fratelli oven - bought one - need help

16 years ago

So I bought this 36" oven about a month ago. It is beautiful and the burners are great, easy to clean and produce plenty of heat. The oven is a complete mystery. Everything I put in it doesn't cook right. Nachos - dried out cheese that won't melt. Cookies that are crispy when they come out and then turn to mush. Bread that won't bake properly. It seems to take forever for the oven to warm up and then I don't think it is actually hot enough. Have never seen the broiler turn red on broil. I am completely confused - any answers?

Dual fuel? Your own oven thermometer or digital meat thermometer probe hanging from oven rack confirms selected temperature being reached?

When posting a question about an appliance, try to include the brand, type of appliance and model number.

You may be hooked up to the wrong voltage

I think the Fratellis are dual fuel. Interesting suggestion above about the wrong voltage. I guess that sure would explain the poor performance. It would be great news if the fix is that easy!
