What is wrong and why?
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your
cooker before calling a Service Engineer.
Problem
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.
Check
If only the hotplate burners will not light make sure that the burner
parts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 23.
If you cannot hear any sparking when you press the ignition button
there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First check the socket
by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it. If that works,
renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows'
again there is a fault on the cooker. Do not use a fuse with a rating
higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug
the cooker and tell your installer. If the cooker will not light because
there is an electrical power failure such as a power cut, burners may
be lit with a match.
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.
Problem
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.
Check
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf
positions. See pages 14 - 16. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up
or down to get the results you want.
Problem
The oven is not cooking evenly.
Check
Check that the cooker is installed properly and is level.
Check that you are using the recommended size baking trays. See
page 12.
Check that the main oven roof is pushed back into position.
If you are using a tin which is larger than the one we supplied, be
prepared to turn it round during cooking.
If you are cooking a large item be prepared to turn it round during
cooking.
