Using your Range
The oven is not cooking evenly
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn
it round during cooking.
If two racks 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 rack.
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 rack should be
the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper
at the back, then the back of the range should be
raised up or the front lowered). If the range is not
level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.
Oven not coming on.
Is the power on?
If not there may be something wrong with the
power supply. Is the range supply on at the circuit
breaker?
If using the Multi-function oven have you set a
cooking function?
Oven temperature getting hotter as the range
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 installed by a service
technician. (see the ‘Service and Parts’ section of the
instructions).
The 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 15w 125-130v lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a
special bulb, heat resistant to 300°C (570°F).
Turn
off the power at the circuit breaker
Make sure the oven is cool. Open the oven door
and remove the oven racks.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter
clockwise. It may be very stiff .
Taking care to protect your fi ngers 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.
Cooktop 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 fl ow of gas if the fl 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 fl ow. This allows
the fl 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 off position and wait one minute,
then try again this time holding in the control knob
for slightly longer.
Cooktop 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.
