Turn oven on. Choose "Cook Time". Turn dial to select number of minutes to cook. Choose "Cook Time" to exit selection. Choose "Temp". Use dial to select temperature. Choose "Temp" to exit selection. Press "Start". Your oven will cook at the selected temperature for the time selected. Your oven will revert to 400 degrees when it finishes. If you want to cook at a lower temp again, follow the above instructions.

The only preset temp is 300 degrees which will appear when you push the on-off button. Then you can select your cooking temp by pressing the plus or minus button repeatedly. Temp will increase in 25 degree increments until reaching max of 425 degrees.

It quotes both but I see nothing in my booklet that explains how to change it. I love mine so would suggest you call ThermoWorks customer service number 1-800-393-67434. There are several products and they will probably steer you in the right direction.

It really varies with your oven and cooking technique. I use a commercial convection oven with the ability to inject steam this is a game changer over standard home ovens. using a convection oven I usually drop the temperature by 50 degrees and cook for the same time and experiment with the steam (which I usually use by the way). That being said the timing is somewhere about half of the usual time, I simply cook things until they are done keeping good notes in my cooking notebook/computer. Good Luck

This little oven is the best and you don't need the manual. Plug it in, look at the dials, decide what you want to (toast, convection, regular) and set the temperature dial as appropriate. You need to have the temperature set at 450 to toast. You need to set the timer at more than 10 minutes for convection. The convection function works great for reheating pizza, cooking broccoli florets and probably other things too. Good luck!

Select the operation you want (bake, broil, cookies, etc., not toast), then select desired temperature with up/down arrows, then select the amount of time with the up/down arrows and push convection button. This works for me.

it sounds like it is defective... it is a little hard to turn but NOT that hard. when you turn it will feel like are forcing it a bit. i love this oven! I've purchased it twice one for my apt and another for my boyfriends apt. i hope you don't have to send it back but if it's that hard to turn for you, you just might:(

The first nob is your temperature setting, set it at the temp you need, the second nod is the timer , you always turn this nob past the 20 min mark this turns on the oven, if you want a lower temp turn it back to desired temp, you will hear a clicking sound as the oven heats up. The lower nob turns on the convection baking , the toaster and the broiler. Each time you use he oven be sure you turn the second nob past the 20 min mark as the oven will not operate. after using the oven leave the door open about two inches to cool , I hope this helps you. The oven is very easy to use. Elizabeth

Hi Leticia, We've been trying to get a contact e-mail and preferably a phone number since last week. We can definitely help you get squared away, but I want to spend a few minutes troubleshooting what you're doing now so we can correct it. The oven will easily get up into hotter temperatures than you are achieving now, but that will depend upon fuel (chunkwood) selection and how you are monitoring the stone temperature. Can you contact our customer service line at 206-438-3587 so we can help you? Thanks!!

I use the convection oven almost every day. This may sound obvious but the number key pad sets the temp and time. I hit convec then #8 for 400d followed by say1000 for 10 minutes. Unlike a regular oven the time is in seconds, so if you press 59 that is 59 sec. If you are already doing that, I have no other solutions as I haven't had the same experience.

Turn the temp down. We've had this unit for about three months now, and, haven't seen a reason (after burning our 2nd pizza) to turn the temp dial past 2. Hope this helps.

I did not "calibrate" my oven thermometer I just just the Admetior in the middle of the oven. Heated it to 350. Checked they were the same. 20 minutes later I checked again and they were the same. I can't really read my oven thermometer anymore, but at least I know it works.

We have not had that issue....I always warm the oven on the #1 setting. After the light goes off and the unit warms for roughly 10 minutes, I then turn the knob to #2 just before cooking a pizza. We had some issues the first time we used it and the pizza wasn't perfect but once we figured out our system, it has been perfect ever since. We just started pre-making pizzas when we are having people over and only cooking them half way earlier in the day and then finishing the cooking when we are ready to serve. They turn out great and you don't have the mess of preparation while you have guests. (Unless its a pizza party and some of the fun is having everyone prepare their own) We have not had that issue....I always warm the oven on the #1 setting.

Just checked the manual - it said the clock/timer light is only on when the oven is cooking. The light off indicates the oven is not cooking. This is an update to my last answer.

I've put it in an oven of 425-450, but never at 500. Hope this answer helps.

The oven has a function called "convert" which allows you to put in any temp. and time and it will determine what time it will take. You can choose between baked goods, meat, casseroles, etc. There is also a menu function which probably has "baked potato" as an option. There is a separate pizza function which works well. Things come out as if they had been in a full-sized oven.
