Urgent!! To not understand oven symbols poison my family!

[RawChicken]

Help! I'm in a holiday cottage and can't understand these oven symbols! Chickens been in the oven 40 mins and still looks raw. I've never seen these symbols in my life- they are not universal! Which one is the fan oven!?

I was using number 1, but it didn't work! The stupid guidebook says no. 3 but that just seems to switch on the grill!

This is a Lamona oven by the way.

The one you have it on there is correct. Is there a separate dial for temperature too? Our oven has one like that to switch on the correct oven and we have to move another dial to set the temperature.

Doesn't appear to be a fan setting (there would be a little three bladed fan in the middle). That setting should be the correct one for a normal non-fan oven. what temperature have you put it on?

The one it is on is full oven. Top left is grill. Bottom two are heat coming from top only or bottom only. There doesn’t seem to be a fan option, so not a fan oven? Can you see a fan in there?

No fan symbol so may not be a fan oven.
What other dials are there?

It looks like there should be a separate dial for the temperature. We have an oven which has a dial like this.

Yep temperatures on 200 now. So I was right- it's the oven that's broke

Yeah there should be a second knob for temperature. Usually I would put chicken on between 180c and 200c.

Might sound obvious but is the oven actually on? There might be a switch or button somewhere

Yeah we did the second knob and it's warm inside but the chickens still raw... perhaps it's just a very slow oven!

Is there A timer? I have to turn a timer on for oven to go on

It isn't a fan oven but you have the correct setting for bog standard oven. You should have a temperature dial too

Sometimes you have to mess about with the clock/timer buttons for it to start working. I usually just press them until the noise starts, although it's not that type of oven.

Yes, look,for a switch on the wall.

I was going to ask if there is another dial too. Also it’s not on some funny timer setting, or has just been switched on at the wall and the clock needs to be set before it will work?
I have found that at cottages quite often

Is there a digital timer with a flashing A? If so then the oven may not work with the A flashing. I've had that happen with an oven before.

Is it at all warm? It could be that the top or bottom element is broken, so it can't reach temperature.

Try the grill, you'll see very fast if that works. You can use it to heat the oven and cook the food- it will respond to the temp dial as well.

That's the normal oven symbol.

Does it feel hot? What temp have you set it at?

Oh sorry, seen it’s warm. Maybe it does take ages to heat up.

Or it’s in Fahrenheit not Celsius?

Is there another dial with a timer?

I used to have an oven that wouldn't come on if the timer wasn't on, even if the temperature and element dials were on.

Sorry! I typed that, then had a chat with someone and then posted it so cross posted with you OP!

Maybe its not Celsius and should be at 400?

Why haven’t you contacted the people from whom you are renting the holiday cottage? And / or google the info direct. Bizarre.

Does it have a number/name anywhere? So you can Google "lamona oven (number) manual"? Worked for me several times in holiday cottages!

My mum's Lamona oven takes a long time to heat up, we have to put it on a good 20 mins or more before putting in the food.
