Something Wrong with your Cooker?
Before contacting your nearest Service Centre/Installer, check the problem guide
below; there may be nothing wrong with your cooker.
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 (as applicable) is
now operating.
Ensure that the top oven control is turned fully 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.
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
using the instructions given in the timer section of the book.
To cancel the audible tone:
- press the manual button once.
This is normal and should cease after a short period.

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.
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.
Steam / Condensation in the
oven after use.
