USING YOUR OVEN
(continued)
Oven Light
Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may
cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless
and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
Oven Thermostat Adjustment
The temperature control in your new oven has been
carefully adjusted to provide accurate temperatures.
However, if this oven has replaced one you have used
for several years, you may notice a difference in the
degree of browning or the length of time required
when using your favorite recipes because oven
temperature controls have a tendency to “drift” over a
period of years.
Before attempting to have the temperature of your
new oven changed, be sure you have followed the
baking time and temperature of the recipe carefully.
Then, after you have used the oven a few times and
you feel the oven is too hot or too cool, there is a
simple adjustment you can make yourself on the
OVEN TEMP knob.
Pull the knob off the shaft and look at the back side.
There is a disc in the center of the knob skirt with a
series of marks opposite a pointer.
Note to which mark the pointer is pointing. To make
an adjustment, carefully loosen (approximately one
turn), but do not completely remove the two screws
that hold the skirt to the knob. Hold the knob blade in
one hand and the outer skirt in the other hand.

We suggest that you make the adjustment one mark
from the original setting and check oven performance
before making any additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made press skirt and knob
together and retighten screws so they are snug, but be
careful not to overtighten.
Re-install
knob on range
and check performance.
NOTE: After an adjustment has been made to the
OVEN TEMP knob, OFF and BROIL will not lineup
with the indicator mark on the control panel as they
previously did. This condition is normal and will not
create a problem.
To raise the oven temperature, move the pointer in the
direction of the arrow for RAISE. To lower the
temperature, move the pointer in the direction of the
arrow for LOWER. Each mark will change the oven
temperature approximately
20”F.
