w00t! Once again we are Smegging Smegheads!
Thanks to Freecycle... they claimed this oven was working fine, but it intermittently tripped out our RCD. So I suspect it was on Freecycle for... alterior motives (easy disposal). It *appears* to be the case that the fault was simply this dead bulb jammed in the socket with bent pins... we replaced it and the oven has now successfully heated to 200°C and maintained that whilst opening and closing doors without the RCD tripping. 💡 I am not yet 100% convinced as the fault was intermittent and I have too little data to be sure.
We shall test it out with a couple of simple bakes today, probably oven chips 🍟 and maybe this zucchini recipe recently posted by

If it passes then perhaps tomorrow we shall celebrate with a pizza night. This oven even has a pizza mode. 🍕
