Hotplate ignition or hotplate burners faulty
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated?
If not, there maybe something wrong with the power supply.
Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots blocked by
debris? See (Fig. 7.1 and Fig. 7.2).
Are the burner trim and caps correctly located? See the
section on ‘Cleaning’.
Hotplate burners will not light
Make sure that the burner 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 control?
If not, verify that the power is on by checking that the clock is
illuminated.
Steam is coming from the oven
When cooking foods with 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 of steam when the oven door is opened.
Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
What cleaning materials are recommended for the
cooker?
See the ‘Cleaning’ section for recommended cleaning
materials.
n
Never use caustic or abrasive cleaners as these will
damage the surface.
An oven fan is noisy
The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up –
this is perfectly normal.
The knobs get hot when I use the oven. Can I avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven and heating
them up. Do not leave the oven door open.
The fascia gets hot when I use the oven
The cooker is cooled by a fan. If the fascia becomes
excessively hot when the cooker is in use then the cooling
fan may have failed. Should this occur please contact your
installer, a qualied repair engineer or Customer Service to
arrange for its repair.
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 is in your interest to track down your original installer.
Power failure
In the event of a failure in the electrical supply, remember to
reset the clock to make sure that the timed oven continues to
operate.
Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may dier from your previous oven.
Check that you are using the recommended temperatures,
shelf positions and tray sizes – see the oven cooking guide.
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.
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a baking tray with dimensions larger than those
specied 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 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
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?
