It's a Parkinson Cowen Ovation 60 GLXa

The clock/timer does not show - at all.
The main oven does not light.

Yesterday there was a (brief) power cut to the electrical supply.
The manual says:

"If the cooker is switched off at the socket the clock will stop. When you 1st switch on the power, a series of dashes will appear on the display and the clock can be re-set."
"If the cooker will not light because there is an electrical power failure such as a power cut you cannot use the main oven"

So now that power is restored (yes, the oven lights etc work) my questions are:

1) why do the dashes not appear on the clock panel and how to re-set the clock without them?
2) why does the oven not now work and how to get it working?

Is there perhaps some simple electrical 're-set' that is needed which is not explained in the manual?

the oven must not be working because the clock is blank,you must need to press something near the clock and turn the dail to start the clock/oven, you dont say what make it is..
