What to do if . . .

. . . a process will not start

Check whether:

^The appliance door is closed prop- erly.

^The appliance is plugged into the mains supply.

^The mains fuse has blown (call a qualified electrician or the Service Department if it has. See "After Sales Service").

.. . a noise can be heard at the end of cooking

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 the m button twice).

^The display has been programmed to switch off at night time.

.. . the turntable does not turn smoothly

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

^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 time

^Check whether the correct power set- ting was selected for the time set.

The lower the power setting the lon- ger the time required.

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

.. . strange noises are heard when the microwave oven is being used

Check whether,

^The food is covered with aluminium foil.

If so, remove it.
