Minor Adjustments You Can Make
Oven Thermostat Adjustment
The thermostat control in your new oven has been carefully adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. However, if your new oven is replacing one you have used for several years, you may notice a difference in the degree of browning or the length of time required when using your favorite recipes° This is because oven temperature controls have a tendency to "drift" over a period of years..
Before attempting to have the thermostat of your new oven changed, be sure you have carefully followed
the baking time and temperature recommended by the recipe.. Then, after you have used the oven a few times and you feel the oven is too hot or too cool,
there is a simple adjustment you can make yourself on the OVEN TEMP knob.
Pull the knob off the shaft and took at the back sider There is a disc in the center of the knob skirt with a
pointer opposite one of the screws.
To make an adjustment, carefully loosen (approxi-
mately one turn), but do not completely remove the two screws that hold the skirt to the knob. Hold the
knob blade in one hand and the outer skirt in the other hand.
To raise the oven temperature, move the screw oppo- site the pointer toward the word HOTTER.. You'll hear a click for each notch you move the knob. To lower the
temperature, move the screw opposite the pointer toward the word COOLER. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°E (Range is plus or minus 60 ° from the arrow.)
We suggest that you make the adjustment one click from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments..
After the adjustment is made, press skirt and knob together and retighten screws so they are snug, but be careful not to overtighteno
