Hello Ikea friends,
I have had the IKEA Gränslös oven with pyrolysis for a year now. Since I like baking bread and the oven starts at 30°C (86°F), I thought it would be perfect for proofing dough. However, my bread didn’t rise properly... So I measured the actual temperature, and at the 30°C setting, the oven was producing heat between 50 and 60°C (122 and 140°F).
I then contacted customer service, and they even recorded 72°C (162°F). I believe that if the control says 30°C, the oven should actually be at 30°C. Customer service replaced the probes and sensors, but that made no difference. After consulting with AEG/Electrolux, the manufacturer of the oven, I was told this is completely normal and within usual tolerances.
If I ever get caught speeding by an Ikea car, I’ll argue the same way. The speedometer says 30, but I was driving 72, and that’s within usual tolerances...
Now I’d like to ask other IKEA Gränslös owners in this forum to set their oven to 30°C and check the temperature with a thermometer or similar device, to see if you also have such discrepancies. If needed, I might consider exchanging the oven for a different unit.
Best regards and thanks,
Martin
