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 different 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
3. To lower the temperaturq move
a notch closer to LO.Each notch
equals aboutlOaF (5°C).
2. Loosen the locking screw. Note
the position of the notches.
OFF
4. To raise the temperature, move
a notch closer to HI. Each notch
equals aboutlO”F (S’C).
Tighten the locking screw and
replace the control knob.

Broiling
. Position the rack(s) before turn-
ing the oven on. See broil chart in
the “Cooking Guide” or a reliable
cookbook for recommended
rack positons.
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 the

Custom Broil
l If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control counterclock-
wlse until the Heating Light goes off. The light will turn on and off during Custom
Broil.
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 temperature,
the slower the cooking.
The Oven Selector must be on BROIL for all broiling temperatures.
