Something Wrong with your Cooker?

If you have been through the above list and there is still a problem; Contact Service see

Key Contacts (back cover).

Condensation on the wall at
the rear of the cooker.

Steam / Condensation in the
oven after use.

Marks appearing on 
hotplates.
Can not clean hob / 
hotplates.

Hotplates are slow to boil or
will not simmer

Check that your pans conform to the recommendations in these
instructions.

Grill not working.

Steam and/or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear
of the appliance when using an oven particularly for foods with a
high water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is
normal and any excess should be wiped off.

Steam is a by-product of cooking any food with a high water
content. To help minimise always: 
a)  Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to  cool after being 

cooked.

b)  Use a covered container, wherever possible

The hob surround can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a
cream cleaner, such as Cif. The sealed hotplates should be
cleaned regularly (Please refer to the Care and Cleaning section
for further information.
Please note that replacement hob cleaning kits are available
from our parts department (see Back Cover for contact number).

Grill will not work unless the Top oven control is in the OFF 
position.

Top oven and grill do 
not work. 
Main oven works.

Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause
a safety cut-out to operate:
a) grilling with the top oven door shut;
b) grilling for excessive long periods at maximum settings.
Switch off the appliance and allow the cooker to cool for approx.
30 minutes. Switch the cooker back on again and check that the
grill/top oven is now operating correctly.

Grill  keeps  turning  on  and
off.

When  the  grill  control  is  operated  at  a  setting  less  than  maxi-
mum, this is normal regulator operation, 

not

a fault.

Problem

Check

Slight odour or small

amount of smoke when

using the cooker for the

first time.

This is normal and should cease after a short period.

Is the main cooker wall switch turned on?

There may be no electricity supply.

Nothing Works

Oven temperature seems

too high or too low.

Check that the temperature has been set in accordance with the

temperature charts. It may be necessary to increase or decrease

the recommended temperature by up to 10

o

C to suit your taste.

Check that the temperature and shelf position are as 

recommended in the temperature charts.

Check that the containers being used in the oven allow

sufficient air flow around them.

Check that the cooker is level.

Oven does not cook evenly.

This is normal and 

not

a fault. The cooling fan will stop when the

cooker has cooled.

Cooling fan continues 
running after all controls 
are turned off
