Oven Temperature Knob (on some models)
Turn the Oven Temp knob to the setting you want .
■ Preheat the oven for 10 minutes for baking.
■ The "Oven Heating" light comes on when you set your
oven temperature knob . The light will stay on until you
set your knob back to the off position .
To Adjust the Thermostat
(on models with an Oven Temp Knob):
1 . Pull the Oven Temp 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 .
2 . 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 .
3 . After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so
they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten .
4 . Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the
knob to the shaft, and check performance .
Certain models comply with the Star-K Jewish Sabbath requirements for use during the Sabbath and holidays . For
the latest list of models, see star-k.org .
Start a Baking
To start a baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the
desired temperature . Because a thermostat model will
respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob
is used to turn on the oven, this operation should take
place before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.
Adjusting the Temperature
To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with
Sabbath requirements, the user must observe the orange
glow through the oven bottom slots which are located at
the left and right sides of the oven bottom . During normal
operation, the orange glow cycles on and off every few
minutes . The proper operating procedure to make an
oven temperature adjustment while in compliance with
Sabbath requirements is as follows:
■ To adjust the oven temperature to a higher value, the
user must first confirm a constant orange glow through
the oven bottom slots . Only then, can the user turn the
knob to a higher temperature than was previously set .
■ To adjust the oven temperature to a lower value, the user
must first confirm that there is no orange glow through
the oven bottom slots . Only then, can the user turn the
knob to a lower temperature than was previously set .
Stop Baking
To stop a baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the
off position . Because a thermostat model will respond
with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used
to turn off the oven, this operation should take place after
the Sabbath or Holidays end.
Oven Light Operation
The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the
start of the Sabbath or the holiday . Opening and closing
of the door will not change the state of the oven light .
Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note
If a power outage occurs during a Sabbath bake, the unit
will return to Sabbath bake mode when power is restored
and the oven will return to the same temperature as
before the outage, without any intervention from the user .
