Check
If all burners fail to ignite:
Check that sparks appear at the burners;
A clicking noise should be heard.
If only one burner fails to ignite
Check that the burner is dry and that spillage of food or
cleaning fluid remains are not affecting the Ignitor or burner
ports.
Clean away any debris with a dry nylon brush such as an
old dry toothbrush.
If a wire wool pad has been used for cleaning around the
burner ensure the Ignitor is free from any stray strands.
Any water on the burner should be dried with a cloth or
kitchen towel.
On the hotplate make sure that all burner
parts are correctly seated
For correct ignition of oven/grill burners press the ignition button
and then push in and turn control knobs anti-clockwise.
Continue to press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas.
Once alight release the ignition button and continue to hold the
control knob in for a further 6 to 10 seconds.
Then release the control knob and set to the required temperature.
The flame should now stay alight.
If the flame does not hold and goes out wait 30 seconds and try
again
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 10 C to suit your
taste
Check the temperature and shelf position are as recommended
in the temperature charts
Check that the Utensil 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.
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Condensation and steam is a by product of cooking food
with a water content.
To help minimise always:
A) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked
B) Use a coved Utensil wherever possible
Steam and/or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of
the appliance when using an oven, particularly when cooking foods
with a high water content (Such as Oven Chips or Chicken).
This is normal and any excess should be wiped off
