Re: Stoves gas cooker
Hi
If the cooker a tight fit then it probably hasn’t been installed with the necessary air gap.
When the “charring” was first noticed was it reported to Stoves? If there is a trail of service calls to this cooker for the fault you describe and it started from the first use then you may have some redress as long as the appliance is under six years old and proof of purchase is available. This is not an easy issue by any means to resolve, your local trading standards will be able to advise if you choose this route.
Have you tried cleaning the affected area? All to often complaints of charring are in fact cooking deposits which have spat onto the carcass sides and discoloured them.HTH

Sorry to hear your news Simon.
Best wishes to you and the others in your new venture.
DonRe: Stoves gas cooker
Hi
Nine digit model code starting 0505 and the serial number required to accurately date this appliance.
Production started in 2001 so the cooker is now nearing or has reached end of life which is why the amount of spares available is very small.
Brown and damaged units from cookers are usually down to manufacturers installation guide on minimum gap between appliance and base units not followed, fabric of units is easily charred, or it could be that the door is no longer fitting as well as it should due to age. Stoves did stock a heatproof strip to protect units if they were needed as optional extras.
I’m also interested to know what Stoves said when you contacted them?

Hi
Model number is always good so we know what to look for 😉
If they are like the attached then they are G4 20W halogen capsules. Avoid touching the glass with your fingers as the natural oils from your skin creates a hot spot and the lamp will blow. If you have a multimeter a quick continuity test will tell you if they are okay.

Re: Football Season 2014/2015
Fair comment Jim.
Although I think from second down to 6th all clubs underachieved which is why Chelsea won the league easily. As for Saints the second best defence behind Chelsea just need a top class striker who can shut games out for us.
I think there will be a lot of changes in personnel this summer as clubs try and improve on this year.

Great start for England cricket in an Ashes summer.Re: Obsolete Filter Coffee Machine
Hi
No spares available I’m afraid, machine is past it’s life span. You could get some paper filters and cut them to size if need be. As for instructions for small appliances, no chance. Sorry.
DonRe: Hotpoint HUI62TP safety chain.
Hi
No other Hotpoint cooker comes with a chain. I think maybe that they are now marketing across the EU where chains in some countries are required Also printing one set of instructions is cheaper than printing for each country.
Or it could be that the manufacturers have changed the spec as they are allowed to do by way of the usual disclaimer ie we reserve the right to change or amend specification without prior notification etc…
There is no chain listed on the parts explosion either which is probably why Hotpoint are unable to obtain for you. That said I see some Beko electric cookers are fitted with a chain nowadays but these are light and flimsy cookers so I can see the logic there.
Your Hotpoint is a reasonably heavy cooker so I wouldn’t worry about it. If you really want to chain it I would check with Hotpoint first so as not to cause any problem with guarantees etc.
