Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may differ from your
previous oven. Check that you are using the
recommended temperatures and shelf positions.
See the ‘Oven cooking guide’ section of these
instructions. 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. Is the oven roof in?
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a tin or baking tray larger than
340mm x 305mm 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 more than one shelf is used, check that space
has been left for the heat to circulate. 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 not coming on when turned on manually
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated?
Is the key symbol ( ) showing in the display?
See the Clock section of the instructions for
more information on the key lock feature of the
clock.
If using the Multi-function oven have you set a
cooking function?
If not there may be something wrong with the
power supply. Is the cooker supply on at the
isolator switch?
Oven not coming on when automatic cooking
Timer set correctly but oven knob left OFF by
mistake?
Is the key symbol ( ) showing in the display?
See the Clock section of the instructions for
more information on the key lock feature of the
clock.
If using the Multi-function oven have you set a
cooking function?
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.
Grill not cooking properly
Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with
the cooker? Is the pan being used on the
runners, not the fl oor of the compartment? Is the
grill tray pushed fully back to stop?
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.
Open the oven door and remove the Handyrack
(if fi tted) and oven shelves.
Turn off the power supply.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning anticlockwise.
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.
Unscrew the old bulb and fi t the new one.
Hotplate ignition or hotplate burners faulty
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
If only one or all the hotplate burners will not
light, make sure that the 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?
