Correcting minor faults
. . . The browning effect is uneven
There will always be a slight uneven-
ness. Product information sheets give a
percentage result for standard bro-
wning tests. These refer to results for
one tray.
If the item being baked is browning
very unevenly, check:
– when baking with Fan Heat
D
:
whether the temperature was set too
high,
whether the roasting filter was in
place.
– when baking with the Conventional
setting
A
the colour and composition of the ba-
king tins being used. Light coloured,
shiny, or thin walled tins are less sui-
table.
. . . spots like rust appear on the inte-
rior catalytic walls?
When roasting on the rack, the circula-
ting air sometimes picks up spices,
which are then deposited on the oven
interior walls. Such residues are not re-
moved by catalytic cleaning, they are
best removed while fresh with a mild
washing up liquid and a soft brush.
. . . “F” and a number appear in the
oven display field.
This combination indicates a fault
When
“F3"
appears the core tempe-
rature (roast) probe has a fault.
Remove the probe from its socket
and the message will disappear.
When
“F6"
appears the oven has au-
tomatically switched itself off during
use. This is a safety feature to pro-
tect the oven if it has been operating
for an exceedingly long period. The
timing is different depending on the
oven setting selected.
The oven can be used again immedi-
ately by simply turning the oven fun-
ction selector to “0" and then ente-
ring the process again.
