Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You m ay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
becom e m ore fam iliar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the therm ostat yourself.
Do not use therm om eters, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the tem perature setting of your oven.
These therm om eters m ay vary 20-40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustm ent will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning tem peratures. The adjustm ent will be retained
in m em ory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat
(on m odels with an o ven tem p Knob)
m
Pull the OVEN TEM P 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 increase the oven temperature, move
the top screw toward the right. You'll hear
a click for each notch you move the knob.
To decrease the oven temperature, move
the top screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F. (Range
is plus or minus 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.
~j] After the adjustment is made, retighten
screws so they are snug, but be careful
not to overtighten.
Replace the knob, matching the flat area
of the knob to the shaft, and check
performance.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
M ost recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or m argarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe m ay not give the sam e results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are m ade with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the m ore noticeable these differences becom e.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
