Q: Why do the cooking plates and the oven turn on and off at the same time?

The behavior you describe is perfectly normal for this TRISTAR OV1415 oven. Here’s why: Electrical operation of the oven The TRISTAR OV1415 is a single-phase electric appliance (220-240V AC 50Hz) that activates its heating elements according to the mode selected via the cooking position selector (button no. 4) . This selector offers three modes: Upper heat (top element) Lower heat (bottom element) Both elements simultaneously When you turn on the oven, all heating elements of the selected mode light up together on the same electrical circuit. Similarly, when you turn off the oven, all these elements turn off simultaneously. This is normal electrical behavior Unlike some ovens that may have independent controls, the TRISTAR OV1415 integrates its heating elements (plates and cavity) on a single system activated/deactivated by the main switch of the appliance. This is by design - it ensures better thermal and electrical safety. If you wish to use only certain elements (for example, only the bottom heating), use the cooking position selector (no. 4) to choose the desired mode.
