Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The Temperature of

your old oven may have shifted gradually without your noticing the change.

Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But,when

temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:

Pull the Oven Temperature Control

Knob straight off. 2. Loosen the locking screw. Note

the position of the notches.

move

a notch closer to LO.Each notch

equals about 10°F(5°C).

4. To raise the temperature,

move

a notch closer to HI.Each notch

equals about 10°F(5°C).

lighten the locking screw and

replace the control knob.
