Timer buzzer/audible tone operates
continually
Check
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 not a fault.
To cancel the audible tone, press the minute minder button.
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
Slight odour or small amount of smoke
when grill / oven used first time.
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but
has now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time of
day and “Manual” operation using instructions given in the timer
section of the book.
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.
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.
Ensure that the Top Oven control is in the OFF (O) position.
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.
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).

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 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.
