Troubleshooting
Gas hob burner won't ignite or flame is weak.
Check that the gas supply is turned on. Ensure the burner cap and crown are correctly seated and clean. If the issue persists, the FSD (Flame Supervision Device) might be cutting off the gas; try cleaning the thermocouple or contact a qualified gas engineer.
Oven is not heating up or heating unevenly.
Verify the oven settings are correct and the timer hasn't prematurely ended a cycle. Ensure the cooker is properly plugged into the mains electricity and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. For uneven heating, make sure the oven is preheated fully and that food isn't blocking the fan (in the main oven) or oven vents.
LED display is blank or not responding.
Check the main power supply to the cooker. If other parts of the cooker work, try turning the power off at the mains for a few minutes, then on again to reset the display. If the problem continues, contact customer support.
Grease and food residue are difficult to remove from oven interior.
While the oven has easy-clean enamel, for stubborn baked-on grime, use a specialized oven cleaner suitable for enamel surfaces. Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning. For the door, refer to the manual for instructions on removing the inner glass panel for more thorough cleaning.
Cooker emits a gas smell.
Immediately turn off the gas supply at the main valve. Open windows and doors for ventilation. Do not operate any electrical switches or ignite flames. Contact a qualified gas engineer or your gas supplier immediately. This is a serious safety concern.
