Do the elements repeatedly heat up then shut off to keep a low temp? Low should stay on low like a range top. Cheaper ones don't work right.

It does not seem to shut off to keep a low temp. There are two lights and the on light stays on. The other light tell you when the temp you selected has been reached. It will stay on until you maybe cut the temp down.

From my experience, once you hit the temp desired 1 through 5, it tends to stay there (Green button comes on when temp is reached). Sometimes the green button goes off for a minute or 2 then comes back on, but the burner stays hot! After use, unplug the unit for safety reasons but the burners will stay hot (while cooling down) for 30-40 minutes after!

I have never had that problem with mine. It seems to be fairly simple to operate......you turn it on, set the temperature, set the time, done. However, if you set it on the highest temp setting (which in my opinion is too hot) it will revert to the lowest temperature setting after 1 hour. I am not sure why. However, anything outside of this.....I would look into sending it back. I love this product and so do my clients.

I've noticed that if the water gets to low the temp won,t stay put. Also unhooked the propane tank thinking it was empty, screwed it back it and the temp shot up. Maybe an air lock of some kind. Hope this helps. We really like it.

Hi Mark,I haven't used my oven very often since I got it but I think that when I've baked something, the timer has to be turned on to activate the heating elements. Then when the timer runs out, the oven's heat shuts off. I could be incorrect but it shouldn't take much experimenting for you to find out for yourself.

I think I've figured it out....I've had problems with mine staying only on high. When I first used it you could adjust it from high to low. Mine got screwed up by moving it once (I have it on a cart) and that's when I only had high afterwards. I jiggled stuff around like where the burner was at, or whatever would jiggle and now it's working fine. I got stuck on high only a couple more times and whatever I jiggled corrected it. Otherwise, I LOVE this grill....cooks so well, never had anything burn or flare up.

It gets very hot! The large heat element looks like a kitchen top coiled element that glows red hot when fully warmed up. The only problem is that when it comes on it blows cold air until its warmed up. It was unpleasantly cold waiting for the elements to reach operating temperature. If it is place away in a closed room it is probably not an inconvenience but if used in a large open space it is.

You set the temperature by pressing the top button until the temp starts to change. It will only move up then cycle back down to a lower temperature after you reach the maximum temperature. I had a hard time figuring this out also as the instructions are not clear. If you just hold the button down it will turn the unit on and off, so you have to repeatedly press the button to get it to cycle through the temperature settings. Seems like when the temperature was lower the unit would just flash but once is was in the 70's it would stop flashing. Now that it is set I love the heater, does a great job.

it shuts off completely. I have mine set as low as it goes and keeps things very comfortable. It turns on automatically to keep the temp constant.

I have left mine on very low numerous times. You just have to experiment with the setting to get the temp you want. Keeping the bathroom door closed helps to hold the temperature.

I have a regular oven with electric coil on bottom of my oven. Never had a problem but I make sure to take it out when I do self cleaning. I can't answer the question on hidden heating elements.

Make sure you hold it down for a minute before you release it, so it will heat up the element. If that isn't it, I have no idea. May be defective.

I ordered one of these for mine I thought it was bad but the little round thing in the copper wire for the thermal couple is a temp shut off if it get over 190 it shuts of the gas we had a refrigerator and dryer to close to it and it was over heating. I moved them and it worked great.

Batteries are low - change them. Suggestion -- use the light @ the mid-range - lasts a lot longer and does not get as hot.

Yes, it does retain it's setting. I don't know if there is a time limit for how long the setting will be kept, but I've seen it retain the temp setting after a several hour power outage. I have two of these installed and they both returned to their set temps following a power outage.

Strange Amazon would ask me to reply. I left a negative review. My answer is ---with the ceramic one I bought/returned you can choose any temp. The problem is it doesn't keep it. I choose 68 and it would climb 74+ and go way below the 68 before turning on. I believe there is something you call this. Basically you choose a temp and there is a high and a low. Some are more fine tuned and have a smaller variance. Lasko apparently has a large variance. That's my word it may not be the correct word but I hope you get what I am saying. I don't know where in the specs to find this variance from heater to heater. But it is reason I returned the heater. No other reason. Strange Amazon would ask me to reply. I left a negative review.

I have a glass top electric stove top and it works great. It takes a moment to figure out the right temperature but once that is resolved, it is good to go. I wash it after it has cooled slightly and it cleans up well. If anything sticks, just let it soak.

I've had mine for a couple of months now, and I haven't had any issues. I always use low-medium heat.
