If something goes wrong...
Slight odour or small
amount of smoke when grill
/ oven used 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
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. Timer Display shows "0:00"
with "Auto" Flashing
Your timer may be set for an Auto Cooking programme:
Check the timer to see whether "Auto" is lit or flashing. If it is then
please follow the instructions given in the Timer section of this
book to return the timer to Manual operation. Main oven and Top ovens
do not work, but the grill
works
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. Top oven and grill do not
work, but Main oven works.
Ensure that the top oven control is set to the Full or Half grill
position and set the grill control to the required setting. Grill does not work
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 buzzer / bleeper
operates continually The bleeper will stop automatically after several minutes. To
cancel, press the minute minder button to silence.
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.
