You might want to broil some foods slower than others. Broiling
can be slowed down by setting a lower temperature on the Oven Temper-
ature Control Knob instead of "BROIL."
Using a lower temperature will
cause the broil element to turn on and off during the broiling so that the
food broils more slowly.
When the Oven Temperature Control Knob is on "BROIL,"
the
Broil Element heats all the time. Set the temperature lower and it heats
some of the time. The lower the temperature setting, the shorter are the
periods of heating.
NOTE: The Oven Selector must be on BROIL and the door
must be partly open for all broiling temperatures.
Resetting the Oven Temperature Control Knob:
Does your new oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven?
The temperatures in older ovens often shift very gradually, getting hotter
or colder without the user really noticing the change. Your new oven is
properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, but when compared
to your old range, the new design may give you different baking results. If
you think that the temperature setting on your range needs to be hotter or
colder, you can adjust the Temperature Control Knob by yourself.
To adjust the setting, first pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob
straight off. On the back, just across from the locking screw, are a row of
notches on the black part of the knob and one tooth on the chrome part.
To set your oven about 10"F(5"C) cooler, loosen the locking screw
about two full turns and move the row of notches one notch closer to
"LO."
To set your oven about lO"F(5"C) warmer,
move the row of
notches one notch closer to "HI." Each notch equals about 10"F(5"C).
