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 the OVEN TEMP
knob off the shaft,
look at the back of the
knob and note the
current setting before
making any
adjustment. The knob
is factory set with the
top screw directly under
the pointer.
2. Loosen both screws on back of the knob.
3. Hold the knob as shown in the illustration of the back
of the OVEN TEMP knob and turn so the bottom
screw moves in the desired direction. You will hear
and feel notches as you turn the knob. Each notch
changes the temperature about 10° Fahrenheit.
The bottom screw
moves toward HOTTER
to increase the temperature.
The bottom 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.
