SOMETHING WRONG?
Problem

40
Slight odour or small
amount of smoke when
grill / oven used first
time
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Nothing Works
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
(iv) With the selector (B) turned, the oven light does not
illuminate.
Check to ensure the Timer is in Manual mode.
Check that the ‘Auto’ symbol is not lit up and is not flashing.
See Timer section for instructions on how to return the Timer to
Manual.
Oven and Grill do not work
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted,
but has now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct
day and "Manual" operation using the instructions given in the
timer section of the book.
Timer Display shows
"0:00" "Auto"
Check that the selector switch is set to ‘Full Grill’ or ‘Half Grill’, and
that the grill control is turned on.
Check that the door is in its grilling position.
Grill does not work
Check that the selector switch (B) is set and that the temperature
control (A) is set to the correct temperature.
Oven does not work
Draught from beneath
control panel
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 when all controls have
been turned off.
The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled.
This is normal and not a fault.
Grill keeps turning on and
off.
When the temperature control (C) is operating at less than 6, the
grill will cycle on and off, this is normal and is not a fault.
Cannot set an “Auto Cook”
programme
Remember: “Cook Period” is the actual length of time for which
the Timer will switch the oven on, as part of an “Auto Cook” pro-
gramme.
Operating the appliance under the following conditions may
cause a safety device to operate.
(a) Grilling with the door closed - always grill with the door
open.
(b) Grilling for excessively long period at maximum setting.
(c) Grilling with inadequate ventilation in the cabinet.
