Using this Prodigy oven thermostat and switch is easy. First, make sure your oven is turned off and unplugged. Locate the old thermostat and switch in your oven and carefully remove them. Then, install the new Prodigy thermostat and switch in the same place. Connect the wires to the 6.4mm spade terminals, following the same pattern as the old ones. When using the switch, choose the appropriate position according to your cooking needs. Position 0 turns the oven off. For different heat settings and functions, use the other positions as described. As for maintenance, keep the thermostat and switch clean. You can use a dry cloth to wipe them down occasionally. If you notice any signs of damage or if the oven isn't working properly, stop using it immediately and check the connections. Don't try to repair it yourself if you're not experienced. Instead, contact a professional. And remember, since the switch and thermostat can be separated, if only one part fails, you can replace just that part.
