SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
Please carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the
problem is a simple one which 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.

If you have checked the above:
Allow the appliance to cool for a couple of hours. The appliance
should now be working normally.

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.
