Adjustment
The temperaturecontrol in your
new ovenhas beencarefullyadjusted
to provideaccurate temperatures.
However,if this oven has replaced
one you haveused for severalyears,
you may notice a differencein the
degree
of
browningor the length of
time required when usingyour
favoriterecipes. Oven temperature
controls havea tendencyto "drifi"
overa period of years and since
this drifi is very gradual, it is not
readily noticed. Therefore, you
may havebecome accustomedto
your previousoven which may
haveprovideda higher or lower
temperature than you selected.
Before attemptingto havethe
temperature of your new oven
changed, be sure you have followed
the baking time and temperature of
the recipe carefully. Then, after
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 shaft
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
locking
G Note position of
pointer to marl(s
before adjustment
only the
scre~vs
Note to which mark the pointer is
pointing.To make an 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 oventemperature,
movethe pointer in the direction of
the arrow for RAISE. To lower the
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 ad~ustmentis made,
press skirt a;d knob together-and
retighten screws so they are snug,
but be careful not to overtighten.

been made, the OFF and BROIL

condition is normal and will not
create a problem.
