Question

How do i check if the temprature is correct in my oven?

Answer 1

Put an oven thermometer at the center of the oven and set the oven to 350 degrees F.

Check the temperature indicated on the thermometer after 20 minutes. If it's not within 5 degrees of 350, you'll need to adjust the oven's temperature control.

Adjusting the Setting

Step 1) Turn the oven off.



Step 2) Pull off the temperature control k**b. You can usually pry it off with a thin screwdriver or slide a piece of fabric up behind it and pull.



Step 3)  Note which kind of temperature control k**b you have. There are two types: The first has a s***w in the shaft of the k**b; the second has an adjustment dial on the back of the k**b.

Step 4) Adjust the temperature with the first type by turning the s***w in the shaft with a screwdriver. Turn it clockwise to lower the temperature; turn it counterclockwise to raise the temperature. Turn the s***w just a little bit in the appropriate direction.

Step 5) Adjust the temperature with the second type of k**b by turning the dial on the back of the k**b. (This dial is held in place with a s***w or a clip that will need to be removed.) Raise the temperature setting by turning the dial counterclockwise; lower it by turning the dial clockwise. The notches are typically in 10-degree increments.



Step 6) Test the oven temperature again.



Step 7) Repeat until you're in the right temperature range.
