Something Wrong

with your Cooker

Before contacting your nearest Service Centre/Installer, check the problem guide below; there may be
nothing wrong with your cooker.

Problem

Slight odour or small amount of

smoke when using the cooker

for the first time.

This is normal and should cease after a short period.

Nothing Works

Is the main cooker wall switch turned on?

There may be no electricity supply.

Oven temperature seems too

high or too low.

Check that the temperature has been set in accordance with the temperature

charts. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended

temperature by up to 10°C to suit your taste.

Oven does not cook evenly.

Check that the temperature and shelf position are as recommended in the

temperature charts.

Check that the containers being used in the oven allow sufficient air flow around

them.

Check that the cooker is level.

Hotplates are slow to boil or will

not simmer

Check that your pans conform to the recommendations in these instructions.

Marks appearing on hotplates.

Can not clean hob / hotplates.

The hob surround can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a cream cleaner,

such as Cif. The sealed hotplates should be cleaned regularly, (please refer to

the Care and Cleaning section for further information. Please note that

replacement hob cleaning kits are available from our parts department, see Key

Contacts, back page.

Grill not working.

The grill door MUST be open.

Grill keeps turning on and off.

When the grill control is operated at a setting less than maximum, this is normal

regulator operation, 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 chicken etc. This is normal and any excess should be

wiped off.

Steam / Condensation in the

oven after use.

Steam is a by-product of cooking any food with a high water content. 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
