THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.

SOMETHING WRONG? 

Problem

Check

32

Slight odour or small
amount of smoke when
grill / oven used first 
time                    

This is normal and should cease after a short period.

Nothing Works

If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that
there is no electricity supply to your oven. Check:

(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut
(iii) The main circuit breaker for the property

Your timer may be set for an Auto Cooking programme:
Check the timer to see whether "Auto" is lit or flashing. If it is
then please follow the instructions given in the Timer section of
this book to return the timer to Manual operation.

Main oven does not work,
but the grill works

The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted,
but has now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct
day and "Manual" operation using the instructions given in the
timer section of the book.

Timer Display shows "0:00"
with "Auto" Flashing.

Check that the selector switch is set to ‘Full Grill’ or ‘Half Grill’, and
that the grill control is turned on.
Check that the door is in its grilling position.

Grill does not work

Check that the fan oven control is set to a temperature.
Check that the timer is set correctly.
Check that the oven door is fully closed.

Oven does not work

Draught from beneath
control panel

A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel
when the appliance is used. If the appliance is still warm, this
cooling fan may run on, or restart itself when all controls have
been turned off.
The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. 
This is normal and not a fault.

Oven temperatures too
high or low

Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in
the Oven Temperature Charts.
It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended
temperature slightly to suit your taste.

Oven does not cook evenly Check: 

(a) Temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the
Oven Temperature Charts.
(b) Oven utensils being used allow sufficient air flow around
them.
