ᐅ Preheating the IKEA Hyllad Oven: User Experiences

Hello everyone,

We recently bought a new IKEA kitchen, and overall I’m quite happy with everything except the IKEA Hyllad oven.

We completed the initial pyrolytic cleaning and then wanted to start using it properly.

Preheating feels like it takes forever. Yesterday, I tried using the convection setting, and it took a full hour to reach 180°C (356°F).

I can’t really make much sense of the IKEA manual; I’m on page 30.

I just can’t be expected to preheat the Hyllad oven for an hour every time, can I? I mean, a frozen pizza only needs about 10 minutes in the oven, and then I’m supposed to preheat for an hour?

Is there a better manual somewhere, or can anyone give me some helpful tips? Or could it be that there’s an issue with our power supply or with the oven itself?

Thanks for any advice and best regards

Hello,
if the pyrolysis function worked properly, the Hyllad oven should be correctly connected, but sometimes there are connection errors that you only notice after experiencing them.

The heating process should not take longer than 15 minutes. Are all heating modes affected?
Is the oven rack installed correctly? Is the core temperature sensor disconnected?

Page 30 only refers to the initial heating to burn off residues.

It sounds more like a device malfunction, so this would be a case for customer service.

Hello and thank you

Apparently, the stove and the cooker... were not connected correctly by the professional 🙄.
This will be fixed, and hopefully everything will work properly soon.

Thanks for the tips.

Good thing the problem was found in time. I would have been surprised if it had been caused by the oven itself. Our Hyllad oven heats up quite quickly, which is especially important now during the pre-Christmas season to bake cookies, cakes, or muffins in muffin cups. A stove breakdown would be a complete disaster for me.

The electrician is here right now, and the oven is preheating on the dining table for testing...

What annoyed me on the first day was that the stove tripped the circuit breaker as soon as it was switched on. That should now be fixed. What still bothers me about the stove, though, are the loud noises when, for example, 3 burners are running. It sounds like aliens exchanging radio waves or something... It’s induction and called Smaklig.

Induction cooktops operate using an electromagnetic field, so the humming noise is inherent to the principle. Since everyone’s hearing sensitivity varies, it bothers some people more than others. For me, it reminds me that I forgot to turn on the extractor hood—once I do, I don’t notice it anymore.

The second noise comes from the fans when they start up to blow hot air away from the cooktop.

The third noise is a kind of crackling or clicking sound caused when the pot bottoms do not sit completely flat, causing vibrations on the ceramic glass surface, or when the sandwich-type pot bases are not perfectly matched to the cooktop’s operating frequency.
