SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
We recommend that your appliance has an annual gas safety check carried out by our approved service 
organisation. 
Please carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the 
problem is a simple one that you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call. 
In-guarantee customers should make sure that the checks have been made as the engineer will make a 
charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown. 
Please note that proof of purchase is required for in-guarantee service calls.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Check that the appliance has been wired in to the appliance supply 
and is switched on at the wall. 
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. 
You can do this by making sure the other gas appliances such as 
central heating or gas fires are working. 
Check that the main appliance fuse is working. 
The grill, ovens and timer do not work. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you have checked the above: 
Allow the appliance to cool for a couple of hours. The appliance 
should now be working normally. 
The grill and second oven work but the 
main oven does not. 
Check that the time of day has been set on the clock. Check that the 
oven is set for manual cooking. 
The timer does not work.
Check that the instructions for the operation of the timer are being 
closely followed. 
The cooling fan does not work.
Check that there is not a problem with your electricity supply.
Check that the appliance is correctly installed and is level.
The oven is not cooking evenly.
 
 
Check that the recommended temperatures and shelf positions are 
being used. 
The oven light bulb may need replacing.
The oven light fails to illuminate. 
 
 
If the Main Oven is set for automatic cooking the light will illuminate 
when the cook time begins. 
The oven temperature is too high or too 
low. 
Check that the recommended temperatures and shelf positions are 
being used. Be prepared to adjust the temperature up or down 
slightly to achieve the results you want. 
Refer to the Main Oven section.
Ensure the burner parts have been placed correctly.
The hob burners will not light.
 
 
 
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. 
You can do this by making sure the other gas appliances such as 
central heating or gas fires are working. 
The flame colour is orange/yellow.
Due to the design of the burner the flame can appear to be orange 
/yellow (flame disturbance) in certain areas of the burner this is a 
natural occurrence. 
The burner is not igniting or only 
partially lighting. 
Check that the burner is dry and that food spillage or cleaning fluids 
are not present on the burner. This can be dried with a cloth and 
stubborn marks cleaned away with a dry nylon brush (old toothbrush 
etc). 
The burner sounds noisy.
It is natural for the burners to emit noise as the gas is being drawn 
through the burner and may reduce as they heat up. 
The burner is emitting a popping sound.
This is a natural occurrence when the burner is alight and does not 
affect the performance of the burner. 
Noise.
It is normal for some metal parts on the cooker to produce noise 
when in use, this is due to expansion and contraction when heating 
up and cooling down.
