Before contacting your Service Centre or Installer, check the guide below, there
may be nothing wrong with your cooker.
Problem
Check
Ignition does not
work.
If all burners fail to ignite
Check that the electricity supply is turned on.
Check that sparks appear at all the burners; a clicking noise
should be heard.
If the electricity supply has failed, the hob burners, grill and
oven(s) can be lit with a match.
If one burner fails to ignite
Check that the burner is dry and that spillage of food or
cleaning fluid remains are not affecting the ignitor or burner
ports.
Clean away any debris with a dry nylon brush such as an old
toothbrush. If a wire wool pad has been used for cleaning
around the burner ensure the ignitor is free from any stray
strands. Any water on the burner should be dried with a cloth
or kitchen towel.
