Troubleshooting

It may occur that the appliance does not function or does not function properly.
Before calling customer services for assistance, let's see what can be done.
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in the gas and electrical
supplies, and, in particular, that the gas valves for the mains are open.
The burner does not light or the flame is not uniform around the
burner.
Check to make sure that:
• The gas holes on the burner are not clogged;
• All the removable parts that make up the burner are mounted correctly;
• There are no draughts around the cooking surface.
The flame does not stay on
Check to make sure that:
• You press the knob all the way in;
• You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate the safety device.
• The gas holes are not clogged in the area corresponding to the safety
device.
The burner does not remain on when set to "Low".
Check to make sure that:
• The gas holes are not clogged.
• There are no draughts near the cooking surface.
• The minimum has been adjusted correctly (see the section entitled,
"Adjusting the low flame").
The cookware is not stable.
Check to make sure that:
• The bottom of the cookware is perfectly flat.
• The cookware is centered correctly on the burner.

If your oven releases alot of smoke during cooking.
Check to make sure that:
• You have selected the correct cooking mode for the type of food and the
dish is in the correct recommended shelf position.
• The temperature is correct for the type of cooking required.
• The oven interior is clean. Food residue encrusted onto the enamel coating
inside the oven becomes charred and creates both smoke and odours.
• Dish is placed onto baking tray, splashes of grease or overflows onto very
hot surfaces create smoke.
If, despite all of these checks, the cooker does not function properly and
problem persists, call Hotpoint "After Sales Service" (see back page).
IMPORTANT:
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the manufacturer, and refuse
to accept spare parts that are not original.
