What is wrong and why?

We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer.

Problem

The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.

Check

If only the hotplate burners will not light make sure that the burner

lparts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 27.

If you cannot hear any sparking when you press the ignition button there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it. If that works, renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows' again there is a fault on the appliance. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the appliance and tell your installer. If the appliance will not light because there is an electrical power failure such as a power cut you cannot use the main oven. All other burners may be lit with a match.

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.

Problem

Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.

lCheck

Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf positions. See pages 16 - 21. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or down to get the results you want.

Problem

The oven is not cooking evenly.

Check

Check that the appliance is installed properly and is level. Check that the oven roof is pushed fully back into position.

Check that you are using the recommended size baking trays. See page 14.

If you are cooking a large item be prepared to turn it round during

lcooking.

All food in the second oven should be turned round.
