temperatures and shelf positions – see the oven
cooking guide. Individual tastes may require the
temperature to be altered either way, to get the results
you want.
The oven light is not working
The bulb has probably blown. You can buy a
replacement bulb (which is not covered under the
guarantee) from most electrical stores. Ask for an Edison
screw fitting 15 W 230 V lamp, FOR OVENS
(Fig. 6-1)
. It
must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300 °C.
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.
Locate the bulb cover and unscrew it by turning it
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 clockwise and then screw the
bulb cover back on. Turn on the electricity supply and
check that the bulb now lights.
The left-hand oven door is misaligned
The bottom hinge of the left-hand oven door can be
adjusted to alter its angle
(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.
Note: The tall oven door cannot be adjusted
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a baking tray with dimensions larger than
those specified in the section on
‘General Oven Tips’
.
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 that 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 firmly
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 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.
