Hotplate ignition or cooktop burners faulty

Is the power on?

Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner holes

blocked by debris?

Are the burner heads correctly located? See the section

entitled ‘Cleaning’.

Remember that each cooktop burner has a special

safety device that stops the ow of gas if the ame goes

out. When lighting a cooktop burner the safety device

has to be overridden by holding in the control knob so

that the gas can ow. This allows the ame sensor to

heat up and operate the safety device. Keep holding the

knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for

few seconds. The igniter should spark and light the gas.

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes

out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to

the o position and wait one minute, then try again this

time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.

Hotplate burners will not light

If only one or all the cooktop burners will not light,

make sure that the parts have been replaced correctly

after wiping or removing for cleaning.

Check that there is not a problem with your gas

supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas

appliances you may have are working.

Do the burners spark when you push in the control

knob? If not check the power is on.

Steam is coming from the oven

When cooking foods with a high water content (e.g.

oven chips) there may be some steam visible at the rear

grille. Take care when opening the oven door, as there

may be a momentary pu of steam when the oven

door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to

disperse.

An 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 for a full list of recommended

cleaning materials.

6. Troubleshooting



We do not recommend corrosive or caustic cleaners

as these may damage your cooker.

The knobs get hot when I use the oven, can I avoid this?

Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven, and

heating them up. Do not leave the oven door open.

The fascia gets hot when I use the oven or grill

The cooker is cooled by a fan. If the fascia becomes

excessively hot when the cooker is in use then the

cooling fan may have failed. Should this occur please

contact your installer, a qualied repair engineer or

Customer Service to arrange for its repair.

If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my

original installer to come back to x it who pays?

You do. Service organizations will charge for their call

outs if they are correcting work carried out by your

original installer. It is in your interest to track down your

original installer.

Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning

Cooking times may dier from your previous

oven. Check that you are using the recommended

temperatures and shelf positions.

See the oven cooking guide section of the instructions.

The oven control settings and cooking times are

intended to be used only as a guide.

Individual tastes may require the temperature to be

altered either way, to get the results you want. Try

cooking at a higher or lower temperature setting.

The oven is not cooking evenly

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

round during cooking.

If two shelves are used, check that space has been left

for the heat to circulate. When a baking sheet is put into

the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the shelf.

Check that the door seal is not damaged.

A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the

same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the

back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or

the front lowered.)

If the cooker is not level arrange for your supplier to

level it for you.
