Using your Range

The oven is not cooking evenly

Do not use a tin or tray larger than 11 3/8” x 13”. If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking.

If two racks are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking sheet is put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the rack.

Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held fi rmly against the seal.

A dish of water when placed on the rack should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the range should be raised up or the front lowered). If the range is not level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Oven not coming on when turned on manually Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated?

If not there may be something wrong with the power supply. Is the range supply on at the isolator switch?

Has the time of day been set?

If using the Multi-function oven have you set a cooking function?

Is the key symbol () showing in the display? See the Clock section of the instructions for more information on the key lock feature of the clock.

Oven not coming on when automatic cooking Timer set correctly but oven knob left OFF by mistake?

Is the key symbol () showing in the display? See the Clock section of the instructions for more information on the key lock feature of the clock.

If using the Multi-function oven have you set a cooking function?

Oven temperature getting hotter as the range gets older

If turning the knob down has not worked or only worked for a short time then you may need

a new thermostat. This should be fi tted by a service person.

Broiler not cooking properly

Are you using the pan and grid supplied with the range? Is the pan being used on the runners, not the fl oor of the compartment? Is the broiler tray pushed fully back to stop?

The oven light is not working

The bulb has probably burnt out. You can buy a replacement bulb (which is not covered under the guarantee) from a good electrical shop. Ask for a 15w 125-130v lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300°C (570°F).

Make sure the oven is cool. Open the oven door and remove the Handyrack (if fi tted) and oven racks.

Turn off the power supply.

Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter clockwise. Unscrew the old bulb. Screw in the new bulb, screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the electricity supply and check that the bulb now lights.

Cooktop ignition or cooktop burners faulty Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not there maybe something wrong with the power supply.

See ‘power supply’ section further on.

Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots blocked by debris?

Is the burner trim correctly located? Are the burner caps correctly located? See the section entitled ‘Cleaning’

Remember that each cooktop burner has a special safety device that stops the fl ow of gas if the fl ame goes out. When lighting a cooktop burner the safety device has to be overridden by holding the control knob so that the gas can

ow. This allows the fl ame sensor to heat up and operate the safety device. Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark and light the gas.

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to the off position and wait one minute, then try again this time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.

Cooktop burners will not light

If only one or all the cooktop burners will not light, make sure that the parts have been replaced correctly after wiping or removing for cleaning.

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.

Do the burners spark when you push the button? If not check the power is on - is the clock illuminated?
