ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT
DO IT YOURSELF!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced.
We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If
you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make
it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers,
such as tho.se found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.
To Adjust the Thermostat:
I. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Select an oven temperature between 500°F. and 550°F.
3. Immediately, before “ON” appears, press and hold
the BAKE pad for about 4 seconds. The time
display will change to the oven adjustment display.
4. The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter or (-)
35°E. cooler. Press the INCREASE
pad to increase the temperature in 5
degree increments. Press the
DECREASE pad to decrease the
temperature in 5 degree increments.
5. 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.
• Pressing the CLEAR/OFF pad or any function pad
while in the adjust thermostat mode will cancel the
mode and any changes made to the thermostat will
not be saved.
