I bought a new Continental (made by Bosch) at Ithsa for 2800 pesos. It's really nice. Has a good seal and thermostat. Only one shelf, though, as it
is the kind where the shelf comes out automatically when you open the door. I recommend it.

AND does it have a broiler? Several I looked at when considering a purchase didn't even have a broiler! You gotta really be careful and make sure what
you're buying has the features you expect/need.

Just do it!

On my tiny, cheapo Mabe oven/range the #3 setting for the oven is about 350°. I had to buy an oven thermometer because the manual doesn't say anything
about how the 1-5 correlates to oven temp.
Like Bob says, next time I'm shopping for a real oven I'll make sure to look for a seal around the door too. Without the seal it's like a blast
furnase around the door when the oven's on and it does a number on the cabinets. Not to mention the skin I leave on the nearby cabinet knobs if I
forget to let them cool off after baking.

Not necessarily. In most of the cheap units, like yours  , that's only for storage.
And if the oven has a pilot light, your lucky. Most of those you have to light the oven by hand, a sh*tty task for most people.

After maybe 15 years of doing that, I discovered that the manual did tell how to "map" the numbers to degrees

That the girl.
If everything else fails "look in the manual"

bif...
viking oven = $5000 usa
mexican oven = $231 usa
you got a good price
it just NOT the machine that you would expect if you purchased it in the USA
you will need a oven thermometer...and
dont trust the oven...watch the cabinets near the door
we did the same as you...now...we know

Bif,
No broiler in the Viking we have.
Bought a free standing salamander.
