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.
If you think your new oven Is too hot (burnlng foods) or
not hot enough (foods are under-cooked) you can adjust
the temperature
yourself. The appearance and ;exture
of foods are better Indicators of oven accuracy than
Inexpensive oven thermometers, such as those found In
;he grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of
your new oven.
These thermometers
can vary by 20-
40°F. In addition, the oven door must be opened to read
these thermometers.
Opening the door will change the
temperature
of the oven.
3. Use a screwdrlver to carefully
loosen both screws.
4. To make your oven temperature HOTTER, hold the
knob by the handle and turn the knob skirt so t he top
screw moves toward the word hotter° As you turn the
skirt you will hear clicks and feel notches or teeth.
Each click or notch will adjust the temperature 15°F
#
hotter.

TOWARD HOTTER
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F lower (If foods are burning) than
the temperature In your recipe, then bake. The result of
this "test"
should give you an Idea of how much the
temperature
should be changed.
TO MAKE THE TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT:
1. Make sure the oven control knob Is In the OFF
[_osltlon. Remove the knob by pulling It straight off.
2. Look at the back of the knob.
The pointer In the
center Indicates the orlglnal temperature setting.

5. To make your oven temperature COOLER, hold the

top screw moves toward the word cooler. As you
turn the skirt you will hear clicks and feel notches or
teeth. Each click or notch will adjust the temperature
15°F cooler.
