Resetting the Oven Temperature Control:
Does your new oven seem hotter or colder tharl your old oven’?
The temperatures in older ovens often shift very gradually. getting hotter
or colder without the user really noticing the change. Your new oven is
properly adlusted to provide accurate temperatures, but when compared
to your old range. the new design may give you different baking results. If
you think that the temperature setting on your range needs to be hotter or
colder, you can adjust the Oven Temperature Control Knob by yourself.
To adjust the setting. first pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob
straight off. On the back, Just across from the locking screw. are a row of
notches on the black part of the knob and one tooth on the chrome part.
To set your ovc’n about lO’F(5’C) cooler, loosen the lockingscrew
about two full turl-1s and move the row of notches one notch closer to
“LO.” To set your oven about lO’F(5-C) warmer. move the row of
notches one notch closer to -‘HI.” Each notch equals about lO’F(5”C).
Tighten the locking screw and put the knob back on the
control panel
