US~G YOUR OVEN

(continued)

Shelf Positions

The oven has 5 shelf supports for normal baking and roasting identified in this illustration as

A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such

as a larg= turkey—the% / / II shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested on the Baking and Roasting pages.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Oven Light (on some models)

The oven light comes on automatically when the door is opened. Some models have a switch on the lower control panel that allows you to turn the light on or off when the door is closed.

Do It Yourse~—Adjust the Oven Thermostat

If you don’t think the oven is heating at the right temperature when you are baking or roasting, you can reset the thermostat yourself.

When cooking food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide, Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and the differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven which it replaced.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in the grocery store, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by 2040 degrees.

To decide how much to change the temperature, set the oven temperature 25°F. higher or lower 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.

Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the range and look at the back side.

To make the adjustment, loosen (approximately 1 turn), but do not completely remove, the 2 screws on the back of the knob. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You’ll hear a click for each notch you move the knob. To lower the temperature, move the top screw toward the left. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is plus or minus 60°F. from the arrow.)

We suggest that you make the adjustment 1 click from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments.

After the adjustment is made, retighten the screws so they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten. Reinstall the knob on the range and check performance.
