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

Minute Timer
Resetting the Oven Temperature Control Knob:
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 adlusted 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 Temperature Control Knob by yourself.
1
To adjust the setting, first pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob
straight off On the back. lust 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 10 F(5’C) cooler. remove the locking
screw and move the row of notches one notch closer to “LO ‘~ To set your
oven about 1O-F(5’C) warmer, move the row of notches one notch
closer to “HI ” Each notch equals about lO’F(5’C)
