However,if this ovenhasreplaced

youmay notice a differenceinthe

degreeofbrowningor the length
oftime required whenusingyour

controlshavea tendencyto “drift”
overa period of years and since
thisdrift is very gradual, it is not
readily noticed. Therefore, you

mayhavebecome accustomed to

yourpreviousovenwhichmay
haveprovideda higher or lower

Beforeattemptingto havethe

temperature of your new oven

changed, be sureyouhavefollowed
the baking time and temperature of
the recipe carefully.Then, after

you haveused the ovena fewtimes
and you feelthe oven is too hot

or too cool, there isa simple
adjustment you can make yourself
on the OVEN TEMP knob.

Pull the knob off the control shaft

and look at the back side. There is

a disc in the center of the knob skirt
with a seriesof notches on the inner
edge nextto the knob shaft. One of
these notches is positioned over a

pointeron the side oftheknob shaft.

After the adjustmentis made, make

Re-installknob on range and
