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

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 Al 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 Seiector 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 oven about lO’F(5”C)
about two full turns and move the row of notches
“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 th”e locking screw and put the knob back on the
