What is wrong and why?
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your
cooker before calling a Service Engineer.
Problem
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.
Check
l
If you cannot hear any sparking when you press the ignition button
there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First check the socket
by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it. If that works
renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows'
again there is a fault on the cooker. Do not use a fuse with a higher
rating than 3 amps. Do not carry out any other electrical work.
Unplug the cooker and tell your installer.
l Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do
this by making sure that other gas appliances such as your central
heating or gas fire are working.
l If only the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the burner
parts have been replaced properly. See instructions on page 21.
Problem
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.
Check
l
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf
positions. See page 14. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or
down to achieve the results you want.
Problem
The oven is not cooking evenly.
Check
l
Check that the cooker is installed properly and is level.
l
Check that the oven roof is pushed back into position.
l Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf
positions.
l
If you are using a tin or tray which is larger than the one we
recommend, be prepared to turn it round during cooking.
l
If you are cooking a large item be prepared to turn it round during
cooking.
