IKEA/Whirlpool control decals

[asciiqwerty]

Hi, I’ve just bought a reposessed house (so no manuals) which has an IKEA/whirelpool oven fitted in the kitchen.

I’ve collected various numbers from inside the door, but i’m not sure which ones are relevant:
854147815010
140220016238
OBI 116S

It has four control knobs, none of which have any markings left, they have all worn off.

How can I find out what each button does and replace the markings?

I contacted IKEA, who sais that they could only help with current ovens.
and whirlpool customer support sent me back to ikea.

I would like to be able to use the oven safely, but I will need to know what each knob does first,

Please help.

It looks as if it’s a fair age and there’s no instructions available. But, from looking at the parts diagram I think that, from right to left, you have…

Function switch/changeover
Oven thermostat
Grill regulator
Minute minder/clock thingy

The only way to get the decals back (they’ll have been worn away by cleaning) is to replace the control panel, which costs the best part of £100!

Thanks kwatt for your input – I would be greatful if you could tell me where I might find a parts diagram for it.

I have now managed to find a product description sheet with a diagram that matches the layout.

it lists from left to right:
Oven Programmer (timmer)
Variable Grill selector knob
Oven Thermostat knob
Oven Functions selector knob

If I could find out:
– what length of time is programmable
– how many grill settings there are
– what range of temperatures are possible
– what functions there are and what order they appear on the dial in

then i might be able to put some markings on myself – does anyone have access to one of these? if so could you take a picture of the facia?

otherwise if I did need to replace the facia where would I get one?

Thanks

Hi,
No-one has stock of that panel, it’s a special order only part as it’s only used on that one model so far as I can see. We can order it but it’s a non-cancelable item. 😕

I’ve no clue what the functions of each switch are, a parts diagram is just a line drawing of the outlines of the machine, no more info on function. Scroll down a bit on this page and you’ll see the sort of thing I mean.

No instruction manual is listed.
