withstand baking temperatures. Do not use plastic.
Maximum height of foods that can be placed in the lower
oven drawer is 4".
Do not put liquid or water in the lower oven drawer.

(approximately one turn), but do not completely remove,
the two screws on the back of the knob.
With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge
2
of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob
with the other hand.
To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw toward
the right. You’ll hear a click for each notch you move the
knob.
Never place plastics, paper, canned foods or combustible
material in the lower oven drawer.
To lower the temperature, move the top screw toward the
left.
Each click will change the oven temperature
approximately 10°F. (Range is ± 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.
After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they are
snug, but be careful not to overtighten.
Re-install knob on range and check performance.
