knob?
I want to explain my oven, but I don't know how can I say.
It's a kind of handle and I can set the time by turning it.
Is this sentence correct? I mean, do you understand it? Or how can I change the word?
'You just have to set the time and temperature by adjusting each knob.'

Hi Sunny,
Yes, you are right in using the word "knob". A knob is a protrusion found in a variety of items, from ovens to control panels in aeroplane cockpits, to allow a user to select different modes of operation or operate a system. A knob is operated by turning it clockwise or anti-clockwise. Knobs are usually circular though fancier ones may be elliptical or spherical.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Lance

In this case you can also you use "dial", but "knob" is easily understood as well!
