"DO-IT-YOURSELF"TB=MPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS

_ou may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the oven It replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given In your recipes as a guide.

I: you think your new oven Is too hot (burning foods) or not hot enough (foods are under-cooked) you can adjust the

temperature yourself. The appearance and texture of foods are better Indicators of oven accuracy than Inexpensive oven thermometers, such as those found In the grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven.

These thermometers can vary by 20-40°F. In addition, the oven door must be opened to read these thermometers. Opening the door will change the temperature of the oven.

To decide how much to change the temperature, set the oven temperature 25°F lower (if foods are burning) than the temperature in your recipe, then bake, The result of this "test" should give you an idea of how much the temperature

should be changed.

POINTER

TO MAKE THE "IrEMPERA'rURE ADJUSTMENT:

 

1.Make sure the oven control knob is in the "OFF" position. Remove the knob by punlng it straight off.

2.Look at the back of the knob. The pointer In the center indicates the original temperature setting.

3.Use a screwdriver to carefully loosen both screws.

4.To make your oven temperature HOTTER, hold the knob by the handle and turn the knob skirt so the top screw moves toward the word hotter. As you turn the skirt you will hear clicks and feel notches or teeth. Each click or n6tch will adjust the temperature 15°F hotter.

control knob to your range.
