What is wrong and why?We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your
cooker before calling a Service Engineer.
Problem
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.
Check
If you cannot hear any sparking or if the sparking is slow when you
press the ignition button it may not be strong enough to light the
cooker. You will probably need to replace the battery. For
instructions on how to do this see page 30. You can light the
burners with a match until you have time to change the battery.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do
this by making sure that other gas appliances such as your central
heating or gas fire are working.
If only the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the burner
parts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 24.
Problem
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.
Check
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf
positions. See page 15. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or
down to achieve the results you want.
Problem
The oven is not cooking evenly.
Check
Check that the cooker is installed properly and is level.
Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf
positions.
Check that you are using the correct size baking trays.
If you are cooking a large item be prepared to turn it round during
cooking.
All food in the second oven should be turned round.
Problem
Having difficulty cleaning any part of the cooker.
Check
Check that you are following the instructions for care and cleaning
(see page 23).
