Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older
If turning the temperature down using the oven control
knob has not worked, or has only worked for a short
time, then you may need a new thermostat. This should
be fitted by a service person.
An oven light is not working
The bulb has probably burnt out. You can buy a
replacement bulb (which is not covered under the
warranty) from a good electrical shop. Ask for a 15 W –
230 V lamp, FOR OVEnS. It must be a special bulb, heat
resistant to 300 °C
(Fig.6-1)
.
Turn off the power at the circuit breaker.
Before removing the existing bulb, turn off the power
supply and make sure that the oven is cool. Open the
oven door and remove the oven shelves.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter-clockwise. It
may be very stiff
(Fig.6-2)
.
Taking care to protect your fingers with a glove in case
the bulb should shatter, unscrew the old bulb.
Screw in the new bulb; screw back the bulb cover. Turn
on the circuit breaker and check that the bulb now
lights.
The oven door is misaligned
The bottom hinge of either oven door can be adjusted
to alter the angle of the door
(Fig.6-3)
. Loosen the
bottom hinge fixing screws and use the notch and a flat
bladed screwdriver to move the position of the hinge to
set the hinge position
(Fig.6-4)
.
Retighten the hinge screws.
