Problem Check
Grilling
Uneven cooking front
to back
Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below
the grill element.
Fat splattering Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a temperature.
Oven Baking
Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit
level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable
packing e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should
be checked both left to right and front to back. Ensure that the
food is positioned centrally in the oven.
Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Preheat of fan ovens.
2. Cooking at too high a temperature.
3. Using normal creaming method with soft margarine.
Over/Under cooking
Fast/Slow cooking Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in
the oven temperature charts, however, it may be necessary to
increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC to suit
personal taste. Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2
1 /
4
") in
height, for roasting.

Cooking Results Not Satisfactory?
Nothing Works Is the main cooker wall switch turned on?
There may be no electricity supply.
Grill does not work. Main
oven works. Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a
safety cut-out to operate:
a) grilling with the top oven door shut.
b) grilling for excessive long periods at maximum settings.
Switch off the appliance and allow the cooker to cool for
approx. 30 minutes. Switch the cooker back on again and
check that the grill is now operating correctly.
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.
