Correcting minor faults

^Put the lamp cover firmly back into place.

.. . there is a distinctive smell of food when using the oven

Make sure the catalyser is switched on. See "Altering oven settings, setting 02"

.. . no noise is heard when the oven door is opened during operation.

This is not a fault.

If the door is opened during operation, the door contact switch causes the oven heating, and the fan if on "Fan" setting, to be switched off.

.. . a noise can be heard after baking, roasting or grilling.

This is not a fault.

The cooling fan continues to run for a while after the oven has been switched off to prevent any humidity building up in the oven, on the control panel or in the oven housing unit. When the tem- perature has fallen sufficiently the fan switches off automatically.

The temperature will fall faster when the oven door is opened partially or fully.

.. . cakes and biscuits are not cooked after following the times given in the chart.

Check whether,

^the correct temperature was set.

^there has been a change to the rec- ipe. The addition of more liquid or more eggs makes a moister mix which would need longer to cook.

^the roasting filter had been left in place in front of the fan when cooking with "Fan heat D" or "Intensive Bake F" or was in place for "Auto Roast E". In this case baking times might be lengthened by 10 to 15 minutes.

.. . cakes or biscuits are unevenly browned.

There will always be a slight uneven- ness. Product information sheets give a percentage result for standard brown- ing tests. These refer to results for one tray.

If the item being baked is browning very unevenly, check:

when baking with Fan Heat D:

whether the temperature was set too high,

whether the roasting filter was in place,

whether the correct runner height was used.

when baking with Conventional A:

the colour and composition of the baking tins being used. Light col- oured, shiny, or thin walled tins are less suitable,

whether the correct runner height was used.
