Check
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Check that the switch on the control unit is in the on
position.
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˚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.
The hob surround can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a
cream cleaner, such as Jif. The sealed hotplates should be
cleaned regularly (Please refer to the Care and Cleaning section
for further information.
Please note that replacement hob cleaning kits are available
from our parts department, under part number: 6400001
Grill will not work unless the Grill door is in the grill position (see
Grilling section of this book).
Steam and/or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear
of the appliance when using an oven particularly for foods with a
high water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is
normal and any excess should be wiped off.
Steam is a by-product of cooking any food with a high water
content. To help minimise always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being
cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible
(back cover).
