from the-factory setting and differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of 5 to minutes are
not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the
factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven
which it replaced. However, if you find that your foods
consistently brown too little or too much, you may
make simple adjustment in the thermostat (Oven
Temp) knob. We do not recommend the use of
inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in the
grocery store, to readjust the temperature setting of your
new oven. These temperatures can vary by as much as
degrees. Your oven has been preset to maximize
cooking efficiency.
To adjust thermostat knob:
1.
Pull the knob the shaft, look the back of the
knob and note the current setting before making
adjustments.
2. Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.
3. the oven temperature seems too hot, move the

temperature by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
