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.
The timed oven is not coming on when automatic cooking
Has the oven knob been left in the OFF position by
mistake?
Is the oven locked (see above)?
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.
An oven light is not working
The bulb has probably burnt out. You can buy a
replacement bulb (which is not covered under the
warranty) from a good electrical shop. Ask for a 15 W –
230 V lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat
resistant to 300 °C
(Fig.6.1)
.
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.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter-clockwise. It
may be very stiff
(Fig.6.2)
.
Taking care to protect your fingers with a glove in case
the bulb should shatter, unscrew the old bulb.
Screw in the new bulb; screw back the bulb cover. Turn
on the power supply 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.6.3)
. 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.6.4)
.
Retighten the hinge screws.
