Minor Adjustments You Can Make

..

-“OvenThermostat Adjustment

The temperature control in your

-new oven has been carefully adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. However, if this oven has replaced one you have used for several years, you may notice a difference in the degree of browning or the length of time required when using your favorite recipes. Oven temperature controls have a tendency t~ “drift” over a period of years and since this drift is very gradual, it is not readily noticed. Therefore, you may have become accustomed to your previous oven which may have provided 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 carefully. Then, after 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 shaft 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.

the direction of arrow for LOWER. Each mark will change the oven temperature approximately 2C)°F.

We suggest that’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 careful not to overtighten. Re-install knob on range and check performance.

Note: After an adjustment has been made to the OVEN TEMP knob, OFF and BROIL 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.

Adjustment

Repeated openings and closings can cause the oven door to work itself out of adjustment. One side may close higher than the other, and the door may not seal properly.

Note position of pointer to marks before adjustment

Note to which mark the pointer is pointing. To make an adjustment, carefully loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove the two screws that 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,

move the pointer in the direction of the arrow for RAISE. To lower the temperature, move the pointer in

2.With a thin-bladed screwdriver, turn the screw in the opening at the top of each door hinge. Turn cloctiise to lower, counterclockwise to raise each side of the door.

3.Replace the door, close it, and check alignment and door seal.

To determine if the burner flame is proper, light the burner. The flame should have 1/2” to 3/4” blue cones with no yellow tipping. When the baffle is back in place, the flame will resettle.
