Adjust the Oven Thermostat---Do It Yourself!
You may feel that your new oven cooks 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 inexpensive
thermometers,
such
as
those
found
in grocery
stores, to check
the temperature
setting
of your new
oven.
These
thermometers
may
vary
20-40°F
(11-22°C)_
To Adjust the Thermostat:
Pull the OVEN CONTROL
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,
(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
IO°F (6°C). [Range
is plus or minus 60°F (33°C) 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°
After the adjustment
is made, retighten
screws so they
are snug, but be careful
not to overtighten
Reinstall
knob on range and check
performance
