OPERATION
USING YOUR OVEN (CONTINUED)
Electronic burner control
Your gas oven is fitted with an electronic controller which
manages the operation of the burner and monitors the
flame. This controller includes features which ensure the
safe operation of your appliance and will prevent the build
up of unburnt gas should a fault occur.
It is normal for the flame to turn on and off during
cooking to maintain a stable temperature in the oven.
The thermostat indicator light indicates when the flame
is on or igniting (indicator on), or when the flame is off
(indicator off).
The burner flame can be seen by viewing through the
2 holes in the front of the burner cover.
Ignition and response to ignition failure
The electronic controller attempts to ignite the flame
when an oven function and temperature is selected (the
thermostat indicator light changes from off to on). The
controller makes up to 2 attempts to ignite the flame,
stopping if a flame is detected by the controller. If a flame
is not detected after 2 attempts the burner and ignition
are automatically switched off and a 90 second delay will
occur. During this delay the controller does not respond
to the “function” and “temperature” controls.
At the end of this delay, switch the
or
control off and leave off for at least 5
seconds. Then switch the
and
control on again to re-attempt ignition.
If the oven controls are left on when the delay ends
then ignition is not attempted until the
or
control is first turned off for at least
5 seconds.
Response to flame failure
If the controller cannot detect flame due to a fault, then the
controller will firstly respond by attempting to re-light the
burner with a sequence of up to 3 attempts. If the re-lighting
sequence is not successful the burner will be shut off.
The re-lighting sequence includes up to 3 attempts to
re-light the burner, stopping if a flame is detected by the
controller. If a flame is not detected after the re-lighting
sequence the burner and ignition are automatically
switched off and a delay of 90 seconds will occur. During
this delay the controller will not respond to the “function”
and “temperature” controls.
At the end of this delay, switch the
or
control off and leave it off for at least 5
seconds. Then switch the
or
control on again to re-attempt ignition.
If the oven controls are left on when the delay ends
then ignition will not be attempted until the
or
control is turned off for at least 5 seconds.
Recognising a safety shut-down condition
During normal cooking the thermostat indicator light
is on when the burner flame is igniting or on, and the
thermostat indicator light is off when the flame is off.
If an oven function and temperature is selected and the
thermostat indicator light is on, but the flame is not on
or attempting to ignite, then the controller has invoked a
safety shutdown of the burner and a 90 second delay will
occur. During this delay the controller does not respond
to the “function” and “temperature” controls.
At the end of this delay, switch the
or
control off and leave off for at least 5
seconds. Then switch the
or
control on again to re-attempt ignition.
Power failure
In the event of an interruption to mains power, the
restoration of power will not cause the burner to re-ignite
if the controls were left on. However the grill element will
resume heating on models which do not have an
electronic clock.
To resume operation of the appliance after the power has
been restored:
1. If the appliance has an electronic clock then set the
time of day on the electronic clock.
2.
Switch the
or
control off and
leave off for at least 5 seconds. Then switch the
and
control on again to
re-attempt ignition.
Normal operation of the appliance will now resume.
