Has anybody figured out how to add a turn-off button or anything like that to rid this sentry system? It seems always on as we use ovens a lot. Thanks

Hi, Our installer put a plug on the power cord instead of wiring it into the system. I added an extension cord with a power switch that I plug the Broan into. It sits in the cabinet over the Broan. I can just reach it to toggle it- then I have do some button pushing because the Broan comes up in a default mode that turns on the lights. But the noise of the fan is GONE. Good luck. Great exhaust fan and the lights are the best, but a little hard to live with. Sheila D.

No, and although I sometimes miss this feature I presume they don't include this functionality on purpose b/c it would be a safety risk in a kitchen timer: user might disable the sound, forget the sound is off and as a consequence burn something in the kitchen.

If you move near the sensor while you are seasoning the chickens the sensor will activate. You can get around it but I challenge that it will not goboff. I have gotten use to so it gies on less than it did but it's work to have it not happen.

Try shutting the door VERY hard. Common issue on this brand. Otherwise a great oven.

The timer will automatically shut the unit off. In order for it to run however, the handle must be down. I love this unit and have baked or cooked lots of things already.

Yes we have the same problem though our broiler unit doesn't seem to go off at all when we are trying to bake. We are thinking of returning the unit totally Too bad 'cause otherwise we like it. Carol

There really isn't a cancel button. If i want to stop the unit from toasting, I slide the lever that closes the top to the right quickly. As long as the oven temp is all the way down (off), the unit turns off. You could also carefully pull the plug, which isn't the best way to turn anything off, since the power may arc as it is unplugged.

Check the "door hooks". They are the little plastic hooks sticking out of the door when you open it. They're both mounted on a plastic strip (that you can't see), and they should move easily. If they seem sluggish, spray just a little silicon spray on the top one and work it up and down. That should make them move easily, and that should solve the problem. When they are all gummed up (for some reason), they don't fully disengage the safety switch when the door is closed, so the oven shuts off. Had same problem -- solved.

You can use the oven without using the timer. The top knob is function and temp. The bottom knob is the on/off /timer. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to where it is pointing to a tiny white square (lower left side) that says "stay on". To turn it off you must turn it clockwise about a quarter turn (again left side at about 9 o'clock) to another blank square and it will click off.

I could be an overheating issue.....when left in the on position for awhile it generates so much heat it turns itself off. I now have one that wont stay on more than 4 seconds on high and around 30 seconds on low..then the overheating sensor shuts if off. It seems once this happens it will always shut off instantly going forward.

i Manually turn the knob to where off is written. But the light stops glowing after minutes of turning it ON when steralization is done.So i consider that as an indication and manually turn knob back to off. But havent seen it going to off ever like it would in say a dish washer or rice cooker

Mine doesn't close tightly either. The oven works well but I find the automatic shut off inconvenient and yes, it's surface and surrounding area does get very hot. Personally if I had it to do over again, I'd purchase a different oven.

I'm wondering if you accidentally pressed the beater bar button, too when you turned the power off? They're right next to each other.

have your system wired so the motion sensors are all on one zone. that way you ca program your system to "stay". it turns off the inside stuff and keeps door and glass-break sensors active

The instructions say that that is what the "Auto" on position is for but a little further down the page they also recommend turning the unit off when it is left unattended. I personally always put the unit in the off position, to avoid possible issue incase a real idiot bends over it wearing a neck tie and accidentally activates it, or spills liquid into it and sparks an electrical fire in a bin filled with finely shredded paper and paper dust. Odds of it happening, very unlikely, but have you ever read the Darwin Awards?

No. I used to have a Black and Decker that did have this feature. It was always a problem through because it would get sticky and then the rack would not slide out easily. I was cleaning it all the time. Eventually a fuse blew out and ruined the mechanism. So this time I looked for a toaster oven that did not have that feature. We have been very happy with the PS.

Looks like you can't eliminate the audible signal in this model. Also there is nothing about that in the manual. I tried a few button combinations but that didn't work (in some, maybe all Samsung microwaves you simultaneously hold Start and Stop buttons for a few seconds to eliminate the signal).
