Pull the

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.

approximately 10°F. (Range is plus or minus

60°F from the arrow.) We suggest that you

knob to the setting you want.

Preheat the oven for 10 minutes for baking.

The “oven on” light comes on when the burner is

on. It will cycle on and off during cooking.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.

The foil will trap heat below, and upset the

performance of the oven. Foil can melt and

permanently damage the oven bottom.

Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is

not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a

sheet on a lower rack, several inches below

the food. Do not use more foil than necessary,

and never entirely cover an oven rack with

aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1 (3.81 cm)

from the oven walls to prevent poor heat

circulation.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat,

the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a

spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
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.
