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."

cause the broil element to turn on and off during the broiling so that the
food broils more slowly.

some of the time The lower the temperature setting. the shorter are the
periods of heating

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 Oven 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

about two full turns and move the row of notches

notches
one notch
closer to "HI." Each notch equals about lO'F(5"C).
