your oven. Check:
(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on

Timer Display
shows '0.00' with
"Auto" Flashing
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has now come back on
again. Reset the timer to the correct day and "Manual" operation using the instructions given
in the timer section of the book.
Main oven and Top
ovens do not work,
but the grill works

'Auto' is lit or flashing. If it is then please follow the instructions given in the Timer section of
this book to return the timer to Manual operation.

do not work, but
Main oven works.
Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a safety device to operate:

Switch the cooker back on and check that the Grill / Top oven is now operating.

operates
continually
