Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Your oven control has been precisely set at the factory. This setting may differfrom your previous oven however, so your recipe
times may not give you the results you expect. If you think that the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times,
you can adjust the control so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press Bake .
2. Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and holding the yV .
3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold Bake until the 2 digit display appears. Release Bake. The display now indicates the amount
of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting, if the oven control
has the original factory calibration, the display will read "0."
4. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F (17°C), in 5°F steps by pressing and holding the yV or N/'. Adjust
until the desired amount of offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a minus sign (-) will appear
before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.
5. When you have made the desired adjustment, press (S) to go back to the time of day display.
Note: Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the Self-Cleaning feature temperature.
