Numbers rubbed off Diplomat ADP3640 oven

Hello -

Please double check for the model number. It will probably be on a small metal plaque on an edge of the oven door, along the outer edge of the oven opening, or in the oven interior. It could also be on the top of the oven and covered by cabinetry.

Undo the screws that hold the oven in and slide it out 6 inches. You may then find the metal plaque on the top of the oven. You may need the help of another person when you try to pull the oven out, so that the oven does not tilt forward and fall to the floor.

You MAY be able to identify your model of Diplomat oven from one of the images of Diplomat oven control panels here:

You may find the image of Diplomat oven knob markings here helpful:

Scroll down that page to the post dated 14-12-14 from pslewis333 to see the image.

Once you know which model of Diplomat oven you have, you may be able to find and purchase decals with the proper knob markings for your oven so that you can affix the decals around your oven knobs. Or, you could use heat resistant paint and a small, pointed paint brush to paint the markings on your oven. With either option, I suggest you seal the markings with a heat resistant clear sealant so that cleaning / scrubbing will not erase the markings.

Best wishes.

Hi Tracey
You can buy new ones from ovenlettering.co.uk
I have used them they are very good.

Well, they don't sell stickers anymore but u could buy graffix art stickers numbers that are in different sizes and u could do it by urself!
When sticking those numbers, try to buy the CLEAR COAT paste spray, use by artist and architects, spray it on those stickers to have them laminated for life! Hope that helps u out!

On the 720EF the numbers are recessed behind a small glass panel, so I think you are not talking about the same unit. If all else fails, I suggest you buy an oven thermometer from say Lakeland - they are about 4 to 5 pounds and are good. Run the oven, making a note where the marker is and see what temperature the thermometer gives.
Failing that, run the oven with the thermometer in all the time and experiment to see what the control; knob is pointing at for any given temperature.

Here's a picture of the panel... BTW does anyone know the wiring / have a wiring diagram for the door switch as mine was swapped around by an oven guy just to get it running but now I have a new switch and can't remember how it all goes!!

Hi,

I have a manual for AHY3420, it's a very generic manual which covers different ovens. I am happy to send you a scanned copy if you send me an e-mail address.

I have the same oven and all the symbols have disappeared on the third dial (the one which switches on the oven), so I still haven't worked out which setting does what - I can just about make out a grill symbol, but that's about it. Is there any chance you could tell me what the symbols are on the 3rd dial?

Thanks very much.

You can buy the decals from Ovenlettering.co.uk they send you a sketch of the control panel so you know where to place each number.

OK I have just moved into an apartment with this model (SA 398 X/1) and was searching for a user guide (no luck yet).

Anyhow my apartment was owned by a bachelor and it looks as though he hardly used the oven so everything's still intact.

I'm in Australia and these numbers are in Celsius so I hope they work for you.

From top Right (starting at the 2 o'clock position) the four numbers going clockwise downwards are:

50
90
120
160

Then from the left side (starting at 7 o'clock position) going clockwise upwards:

200
230
250 - with dots arching above the 250

Hope this helps -

Jane
