If Something Goes Wrong?
Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists.
THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.
Slight odour or small amount of
smoke when grill / oven used for
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
Timer Display shows '0.00' with
"Auto" Flashing
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.
Main oven and Top ovens do not
work, but the grill works
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.
Top oven and grill do not work,
but Main oven works.
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.
Grill keeps turning on and off
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.
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 after all of the controls have been turned off. The fan will stop once the
appliance has been cooled. This is normal and no
t a fault.
Timer buzzer / audible tone
operates continually
To cancel the audible tone, press the minute minder button.
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
section on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp may be obtained from our Parts
department (see back page).
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 / Condensation in the oven
after use.
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.
