There is a hole on the control panel of my cooker. It looks as if an LED is missing, or a part has fallen out.

Issue:

Does your cooker have a gas oven? If so then this hole is meant to be in the control panel. It provides access for an engineer to control and regulate the mixture of gas and air flow for the gas oven.

My electric oven has stopped working. I think it may have blown/cut out.

Issue:

Each electric oven is equipped with a safety thermostat. If this is tripped, the oven will be isolated and power will be cut off from that oven. The safety thermostat can be reset by you – on more recent models a small button is located to the rear of the oven accessible via the hob mounted rear oven vents. With the oven turned off remove the oven vent above the oven that is not working. Unscrew the black cap and then press the red button to reset. Refit the black cap and oven vent. Turn the power back onto the cooker and turn the oven on. On earlier models the button may be located in different places. Please ring for information as to where, and how to access it.

Advice:

If the oven does not work please contact the service department.

My control knobs get hot

My gas oven is too hot, and I am burning my food ( Gas Ovens Prior to May 2015)

Issue:

Lacanche/Moderne gas ovens are hot ovens. Their temperature range starts at 150⁰C and runs up to almost 300⁰C. They are therefore unsuitable for cooking at lower temperatures. (The electric ovens offer a wider temperature range). It is important that you preheat the oven to the required temperature (10 minutes); failing to do so and placing food in a cold oven may result in burning/over cooking, as the oven is burning hard initially in order to get up to the set temperature. The gas oven is heated by a powerful base burner running into the centre of the oven cavity; try placing the food higher in the oven cavity and remember to turn your food during cooking. If you suspect that the oven is burning at greater than 150⁰C on gas mark one, it may be worth checking it using an oven thermometer. Remember to put the thermometer into the gas oven after 10 minute warm up time. If the problem persists it may be a commissioning error
