Adjusting Oven Thermostat

Use time given on recipe when cooking for first time. Oven thermostats may “drift” from the factory setting over the years, and

5to 10-minute differences in timing between an old and a new oven are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accurate than the oven which it replaced. However, if you find that y~ur foods consistentl~ brown too little or too much, you may make a simple adjustment in the OVEN TEMP thermostat knob.

PULL KNOB OFF SHAFT. LOOK AT BACK OF KNOB AND N~E CURRENT SETTING BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENT.

To increase temperature, turn toward HI; to decrease, turn toward LO. Each notch changes temperature 10”F.

Follow appropriate instructions at right to adjust your oven thermostat.

1.Remove knob, and hold so pointer is at top of knob. Using a potholder or similar material, hold “skirt” of knob firmly in one hand. Grasp handle of knob in other hand. Note position of pointer and turn handle to move pointer toward word RAISE or LOWER. Pointer is designed not to move easily. If it is seated so it is difficult to move, pointer may be loosened slightly. Insert a thin screwdriver, knife blade or similar instrument and lift up end of pointer slightly.

2.After adjustment is made, press pointer firmly against knob. Return knob to range, matching flat area on knob and shaft.

Recheck oven performance before making an additional adjustment.
