that your foods consistently brown
too little or too much, you may
make a simple adjustment in the
thermostat (Oven Temp) knob.
Pull the knob off the shaft, look
at the back of the knob and note
the current setting before making
any adjustment. The knob is
factory set with the top screw
directly under the pointer.
