Adjust the Oven Thermostat--Do It Yoursel
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for 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 or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cootet:
If you think it is too coo!, adjust the thermostat to
make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40°E (i 1-22°C,).
To Adjust the Thermostat:
Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the range and
look at the back side_
To make adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn),
but do not completely remove, the two screws on the
back of the knob° With the back of the knob facing
you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand
and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.
(appearance may vary)
To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw
toward the right. You'll hear a click for each notch you
move the knob° To lower the temperature, move the
top screw toward the left. Each click will change the
oven temperature approximately 10°E (6°C.)o
[Range is plus or minus 60°E (33°C.) from the arrow.]
We suggest that you make the adjustment one click
from the original setting and check oven performance
before making any additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they
a_e snug, but be careful not to overtighten. Reinstall
knob on range and check performance,.
