Tom, I have had a digital oven for around 7 years and had no problems
with
it. I also have the clear bump dots things on bake, broil, temperature up
and temperature down and off and self-cleaning oven.
Mine has 350 degrees F. as its default, but you just lightly touch the up
or
down temperatures and it changes only! In five degree intervals! Never in
one degree incriments. I think it does wonders for making cakes and
cookies.
This might sound stupid, but my fear is using the self-clean feature! I
clean it the regular old-fashioned way and you can get Easy Off spray
oven
cleaner, but you have to look for the one marked for self-cleaning ovens.
My
self-clean feature does not have a lock on the oven. I have never chose
to
use it out of sheer fear; if any one has any tips, kindly send along to
convince me. Thanks, and hope this helped.
Sandy

Subject: [CnD] Digital Ovens
We now have a digital oven. My wife is sighted. She put special touch
dots
on the oven for bake, start, and a dot to identify where to cancel and
turn
off the oven is.
When the oven is heated to the proper temperature it beeps one long beep
to
let you know it is ready. The automatic temperature is 350 degrees, the
standard baking temperature for many recepes.
The oven beeps when a sighted person touches the temperature.
My problem is this. My wife called the local agency for the blind and
asked
one of the case workers how a sightless person such as myself can operate
a
digital oven. This case worker told my wife that digital ovens are too
difficult to operate. She told her that you could touch the temperature
control pannel too hard, and you might set the temperatures 5 degrees
instead of one degree.
I see where she is coming from to a point, but if you bake everything at
350
degrees, you are hampered because you have to double or triple the time
of
cooking.
Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated.
