of high build quality. The control panel is mechanical, consists of three rotary switches, which makes the operation of the equipment as simple as possible. A bonus to all other pluses is a timer with sound notification.

It is an improved version of the previous model. This oven is practically devoid of significant drawbacks. But it still has the same limitations as all gas ovens. But there are functions of gas control and emergency shutdown, which significantly increases the safety of operation. The design is quite nice, made in high-tech style, the color is white. By the way, the inside of the oven is covered with enamel, which makes cleaning easier.

Before we start listing the main selection criteria, let's look at the benefits of installing an independent oven. These include:

• the ability to cook a variety of dishes;
• multifunctionality;
• a large selection of models;
• connection to one of the two main power supplies;
• autonomy;
• small size;
• nice design;
• the ability to build an oven into kitchen furniture.

The second main criterion is the modes of operation. If you are going to cook a variety of delicious dishes, it is worth purchasing an electric oven. All gas models have only three main modes: bottom heat, grill and spit. This is usually sufficient for home cooking. But this may not be enough for professional cooks. Electric ovens, in turn, can have different modes depending on the model.

The third criterion is management. It can be both modern touchscreen and traditional mechanical. Many owners advise choosing the second option, as it is the most reliable. It is quite convenient to operate the oven using the rotary switches. But you should also pay attention to the presence of electric ignition, which greatly simplifies operation. And the last criterion is additional useful characteristics. For example, many experts advise choosing models equipped with a gas control function, since increased safety is never superfluous. And they also recommend choosing ovens with:

• double-layer glazing - reduces heat loss;
• hydrolysis cleaning - facilitates the process of taking care of the oven;
• spit - expands the list of dishes available for cooking.

As with any other appliance, problems can arise with independent ovens during use. We recommend that you carefully read the instructions supplied by the manufacturer before using. Fortunately, they are all presented in Russian too. Let's consider the most common questions.

• How to set the clock - the problem occurs with models equipped with an electronic display. With mechanically controlled ovens, everything is extremely simple. To set the time on the display, press the MODE button and set the timer using the "+" and "-" buttons.
• How to remove glass - open the oven door and pull the glass towards you while holding the bottom of the glass. In some models, it is secured with screws that must be removed first. Again, you should follow the instructions for your specific model.
• How to replace a light bulb - you must first disconnect the oven from the power supply. Then you can remove the diffuser and unscrew the old lamp. After replacing it with a new one, put the diffuser back in place, connect the oven and check its operation.
• How to choose a heating mode - again, with mechanical control, everything is clear, we are talking about an electronic display. It is necessary to go to the menu, and using the control buttons, select the appropriate tab responsible for the heating mode.

In general, Kuppersberg ovens are a good budget solution for your kitchen. For quite reasonable money you can get a reliable and functional oven of high European quality. And the company's focus on the Russian market allows you to choose a model that is suitable for any operating conditions.
