Oven Vent; Adjusting The Oven Thermostat - GE JRS04GP Use And Care Manual

Oven Vent

When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent above the door
and below the grille.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block this vent.

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

Use the time given on a recipe when cooking the
first time. Oven thermostats, in time, may "drift"
from the factory setting and differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are
not unusual. If you find that your foods consistently
brown too little or too much, you may make a simple
adjustment in the thermostat (OVEN TEMP) knob.
Pull the knob off the shaft, look at the back of the
knob and note the current setting before making
any adjustment. The knob is factory set with the top
screw directly under the pointer.
