Adjusting the oven temperature control

Oven temperature controls will gradually shift after years of use. So, even though your new oven is propery adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can change them by following these steps:

1.Turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob to the off position. Pull knob straight off and flip it over.
