You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced.
Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you
still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of
your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures.
The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Put the knob in the

OFF

position.

Pull the knob off by pulling straight out.

Press and hold the

HOTTER

or

COOLER

button

for 5 seconds to make the oven 20°F. hotter or
20°F. cooler.
Replace the knob.

When you are adjusting the thermostat, the following
lights will flash indicating where the thermostat will be
set when you release the adjustment button:

OVEN ON: Indicates the thermostat will be set at the factory
setting.

PREHEATED: Indicates the thermostat will be set 20°F. hotter.

CLEAN: Indicates the thermostat will be set 20°F. cooler.
