Something Wrong with your Cooker?

(back cover).
Condensation on the wall at
the rear of the cooker.
Steam / Condensation in the
oven after use.
Marks appearing on
hotplates.
Can not clean hob /
hotplates.
Hotplates are slow to boil or
will not simmer Check that your pans conform to the recommendations in these
instructions.
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 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
The hob surround can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a
cream cleaner, such as Cif. The solid plates 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 Back Cover for contact number).
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.
Problem Check

of smoke when using the
cooker for the first time.
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Is the main cooker wall switch turned on?
There may be no electricity supply.
