Adjusting the oven temperat
re control
Oven temperature controls will gradually shift
after years of use. So, even though your new
oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate
temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than
your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of time, you
are not satisfied with the temperature settings,
you can change them by following these steps:
1. Turn the Thermostat to the off position. Pull
knob straight off and flip it over.
2. Loosen the locking screws inside the control
knob. Note the position of the notches.
3. To lower the temperature, hold knob handle
firmly and move the tooth a notch closer to LO.
Each notch equals about 10°F (5°C).
4. To raise the temperature, hold knob handle
firmly and move the tooth a notch closer to HI.
Each notch equals about 10°F (5°C).
Tighten the locking screws and replace the
control knob.

(7.4 cm) away from the broil element. See
"Broiling chart" on page 14.

3. Close the door to the Broil Stop position
(open about 4 inches [lo.2 cm]). The door
will stay open by itself.

BROIL. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light
will come on.
NOTE: Preheating broiler is suggested
when searing rare beef steaks.
5. When broiling is done, turn both the Oven
Selector and Thermostat to OFF. The OVEN
HEATING Indicator Light will go off.
