The temperaturecontrol in your newovenhas been carefi~y adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. However,if this oven has replaced one you haveused for severalyears, you may notice a differencein the degree of browning or the length of time required when using your favoriterecipes. Oven temperature controls have a tendencyto “drift” over a period of years and since this drift is very gradual, it is not readily noticed. Therefore, you may havebecome accustomed to your previous oven which may haveprovided a higher or lower temperature than you selected.
Before attempting to have the temperature of your new oven changed, be sure you have followed the baking time and temperature of the recipe carefuliy. Then, afier you have used the oven a few times and you feel the oven is too hot
or too cool, there is a simple adjustment you can make yourself on the OVEN TEMP knob.
Pull the knob off the control shafi and look at the back side. There is a disc in the center of the knob skirt with a series of marks opposite a pointer.
Loosen only the locking screws
Note to which mark the pointer is pointing. To makean adjustment, carefullyloosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely removethe two screwsthat hold the skirt to the knob. Hold the knob blade in one hand and the outer skirt in the other hand.
To raise the oven temperature, movethe pointer in the direction of the arrow for RAISE. To lowerthe temperature, movethe pointer in the direction of arrow for LOWER. Each mark will changethe oven temperature approximately20°F.
We suggestthat you make the adjustment one mark from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, press skirt and knob together and retighten screws so they are snug, but be carefil not to overtighten.
Note: After an adjustment has been made, the OFF and BROIL positions will not line up with the indicator mark on the control panel as they previously did. This condition is normal and will not create a problem.
