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 for recommended cleaning
materials. We do not recommend Mr. Muscle, as it
contains chemicals that may damage the surfaces of
your cooker.
Grill not cooking properly
Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with the
cooker? Is the pan being used on the runners, not
the fl oor of the compartment? Is the grill pan pushed
fully back to stop?
When you pull the grill
pan forward is the wide
rim at the front? It's
important that the wider
part is at the front.
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 fi tting 100mA device. This work should
be carried out by a qualifi ed electrician.
Power failure
In the event of a failure in the electrical supply the
hotplate may be lit using a match.
Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may diff er from your previous
oven. Check that you are using the recommended
temperatures and shelf positions. See the oven
cooking guide. 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.
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a tin or baking tray larger than 340mm x
340mm.
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 cir cu late. When a 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 is adjusted so that the door is held fi rmly
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.
