Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may differ from your previous oven.
Adjust the settings according to your own individual
tastes.
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, ensure 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 turned on
manually
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not, there
may be something wrong with the power supply. Is the
cooker supply on at the isolator switch?
Has the time of day been set?
Is the key symbol (
) showing in the display to signify
that the oven is locked? See the
‘Clock’
section of the
instructions for more information on the key lock
feature.
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.
The Oven light is not working
The bulb has probably blown. You can buy a
replacement bulb (which is not covered under the
guarantee) from most electrical stores. Ask for an Edison
screw fitting 15W 240V lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be
a special bulb, heat resistant to 300°C. See the HELP
leaflet for spares by mail order.
Before removing the existing bulb, turn off the power
supply and ensure that the oven is cool. Open the oven
door and remove the oven shelves.
Locate the bulb cover and unscrew it by turning it
anticlockwise (it may be very stiff).
Now unscrew the existing bulb anticlockwise, taking
care to protect your fingers with a glove in case the bulb
should shatter.
Screw in the new bulb clockwise and then screw the
bulb cover back on. Turn on the electricity supply and
check that the bulb now lights.
