FAQ for Current Users - Ground Floor

Problem – the heater in the main hall is blowing cold air.

Solution – check the pdf Heater Control Manual attached at the bottom of this web page.

Problem – the oven will not heat/turn on.

The oven has two controls. One for temperature and one to control the oven setting i.e. fan forced, element only (the oven has several elements), and many selections of combinations of the two.

The temperature dial only controls the temperature when the oven is on. To turn the oven on, the temperature must be set to greater than zero then adjust the dial which changes the oven from fan forced to element, to warming etc.

Solution – this problem has only happened a few times. Ask a guest at your function who has used an oven before and they will set you right.
