Possible causes / Solution:
 If the Timer display is blank, it is likely that there is no electricity supply to the
oven. Check:
- That the main cooker wall switch is switched on.
- Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut.
- The main circuit breaker for the property.
 This is normal and should cease after a short period.
 The power supply to the oven has been interrupted, but has now come back
on again.
- Reset the Timer to the correct time of day and 'Manual' operation (see Timer
Operation).
 The Timer may be set for an Auto cooking programme:
- Check the Timer to see whether 'Auto' is lit or flashing. If it is, follow the Timer
instructions to return the Timer to 'Manual' operation (see Timer Operation).
 Operating the oven under the following conditions may cause a safety device
to operate:
- Grilling with the door closed. Always grill with the door fully open.
- Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting. Switch off the
appliance and allow to cool for approx 30 minutes. Switch back on and check
that the Top Oven / Grill is now operating.
 When the grill control is operating at less than its maximum setting, the Grill
will cycle on and off, this is normal and not a fault.
 The bleeper will stop automatically after several minutes. You can cancel it
by pressing the Minute Minder button at any time.
 Check the selected temperature and shelf positions are as recommended
(see Temperature Charts). It may be necessary to increase or decrease the
recommended temperature slightly to suit your taste.
 Check the temperature and shelf positions are as recommended (see
Temperature Charts).
 Check the oven utensils being used allow sufficient air flow around them.
 Ensure that the grill pan is positioned as recommended (see Grill Charts).
 Refer to 'Replacement of the Oven Lamp' (see Care and Cleaning).
 Steam and/or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of the
appliance when using the 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:
- Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.
- Use a covered container, wherever possible.
