Fragenheini14 Mar 2013 19:40Hello,
we are interested in the LAGAN oven and the LAGAN or BARMHÄRTIG ceramic cooktop.
Has anyone had any experience with these and can share some insights?
How easy is it to use?
Does it beep if you move a hot pot from a hot burner to a neighboring cold burner?
Is it possible to accidentally press buttons by objects like pot holders, pots, or trays?
Can the child lock be accidentally deactivated by a wet pot holder lying on top?
Does the oven smell strongly of solvents or similar for a long time? (My brother said there is an Ikea oven in the daycare center that still smells unhealthy after a long time).
THANK YOU very much in advance!!!!!!!!!!

The Lagan cooktop does not beep because of the rotary knobs...
Barhärtig only beeps when the sensors are activated, multiple sensors are covered, or invalid commands are given – this is a warning sound.
Why Lagan? The oven basically only functions with on and off controls.

Yes, the beeping was only related to the “Barmhärtig” field.
Why LAGAN? My mother says that with cheap models, the convection fan usually breaks after a short time, so she doesn’t need it. The downside of a more expensive model with convection is that over the years, dirt accumulates behind the vents where the fan is located, and it’s hard to clean. This causes the fan to blow the dirt onto the food every time.
Regarding the smell, like with all these types of appliances, it’s clear that you first have to use a bowl of water or whatever is recommended without any food inside to get rid of initial odors. However, it seems that the unit at the daycare still smells. Well, maybe the operators there didn’t do this before the final commissioning.

The only solution is to heat the oven to full power. I’m not sure how long the manufacturers recommend in their instructions, but the cheaper the oven, the "cheaper" the components used, and the longer the heating-up phase. Therefore, at least 30 minutes should be enough.

IKEA-Experte16 Mar 2013 09:49My oven had a 60-minute setting. I preheated it properly right away by activating the pyrolytic cleaning function. The next two times I used the oven, there was still a smell, but then it stopped. It’s likely that the appliance was just left standing in a showroom beforehand.
I have never experienced any dirt ending up on the food. Nothing can settle inside since the fan always blows air through the oven while it’s running. I also find it hard to believe that convection ovens have been sold for 40 years if they were stirring up dirt inside (unless the oven is very dirty).

Nayla_106818 Mar 2013 14:25Hi,
The Lagan appliances are by no means "cheap" in quality; overall, they are not different from other appliances. The glass-ceramic surface is the same as on other cooktops, and the construction and material of the oven cavity are also no different from standard models without pyrolysis. Savings were simply made on features and on elements like trays and knobs.
The idea that the convection fan stirs up old residue onto the food is nonsense. And except for Lagan, these appliances typically come with a 5-year warranty. So, they are not low-quality items. Don’t always believe what your mom says. For a first apartment or if you don’t do much baking or cooking, Lagan is a good entry-level choice. You just have to overlook the appearance in this case. Just get proper advice about the appliances from your local retailer. Many homes also still have ovens being cleared out, sometimes with better features than Lagan, but even cheaper!
The appliance only responds with warning sounds when it is turned off. So, if you place a pot on an adjacent burner that is off, it won’t beep in that case. Basically, it can happen that when wiping over or placing something down, the cooktop activates or changes settings. Unfortunately, that’s typical for touch controls. Usually, though, you’re around and will hear the beep and can then switch off or adjust the cooktop. It won’t happen that a pot holder lies on it for a long time and the cooktop turns on by itself. Even if you don’t notice the change, the cooktop has pot detection. If you don’t provide any commands or there is no pot on it, it will switch off again. If you have cats or small children, it’s always advisable to activate the child lock.
