THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENTS
The temperature in your new oven has been set cor­
rectly at the factory, so be sure to follow the recipe
temperatures and times the first few times you bake in
your new oven.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermom­
eters, such as those found in the grocery store, to
readjust the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers can vary by 20'’ - 40°F. Your oven
has been preset to maximize cooking efficiency.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can
adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the
temperature, set the oven temperature 25°F higher or
lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake.
The results of this "lest” should give you an Idea of how
much the temperature should be changed.
To adjust knob:
1. Turn OVEN SET KNOB to OFF and remove the knob
by pulling straight off.
2. Look at the back of the knob. The arrow pointing to
the center of the bottom screw indicates the original
factory setting.
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws about 2
turns each.
4. Hold the knob handle (A on illustration) while turning the
dlsk(Bon iilustration) inthedesired direct ion to increase
or d^rease the temperature. (See Illustration below fot
“Self-CleanThermostat”.) As you turn, you should be
able to hear clicks and feel notches or teeth. Each
click or notch is 15“F. You can turn up to 2 clicks or
notches in either direction.
5. When you reach the desired adjustment, retighten
both screws.
