Moving your cooker
Switch off the electricity supply.
The cooker is heavy, two people may be required to move it. There are two levelling rollers at the back and also two screw down levelling feet at the front.
Open the grill door and right hand oven door so that you can get a good grip on the bottom of the fascia panel as you move the oven.
Lift the front of the cooker slightly and pull forward.
Do not move the oven by pulling the door handles or knobs.
Move the oven a bit at a time, checking behind it to make sure the gas hose is not caught. Make sure both electricity and gas cables have sufficient slack to move the cooker forward as you go along.
If a stability chain is fitted, release it as you ease the cooker out. Don’t forget to refit it when you replace the cooker.
When you replace the cooker, again check behind to make sure that the electricity and gas cables are not caught or trapped.
Troubleshooting
Steam is coming from the oven
During cooking, food naturally produces steam, particulary when cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven chips). There may be some steam visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate. This is perfectly normal. Steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer trim or the oven door. It may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.
Take care when opening the oven door as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
The oven fan is noisy
The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up - this is perfectly normal.
What cleaning materials are recommended for the cooker?
See the ‘Cleaning’ section of the Easy Guide for a full list of recommended cleaning materials. We do not recommend Mr. Muscle, as it contains chemicals which may damage the surfaces of your cooker.
The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the grill, can I avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. Don’t leave the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan is pushed right back to the ‘backstop’ when grilling.
If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays?
You do. Service organisations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. It’s in your interest to track down your original installer.
Current Operated Earth Leakage Breakers Where the cooker installation is protected by a 30 milliamp sensitivity residual current device (RCD), the combined use of your cooker and other domestic appliances may occasionally cause nuisance tripping. In these instances the cooker circuit may need to be protected by fitting 100mA device. This work should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
