Thermostat Adj Ustment - Hotpoint RGB540SEP - 30 in. Gas Range Owner's Manual

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself! GEApplionces.c
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-/40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures.

To Adjust the Thermostat
%
Pull the OVENCONTROLknob off the range
and look at the back side. To make an
adjustment, loosen (approximately one
turn), but do not completely remove, the
two screws on the back of the knob.
[]
With the back of the knob facing you, hold
the outer edge of the knob with one hand
and turn the front of the knob with the
other hand.
To raise the oven temperature, move the
top screw toward the right. You'll hear a
click for each notch you move the knob.
To lower the temperature, move the top
screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven temperature
approximately IO°F.(Rangeis -- 60°F.from
the arrow.)We suggest that you make the
adjustment one click from the original setting
and check oven performance before making
any additional adjustments.
[] After the adjustment is made, retighten
screws so they are snug, but be careful not
to overtighten.
[_] Re-install knob on range and check
performance.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content
of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
