Verify that the correct hob zone control knob is turned on and set to the desired power level. Ensure the hob surface is clean and dry. If multiple zones are not working, check the main power supply to the cooker.

Ensure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before placing food inside. Avoid overcrowding the oven, as this can restrict air circulation. Use appropriate bakeware that allows for good airflow. Check if the oven door seal is intact and not letting heat escape.

Catalytic liners work best when the oven is used at higher temperatures (above 200°C) as the grease is oxidized. Ensure you are regularly operating the oven at these temperatures. After cooling, wipe away any fine ash with a damp cloth. For heavily soiled areas or parts without liners, a manual clean with appropriate oven cleaner may be necessary.

Ensure the grill element is fully heated before placing food under it. Position food closer to the grill element for more intense heat. Check if the grill function is selected correctly on the control knob.
