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 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.
