If something
goes wrong...
Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists.
THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.
Problem Check
Slight odour or
small amount of
smoke when grill /
oven used for first
time
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Nothing works
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
Top oven, grill and
main oven do not
work.
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 is now operating.
Grill keeps turning
on and 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.
Timer Display is
flashing '0.00 '
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has now come back on
again. Reset the timer to the correct day and "Manual" operation using the instructions given
in the timer section of the book.
Oven temperatures
too high or low
Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven Temperature
Charts.
It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended temperature slightly to suit
your taste.
Oven does not
cook evenly
Check:
(a) Temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven Temperature
Charts.
(b) Oven utensils being used allow sufficient air flow around them.
