GAS SUPPLY
The serial plate is located inside the lower front panel. It indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn. All
Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.
These models are design-certied for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the regulator is set to
deliver a 4.0” W.C. pressure to the manifold. For propane gas, it is set to deliver 10” W.C. (The regulator is built into the
gas valve )
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator in the valve shall be installed to the outdoors in
accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural
Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable.
This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
A 3/4” NPT line is provided at the rear for the gas connection. An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low
pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. Fluctuations of more than 25% on
natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create problems and aect burner operating characteristics.
An adequate gas supply line to the unit should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe from the unit to which it
is connected.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
All pipe joints and connections must be tested thoroughly for gas leaks. Use only soapy water for testing on all gases.
NEVER use an open ame to check for gas leaks. All connections must be checked for leaks after the unit has been put
into operation. Test pressure should not exceed 14” W.C.

WARNING
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove ue products can
cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the ow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front or rear of the unit as combustion air
enters through these areas.
Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
VENTILATION
NOTICE
Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the
warranty.
If a ventilation canopy is used, it is recommended that a canopy extend 6” past the appliance and that the bottom edge be
located 6’6” from the oor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This position prevents
dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-o grease in a drip pan, unusually installed with a lter.
If an exhaust fan is used, it should be installed at least 2” above the ue opening at the top of the unit. A strong exhaust
fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance. Fresh air openings approximately
equal to the fan area will relieve such a vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check the
appliance with the exhaust fan in the “OFF” position. Do this only long enough to check equipment performance. Then
turn the exhaust fan back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.
If the oven ue is connected directly to an outside ue, a CSA International design certied down draft diverter must be
installed at the ue outlet of the oven and connected to the outside ue.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Convection ovens require connection to a supply of electricity. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically ground-
ed in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or
the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable. An electrical diagram is located on the side of the control panel
assembly (see drawing on page 47). Electrical diagrams can also be found in this manual beginning on page 49.
Ovens ordered with the 120V power option are equipped with one or two power cords with a standard 120V single-phase
plug with a ground prong. Single-deck ovens will have one power cord; double-deck ovens will have two.
Ovens with other power options have a terminal block on the rear of the oven that must be wired to the power supply.
Depending on how the power supply is connected to the terminal block, the oven can operate on either single-phase of
three-phase power.

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable.
Wiring diagrams are located on the side of the control panel assembly, as well as in this manual (beginning on page 49).
Be sure that the input voltage and phase match the requirements shown on the serial plate, which is located inside the
lower front panel.
Ovens ordered to operate on 120V power have a three-wire cord. (Double-deck ovens have two power cords, one for
each oven.) Each cord has a three-prong plug that ts any standard three-prong grounded receptacle. Single-oven units
require a 15 ampere supply, while double-oven units require a 20 ampere supply. (120V ovens shipped to Canada do
NOT have factory installed power cords, and must be wired as described below.)
Ovens without a power cord have a terminal block. The electric supply must be brought through the service panel in the
rear of the oven and connected to the terminal block. See the wiring diagrams in this manual beginning page 49. The unit
must be adequately grounded. Use 167°F (75°C) wire for all supply lines.
Ovens are factory-equipped with a two-pole terminal block, located behind a cover plate located on the rear of the oven.
To connect the supply wires, remove the cover plate, then route the supply wires and the grounding wire through the
strain relief tting to the terminal block. Insert the supply wires, one each, into the two poles of the terminal block and
tighten the screws. Insert the ground wire into the grounding lug and tighten the screw. Re-attach the cover plate.
Three phase units are wired as above, using only two supply wires. The third wire is not used and must be properly
terminated.
All units are shipped wired as specied by factory order. Conversion between single-phase and three-phase can
be accomplished by referring to phase loading and line amperes chart on wiring diagram for wire size and ampere
requirements.

