Oops....used the wrong word

I finally saw our landlords after they have been on vacation all summer.  The sisters oven hasn't worked all summer so I was happy to see our common landlords and tell them about the oven.  Paul wasn't with me so I blundered along in my poor Italian.  Unfortunately I used the wrong word.  Instead of saying, " il furno non è funziona"  i used the wrong word for oven. I said, "inferno" which means hell instead of furno.  No wonder Quinto looked at me with a puzzled look when I told him that the hell does not work at the sisters apartment.
