  If your Electrolux cooker's oven or grill isn't working, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the time of day is correctly set. Also, verify that the power is switched on and that the controls are properly set. Check if the oven is in 'Demo' mode and, if so, exit it. Examine your household fuses or circuit breakers. Finally, confirm that the child-proof oven lock is deactivated. To resolve this, you can try the following: * Set the time of day. * Switch on the electricity. * Reset the controls. * Exit Demo mode. * Check the fuses or circuit breakers. * Deactivate the child lock.