NOTICE
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code
CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable, including:
1. The appliance and its individual shuto valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shuto
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
A 3/4” NPT line is provided at the rear for the gas connection.
If this equipment is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specied when ordered, contact
the appropriate authorized Southbend Service Representative or the Southbend Service Department. Failure to install
with proper orice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty.
The serial plate is located inside the front lower panel. It indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn. All
Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.
These models are design-certied for operation on natural or propane gases. For natural gas, the regulator is set to
deliver a 4.0” W.C. pressure to the manifold. For propane gas, it is set to deliver 10” W.C. (Regulator is built into the gas
valve)
This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped. The inlet pressure before the
regulator should be 7-10” W.C. for natural gas or 11-14” W.C. for LP gas. (Regulator is built into the gas valve)
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for
satisfactory performance. Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create problems and
aect burner operating characteristics.
An adequate gas supply line to the unit should be no smaller than the I.D. of the pipe from the unit to which it is
connected.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
CAUTION
ALL PIPE JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE TESTED THOROUGHLY FOR GAS LEAKS. USE ONLY
SOAPY WATER FOR TESTING ON ALL GASES. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AFTER THE UNIT HAS BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION.
TEST PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1/4” W.C.
1. Check that all screws and bolts are tightened.
2. Move the oven into the position at which it will be operated.
3. Check that the oven is level. If not, adjust the legs.
4. Check that the appropriate clearances are satised (see page 4).

OPERATION
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shut o valve. Immediately call the
emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
CAUTION
To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the even of main burner ignition failure a ve
minute purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.
NOTICE
For an appliance equipped with a convection oven, no attempt should be made to operate oven during a power
failure.
LIGHTING, RELIGHTING, AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
To light the oven, just switch the power switch at the top left corner of the control panel to the “ON” position. (The oven is
equipped with a direct hot surface ignition system. There is no pilot to light.) For TC models only, the power switch must
be set to the “ON” position, the touchscreen must be active, and a mode selected, such as pressing Manual, selecting a
recipe, or choosing a rack group, in order to light the oven.
If the burners fail to ignite within four seconds, the oven will automatically shut o the gas and wait a few seconds to allow
the gas that was released to dissipate, and try to light the burners again. If the burners still fail to ignite after three such
attempts, the oven will stop trying, even though the power switch is in the “ON” position. To continue to attempt to light the
burners, turn the power switch “OFF” and then “ON” again.
To shutdown the oven, switch the power switch to the “OFF” position. For a complete shutdown, also open the control
panel and turn the manual shut-o valve to the “OFF” position.
OPERATING THE CONTROLS
A convection oven is a dierent type of oven that oers many features and advantages to the food service operation. The
additional capabilities and features of the oven require some learning. However, the operation of the oven is not dicult to
understand or control once you have some practice.
The oven will have one of the two types of control panels:
• Models with Standard Controls are the most similar to a standard (non-convection) oven. Instructions for operating
this type of oven begin on page 23.
• Models with Touch Controls are the most versatile option allowing for manual cooking with cook and hold, as well as
programming recipes and cooking groups. Instructions for operating this type of oven begin on page 25.

OPERATION OF STANDARD MODELS
Models with Standard Controls operate much like a standard oven: you turn the oven ON and select a cooking
temperature. Two additional controls are used to control the fan (as described below).
The timer is a reminder to you of when to remove food from the oven.
The timer does NOT control the temperature of the oven.
To cook, do the following:
1. Turn the oven ON using the Power Switch at the top of the control panel.
2. Select the desired fan speed using the Fan Speed switch. The appropriate fan speed (HI or LOW) depends on the type
of food being cooked.
3. Switch the Fan Mode switch to COOK. The fan will run continuously when the oven doors are closed (the fan does not
cycle on and o with the burners). (If this switch is set to COOL the only dierence is that the fan will continue to run
when the oven doors are open.)
4. Set the cooking temperature by turning the Cook Temperature Control until the indicator mark on the knob is pointed
to the desired cooking temperature. The Heat On indicator will light when the burners are on and will remain on while
the oven preheats.
5. Wait until the Heat On indicator has come on and gone out three times. At that time the oven will have reached the set
cooking temperature.
6. Open the oven doors, load the product into the oven, and close the doors.
7. You can use the Cook Timer as a reminder of when the remove the load from the oven. If so desired, turn the Cook
Timer knob until the indicator mark points to the desired cooking time (up to 55 minutes). The timer knob will rotate
counterclockwise as the timer runs down, indicating how much time remains. You can turn the knob while cooking to
increase or decrease the remaining time. When the timer runs out, a buzzer will sound for a short time, then turn itself
o. (To immediately silence the buzzer, turn the Cook Timer knob to the OFF position.) The timer is a reminder to you;
the timer does not control the oven.
If you open the oven doors, the burners in cool mode will shut o until the doors are closed. However, the timer will
continue running even if the doors are open.
For ovens that are equipped with an oven interior light, to turn on the light press and hold the switch located at the
bottom of the control panel.
8. When the load has nished cooking, you can rapidly cool the load by opening the oven doors (which will shut o the
burners) and switching the Fan Mode to COOL (which will cause the fan to run even though the doors are open). For
the most rapid cooling, also switch the Fan Speed switch to HI.
9. When you are done cooking, turn the Cook Temperature control to the lowest setting (fully counterclockwise) and
switch the Power Switch to OFF.

