The grill in the oven is slow
- Have you selected the correct function?
- Check that you have selected the grill function and not the top element. See
page 30.
The main oven takes a long time to preheat
- Have you tried using the Fast preheat function?
- Pre-heat with the Fast preheat function until the temperature has been reached,
then switch to your required cooking function.
- ‘Fast preheat’ should not be operated for long time.
- To order spare parts or accessories, please call our service & spares department.
The fan continues after the oven is turned off
- The cooling fan will run on and off intermittently for approximately 30 minutes
after the oven is switched off to keep the controls cool, this is normal.
Condensation forms in the oven
- Have you pre-heated the oven?
- Condensation is less likely to form when the oven or grill is pre-heated before
use.
Smoke is generated in the oven
- Have you selected the right cooking temperature?
- Are you cooking high fat content foods? Do you rarely use the grill?
- Have you cooked fatty foods under the grill? Does the oven interior, stay clean
liners or roof tray need to be cleaned?
- Remember to reduce the oven temperature by 20°C if using a fan function with
a recipe designed for conventional cooking.
- Use high sided dishes to contain fats and splashes.
- Clean the oven interior if necessary.
- Remember to remove and clean the grill pan after use.
- Leave the grill on far a few minutes after grilling or roasting to burn off fatty
deposits from the oven roof.
- Oven surfaces should be cleaned regularly to prevent build-up of cooking
residues. See page 41.
The door seal has
split
or perished
- Are you leaving the grill pan or foil at the bottom of the oven?
- Have you used caustic oven cleaners on or near the door seal?
- Always remove the grill pan when not in use as it can restrict airflow around the
oven.
- Caustic cleaners should not be used near the door seal area. Contact our
service & spares department for advice and a replacement seal if necessary
USEFUL TIPS
Cookshop thermometers
- These are often slow to react and they should only
be
used as a guide. You
should also keep in mind that oven temperatures can fluctuate between 10% and 15%
during any cooking period. This is normal on any oven and is caused by the elements
'cycling' on and off.
Correct cooking time
- In most
cases,
the cooking times stated in recipes should be used. However, the
cooking period should be reduced for dishes that require very long cooking time (such
as rich fruit cakes). As a guide, reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes for each hour
after the first hour of cooking, or after three quarters of the way through the cooking
period This also applies to very large joints of meat or turkey where a meat
thermometer
is
recommended. Always check that the food is hot and cooked before
serving.
Using foil
- Foil can be used to cover food in the oven but this should not come into close
proximity with the oven elements. Foil should not be used to line the oven cavity
or grill pan This can cause overheating, buckling and cracking of the enamel
surfaces.
