Oven is not heating up or heating unevenly.
Verify that the cooker is properly plugged into the electrical outlet and the fuse hasn't tripped. Ensure the oven function and temperature settings are correctly selected. For uneven heating, ensure the oven interior is clean and there are no obstructions around the fan (if using fan-assisted mode).
LED display is not working or timer cannot be set.
Check the main electrical supply to the cooker. Ensure the clock is set correctly as some functions (like the timer) may require the clock to be set first. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on setting the timer and clock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation & Setup
- Placement: Ensure the cooker is placed on a stable, level surface, adhering to minimum clearance requirements from adjacent cabinetry and walls. Refer to the full installation manual for specific distances.
- Gas Connection: As a dual fuel appliance, the hob requires a natural gas supply. A qualified Gas Safe registered engineer must connect the cooker to your gas line. If you intend to use LPG, the included conversion kit must be installed by a qualified professional.
- Electrical Connection: The electric ovens require a dedicated electrical connection. This should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safe and correct wiring.
- Initial Burn-off: Before first use, it is recommended to 'burn off' any manufacturing residues. Run both ovens empty at a high temperature for approximately 30-60 minutes in a well-ventilated area.
Compatibility
- Fuel Type: Compatible with natural gas (factory set) and LPG (with included conversion kit).
- Dimensions: The cooker measures 900mm (H) x 600mm (W) x 600mm (D), so ensure adequate space in your kitchen.
Care & Maintenance
- Hob Cleaning: Allow the hob to cool completely. Remove cast iron pan supports and burner caps. Wash them with warm soapy water. Wipe the stainless steel hob surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Oven Cleaning: The easy-clean enamel interiors of both ovens simplify maintenance. Once cool, wipe down the internal surfaces with a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn stains, specialized oven cleaners suitable for enamel can be used, following product instructions carefully. Avoid scraping.
- General Care: Regularly check the condition of the door seals for wear and tear to maintain oven efficiency. Ensure burner holes on the hob are clear of debris for optimal flame distribution.
