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.
Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may di
ff
er from your previous
oven. Check that you are using the recommended
temperatures and shelf positions. See the ‘Oven
cooking guide’ section. 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 in the main oven or 230mm x 320mm in
the Tall oven.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn
it round during cooking.
If more than one shelf is used, check that space has
been left for the heat to circulate. 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.
Oven 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? Is the clock fl ashing 0.00? If so set it to the
correct time of day. Has the Timer been set to AUTO
by mistake? If AUTO is showing on the clock display,
press the ‘cook period’ button and reduce any set
cooking time showing to 0.00, with the (+) and (-)
buttons. Press the button twice. If this does not
solve the problem contact a service person.
Is the key symbol ( ) showing in the display? See
the Clock section of the instructions for more
information on the key lock feature of the clock.
Troubleshooting
Hotplate ignition or hotplate burners faulty
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not
there maybe something wrong with the power
supply.
See ‘power supply’ section further on.
Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots
blocked by debris? Is the burner trim correctly
located? Are the burner caps correctly located?
See the section entitled ‘Cleaning’
Hotplate burners will not light
If only one or all the hotplate burners will not
light, make sure that the parts have been replaced
correctly after wiping or removing for cleaning.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas
supply. You can do this by making sure that other
gas appliances you may have are working.
Do the burners spark when you push the button? If
not check the power is on - is the clock illuminated?
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 pu
ff
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 of the Easy Guide for a full
list of recommended cleaning materials. We do not
recommend Mr. Muscle, as it contains chemicals
that may damage the surfaces of your cooker.
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.
