Using the lower oven drawer.
To Use the Lower Oven Drawer
Push in and turn the lower oven drawer
knob to any desired setting.
Allow the lower oven drawer to preheat.
■ The ON signal light is located on the upper
right side of the knob and glows when the
knob is in the ON position. It remains ON
until the knob is moved to the OFF position.
■ The “Heating” signal light is located below
the ON signal light and glows when the
heating elements are active. Preheat is
complete after the “Heating” signal has
turned off for the first time
with each use.
NOTES:
■ Always use the included drawer rack when
using the Lower Oven Drawer.
■
The lower oven drawer cannot be used
during a self-clean cycle of the upper oven.
■ Do not put food, foil or cookware directly
on the bottom of the lower oven drawer.
Always use the included drawer rack.
■
If foods require a cover, use only foil or lids
able to withstand baking temperatures. Do
not use plastic.
■
Maximum height of foods that can be
placed in the lower oven drawer is 4
″.
■ Do not put liquid or water in the lower oven
drawer.
■
Never place plastics, paper, canned foods
or combustible material in the lower oven
drawer.
The lower oven drawer may be used to bake foods using the same times and temperatures as a standard oven. Foods
ideal for baking in the lower oven drawer include pizza, frozen foods, casseroles, biscuits, rolls and many desserts.
Push in and turn the lower oven
drawer knob to any desired
setting.
The lower oven drawer uses less energy than the upper oven.
Allow the following approximate times for preheating:

(Appearance may vary.)
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks
to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures.
Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off
the range and look at the back side.
To make an adjustment, loosen
(approximately one turn), but do not
completely remove, the two screws
on the back of the knob.
With the back of the knob facing you,
hold the outer edge of the knob with one
hand and turn the front of the knob with
the other hand.
To raise the oven temperature, move the
top screw toward the right. You’ll hear a
click for each notch you move the knob.
To lower the temperature, move the top
screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven temperature
approximately 10°F. (Range is ± 60°F. from
the arrow.) We suggest that you make the
adjustment one click from the original setting
and check oven performance before making
any additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, retighten
screws so they are snug, but be careful
not to overtighten.
Re-install knob on range and check
performance.
