Checking the Multifunction Oven

Check 1 Result

Open the oven door and turn on the oven light Light does not work

Possible Cause

1 No power to range

2 Light bulb failed (most likely cause)

3 Fault in power supply to switch

4 Faulty switch

Action

Are other parts of the range working - is the clock on, do the ovens and oven neons work? If not then there is probably no power to the range. Investigate power supply.

Remove the light bulb (see ‘Servicing Procedures’). Check the bulb with a resistance with a meter. The cold resistance should be very approximately 100 ohms. Replace it if it is open circuit.

3 & 4 If the bulb is OK then move the range forward (see ‘Servicing Procedures’) and remove the rear cover. With the meter check the continuity of the wiring to the bulb and the action of the switch. Replace wiring or switch as necessary.

Check 2 Result Possible Cause

Turn the function control to the

Defrost setting and check that the oven fan starts to spin.

Remember - the clock must be set to the time of day before the oven will work.

Action

Fan does not spin

1 No power to range

2 Fan blades impeded

3 Fault in power supply to switch

4 Faulty switch

5 Fault in power supply to fan

6 Fan motor faulty

1 Are other parts of the range working - is the clock on, do the oven lights and oven neons work?

If not then there is probably no power to the range. Investigate power supply.

2 Remove the oven inner back and check that the fan is not impeded.

3 - 5 If the fan is not impeded, not then move the range forward (see the ‘Servicing Procedures’ section for the correct method) and remove the rear covers. With a meter check the continuity of the wiring to the fan and the action of the switch. Replace wiring, switch or fan as necessary.

Check 3 Result

SERVICING  WARNING

Disconnect from electricity before servicing. Check appliance is safe when you have finished.

Servicing Notes

Disconnect from electricity supply before commencing servicing, particularly before removing any of the following: control panel, side panels, ceramic hob, or any of the electrical components or cover boxes. Before electrical reconnection check that the appliance is electrically safe.

1. To change oven light bulb.

Replacement bulb must be 15w 125-130v lamp, FOR OVENS, heat resistant to 300°C (570°F).

Turn off the power at the circuit breaker

Make sure the oven is cool. Open the oven door and remove the oven racks.

Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter clockwise. It may be very stiff .

Taking care to protect your fi ngers in case the bulb should shatter, unscrew the old bulb.

Screw in the new bulb, screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the circuit breaker and check that the bulb now lights.

2 How to Move the Range for Servicing

Follow these procedures to remove appliance for servicing:

Turn off the power at the circuit breaker

The range is very heavy. Take great care. We recommend two people maneuver the range. Ensure that the fl oor covering is fi rmly attached, or removed to prevent it being disturbed when moving the range around. You will need the leveling tool.

Remove the drawer

Pull the drawer out to its furthest point.

Lift up the ends of the plastic clips (one each side) to release the catches holding the drawer to the side runners and at the same time pull the drawer forward and away from the side runners.

For safety’s sake push the drawer runners back out of the way. Put the drawer somewhere safe - do not refi t it until you have fi nished, you will need access to the area behind the drawer.

Lower the front roller

Fit the leveling tool on the rectangular adjuster as shown.

Lower the front roller by turning the leveling tool clockwise until the front feet are just clear of the fl oor.

Slide range forward to disengage the range from the anti-tip bracket.

Disconnect electrical supply to appliance and unplug the electrical supply cord.

12

SERVICING  WARNING

Disconnect from electricity before servicing. Check appliance is safe when you have finished.

Replaceing the Range

Reverse procedure to reinstall the range and lower the front roller.

Make sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Reconnect the power supply

To refit the draw

To replace the drawer in the cooker, pull the side rails fully out.

Carefully move the drawer back between the rails and rest it on the side rails.

At each side hold the front of the drawer and pull the side rail forward so that the clips click into position holding the drawer to the side rails.

3. To Remove a Side Panel

Turn off the power at the circuit breaker.

Pull the range forward.

Pull off the push fi t control panel end caps at each end and remove the end fi xing screws under the end cap.

Remove the retaining screws for each panel

(1 at the front and 2 at the rear). The lower front retaining screws (one each side) are situated beneath the lower edge at the front corners of the side panels

Reassemble in reverse order.

13

SERVICING  WARNING

Disconnect from electricity before servicing. Check appliance is safe when you have finished.

4. To Lift up the Ceramic Hob

Pull the range forward.