NOTICE
All selections are remembered after a cooking cycle has begun and will be recalled upon return to the page until
power is cycled. If selections were made but Cook was not pressed or the power was cycled, the selections will
return to the previous default settings.
1. Set the cooking temperature (140 °F – 550 °F/60 °C – 288 °C) either by using the add/subtract buttons or by selecting
the temperature itself. Using the add/subtract buttons changes the temperature by ±10 °F/5 °C. Selecting the
temperature will lead to a number pad (see Number Pad in the Conguration section for how to use it). Temperatures
keyed above or below the range will not be accepted and will output the closest min or max.
NOTICE
If the internal temperature is below the set temperature minus Ready Oset Temperature, the top ribbon will appear
with a preheating message and Cook will not be accessible. When the cooking temperature is achieved, the ribbon
will read Ready and cooking may begin. If the temperature of the oven starts above the cooking temperature the
ribbon will read Too Hot until it cools to the desired temperature. The top ribbon will read Cooling when Cool Down
is active (see Cooking Mode).
2. Set Time either by using the add/subtract buttons or by
selecting the time itself. Using the add/subtract buttons steps
the time by ±10 seconds. Upon reaching an hour the format
will change from MM:SS to HH:MM. Selecting the time will lead

Rack Cooking
Rack Cooking is used to cook recipes of similar cooking temperature and fan speed (Rack Group) simultaneously.
Recipes need to be created ahead of time to make Rack Groups. Similar recipe cooking temperature is dened within
the limits of the Group Temp Allowance temperature added to the cook temperature of the rst item in the group (see
example). Recipes that have multiple stages cannot be included in Rack Groups. See Settings in Conguration to
change the Group Temp Allowance.
Example: With a Group Temp Allowance of 10 °F, a recipe that cooks at 350 °F can be grouped with a recipe that
cooks at 340 °F and/or a recipe that cooks at 360 °F. If the rst recipe chosen though is 340 °F cook temperature,
then the 360 °F recipe will not appear during group creation.
Rack Setup
1. Choose the edit button in the top right corner.
2. A New square will appear on the screen in the next available
space on the nal Group Selection page. Once identied
press the square.

