Adjust the Oven Thermostat---Do
It Yourselt?
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°E
(I 1-22°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
10°E (6°C.).
[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 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 perfbrmance.
