ArtNo.324-0005 Oven light bulb
The oven light is not working
The bulb has probably blown. You can buy a replacement
bulb (which is not covered under the guarantee) from most
electrical stores.
Depending on your bulb type, ask for an Edison screw fitting
15 W 230 V lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat
resistant to 300 °C (
Fig. 7.1
). Or a 40 W - 230 V halogen lamp
(G9) (
Fig. 7.2
).
Before removing the existing bulb, turn off the power supply
and make sure that the oven is cool. Open the oven door and
remove the oven shelves.
Locate the bulb cover and unscrew it by turning it counter-
clockwise – it may be very stiff (
Fig. 8.3
).
Depending on the bulb type:
Unscrew the old bulb and replace with the new one.
OR
Pull the existing bulb to remove it. When handling the
replacement bulb, avoid touching the glass with your fingers,
as oils from your hands can cause premature failure. Push,
click in the replacement bulb.
Screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the circuit breaker and
check that the bulb now lights.
The oven door is misaligned
The bottom hinge of either oven door can be adjusted to
alter the angle of the door (
Fig. 7.4
). Loosen the bottom
hinge fixing screws and use the notch and a flat bladed
screwdriver to move the position of the hinge to set the
hinge position (
Fig. 7.5
).
Retighten the hinge screws.
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a baking tray with dimensions larger than those
specified in the section on ‘General Oven Tips’.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round
during cooking.
If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for
the heat to circulate. When a baking tray is put into the oven,
make sure that it is placed centrally on the shelf.
Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door
catch is adjusted so that the door is held firmly against the
seal.
A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the
same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back,
then the back of the cooker should be raised up or the front
lowered.) If the cooker is not level, arrange for your supplier
to level it for you.
Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older
If turning the temperature down using the oven control knob
has not worked, or has only worked for a short time, then you
may need a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a service
person.
