CHECK
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that there is no
electricity supply to your oven. Check:
(i) that the main cooker control unit is switched on.
(ii) other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut.
(iii) the main circuit breaker for the property.
Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a safety
device to operate:
(a) Grilling with the door closed - Always grill with the door open.
(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting.
Switch off the appliance and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Switch the cooker
back on and check that the Grill / Top oven is now operating.
Check the temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven
Cooking Charts.
It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended temperature
slightly to suit your taste.
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. The part is easily changed
(see the section on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp may be obtained
from out Parts department, see Key Contacts, back page.
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 power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has now
come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time of day using the
instructions given in the Clock / Minute Minder section of this book.
A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when the
appliance is used. if the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may run on, or
restart itself when all controls have been turned off. The fan will stop once the
appliance has cooled. This is normal and not a fault.
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, eg. frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is normal, any excess should
be wiped off.
Steam is a by-product of cooking and 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.
