What to do
Still in SELF CLEAN function. The door
will unlock when the cycle has finished
and the oven has cooled to a safe
temperature.
Replace the light bulb. Refer to 'Care
and cleaning' for details.
Oven elements and fans turn off while
the door is open so be sure the oven
door is properly closed. Note: GRILL
functions will only operate with the
door closed.
Preheat until the illuminated ring
around the temperature knob changes
from red to white.
Use the correct sized bakeware.
Stagger baking pans on the oven
shelves so that there is at least 3 cm
between them and the oven walls.
Make all cookies in a batch the same
size and shape and space them evenly
over the baking tray.
Reduce the oven temperature by 10°C
and extend the cooking time by a
couple of minutes.
Use shiny baking pans/trays.
Try a lower shelf position.
Do not open the door until at least ¾ of
the baking time has passed.
Adjust temperature.
Shiny baking trays, tins, and pans reflect
the heat and may result in baked food
that is pale and undercooked on the
base.
Use shiny baking pans/trays.