COOKING HINTS
In a standard (non-convection) oven, the air is relatively still and an insulating layer of moisture surrounds the cooking
food product. In a convection oven, the fan-blown circulating air strips away this insulating layer allowing the heat to
penetrate faster for quicker baking and roasting. Hence, in a convection oven cooking procedures and techniques may
require some modication for successful results. As a general rule, the cooking time will be shorter and the cooking
temperature will be 25 °F to 75 °F lower than those called for in recipes for a standard oven.
TIME & TEMPERATURE
Time and temperature are important. The “Guide to Times and Temperatures” later in this section is a starting point. The
actual best cooking time and temperature will depend on such factors as the size of the load and mixture of the recipe
(particularly moisture). Once an appropriate time and temperature has been established for a particular product and load,
you will nd the result of succeeding loads to be similar.
OVERLOADING
Do NOT overload the oven. The size of the load that can be cooked satisfactorily depends largely on the particular
product. As a rule, ve racks can be successfully used for shallow cakes, cookies, pies, etc. For deeper cakes (such as
angel food), use only three racks because of the size of the pan and the space required for rising. For hamburger patties,
sh sticks, cheese sandwiches, etc., a full complement of racks and pans is usually satisfactory.
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
Here are some suggestions that will assist in getting the best possible performance from a convection oven:
• Pre-heat the oven thoroughly before use.
• When re-thermalizing frozen products, pre-heat the oven to 50 °F higher than the planned cooking temperature. After
loading, reduce the temperature setting to the appropriate cooking temperature.
• Space the racks and pans as evenly as possible to allow air circulation.
• Center the load on the racks to allow for proper air circulation around the sides. Do not cover the racks
completely with pans.
• Do not use a deep pan for shallow cakes or cookies, etc. Air circulation across the surface of the product is essential.
WARNING
THE USE OF ALUMINUM FOIL CAN CAUSE HEAT DISTRIBUTION PROBLEMS IN OVENS. EXTREME CARE
MUST BE USED WHEN PLACING ALUMINUM FOIL IN THE OVEN TO ENSURE THAT IT DOES NOT BLOCK OR
CHANGE THE AIR FLOW. THE USE OF ALUMINUM FOIL MAY VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY IF ITS USE IS
ASCERTAINED TO BE A PROBLEM.
HOLDING FOOD BEFORE SERVING
Any food item prepared in steam table pans can be held until being served by setting the Hold thermostat to 160°F.
Examples include stued pork chops, oysters Rockefeller, and any vegetable entree.

If... then...
Cakes are dark on the sides and not done in the center… lower oven temperature
Cake edges are too brown… reduce number of pans or lower oven temperature.
Cakes have a light outer color… raise temperature.
Cakes settle slightly in the center… bake longer or raise oven temperature slightly. Do not open doors except
to load or unload product..
Cakes ripple… do not overload pans or use batter that is too thin.
Cakes are too coarse… lower oven temperature.
Pies have uneven color… reduce number of pies per rack or eliminate use of baking pans
Brown sugar topping or meringue blows off… after oven is preheated, turn off oven and put product in oven until
topping sets, then turn oven back on..
Rolls have uneven color… reduce number or size of pans.
Meats are browned and not done in center… lower oven temperature and roast longer..
Meats are well done and not browned… raise temperature. Limit amount of moisture.
Meats develop hard crust… reduce temperature or place pan of water in oven.
Excessive meat shrinkage occurs… lower oven temperature..
GUIDE TO TIMES AND TEMPERATURES
As a guide, set oven temperatures 25 °F to 75 °F lower than called for in recipes for non-convection ovens, (i.e., range or
deck ovens).
Time and temperature will vary depending on load, mix, size, portion, initial temperature of food, and other factors. Use
the following chart as a starting point to develop your cooking techniques. Rack loading and position may aect results.
Experimentation may be necessary to suit individual requirements.

