What is wrong and why?
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your
cooker before calling a Service Engineer.
Problem
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.
Check
l
If only the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the burner
parts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 24.
l
If you cannot hear any sparking when you press the ignition button
there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First check the socket
by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it. If that works,
renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows'
again there is a fault on the cooker. Do not use a fuse with a rating
higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug
the cooker and tell your installer. If the cooker will not light because
there is an electrical power failure such as a power cut you cannot
use the main oven. All other burners may be lit with a match.
l
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do
this by making sure that other gas appliances such as your central
heating or gas fire are working.
Problem
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.
Check
l
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf
positions. See pages 15 - 20. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark
up or down to achieve the results you want.
Problem
The oven light will not work.
Check
l
If the light does not work you probably need to replace the bulb. To
do this see instructions on page 31.
l
Check there is not a fault with the electrical supply. Check this by
pressing the ignition button. If you cannot hear sparking there is
probably a fault.
l
First, check the socket by trying out another electrical appliance in it,
if that works renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse
'blows' again this indicates that there is a fault on the cooker. Do not
use a fuse with a higher rating than 3 amps. Do not carry out further
electrical work. Unplug the cooker and inform your installer.
