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 on BROIL and the door

must

be partly open for all broiling temperatures.

Resetting the oven temperature control:

Does your new

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 mnge 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.
