Abstract: The present invention relates to the calibration of a thermostat used for controlling the temperature of an oven. Calibration is provided for in the invention by two slots cut out in the oven wall or range faceplate through which screws pass to mount the thermostat to this wall or faceplate. Also passing through this wall or faceplate is the operating shaft of the thermostat to which the control knob will be attached. The screws further position an indicating dial. The screws may be loosened to allow the thermostat to be rotated relative to the oven wall. The indicating means is rotatable with the thermostat relative to the oven wall. A reference point is provided on the oven wall so that the amount of recalibration is readily determined. The present thermostat provides a novel calibration arrangement.
