Adjusting Oven Thermostat
The temperature control in your
new oven has been carefully adjusted
to provide accurate temperatures.
However, if this oven has replaced
one you have used for several years,
you may notice a difference in the
degree of browning or the length of
time required when using your
favorite recipes 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 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
Note position of
pointer to marks
before adjustment
1. 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 series of marks opposite a
pointer.
Note to which mark the pointer is
pointing. To make an adjustment,
carefully loosen (approximately one
turn), but do not completely remove
the two screws that hold the skirt to
the knob. Hold the knob blade in
one hand and the outer skirt in the
other hand.
2. To raise the oven temperature,
move the pointer in the direction of
the arrow for RAISE. To lower the
temperature, move the pointer in
the direction of the arrow for
LOWER. Each mark will change
the oven temperature approximately
We suggest that you make the
adjustment one mark from the
original setting and check oven
performance before making any
additional adjustments.
3. After the adjustment is made,
press skirt and knob together and
but be careful not to overtighten.
Reinstall knob on range and check
performance. Be sure to match
"D" shaft on knob to stem when
replacing.
Note: After an adjustment has been
made to the OVEN TEMP knob,
OFF and BROIL 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.
