Okay, now that I have begun to become a cook once again, I found a Farberware Convection Oven Model T4800 back in my closet.

I may have used it 5 times in 20 years.

I DO NOT HAVE THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

I have been online and I have no idea how to find this.

Anyone know?

Thanks much

Melody

I did a search for you Mel, and the only references I found for this model were all or the same thing...... user manual wanted!

Maybe you could phone, or write to the company that made the oven, and ask for a copy of the instructions?

FOUND IT!!!! YEAH, I'M GOOD.

DOWNLOADED IT TO MY COMPUTER

THANKS SO MUCH FOR TRYING TO HELP

Melody

I'm downloading it also -so if the above doesn't work i can get your email and send it all as a file to you later.

HI. Good morning to you all.

You downloaded this also? wow, you are one sweet person.

I need to get a new cartridge for my printer but until then, this maual is in my 'my documents' folder.

You should have seen my face when I watched it download. I said "nah, it can't be this easy". And there it was. Froze my computer so I had to re-start but who cares?

I HAVE A CONVECTION OVEN AND NOW I CAN COOK!!!


AND COOK I SHALL DO!!!

lol

Thanks very much And don't delete the manual. You never know with me and computers and printers.

lol Melody

Melody, I'm glad ppl found it for you. As I read your post I thought 'I'll go look online'. I went online & found mine. I never used the self-cleaning & wanted to know what I should do.

Hmmm, I saw your title and just thought, "This woman doesn't know how to bake!"

Glad you figured it out.

hmmmmm Twinkletoes, Do you think she knows how to boil water for tea?

I was really wondering that!

You guys can make fun of me all you like. I NOW HAVE A FARBERWARE CONVECTION OVEN AND IT WORKS JUST FINE.

Tonight I made Spinach bites. They cooked up in 12 minutes.

But something happened and I want to run it by all of you.

I would never operate a microwave at the same time as anything else plugged into that power strip.

I have two things plugged into a power strip (and the strip has an off/on thingee and also a black button thingee.

So I had no other place to plug in the Farberware so I plugged it into the power strip.

And because I know not to operate these two things simultaneously, I thought "what could happen?"

So after I used the Farberware, I shut it off, and then I had to heat something up so I used the micro for one minute. Everything worked just fine.

I went out to a friend's house, came back home and decided to make some toast with a cup of coffee. I turned on the Faberware and nothing happened. I said "uh oh".

I then opened up the micro and there was no light. I immediately looked at the power strip BUT THE ON OFF SWITCH WAS STILL SWITCHED TO ON.

So I didn't break the circuit (or so I thought).

So I said 'oh my god, don't tell me the outlet broke".

the only way to tell was to plug something else into it and it worked fine.

So I said to myself "Okay, the outlet works just fine, it has to be the power strip".

Since I don't have any other power strip (or whatever these things are called, you know the thing with 5 outlets, and you can plug in more than one appliance)...

So I took my good heavy duty extension cord, and one by one, tested both the micro and the Farberware.

BOTH WORKED FINE.

So again, I said "it's the power strip, but why is the on/off switch still turned to on".

Then I looked closer and the little black button thingee was popped out.

So I said "now how on earth did that thing pop out?" One hour earlier I operated both appliances at different times and everything worked.

I'm thinking "well, I jumped the circuit breaker, maybe that is what the black button is (the circuit breaker???)

So I'm thinking, "maybe when I was handling it, I accidentally pressed the black button thing and it popped out and I didn't realize it?"

Because earlier everything worked fine, power strip, micro, Farberware. ALL WORKED FINE.

So what did I do?

I took the power strip, I plugged it back into the wall outlet, I depressed the black button thingee (the on/off switch was already turned to "on") and then I plugged in the microwave.

On came the light. It worked.

then I unplugged the microwave from the power strip, and I plugged in the Farberware. WORKED PERFECTLY.

So ....just in case, I am leaving the microwave plug OUT OF THE POWER STRIP. I only have the Farberware plug plugged into the power strip.

And in case I have to use the microwave, I'll just unplug the Farberware and re-plug the microwave.

I just wanted it to be fairly simple and have both appliances plugged into the power strip.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I am going to buy a better Power Strip tomorrow, this one has been around FOR YEARS.

I want to have a power strip with circuit breakers so that I can plug in both appliances and leave them both plugged in (but I will only use one at a time).

Do any of you have more than one appliances plugged into a power strip? Is there a special Power Strip I can get just so I can be sure I don't ever trip any of the circuit breakers in the basement?

thanks much

Melody
