To Adjust the Thermostat:
1. Pull the Oven Temp knob off the range and look
at the back side. To make an adjustment, loosen
(approximately one turn), but do not completely
remove, the two screws on the back of the knob.
2.
With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer
edge of the knob with one hand and with the other
hand rotate the skirt.
Rotate the skirt counterclockwise to increase and
clockwise to decrease the oven temperature. You'll
hear a click for each notch you move the knob.

Sabbath Mode

Certain models comply with Jewish Sabbath requirements for use during the Sabbath and holidays.
Start Baking
To start baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the
desired temperature. Because a thermostat model will
respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob
is used to turn on the oven, this operation should take
place before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.
Adjusting the Temperature
To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with
Sabbath requirements, the user must observe the oven
ON indicator light:
■ T o adjust the oven temperature to a higher value,
the user must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is
on. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a higher
temperature than was previously set.
■ T o adjust the oven temperature to a lower value, the user
must first confirm the "OVEN ON" light is off. Only then,
can the user turn the knob to a lower temperature than
was previously set.

TEMP
Each click will change the oven temperature
approximately 10°F. (Range is plus or minus
30°F 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.

3.
After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so
they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten.
4.
Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob
to the shaft, and check performance.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in
grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your
oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.
Stop Baking
To stop baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the off
position. Because a thermostat model will respond with a
clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn
off the oven, this operation should take place after the
Sabbath or Holidays end.
Oven Light Operation (on some models)
The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the
start of the Sabbath or the holiday. Opening and closing
of the door will not change the state of the oven light.
Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note
If a power outage occurs during a Sabbath bake, the unit
will return to Sabbath bake mode when power is restored
and the oven will return to the same temperature as
before the outage, without any intervention from the user.
