You might want to broil some foods slower than others. Broiling
can be slowed down by setting a lower temperature
on the Oven Temper-
ature Control
Knob instead of "BROIL."
Using a lower temperature
will
cause the broil element
to turn on and off during the broiling
so that the
food broils more slowly.
When the Oven Temperature
Control
Knob is on "BROIL,"
the
Broil Element
heats all the time. Set the temperature
lower and it heats
some of the time. The lower the temperature
setting, the shorter are the
periods of heating.
NOTE:
The Oven Selector
must be on BROIL
and the door
must be partly
open for all broiling
temperatures.
Resetting
the oven temperature
control:
Does your new oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven?
The temperatures
in older ovens often shift very gradually,
getting
hotter
or colder without
the user really noticing
the change,
Your new oven is
properly
adjusted
to provide
accurate temperatures,
but when compared
to your old range, the new design may give you different
baking results. If
you think that the temperature
setting on your range needs to be hotter or
colder, you can adjust the Oven Temperature
Control
Knob by yourself.
To adjust the setting, first pull the Oven Temperature
Control
Knob
straight off. On the back, just across from the locking screw, are a row of
notches on the black part of the knob and one tooth on the chrome part.
To set your oven about lO"F(5"C)
cooler,
loosen the locking screw
about two full turns and move the row of notches one notch
closer to
"LO."
To set your oven about
lO"F(5"C)
warmer,
move
the row of
notches one notch closer to "HI."
Each notch equals about lO"F(5"C).
Tighten
the
locking
screw
and
put
the
knob
back
on
the
control
panel.
