THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.

Check
If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that there is no electricity
supply to your oven. Check:
(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut
(iii) The main circuit breaker for the property
Slight odour or small amount
of smoke when grill / oven
used first time
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has now come
back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time of day and “Manual” operation
using instructions given in the timer section of the book.
Your timer may be set for an Auto Cooking programme:
Check the timer to see whether "Auto" is lit or flashing. If it is then please follow the
instructions given in the Timer section of this book to return the timer to Manual
operation.
Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a safety device to
operate:
(a) Grilling with the door closed - Always grill with the door fully open
(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting - see Grilling guide.
Switch off appliance and allow to cool for approx 30 mins. Switch the cooker back on
and check that the Grill / Top oven is now operating.
Check that you have selected:- “Grill” function on the “Top Oven / Grill Select” knob (B)
and
a Grill setting on the “Grill” knob (A) - see grilling page.
When the Grill control is operating at less than its maximum setting, the Grill will cycle
on and off, this is normal and not
a fault.
Remember: "Cook Period" is the actual length of time for which, the timer will switch
the main oven on as part of an "Auto Cooking" programme.
A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when the appliance
is used. If the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may run on, or restart itself after
all of the controls have been turned off.
The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. This is normal and not a fault.
Buzzer/Bleeper should stop automatically after 2 minutes. If not, press minute minder
button to silence.
Grilling is uneven
Ensure that Grill pan has been positioned as stated in the Grilling section of this book.
Oven does not cook evenly
Check: (a) Temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven
Temperature Charts.
(b) Oven utensils being used allow sufficient air flow around them.
Oven temperatures too
high or low
Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven Temperature
Charts.
It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended temperature slightly to
suit your taste.
Oven lamp does not work
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee.
The part is easily changed (see the section on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp
may be obtained from our Parts department (see Back Cover).
If you have been through the above list and there is still a problem, contact your nearest Service Office
(see back cover).
Condensation on the wall at
the rear of the cooker.
Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of the appliance
when using an oven particularly for foods with a high water content e.g. frozen chips,
roast chicken etc. This is normal, and any excess should be wiped off.
Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact.
To help minimise always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.
