Adjusting the oven temperature control Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

1. Pull the broiler drawer open. Broiler door will tilt down when opened. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Place broiler pan grid so grease can drain down sides into lower part of the broiler pan. See picture.

Poor baking/roasting will result. NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners.
