"DO IT YOURSELF"TEMPERATUREADJUSTMENT

You may feel that your new oven cooks

differently than the oven it replaced. We

recommend that you use your new oven a few

weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.

ffyou think your new oven is too hot (burning

foods) or not hot enough (foods are undercooked) you can adjust the temperature yourself. Theappearanceandtextureoffoods

is a better indicator of oven accuracy than an inexpensive thermometer, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature

settingofyournewoven. Thesethermometers

can vary by 20-40 degrees. In addition, the oven door must be opened to read these

thermometers. Opening the door will chat?ge the temperature of the oven.

To decide how much to change the

temperature, set the oven temperature 25 degrees higher (if foods are undercooked) or 25 degrees lower (if foods are burning) than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this "test" should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed.

4.Hold the knob handle (A on illustration) while

turning the disk (B on illustration) in the desired

direction to increase or decrease the

5.When you reach the desired adjustment, retighten both screws. Return the knob to the range.
