1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet. If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorised Service Centre.

Q: My oven causes interference with my TV.

Is this normal?

A: Some radio and TV interference

might occur when you cook with the oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the oven

vents. Why?

A: The heat given off from the cooking

food warms the air in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the oven by the air ﬂow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven

thermometer in the oven?

A: The metal in some thermometers

may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used.

Q: The oven won’t accept my program. Why?

A: The oven is designed not to accept

an incorrect program. For example, the oven will not accept a fourth stage.
