Problem solving guide

.. . 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 temperature in the oven has fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will switch off automatically.

It will switch off sooner if the oven door is opened.

.. . 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 recipe. 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 plus or Intensive bake: 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 unevenness.

If browning is very uneven, check

with Fan plus:

–whether the temperature was set too high,

–whether the roasting filter was in place.

–whether the correct runner height was used.

with Conventional heating:

–the colour and composition of the baking tins being used. Light coloured, shiny, or thin walled tins are less suitable.

–whether the correct runner height was used.
