Using your Range
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a tin or tray larger than 11
3
/
8
” x 13”.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to
turn it round during cooking.
If two racks are used, check that space has
been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking
sheet is put into the oven, make sure it is placed
centrally on the rack.
Check that the door seal is not damaged and
that the door catch is adjusted so that the door
is held fi rmly against the seal.
A dish of water when placed on the rack should
be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is
deeper at the back, then the back of the range
should be raised up or the front lowered). If the
range is not level arrange for your supplier to
level it for you.
Oven not coming on when turned on manually
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated?
If not there may be something wrong with the
power supply. Is the range supply on at the
isolator switch?
Has the time of day been set?
If using the Multi-function oven have you set a
cooking function?
Is the key symbol (

See the Clock section of the instructions for
more information on the key lock feature of the
clock.
Oven not coming on when automatic cooking
Timer set correctly but oven knob left OFF by
mistake?
Is the key symbol (
) showing in the display?
See the Clock section of the instructions for
more information on the key lock feature of the
clock.
If using the Multi-function oven have you set a

Oven temperature getting hotter as the range
gets older
If turning the knob down has not worked or only
worked for a short time then you may need
a new thermostat. This should be fi tted by a
service person.
Broiler not cooking properly
Are you using the pan and grid supplied with the
range? Is the pan being used on the runners,
not the fl oor of the compartment? Is the broiler
tray pushed fully back to stop?
The oven light is not working
The bulb has probably burnt out. You can buy a
replacement bulb (which is not covered under
the guarantee) from a good electrical shop.
Ask for a 15w 125-130v lamp, FOR OVENS. It
must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300°C
(570°F).
Make sure the oven is cool. Open the oven door
and remove the Handyrack (if fi tted) and oven
racks.
Turn off the power supply.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter
clockwise. Unscrew the old bulb. Screw in the
new bulb, screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the
electricity supply and check that the bulb now
lights.
Cooktop ignition or cooktop burners faulty
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not
there maybe something wrong with the power
supply.
See ‘power supply’ section further on.
Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner
slots blocked by debris?
Is the burner trim correctly located?
Are the burner caps correctly located?
See the section entitled ‘Cleaning’
Remember that each cooktop burner has a
special safety device that stops the fl ow of gas
if the fl ame goes out. When lighting a cooktop
burner the safety device has to be overridden
by holding the control knob so that the gas can
ow. This allows the fl ame sensor to heat up and
operate the safety device. Keep holding the knob
pressed in to let the gas through to the burner
for few seconds. The igniter should spark and
light the gas.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the
burner goes out, the safety device has not held
in. Turn the control to the off position and wait
one minute, then try again this time holding in
the control knob for slightly longer.
Cooktop burners will not light
If only one or all the cooktop burners will not
light, make sure that the parts have been
replaced correctly after wiping or removing for
cleaning.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas
supply. You can do this by making sure that other
gas appliances you may have are working.
Do the burners spark when you push the
button? If not check the power is on - is the clock
illuminated?
