To Use the Lower Oven Drawer

Push in and turn the lower oven
drawer knob to any desired setting.

Allow the lower oven drawer to
preheat. 

■ The ON signal light is located on the

upper right side of the knob and glows
when the knob is in the ON position. It
remains ON until the knob is moved to
the OFF position.

■ The “Heating” signal light is located

below the ON signal light and glows
when the heating elements are active.
Preheat is complete after the “Heating”
signal has turned off for the first time
each use.

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 material in the lower oven drawer. 

The lower oven drawer may be used to bake foods using the same times and temperatures as a standard oven. Foods
ideal for baking in the lower oven drawer include pizza, frozen foods, casseroles, biscuits, rolls and many desserts.

Push in and turn the lower oven
drawer knob to any desired setting.

The lower oven drawer uses less energy than the upper oven. 
Allow the following approximate times for preheating:

(Appearance may vary.)

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks
to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself. 
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. 
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

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.
