Have you pulled the oven knob off the range to see if there is an
adjusting screw opening behind the knob? If there is, give the screw
a 1/2 turn and see if the oven temp is closer or farther away from the
knob indication. Then keep turning the screw in the appropriate
direction until the knob and the temp agree +/- 10 - 15 degrees.
