New oven confusing the hell out of me!!

[kezza]

I have just had major renovations to my home, including a new kitchen and Smeg oven which I was so excited to start using.  I had less trouble working out the Thermomix than I have had with this oven. I'm just cooking some meatballs which I mixed together in Thermomix and popped them in the oven, but it keeps turning off.  I know it's me, but I am so confused.  Will have to take myself off to a class to get it all sorted out.

I know exactly where you are coming from kezza, why can't they make it simple.  I have even called out a technician to my Miele because I couldn't get it to turn on - only to find out my 2 yr old grand-son had fiddled with it.  Too fandangled for me.  Hope you get it sorted.  To think I was frightened of my TMX when I got it, it is a breeze compared to modern appliances.

I know what you mean. I hardly got any instructions  - they were trying to keep things so basic that they actually provided too little information! I know my oven is probably capable of doing a lot more, but I keep it on the same oven diagram setting, and always put everything on the same shelf. I vary the temperature tho, and can time cooking - hey! I'm not so backward afterall.

OOOOh.  I have a friend who has a Smeg oven and had the same problem.  The thing was, she would open the oven door to check on whatever was cooking and when the door opens the oven switches off.

She joined a forum that is world-wide and asked a lot of questions and is now an expert on how the oven is used and how it behaves.
Unfortunately I can't get in touch with her right now as she and her husband are on a "second Honeymoon" and traveling in Spain for a month.

Here is one link that may answer some of your questions: Smeg Oven help

Thankyou Andie and everyone else that replied.  I have the name of a lovely lady in Sydney who I can talk to on Wednesday who replied to me when I emailed Smeg.  I have also booked myself into a class in Belmont where they take you through the Smeg ovens.  So I will get there in the end
