ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler.

If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

1.Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the shaft, look

at the back of the knob and note the current setting before making any adjustments.

2.Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.

3.To increase the oven temperature, move the pointer 1 notch toward the words “MAKE HOTTER”.

To decrease the oven temperature, turn the pointer 1 notch toward the words “MAKE COOLER”.

Each notch changes the temperature by 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

4.Tighten the screws.

5.Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft.

ROASTING

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.)

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. The standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about

5° to 10”F.; to compensate for the temperature rise, if desired, remove roast from the oven sooner

(at 5° to 10”F. less than the temperature in the guide).

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

1.Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

2.Check the weight of the meat. Place it fat-side-up (or poultry breast side- up), on a roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select

a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

3.Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the temperature you desire.

4.After roasting is complete, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF.
