Notes:

 

Always use the included drawer rack when using the 
Lower Oven Drawer.

The lower oven drawer cannot be used during a self-clean 
cycle of the upper oven.

Do not put food, foil or cookware directly on the bottom 
of the lower oven drawer. Always use the included drawer 
rack.

If foods require a cover, use only foil or lids able to 
withstand baking temperatures. Do not use plastic.

Maximum height of foods that can be placed in the lower 
oven drawer is 4".

Do not put liquid or water in the lower oven drawer.

Never place plastics, paper, canned foods or combustible

Note:

To Adjust the Thermostat

Pull the 

OVEN CONTROL

 knob off the range and look 

at the back side. To make an adjustment, loosen 
(approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, 
the two screws on the back of the knob.

With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge 
of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob 
with the other hand.

To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw toward 
the right. You’ll hear a click for each notch you move the 
knob.

To lower the temperature, move the top screw toward the 
left.

Each click will change the oven temperature 
approximately 10°F. (Range is ± 60°F. from the arrow.) We 
suggest that you make the adjustment one click from 
the original setting and check oven performance before 
making any additional adjustments.

After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they are 
snug, but be careful not to overtighten.

Re-install knob on range and check performance.
