Troubleshooting
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 puff
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 for recommended
cleaning materials. We do not recommend Mr.
Muscle, as it contains chemicals which may
damage the surfaces of your cooker.
The knobs get hot when I use the ovens, can I
avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven
and heating them up. Don’t leave the oven door
open.
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.
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 differ from your previous
oven. Check that you are using the recommended
temperatures and shelf positions. See the ‘Oven
Cooking’ section of the instructions. 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
340 mm x 340 mm.
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 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?
Has the time of day been set?
If using the Multi-function oven have you set a
cooking function?
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.
Oven not coming on when automatic cooking
Timer set correctly but oven knob left OFF by
mistake?
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.
If using the Multi-function oven have you set a
cooking function?
Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker
gets older
If turning the knob down has not worked or only
worked for a short time then you may need a new
thermostat. This should be fi tted by a service
person.
