  Your John Lewis oven might not be heating up for several reasons. The oven may be deactivated, so ensure you activate it. The clock might not be set, so set the clock. The settings may be incorrect, so check and correct them. The automatic switch-off could be activated. The Child Lock might be on, so check if it is enabled. Finally, the fuse may be blown. If the fuse continues to blow, contact a qualified electrician.

  If you notice steam and condensation settling on the food and inside your John Lewis oven, it's likely because you've left the dish in the oven for too long after cooking. To prevent this, do not leave the dishes in the oven for longer than 15 - 20 minutes after the cooking process ends.

  If your John Lewis oven is taking too long to cook dishes, or conversely, cooking them too quickly, the temperature might be set incorrectly. Adjust the temperature as needed, consulting your user manual for guidance.

  If the display of your John Lewis oven shows "C3", this indicates that the cleaning function isn't working. This could be because the door isn't fully closed, or the door lock is defective. Ensure that you fully close the door.
