How To Operate a Stove

First, it is a fancy stove.  It cost nearly 800.00 new from Lowe's.
Someone returned it saying it didn't work.  Lowe's marked it as
 "fixed" and marked it for sale at 340.00. Mr. Natural and I both love
a deal, so he bought it.  It sat in our living room (honest) a year before
we bought this house.  Something was wrong was with the plug in
connection.  We called the company that made the stove and they
sent the missing part and we were good to go--except for the manual--
which we could access online, but no physical copy.

We read over it briefly.  Thought we knew how to work it.  But no, not really.
But we muddled through it.  Until last night.  I was very tired.  His being sick
for so long and my chasing after the chickens had exhausted me and
affected my brain.  So tired I couldn't remember anything but essentials, like
meds, food, getting chickens in and out.  And I couldn't get stove to
turn on.  I reviewed the process.  Still, it wouldn't come on.  So I had
to call tech support--that being my daughter.  She was in Asheville--30
minutes away.  But she came.  She couldn't get it to work either.  But she
knew what to do.  Cut the breaker off and back on.  (Why didn't we
think of that? Maybe the shingles?  Or his gall bladder attack?)  25
minutes later I got to finally eat my Amy's organic vegetable pot pie.

Then my daughter called, laughing hysterically.  Seems I had activated
the child's locks on the stove.  I didn't even know  it had a child lock.
Now I do.  I must download at least a basic set of instructions,or we'll
never learn how to use it!

All for now
