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°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures or the self cleaning temperatures (on some models). The
adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

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 affects
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.
Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the shaft and
look at the back of the knob and note the
current setting before making any
adjustments.
Loosen both screws on the back of the
knob.
To increase the oven temperature, move
the pointer toward the words “Make
Hotter”.
To decrease the oven temperature, turn the
pointer toward the words “Make Cooler”.
Each notch changes the oven temperature
by 10°F.
Tighten the screws.
Replace the knob, matching the flat area
of the knob to the shaft, and check
performance.

to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°F cooler. Touch
the + pad to increase the temperature in 1
degree increments.
Touch the - pad to decrease the
temperature in 1 degree increments.
When you have made the adjustment,
touch the Start/On pad to go back to the
time of day display. Use your oven as you
would normally.

broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. It will be
retained in memory after a power failure.
