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.
