Use time given on recipe when
cooking for the first time. Oven
thermostats, in time, may “drift”
from the
setting and
differences in timing of 5 to 10
minutes between an
and a new
oven are not unusual. Your oven
has been set correctly at the factory
and is mom apt to be accurate than the
oven which it replaced. However,
if your foods consistently brown
too little or too much, you may
adjust oven thermostat:
make a simple adjustment in the
OVEN
knob.
1. Remove knob, and hold it so
pointer is at top of knob. Using a
PULL KNOB OFF OF SHAFT,
pot holder or similar material, hold
LOOK AT BACK OF KNOB AND
“skirt” of knob firmly in one hand.
CURRENT SETTING,
Grasp handle of knob in other
BEFORE
ANY
hand. Note position of pointer and
ADJUSTMENT,
turn handle to move pointer. To
increase temperature, turn toward
RAISE; to decrease turn toward
LOWER. Each notch changes
temperature 10 degrees.
Pointer is designed not to move
easily. If it is seated so it is difficult
to move, pointer maybe loosened
slightly. Insert a
screwdriver,
knife blade or similar instrument
and
up end of pointer slightly.
2. After adjustment is made, press
pointer firmly against knob. Return
knob to range, matching flat area
on knob and shaft. IMPORTANT:
Be sure to return knobs to the
shafts from which they were
removed.
Recheck oven performance before
making an additional adjustment.
