Adjusting the oven temperature control
Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of your old oven may have shifted gradually without you noticing the change. Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But, when compared to your old oven, the new design may give you different results.
If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:
1.Turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob to the off position. Pull knob straight off and flip it over.
2.Loosen the locking screws inside the control knob. Note the position of the notches.
3.To lower the temperature, hold knob handle firmly and move the tooth a notch counter- clockwise. Each notch equals about 1O’F (5%).
4.To ralae the temperature, hold knob handle firmly and move the tooth a notch clockwise. Each notch equals about 1O’F (5°C).
Tighten the locking screws and replace the control knob.
Broiling
1.Position the rack properly before turning on the oven. The oven rack should be positioned so that the surface of the food is at least 3 inches (7.4 cm) away from the broil element. See “Broilingrack position chart” on page 13.
2.Put the broiler pan and food on the rack
3.Close the door to the Broil Stop position (open about 4 inches [lo.2 cm]). The door will stay open by itself.
4.Set the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control Knob to BROIL. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light will come on.
NOTE: Do not preheat oven when broiling.
5.When broiling is done, turn both the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control Knob to OFF. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light will go off.
