Problem Cause and remedy
An abnormal sound can
be
heard when the oven
is operating in
microwave mode.
Metal was used during a programme with microwave
po
wer.
 Check if ther
e are sparks caused by using metal
dishes (see "Suitable containers for microwave
use").
The food was covered with aluminium foil during a
pr
ogramme with microwave power.
 If
necessary, remove the foil cover.
The wire oven rack was used during a programme
with micr
owave.
 Always use the glass tr
ay for programmes with
microwave power.
The oven has switched
itself off.

en
ergy if no other action is taken within a certain time

Cakes and biscuits are
not
sufficiently baked in
the times given in the
chart
A different temperature from the one given in the
r
ecipe was used.
 Select the t
emperature required for the recipe.
The ingredient quantities are different from those
given
in the recipe.
 Double che
ck the recipe. The addition of more
liquid or more eggs makes a moister mix which
would take longer to cook.
Browning is uneven. The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected.
 Ther
e will always be a slight unevenness. If the
unevenness is pronounced, check that the correct
temperature and shelf level have been selected.
The cookware used was not suitable for the
pr
ogramme chosen. Bright shiny tins are not very
suitable. Try using a different tin next time. These
reflect heat, which means that the heat does not
penetrate to the food effectively, resulting in uneven
or poor browning.
 Dark matt tins ar
e best for baking.
