Adjust the Oven
It urse
You may feel that your new oven cool_s differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler.
If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to
make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of thermometers,
such as those found in grocery stores, to check the
temperature setting of your new oven. These
thermometers may vary 20-40°E (I 1-22°C.).
To Adjust the Thermostat:
Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range and look at
the back side.
To make adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn),
but do not completely remove, the two screws on the
back of the knob. With the back of the lmob facing
you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand
and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

(appearance may vary)
To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw
toward the right. You'll hear a click for each notch you
move the knob. To lower the temperature, move the
top screw toward the left. Each click will change the
oven temperature approximately I0°E (60C.).
[Range is plus or minus 60°E
(33°C.) from the
arrow.]
We suggest that you make the adjustment one click
from the original setting and check oven performance
before maldng any additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they
are snug, but be careful not to overtighten. Reinstall
knob on range and check performance.
Air Adjustment Shutter
for Oven Burners
The air adjustment shutter for the bottom burner
regulates the flow of air to the flames.
See the Installation Instructions of this manual for
instructions for location and proper adjustment of
the shutter.
