The Surface Unit Control Knobs must be pushed in before turning them. This helps avoid turning them on accidentally when wiping off the Control Panel. And it helps keep small children from turning them on. You must push in on them. ..then turn to the setting

you want.

A design by each knob tells which unit is turned on by that knob.

(For example. [ . 1 shows that tile right front unit.. the one closest to you

on your right.. will heat when you push in and turn that knob.)

The knob may be set anywhere between “HI” and “OFF.” As you use your surface units. you will get used to the settings that match your pots, pans and favorite foods the best.

As a guide. the setting should cook at about the following heats:

HI - To start most foods cooking. To bring water to a boil.

MED-HI ~ To hold a rapid boil; to fry pancakes or chicken.

MED -To make gravy, puddings and icings; to cook large quan-

tities of Lseyetables.

LO - To keep food warm until ready to serve. You ~111 notice

Variable Broil Feature:

You might want to broil some foods slower than others. Broiling can be slowed down by setting a lower temperature on the Oven Temperature Control Knob Instead of “BROIL.” Using a lower temperature will cause the broil element to turn on and off during the broiling so that the food broils more slowly.

When the Oven Temperature Control Knob is on “BROIL.” the Broil Element heats all the time. Set the temperature lower and it heats some of the time The lower the temperature setting, the shorter are the periods of heating.

NOTE:

The Oven Selector must be in the “BROIL” position in

order for the Broil Element to heat.

Resetting the oven temperature control:

Does your new oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperatures in older ovens often shift very gradually, getting hotter or colder without the user really noticing the change. Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, but when compared to your old range. the new design may give you different baking results. If you think that the temperature setting on your range needs to be hotter or colder. you can adjust the Oven Temperature Control Knob by yourself.

To adjust the setting, first pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob straight off. On the back. just across from the locking screw. are a row of notches on the black part of the knob and one tooth on the chrome part.

To set your o\ren about 10 F(5’C) cooler. loosen the locking screw about two full turn< and move the row of notches one notch closer to

“LO ‘. To set your oven about lO”F(5-C) warmer, move the row of notches one notch closer to “HI.” Each notch equals about lO^F(5-C).

Tighten the locking screw and put the knob back on the

(xntrol