CLEANING
Southbend equipment is sturdily constructed of the best materials and is designed to provide durable service when
treated with ordinary care. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and
cleaned daily. Naturally, the periods for this care and cleaning depend on the amount and degree of usage.
Following daily and periodic maintenance procedures will enhance the long life of your equipment. Climatic conditions
(such as salt air) may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the equipment could be adversely
aected.
The oven interior is nished with a porcelain enamel coating unless stainless steel option is selected . “Spillovers” should
be cleaned from the interior bottom surface as soon as possible to prevent carbonizing and a burnt-on condition. Grease
or any residue should be cleaned from interior surfaces as soon as it accumulates.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE APPLIANCE BEFORE CLEANING.
WHEN CLEANING THE BLOWER WHEEL, BE SURE TO HAVE THE POWER SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION.
DAILY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Turn the power switch to OFF and allow the oven to cool.
2. Remove the oven-interior racks and rack guide frames. (The rack guide frames are readily removable by merely
raising to disengage them from their sockets.) Wash the racks and rack guides in a sink with mild detergent and
warm water. Dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth.
3. Look to see if any foreign matter has accumulated on the blades of the blower wheel (which will reduce air
circulation). If necessary, remove the right-side lining of the oven, which is secured by thumbscrews near each corner.
Use a sti brush to remove accumulations from the blower blades, then wash with soap and water.
4. Wash the interior surfaces with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly with a
clean cloth. For stubborn accumulations of grease and carbon buildup, use a commercial Non-Caustic Oven and Grill
Cleaner. Use of cleaners not specied as Non-Caustic may damage the unit.
5. Clean the control panel with warm water and mild soap. Never use cleaning solvents with a hydrocarbon base.
6. Wipe the other exterior surfaces with a clean damp cloth. If the exterior surfaces require more thorough cleaning, see
“Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces” on the next page.
7. Return the rack guides and racks to their appropriate locations inside the oven.
8. LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN AT NIGHT AFTER CLEANING. This allows the oven to dry thoroughly after cleaning and
also prolongs the life of the door gasket.
MONTHLY CLEANING
Clean around the rear of motor (where the vent screen is located), louvered panels, and primary air holes in the rear of
the oven where grease or lint may have accumulated.
CLEANING
SEMI-ANNUAL CLEANING
At least twice a year have your Southbend Authorized Service Agency or another qualied service technician clean and
adjust the unit for maximum performance.
At least twice a year the oven’s venting system should be examined and cleaned.
CAUTION
ONLY USE A COMMERCIAL NON CAUSTIC CLEANER ON THE INTERIOR TO PREVENT POTENTIAL DAMAGE

CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
To remove normal dirt, grease and the product residue from stainless steel that operates at LOW temperature, use
ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
To remove grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors, that have BAKED on the equipment, apply cleanser to a
damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines. Rubbing cleanser, as gently
as possible, in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the nish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A
CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits that do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by
rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY
STEEL WOOL, as any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the nish. NEVER USE
A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS.
Surfaces that are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more dicult to clean. Marring also increases the
possibility of a corrosive attack. Renishing may then be required.
To remove heat tint – Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected
to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by the thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and
are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint that does not respond to this procedure calls
for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines, using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring
pad in combination with a powered cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying, or by reducing heat to
equipment during slack periods.
CLEANING
WARNING
For an appliance equipped with casters, (1) the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the
Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances,
CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for
Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41, or Quick Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9, (2) adequate
means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-
disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement and (3) the restraining means should be
attached to a frame member on the back of the unit.
WARNING
If disconnection of the restraint (page 12) is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc., reconnect it when the
appliance is moved to its originally installed position.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE ordinary steel wool as any particles left on the surface will rust.
NEVER USE a wire brush, steel or abrasive scouring pad (except stainless), scraper, le or other steel tools. Surfaces
which are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more dicult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of
corrosive attack.
DO NOT clean door gasket with a high chlorine solution or bleach.
NEVER use any corrosive cleaner. Use only cleaners approved for stainless steel.
WARNING
Improper cleaning can result in expensive repairs or electrical shock. Do not get water on electrical controls or motors.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of accidental electric shock, disconnect the unit from the power supply before moving the unit.

Temperature Controller (Standard-Control Models Only)
The calibration of the temperature controller should not be changed until sucient experience with cooking results has
denitely proved that the temperature controller is not maintaining proper oven temperatures. Before any recalibration is
attempted, the oven temperature should be checked by the following procedure:
1. Remove all trays and pans from the oven.
2. Place a thermocouple or a reliable mercury oven-type thermometer at the center of the middle rack.
3. Turn the oven ON and set the temperature control knob to 400 °F.
4. The amber “heat on” light will go out when the oven temperature is reached.
5. Allow three cycles for the temperature to stabilize.
6. Read the thermocouple or thermometer immediately after the light goes out for the third time, and again immediately
after it comes on the next time.
7. If the average of these readings varies by more than 10 °F from the dial setting, recalibrate by the following
procedure. Recalibration should be attempted only by a competent service technician.
Use the following procedure to recalibrate the oven:
1. Loosen the two set screws that secure the temperature-control knob to the temperature-control shaft.
2. Remove the knob from the shaft, being careful not to rotate the knob or shaft.
3. Replace the knob on the shaft so that the indicator mark on the knob points directly at the temperature that was
measured at the center of the oven.
