Oven Scare

[debodun]

I used the oven in my new house, then realized when I went to shut it off, I didn't know how. I hunted on the control panel and finally found a CANCEL button (it wasn't very visible in dark letters on a black stove), but I guess that's what I have to do.

Better stick with ice cream until you find the owners manual.

Go online or on youtube and search the brand name of the oven. You should be able to find all its features that way.

IKR? These control panels all seem to want to call stuff anything in the world but what you'd expect: no "Off" buttons anymore, gotta be "Cancel" or something like that. You wonder who designs some of this stuff.

 

[RadishRose]

I think cancel is pretty explanatory.

Maybe somebody with a weird sense of humor... like "Heh, let's see how many customers can figure this out!"

Let me guess...it's digital! Remember when controls were obvious?

Well, maybe, but "Off" is only 3 letters so you'd think they'd use it instead to save on paint and (time) $$.

It's a Maytag model MERH752BAB. This is a pic of the control panel I found online. I pointed with a red arrow to the CANCEL button. See how dark it is?

Take a piece of white tape and mark it...like surgery tape....

You think you're better than us?

Well, now that I know what to do....

We have an Amana oven which is part of the Whirlpool Corporation, who also owns Maytag.
Anyways .. We have the same control panel on our oven with 'cancel' on the face.
Only difference is our control panel is all white with small black lettering used for description.
It's been a good little stove/oven, we got it back in 2003.

We all have to start thinking like the Chinese.

Seems that off would be better and more intuitive than cancel.

 

[terry123]

I would have expected OFF too.

 

[Remy]

Deb, that would bother me too. It should have off in nice red letters. My microwave is black and has hard to read controls. I've just figured out which button is which.

 

[Aneeda72]

Well, you could unplug it as well that turns everything off on an electric stove
