TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than
the oven It replaced. We recommend that you use your
new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with It,
following the times given In your recipes as a guide.
tf you think your new oven is too hot (burning foods) or
not hot enough (foods are undercooked) you can adjust
the temperature yourself. The appearance and texture
of foods are better Indicators of oven accuracy than an
inexpensive oven thermometer. We do not recommend
the use of Inexpensive thermometers, such as those
found in grocery stores, to check the temperature set-
ting of your newoven. These thermometers can vary by
20-40 degrees. In addition, the oven door must be
opened to read these thermometers. Opening the door
will change the temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F higher (if foods are undercooked)
or 25°F lower (if foods are burning) than the temperature
in your recipe, then bake. The results of this "test"
should give you an idea of how much the temperature
should be changed.
To adjust knob:
1. Turn OVEN SET KNOB to OFF and remove the knob
by pulling straight off.
2° Look at the back of the knob. The arrow pointing to
the center of the bottom screw Indicates the original
factory setting.
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws about 2
turns each.
4. Hold the krmb handle (A _ Illustratlon)whUetumlngthe

"Self-CleanThemtostat.'3 As you turn, you should be
able to hear clicks and feel notches or teeth. Each
click or notch Is 15°F. You can turn up to 2 clicks or
notches In either direction.
5. When you reach the desired adjustment, retlghten
both screws.
