The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure
to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or too cool, the
temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a higher
or lower temperature than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help
you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Check to be sure the Temperature Control knob is in the OFF position.
2. Pull Temperature control knob straight off the shaft.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the two screws at the back of the knob (Figure 1). Note:
If knob does not have 2 screws, it is not adjustable. There is a series of small indicator
grooves. One of these grooves is positioned next to a tiny pointer. Note the position
of the pointer.
4. To increase the temperature, move the pointer in a clockwise direction. To decrease
the temperature, move the pointer in a counterclockwise direction. The temperature
can be adjusted in increments of 10°F.
5. When the desired adjustment is reached, tighten both screws.
6. To replace the knob, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft. Push the
knob into place. DO NOT force the Temperature Control knob onto the shaft or you
may damage the back of the knob.
Note: Once an adjustment is made, the OFF position will vary from the reference mark on
the backguard depending on the amount of adjustment.
