Solution
When the oven does not turn on, check the
following:
■ Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove
the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and
reinsert.
■ Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset
the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is
tripped or blown.
■ If the circuit breaker or fuse is functioning,
plug another appliance into the outlet. If
the other appliance works, there may be a
problem with the oven. If the other appliance
does not work, there may be a problem with
the outlet. If there is a problem with the oven,
contact an authorised Service Centre.
Some radio and TV interference might occur
when you cook with the oven. This interference is
similar to the interference caused by small
appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow
dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with
your oven.
The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect
program. For example, the oven will not accept a
fourth stage.
The heat given off from cooking the food warms
the air in the oven cavity. This warmed air is
carried out of the oven by the air flow pattern in
the oven. There are no microwaves in the air.
The oven vents should never be blocked during
cooking.
Only when you are using convection/grill cooking
mode. The metal in some thermometers may
cause arcing in your oven and should not be
used on microwave and combination cooking
modes.
The noises occur as the oven automatically
switches from microwave power to convection
grill to create the combination setting. This is
normal.
