Members of OcUK... I need your help!

I have an oven in the house I've moved into that has all the markings rubbed off, and the letting agents are useless. I've tried and failed to find the manual/close up picture of the oven.

The oven looks exactly like this one:

The centre dial is a timer


The right one is the temperature, and seems exactly like this:

The left dial is the one we really need to know about. I imagine it's like this one as top is off, and one notch right is just the light, but it only has 7 positions and not 9 like this picture and I have no idea what the symbols mean anyway

Thanks for looking, hope one of you can help me out.

Thanks for trying to help. My oven is not the same as the final picture I posted as it only has 7 notches not 9, so I really need an image of this oven or a manual for it.

Even if I knew what all the symbols meant it wouldn't help me at all really

It's always the same order as I said in my post. I don't understand what the problem is?

Have you actually tried the notches?

1. Off
2. A light will come on
3. It will get hot
4. It will get hot and a fan will come on
5. The grills at the top will come on
6. More grills at the top will come on
7. Grills at the top will come on, with, surprise, a fan

Let's be honest it's not rocket science

The thing rattles like buggery no matter what setting it's on so I can't tell if a fan is going as it seems like it's always going.

It's built into the kitchen tabletop surface/cupboards so it can't be moved.

Granted, but the order is always the same, at least on any oven I've seen - there's no need for it be different.

Ignoring the fan noise you seem to be right. I get:

Off
Light on
hot
hot
element red
element red
element red + very hot

Thanks for the help, although the sarcasm wasn't needed

My apologies, you just seemed to be getting stressed over something simple, and with people suggesting you dismantle the oven to find a serial code and manufacture date I tried to put an end to it ASAP

The gf was certainly getting stressed about it, so that may have come across in my post. Thanks again

Set it to 175 and use fan assisted always. Job done.

Very useful.
