Troubleshooting
Steam is coming from the oven
When cooking foods with a high water content (e.g. oven chips) there may be some
steam visible at the rear grille. Take care when opening the oven door as there may be a
momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.
The oven fan is noisy
The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up - this is perfectly normal.
What cleaning materials are recommended for the cooker?
See the ‘Cleaning’ section of the Easy Guide for a full list of recommended cleaning
materials. We do not recommend Mr. Muscle, as it contains chemicals that may damage
the surfaces of your cooker.
The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the grill, can I avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. Don’t
leave the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan is pushed right back to the ‘back
stop’ when grilling.
If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays?
You do. Service organisations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work
carried out by your original installer. It’s in your interest to track down your original
installer.
Current Operated Earth Leakage Breakers
Where the cooker installation is protected by a 30 milliamp sensitivity residual current
device (RCD), the combined use of your cooker and other domestic appliances may
occasionally cause nuisance tripping. In these instances the cooker circuit may need to
be protected by fitting 100mA device. This work should be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may differ from your previous oven. Check that you are using the
recommended temperatures and shelf positions. See page 12. The oven control settings
and cooking times are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require
the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want. Try cooking at a
higher temperature setting. Is the oven roof in? Is it the right way round? Is it pushed
fully back? Is it resting on the liners?
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a tin or tray larger than the baking tray we supply (320mm x 305mm).
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
the baking tray is put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the shelf.
Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch adjusted so that the
door is held firmly against the seal.
NB the seal is intended to have a gap at the bottom of the door
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.
