The heating element is going out already and my concernis that it's relatively new for having this problem.We turn the oven off before we leave for the day and then turn it back onthe following morning.I'm wondering if turning on/off would cause problems or it really doesn'tmatter.Do you keep your ovens on overnight or off?Thanks in advance.  It's greatly appreciated.PaulaBio-Path Medical Group_______________________________________________Histonet mailing listHistonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduhttp://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonetConfidentiality Notice ** The information contained in this message may be privileged and is confidential information intended for the use of the addressee listed above.
