Safety Instructions

Using the oven for 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. Roasting is easy; just follow these directions:

and Cleaning Operating Instructions

Place the shelf in the A or B position.

How to Set the Oven For Roasting

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

Check the weight of the meat. Place it fat side up (or for poultry, breast- side-up) on a roasting rack in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. Line the pan with aluminum foil when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking.

Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired setting.

After roasting is complete, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

Installation Instructions Care

Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40°F.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

Back of OVEN TEMP knob

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

To make an adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two 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 increase the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You’ll hear a click for each notch you move the knob.

To decrease the oven 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 one click from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments.

After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten.

Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft, and check performance.
