Something Wrong With Your Cooker - Hotpoint EG20 Instruction And Recipe Book

Something Wrong with your Cooker?

Before contacting your Service Office/Installer, check the problem guide below.
Problem
Slight odour or small
amount of smoke when
using the cooker for the
first time.
Cooker does not work
at all.
Oven temperature seems
too high or too low.
Oven does not cook
evenly.
Hotplates are slow to boil
or will not simmer.
Grilling is uneven.
Ignition does not work
Check
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Check that the switch on the control unit is in the on
position. If so check that the main fuse has not blown.
Check that the temperature has been set in accordance
with the temperature charts. It may be necessary to
increase or decrease the recommended temperature by
up to 10 o C to suit your taste.
Check that the temperature and shelf position are as
recommended in the temperature charts.
Check that the containers being used in the oven allow
sufficient air flow around them.
Check that the cooker is level.
Check that your pans conform to the recommendations
in these instructions.
Check that the grill pan has been correctly positioned.
If all burners fail to ignite, check that the sparks appear at the
burners; a clicking noise should be heard. If not check that
the switch on the control unit is in the on position. If so check
that the main fuse has not blown. If only one hob burner is
failing to ignite, check that the parts are sitting correctly and
that the holes in the burner rings are not blocked (see care &
cleaning).
Note: Satisfactory ignition will only be achieved if all hob
burners are fitted.
All burners can be lit with a match.
