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 grill / oven used for
first time

This is normal and should cease after a short period.

Nothing works

If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that there is no
electricity supply to your oven. Check:
(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut
(iii) The main circuit breaker for the property

Grill / Top Oven do not work.
Main oven works

(a) Grilling with the door closed - Always grill with the door fully open
(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting - see Grilling
guide. Switch off appliance and allow to cool for approx 30 mins.
Switch the cooker back on and check that the Grill / Top oven (as applicable)
is now operating.

Oven temperatures too high or
low

Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven

Temperature Charts.

It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended temperature

slightly to suit your taste.

Oven lamp does not work

The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. The part is easily changed

(see the section on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp may be obtained

from our Parts department, see Key Contacts, back page.

Grill does not work

Ensure that the top oven control is turned fully off.

Grill keeps turning on and off

When the Grill control is operating at less than its maximum setting, the Grill
will cycle on and off, this is normal and not a fault.

Timer is showing '0.00' (models

KD6C35and KDP60 only)

The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has now

come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time of day using the
instructions given in the timer section of the book.

Timer bleeper operates

continually (models KD6C35and
KDP60 only)

To cancel the bleeper sound: - press the '+' button once.

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 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 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.
