The temperaturecontrolin yournew
$~~oven has been carefully adjusted
ggj;$$;$
'~== to provide accurate temperatures.
However, if your new oven is
replacing one you have used for
several years, you may notice a
differencein the degreeof browning
or the length of time required when
using your favorite recipes. This is
because oven temperature controls
have a tendency to "drift" over a
period of years.
Before attempting to have the
temperature of your new oven
changed, be sure you have
carefully followed the baking time
and temperature recommended by
the recipe.Then, after you haveused
the oven a few times and you feel
the oven is too hot or too cool, there
is a simpleadjustmentyou can make
yourself on the OVEN TEMP knob.
Pull the knob off the shaft and look
at the back side. There is a disc in
the
Center
of the knob skirt with a
pointer opposite one of the screws.

To make an adjustment, carefully
loosen (approximately one turn),
but do not completely remove, the

one hand and the outer skirf in the
other hand.

Each click will change the oven
temperatureapproximately 10°F.
(Range is plus or minus 60° from
the arrow.)
We suggest that you make the

performance before making any
additional adjustments.

Broil andBottom Burner
Air
Adjwtment Shutters
Air adjustment shutters for the top
(broil) and bottom burners regulate
the flow of air to the flames.
,
The shutter for the bottom burner
is near the back wall behind the
storage drawer.
To
adjust
the flcaw
of air
t o
either
burner', loosen the Phillips head
screw and rotate the shutter to
allow more or less air into the
burner tube as needed.
The
names for
the
top
(broil)
burner should bum steady with
approximately 1"blue cones and
should not extend out over the
edges of the burner ba~e.
To determine if the
bottom
burner
names
are proper,
remove the oven bottom and
the burner baffle (on models so
equipped).
The air adjustment shutter for
the top (broil) burner is in the
center of the rear wall of the oven.
