Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does it smell like paint or chemicals when I use my oven for the first time?

A: This smell comes from residue left over from the manufacturing process burning off. Open windows and doors for proper ventilation and run the oven empty for at least 45 minutes before first use.

Q: Why does my oven flame stay on during the entire cooking cycle?

A: Cosmo gas ovens use a manual spark ignition with no auto-reignition. The flame remains on until the oven is turned off. During baking, the flame size will adjust to maintain the temperature within 20–30 degrees of the set temperature.

Q: How can I tell when my oven has been preheated to the selected temperature?

A: There is no built-in indicator for preheating. Use a standard oven thermometer inside the oven to monitor when it reaches the set temperature. Preheating typically takes 10–20 minutes, depending on the temperature setting.

Q: How do I set the clock on my range?

A: Press the center button below the display until the bar above the Clock icon lights up. Then use the right (+) and left (–) buttons to set the correct time. The clock cannot be set while a cooking end time is active.

Q: How do I set the timer on my range?

A: The countdown timer can be set for up to 12 hours and 59 minutes. Press the center function button repeatedly until the bar above the bell icon is displayed. Use the left and right buttons to set the desired time. After a few seconds of inactivity, the timer will start automatically.
