Oven Vents
The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the
•The vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot. Do not touch them.
•Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.
•Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
•Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop and could cause burns.
•Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
Oven Shut-Off and Electrical Disconnect
The pressure regulator (on the range back) contains a lever which turns on or shuts off the gas supply of the oven. The lever is accessible from the front of the range by removing the kick panel and reaching the range back. See the Installation Instructions for more information.

Using Your
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
To adjust the thermostat:
1.Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF and remove the knob by pulling it straight off.
2.Look at the back of the knob. The arrow pointing to the center of the upper screw indicates the original factory setting. The knob can be adjusted up to 50°F. hotter or 50°F. cooler, in 10° increments.
3.Use a screwdriver to loosen the 2 screws about 1 turn each.
4.Hold the knob handle (A on the illustration) while turning the knob skirt (B on the illustration) in the desired direction. As you turn, you should be able to hear clicks and feel the notches or teeth. Each click or notch is 10°F. You can turn up to 5 clicks or notches in either direction.
5.When you reach the desired adjustment, retighten both screws.

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.
