ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler.
If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to
make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

Note the position of the pointer to the screw

before making the adjustment.

Cooler Hotter

(appearance may vary)

Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range and look
at the back side.

To make 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
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.

After the adjustment is made, retighten the
screws so they are snug, but be careful not to
overtighten. Reinstall the knob on the range
and check performance.
