THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.
Problem
Check
Slight odour or small
amount of smoke when
grill / oven used first
time This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Oven cooks too fast or too
slow Check that the gas mark and shelf positions are as
recommended in the Oven Cooking Charts. However, it may
be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended
setting slightly to suit your taste.
If all burners fail to ignite:
Check that sparks appear at the burners; a clicking noise
should be heard.
If not:
Model X156G:
Check the battery, or fit a known good battery to the
product. Batteries are not covered by the guarantee.
The battery is easily changed - see the section on battery
replacement (an “AA” size alkaline battery should be used).
Model 5TCG:
Check that the electricity supply is turned on.
If the electricity supply has failed, the hotplate, grill and top
oven burners can be lit by a match.
If only one burner fails to ignite:
Check that the burner is dry and that spillage of food or
cleaning fluid remains are not affecting the ignitor or
burner ports.
Clean away any debris with a dry nylon brush such as an old
toothbrush. If a wire wool pad has been used for cleaning
around the burner ensure the ignitor is free from any stray
strands. Any water on the burner should be dried with a
cloth or kitchen towel.
On hotplate burners make sure that all the burner parts are
correctly seated on the burners.
