Power failure
In the event of a failure in the electrical supply the
hotplate may be lit using a match.
Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may diff er from your previous
oven. Check that you are using the recommended
temperatures and shelf positions. See the oven
cooking guide. The oven control settings and cooking
times are intended to be used only as a guide.
Individual tastes may require the temperature to be
altered either way, to get the results you want. Try
cooking at a higher temperature setting.
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a tin or baking tray larger than 340mm x
340mm in the Main oven or 232mm x 321mm in the
Tall oven.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it
round during cooking.
If two shelves are used, check that space has been
left for the heat to cir cu late. When a baking tray is put
into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the
shelf.
Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the
door catch is adjusted so that the door is held fi rmly
against the seal.
A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be
the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper
at the back, then the back of the cooker should be
raised up or the front lowered). If the cooker is not
level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets
older
If turning the knob down has not worked or only
worked for a short time then you may need a new
thermostat. This should be fi tted by a service person.
The oven light is not working
The bulb has probably blown. You can buy a
replacement bulb (which is not covered under the
guarantee) from a good electrical shop. Ask for an
Edison screw fi tting 15w 240v lamp, FOR OVENS. It
must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300 °C. See
the HELP leafl et for spares by mail order.
Turn off the power supply.
Make sure the oven is cool. Open the oven door and
remove the oven shelves.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning anticlockwise. It
may be very stiff .
Taking care to protect your fi ngers in case the bulb
should shatter, unscrew the old bulb.
Screw in the new bulb, screw back the bulb cover.
Turn on the electricity supply and check that the bulb
now lights.

Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not there
maybe something wrong with the power supply.
See ‘power supply’ section further on.
Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots
blocked by debris?
Is the burner trim correctly located?
Are the burner caps correctly located?
See the section entitled ‘Cleaning’
Hotplate burners will not light
Make sure that the burner parts have been replaced
correctly after wiping or removing for cleaning.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas
supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas
appliances you may have are working.
Do the burners spark when you push the button? If
not check the power is on - is the clock illuminated?
