using a similar cleaning material. This will also restore

The Fan Ovens

The ovens have panels which have been coated with a 
special enamel that partly cleans itself.

This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to 
reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.

The panels work better above 200°C. If you do most 
of your cooking below this temperature, occasionally 
remove the shelf supports and wipe the panels with a lint 
free cloth and hot soapy water. The panels should then 
be dried and the oven heated at 200°C for about one 
hour. This will ensure the panels are working effectively.

This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to 
reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.

Don’t use steel wool (or any other materials that will 
scratch the surface). Don’t use oven cleaning pads.

Troubleshooting

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 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.

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 fully in 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 fi tting 100mA device. This work should be 
carried out by a qualifi ed electrician.

Food is cooking too slowly, too 
quickly, or burning

Cooking times may differ from your previous oven. 
Individual tastes may require the temperature to be 
altered either way, to get the results you want. Try 
cooking at a higher temperature setting.

The oven is not cooking evenly

Do not use a tin or tray larger than 300mm x 240mm.

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

Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the 
door catch is adjusted so that the door is held fi rmly 
against the seal.

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.

Oven temperature getting hotter as 
the cooker gets older

If turning the knob down has not worked or only worked 
for a short time then you may need a new thermostat. 
This should be fi tted by a service person.

Grill not cooking properly

Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with the 
cooker? Is the pan being used on the grill carriage, not 
the fl oor of the compartment? Is the grill tray pushed 
fully back to the stop?

Hotplate ignition or hotplate 
burners faulty

Is the power on?

Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots 
blocked by debris?

Are the burner caps correctly located?

Hotplate burners will not light

If only one or all the hotplate 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.
