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

I've heated my oven to 550 with no problems. I don't know regarding the broiler because mines on top

I have the same problem when I first used it, the temp only goes up to 250. I tried cooking a whole chicken, set the timer to 45mins, then it when it went off, and I checked it was not cooked yet then I tried turning it on again but to no avail! It wont turn on again! I used this thing ONCE only and i ended up with one halfcooked chicken! Disappointed!!!! Dont waste your money on this one.

Something must be wrong with the bottom heating element. When I first got mine, the bottom came out burnt and the top was not baked.I modded it so that I can turn the bottom element off after baking 45 sec. Leave the top on for a total of 3 Min.

I've never had that problem. Did something melt inside the oven (i.e., plastic wrap, plastic container)?

Hi back, sorry about the problems you are having - it sounds bad. I have not had that happen with my machine, so I expect there is a problem with yours. The over heating is worrisome, and that kind of thing has lead to fires in other appliances, so I strongly recommend you return it for a replacement! Best of luck to you. Just read other comments and it sounds like others have had that problem. I only make 1 loaf a week, so have not had to let mine cool down before making another loaf.

I have had no problems like this. Perhaps your dough is too dry and therefore, stiff. Or the pan is not in properly.

I don't believe your machine is defective - I really can't tell, but it's not a high powered oven. An item such as a batter mix in my opinion is too dense to properly bake. Any food that has to go in a container or a metal or loaf pan would not cook properly. Due to the density of the batter. I have only cooked meats & light frozen foods (frozen potatoes, etc.) only in my oven with satisfactory results

Mine never worked right. Burned the bread even on light crust. I returned it.

cooks, toasts, broils, etc. very evenly. I suggest a crisper pan or mesh for pizza. It gets very hot, I burned a couple of things at first, pay especial attention to direction to turn on/off button past 10 before setting desired time.

Elevation and gas/electric ovens can make a difference in how it bakes up. This is usually pretty good, but I do like the devils food better. I found it to be a tiny bit crumbly, but started subbing coconut oil for butter and fruit juice for water and it is maybe too moist! Experiment with it. :)

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:(

Yes, it is @ top right. 1 for bake, 2 for FAN bake, 3 for broil. Push the oven spot 3 times for broil, push start and it will blink BROIL.

As long as it fits in the oven, AND has some space around the pan, I have baked it. Unfortunately, have to keep resetting it after the first 30 min are up.

I have left it in oven during broiling with no problems. I really like how it keeps the oven clean.

Sounds like you're just using too much dough. If you use a smaller amount of dough, it should also cook through more easily, but you may need to try a lower temperature and a longer bake time.

I commiserate with you about your convection oven. I haven't been happy with mine since day one. I'm not having the same problem you're having but I don't like the way it functions.
