Draught circulates around 
the door.

When the oven is working, air circulates within the cavity.
The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door.

Condensation forms in 
the oven, and may drip 
from the door.

The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so 
steam produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface.
The amount of steam produced depends on the water content of the food 
being cooked. Some foods, such as potatoes have a high moisture content. 
Condensation trapped in the door glass should clear after a few hours.

Flashing or arcing from 
within the cavity when 
cooking.

Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into close proximity to the 
oven cavity during cooking. This may possibly roughen the surface of the cavity, 
but would not otherwise damage the oven. 

Arcing potatoes.

Ensure  all “eyes” are removed from the potatoes and that they have been 
pierced, place directly onto the turntable or in a heat resistant flan dish or 
similar.

The display is lit but the 
control panel will not 
work when pressed.

Check the door is closed properly.

Oven cooks too slowly.

Ensure correct power level has been selected.

Oven makes a noise.

The microwave energy pulses ON and OFF during cooking/defrosting.

Outer cabinet is hot.

The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away.

The display shows 
message for “DEMO 
MODE”, or the time in 
the display is counting 
down very rapidly.

Your oven may be set in Demo Mode. To cancel Demo Mode, unplug the oven 
from the socket and replug.
