USING YOUR OVEN
i'continuedi
The oven has five shelf
supports for normal
baking and roasting
identified in this
iiiustration as A
(bottom), B, C, D and E
(top). It also has a
special low shelf
position (R) for roasting
extra large items, such
as a large turkey—the
shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf
positions for cooking are suggested on Baking and
Roasting pages.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the
air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on
the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
Oven Light
(on some models)
The oven light comes on automatically when the door
is opened. Some models have a switch on the lower
control panel that allows you to turn the light on or off
when the door is closed.
Oven Temperature Adjustment

determines the average of the maximum and minimum
temperatures reached during the cycling of the oven
burner. The thermostat control in your new oven has
been carefully designed and manufactured to provide
accurate temperatures. If your new oven is replacing
one you have used for several years, you may notice
a difference in die degree of browning or the length of
time required when using your favorite recipes. This
is because oven temperature controls have a tendency
to “drift” over a period of years.
Before attempting to have the temperature of your
new oven changed, be sure you have carefully
followed the baking time and temperature
recommended by the recipe. Then, after you have used
the oven a few times and you feel the oven is too hot or
too cool, there is a simple adjustment you can make
yourself on the OVEN CONTROL knob.
Pull the 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 knob facing
you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand
and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.
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 10°F. (Range is
plus or minus 60°F. from the arrow.)
We suggest that you make the adjustment one click
from the originai setting and check oven performance
before making 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.
