Before contacting your Service Centre or Installer, check the problem guide below,
there may be nothing wrong with your cooker.
PROBLEM CHECK
Burner will not light:
Burner ports Ignitor
Hotplate burner
If all burners fail to ignite:
Check that sparks appear at the burners; a clicking
noise should be heard.
If not;
Check that the electricity supply is turned on.
If the electricity supply has failed, the hotplate burners
can be lit by a match.
If only one burner fails to ignite:
Check that the burner is dry and that spillage of food
or cleaning fluid remains are not affecting the ignitor
or burner ports.
Clean away any debris with a dry nylon brush such as an
old toothbrush. If a wire wool pad has been used for
cleaning around the burner ensure the ignitor is free
from any stray strands. Any water on the burner
should be dried with a cloth or kitchen towel.
On the hotplate make sure that all the burner parts
are correctly seated.
Top oven, grill and main
oven do not work.
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
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 and Main Oven are now operating.
Slight odour or small
amount of smoke when grill
/ oven used first time
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Grill keeps turning
on and off.
When the Grill control is operated, the Grill will cycle on
and off, this is normal and not
a fault.
