I can toast but I can't turn the "bake" knob. What is the secret? (Somebody threw out my owner's manual)

The knobs are a little hard to turn at first. They will loosen up with use. Just give them a hard twist. That should work.

Turn top knob to bake,middle knob to desired temperature, and bottom knob to the left to "on". :)

Are you speaking of the bottom dial (labeled 'ON/TOAST SHADE')? This dial does turn quite easily to the right to select toast time, but does require much greater effort to turn to the on position, which is desirable for baking. I did an experiment to help you turn this dial to the left. First turn the dial slightly to the right until the red light comes on, then turn the dial to the left. The pressure required to turn the dial to the off position from the 'toast' position is the same pressure required to turn to the 'ON' position, so just continue pushing to the left until the oven is on again.

The button on the bottom rotates hard to the left (counterclockwise) when you want to bake. There's no timer feature, so you just turn it off when you're done baking.

If you're talking about the bottom knob, you have to turn it to your left VERY HARD to the on position. (I couldn't figure it out for the longest time because I was afraid I would break it if I turned it so hard) This way it will stay on till you turn it off (to the right) manually.

Select the temperature and turn the bake knob to the left. It will stop when turned far enough. There is no timer so you must decide the amount of time. When you are satisfied your item is cooked, you must manually turn off the oven.

Turn the top (function) dial from toast to the left to bake. Turn the middle (temperature) dial to the desired degree (ex. 350) Then turn the bottom dial (on/toast shade) from "off" to the left to "on" no need to push or pull on the dial just turn left.

i M arlene, I hope your question pertains to the DeLonghi oven? I printed out the insructns from the almost unreadable book, as follows. (1) Program/ toast (2) Function Selector Knob / Bake (3))Thermostat Knob at Toast/Broil .Use wire rack when toasting, place rack in the #2 slot position. Good luck with your cooking Marlene, let me kno how it works out, Mary W

Probably not enough. Mine turned to toast all by itself. No way to repair. That was after around 16 or 18 months after purchase.

Make sure that dot on the knob is on "Pressure". If you have it on steam it will just cook without no pressure.

I don't know for sure. I had the same problem when I first got mine but after studying the instruction book found that I had not set the knobs properly. ( I hate readinginstructions!) If it isn't a new oven and has been working, I'd contact DeLonghi Sorry I can't be more help.

I have found that what your saying is true. We have to toast things twice on the low setting. Very frustrating. I bought mine awhile ago should have returned it. If you just reasently puchased it send it back.

you push a button that says toast and then you push a button that says start. You can also push 'more time' or 'less time' buttons after you push toast but before you push start.For making toast you make sure the oven is empty and use the bottom rack. The stove has heating elements on the top and the bottom so you don't have to flip the toast over.Everybody in my family loves the toast it makes except me, I wish that it was faster.

Mine did the same thing and in order to get it fixed or replaced, you have to send it back to the company and be stuck without a toaster until it is fixed or replaced. You may also take it to a repair center if you have one close enough. I live in Pittsburgh area and the closest one is across the state in Philadelphia.

I reset mine by chucking it in the trash. Bought a nice Panasonic toaster oven that's awesome.

I am sorry, but I cannot help with this. I bought this toaster over as a gift for someone not in my household.

To trun off the toaster slide the switch on the top right to "oven". If you are toasting, there is a lever on the right side to pop up the toast when you want to stop the toasting.

If the bread is at room temp or taken out from frig (not frozen), you simply press down the lever. You do not select any buttons. The toaster will turn on as soon as you push the lever down. You only have to adjust the round knob for temperature setting.

Sorry to hear you had trouble -The first one I had seemed to be very slow, but did not burn out. I bought a second unit and it much better than the first one - cooks better and actually toasts bread - I love it!
