The temperaturecontrol in your
newovenhas been carefi~y adjusted
to provideaccurate temperatures.
However,if this oven has replaced
one you haveused for severalyears,
you may notice a differencein the
degree of browning or the length of
time required when using your
favoriterecipes. Oven temperature
controlshave a tendencyto "drift"
over a period of years and since
this drift is very gradual, it is not
readily noticed. Therefore, you
may havebecome accustomed to
your previous oven which may
haveprovided a higher or lower
temperature than you selected.
Before attempting to have the
temperature of your new oven
changed, be sure you have followed
the baking time and temperature of
the recipe carefuliy. Then, afier
you have used the oven a few times
and you feel the oven is too hot
or too cool, there is a simple
adjustment you can make yourself
on the OVEN TEMP knob.
Pull the knob off the control shafi
and look at the back side. There is
a disc in the center of the knob skirt
with a series of marks opposite a
pointer.
Loosen only the
locking screws
Note to which mark the pointer is
pointing. To makean adjustment,
carefullyloosen (approximately
one turn), but do not completely
removethe two screwsthat hold the
skirt to the knob. Hold the knob
blade in one hand and the outer
skirt in the other hand.
To raise the oven temperature,
movethe pointer in the direction of
the arrow for RAISE. To lowerthe
temperature, movethe pointer in
the direction of arrow for LOWER.
Each mark will changethe oven
temperature approximately20°F.
We suggestthat you make the
adjustment one mark from the
original setting and check oven
performance before making any
additional adjustments.
After the adjustmentis made,
press skirt and knob together and
retighten screws so they are snug,
but be carefil not to overtighten.
Re-installknob on range and
check performance.
Note: After an adjustment has
been made, the OFF and BROIL
positions will not line up with
the indicator mark on the control
panel as they previously did. This
condition is normal and will not
create a problem.
