PROBLEM
Before contacting your Service Centre or Installer, check the problem guide
below, there may be nothing wrong with your cooker.
CHECK
Ignition does not work.
Slight odour or small
amount of smoke when
grill/oven used for first
time.
Oven cooks too fast or
too slow.
This is normal and should cease after a short
period.
Check that the oven setting and shelf positions
are as recommended in the Cooking Charts.
However, it may be necessary to increase or
decrease the recommended setting slightly to
suit your taste.
If all burners f
ail to ignite:
Check that sparks appear at the burners; a
clicking noise should be heard.
If not:
(i) Check that the electricity supply is turned
on.
(ii) Check other appliances to see if you have
had a power cut.
If only one burner f
ails to ignite:
(i) Check the burner cap is seated correctly.
(ii) Check the slots in the burner bodies are
not blocked with any soap residue or
cooking soil (see care and cleaning).
(iii) Check, if the burners have recently been
cleaned using a wire wool pad eg. ‘Brillo
Pad’, ensure that no stray strands are
caught on the ignitor or burner body.
NOTE. Satisfactory ignition will only be achieved if
all the hotplate burners are fitted.
In the event of an electricity failure, all burners
can be lit with a match.
