What is wrong and why?
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your
appliance before calling a Service Engineer.
Problem
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.
Check
If you cannot hear any sparking or the sparking is slow when you
press the ignition button it may not be strong enough to light the
appliance. You will probably need to replace the battery. For
instructions on how to do this see page 28. You can light the burners
with a match until you have time to change the battery.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do
this by making sure that other gas appliances such as your central
heating or gas fire are working.
If only the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the burner
parts have been replaced properly. See instructions on page 21.
Problem
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.
Check
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf
positions. See page 14. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or
down to achieve the results you want.
Problem
The oven is not cooking evenly.
Check
Check that the appliance is installed properly and is level.
Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf
positions.
If you are cooking a large item be prepared to turn it round during
cooking.
Problem
Having difficulty cleaning any part of the appliance.
Check
Check that you are following the instructions for care and cleaning
(see page 20).
