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:
Broiling
1.Position the racks properly before turning on the oven. To change rack position, lift rack at front and pull out.
The racks should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1 l/2 to 2 inches
2.Set the Oven Selector to BAKE.
3.Set the Oven Temperature Control to the baking temperature you want. The Oven HEATING Signal Light will come on. The oven is preheated when the Oven HEATING Signal Light first goes off.
1.Pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob straight off.

Custom broil
lIf food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control counterclockwise until the Oven HEATING Signal Light goes off.
lIf you want food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature Control between 150°F and 325°F (65.5% and 162.7%). The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.
The Oven Selector must be on BROIL for all broiling temperatures.
NOTE: The door must be partly open whenever the oven is set to BROIL. Leaving the door open allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures.
