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.
Press the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same
time for 2 seconds until the display shows “SF.”
Press the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in
the display.
The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+)
35°F. hotter or (-) 35°F. cooler. Press the + pad to
increase the temperature in 1 degree increments.
Press the – pad to decrease the temperature in 1
degree increments.
When you have made the adjustment, press the
START
pad to go back to the time of day display.
Use your oven as you would normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or self-cleaning
temperatures. It will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat
The type of margarine will affect
baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such
as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not
give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The
lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
