How to Adjust a Magic Chef Range CLY1610BDB Thermostat

The Magic Chef Range model CLY1610BDB is a cooking solution for small homes and recreational vehicles. Unlike traditional ranges, it does not offer the convenience of adjusting thermostat temperatures. Instead of adjusting the thermostat, if you want to make any changes, you must replace the thermostat with a new part that has different settings than the original. The replacement part could also repair a faulty thermostat that no longer heats like it used to.
