Something Wrong
with your Cooker?
Problem
Check
Oven lamp does
not work
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. The part is easily changed (see the sec-
tion on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp may be obtained from our Parts department
see Key Contacts, back page.
Draught from
beneath control
panel
A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when the appliance is
used. If the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may run on, or restart itself when all
controls have been turned off. The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. This
is normal and not a fault.
Condensation
on the wall at
the rear of the
cooker.
Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of the appliance when
using an oven particularly for foods with a high water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chic-
ken etc. This is normal, and any excess should be wiped off.
Steam / Conden-
sation in the oven
after use.
Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact. To help minimise
always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.
If you have been through the above list and there is still a problem; Contact Service, see Key Contacts (back
cover).
Disposal of your product
To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of
your product carefully and safely. Remove all doors and
lids. Remove the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting
off flush with the appliance and always ensure that no
plug is left in a condition where it could be connected to
the electricity supply.
To help the environment, Local Authority instructions
should be followed for the disposal of your product.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed
of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment.
The crossed out „wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
