Baking Adjust the Oven Thermostat
ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—
DO IT YOURSELF!
You may find 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 degrees.
To Adjust the Thermostat:
1. Pull off the knob.
2. Loosen both screws on back of the knob.
3. Hold both parts of the knob as shown in the
illustration of the back of the OVEN CONTROL
knob and turn so the lower screw moves in the
desired direction. You will hear and feel the
notches as you turn the knob. Each notch changes
temperature about 15° Fahrenheit.
The lower screw moves
toward HOTTER to
increase the temperature.
The lower screw moves
toward COOLER to
decrease the temperature.
4. Tighten the screws.
5. Return the knob to the range.
Re-check oven performance before making any
additional adjustments.
