Adjusting the oven temperature control
Oven temperature controls will gradually shift
after years of use. So, even though your new
oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate
temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than
your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of time, you
are not satisfied with the temperature settings,
you can adjust them by following these steps:
1. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature
Control Knob to the off position. Pull knob
straight off and flip it over.
2. Loosen the locking screws inside the control
knob. Note the position of the notches.
3. To lower the temperature, hold knob handle
firmly and move the tooth a notch clockwise.
Each notch equals about 10°F (5%).
4. To raise the temperature, hold knob handle
firmly and move the tooth a notch counter-
clockwise. Each notch equals about
I 0°F (5°C).
Tighten the locking screws and replace the
control knob.
