You Can Make
Adjusting Oven
When cooking a food for the first
time in your new oven, use time
given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may “drift” from the factory
setting, and differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of
5 to 10 minutes are not unusual.
You may be inclined to think that
the new oven is not performing
correctly; however, your new oven
has been set correctly at the factory
and is more likely to be accurate
than the oven it replaced.
If you think the oven should be
hotter or cooler, you can adjust it
yourself. To decide how much to
change the thermostat, set the oven
temperature
higher or lower
than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of
this “test” should give you an idea
of how much the thermostat should
be changed.
To adjust thermostat:
1. Push BAKE pad.
2. Select an oven temperature
between

by
pressing
INCREASE pad and
immediately press BAKE again
and hold for 4 seconds.
Continue to hold BAKE until
preset oven temperature
adjustment shows in display. The
factory set oven temperature
adjustment is
4. Change temperature adjustment
up to 35 degrees hotter
or
35 degrees cooler
using
the INCREASE or DECREASE
pads.
5. Push
to clear
display.
This adjustment you have made to
the oven temperature will be
remembered by the control and
will automatically adjust the oven
temperature by that amount each
time you set a bake temperature.
This adjustment will not affect
Broil temperatures.
Broil and Oven Burner Air
Adjustment Shutters
Air adjustment shutters for the top

The air adjustment shutter for the

The shutter for the bottom (oven)
burner is near the back wall.
To check flames of either burner,
turn burner full on. Burner flames
should not flutter or blow away
from the burner. They should be
blue in color with no trace of
yellow. Foreign particles in the gas
line may cause an orange flame at
first, but this will soon disappear.
If the flames are yellow or flutter,
open the air shutter more. If they
blow away from the burner, close
the air shutter more.
If necessary, use a screwdriver to
loosen the air shutter screw. Then
adjust the air shutter and, when the
flames are right,
the air
shutter screw.
To replace oven bottom:
1. Slip the oven bottom into the
oven so the tabs in the rear of the
oven bottom fit into the slots in the
oven back.
2. Lower the front of the oven
bottom into place and slide the
front
to the right to lock the
oven bottom into place.
Adjusting Orifice Hoods
Check the inner cones of the flames.
The inner cone of the
should
be about
long. If the flames are
not right, use a 1/2” open-end
wrench or adjustable joint pliers
to adjust the orifice hood.
WARNING: If you attempt to
measure the inner cone of the
flame, please use caution. Burns
could result.
To shorten the cones, tighten the
orifice hood by turning in the
direction. To lengthen the cones,
loosen the orifice hood by turning
in the “Nat.” direction.
