CAUSE/SOLUTION
• The door is not closed properly.
• The plug is not correctly inserted.
• There is no power to the mains socket (check the fuse
box).
• When cooking food containing water, it is completely nor-
mal for steam generated inside the oven to be given off and
condense inside the oven, on the cooking surface or around
the door.
• Never turn the oven on without food when using microwa-
ve or combined functions.
• When using the above functions, do not use metal contai-
ners or bags or packs with metal staples.
• Select the correct function or increase cooking time.
• The food was not completely defrosted before cooking.
• Select the correct mode or reduce cooking time.
• Stir food during cooking.
Bear in mind that food cooks better when cut into even-
sized pieces.
• Turntable rotation has not been switched on.
