Using the Oven Controls
Baking

The rack(s) should be placed so the
top of the food will be centered in

2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides
of the pan and the oven walls and
other pans. For more information,
see the Cooking Guide.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature Control
Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of
your old oven may have shifted gradually without you noticing the change.
Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But
when comparing to your old oven, the new design may give you difficult
results.
If after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the
temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:
1. Pull the Oven Temperature Control
Knob straight off.
OFF
i. To lower the temperature, move
the tooth a notch closer to LO.
Each notch equals about 10°F
(SOC].
LOCKING
OFF
2. Loosen the locking screw. Note
the position of the notches.
4. To raise the temperature, move
the tooth a notch closer to HI. Each
notch equals about 10°F (WC].
Tighten fhe locking screw and
replace the control knob.

Broiling
1. Position the rack before turning
the oven on. See “Broil Chart” in
the Cooking Guide or a reliable
cookbook for recommended
rack positions.
3. Close the door to the Broil Stop
position (open about 4 inches,
10.2 cm). The door will stay open
by itself.
2. Put the broiler pan and food on
the rack.
4. Set the Oven Selector and Oven
Temperature Control to BROIL.
5. When broiling is done, turn both
the Oven Selector and Oven

Custom Broil
l If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control counterclock-
wise until the Oven Signal Light goes off.
l If you want the food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature
Control between 150” and 325°F (65.5” and 162.7”C). The lower the tempera-
ture, the slower the cooking.
The Oven Selector must be on BROIL for all broiling temperatures.
NOTE:The door must be partly open whenever the oven Is set to BROIL.
leaving the door open allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures.
