. . . a noise can be heard after a cooking programme.

This is not a fault.

The cooling fan will continue to run for a while after the oven has been switched off to dispel any moisture from the oven and prevent it settling on the control panel or surrounding furniture.

It will switch off automatically.

. . . the display does not light up.

Check whether,

^the time of day display has been switched off (press and hold the m button for a few seconds).

^the time of day display has been programmed to switch off at night.

. . . the turntable does not turn smoothly.

^Check whether the area underneath the roller ring is clean.

^Check whether the surfaces between the turntable and the carrier are clean.

Remove any soiling.

. . . food is not adequately defrosted, heated or cooked at the end of the selected cooking duration.

^Check whether the correct power level was selected for the duration set.

The lower the power level, the longer the duration required.

^Check whether the programme has been interrupted and not restarted.
